She was doing it on purpose.

He just knew it.

The way she smiles at him, that unique smile branded for him alone.

How she held his hands, that only warmth she seeks.

That look in her eyes directed towards him alone, telling him 'You are my world.'

The proximity between the two of them, that no one else can trespass.

And how she called his name so endearingly, just the way he desired,

"Sou-chan!"

That place belonged to Rin, five years ago.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Rin? Is something wrong?"

Rin's train of thoughts was halted as soon as he heard the sudden inquisition of her mother, not missing the hint of genuine concern on her voice.

But it didn't stop his gaze to be torn away from them.

It didn't stop his mind to burn the image of this scene in front of him.

The image of his little sister and his best friend looking so f*cking perfect together

Not as childhood friends or as siblings-like, but as a man and woman romantically attached with one another.

"Rin?",his mother asked again, his lack of response had only worsen her worries.

"Nothing." He replied, gradually facing his mother, "Let's just continue eating."

"Are you sure?" , he nodded, "If you say so."

She changed her focus to the youngest Matsuoka sitting across her, and Rin could only listen halfway to their conversation; just the sound of utensils ringing to his ear and the food on his plate was all he could focus on.

Though his ears didn't fail to catch on her voice saying,

"We're all ready for this wedding, ne Sou-chan?"

Followed by a giggle beside her, then they were now staring at each other, smiling to one another like they were on their own world and Rin was not a part of it.

Most f*cking perfect couple.

Hah.

HA HA.

Not like he could claim it back, that place now owned by his best friend.

All he had to do now is be the 'supportive big brother' to his beloved little sister….

….even if it kills him inside.

Please be gentle with me, coz this would be the first time I'd ever write a multi-chap fic with plot.

Dedicated for this friend of mine who told me to, 'make them bleed.'

AND IT'S ALSO MAKING ME BLEED! GAAAAAAAAH!
