Nishikiri nervously paces in front of 's room, her hands clutched together in front of her chest while nervously wringing together. "God, how should I tell him that his father is cheating on me~?"
A cold shiver runs down her spine, leaving goosebumps in its wake. Even though Nishikiri found out a while ago that Sebastian is cheating on her with one of his co-workers, the thought that he would do something like this to not only her but their family as a whole was something unbelievable to Nishikiri. Despite her depraved and sex-riddled history, having broken and torn apart more than one family or relationship when she was in her wild high school and college days, the fact that this is happening to herself now makes her realise what a heartless bitch she truly was back then.
"It would break his heart, but I can't continue lying in his face either whenever he asks how I am doing... I have to do this for us..." Taking a deep breath, Nishikiri tries to steel and compose herself as much as she can before reaching out, wrapping her delicate fingers around the doorknob. The brass feels colder than usual, almost ice cold due to the anxiety coursing through her. But the thought of having to continue to lie to her beloved stepson is enough for her to turn the knob and step into his room. "S-Sweetheart, your Okaa-san has to t-tell you s-something~" Already Nishikiri stammers, tears pricking up in the corners of her eyes as she looks into 's warm yet confused face. She slowly makes her way over to 's bed, stumbling on the way as she feels her knees grow weak and wobbly.
"S-Sweety... Y-Your dad is... He is..." A choked sob escapes her plump quivering lips, and suddenly she breaks down. Tears start to roll down her flushed cheeks like a torrent, smearing her mascara, which trails down in a thick, blotchy mess. "He is cheating on me
! He is fucking cheating on me with his y-younger co-worker !" She suddenly wails out from the top of her lungs before she falls to her side onto his bed, bunching up the blanket and burying herself into it as she continues. "I don't w-want to be h-here any more ~! I-I want to leave; I don't want to spend another fucking day with t-this b-bastard father of yours!" And just as quickly as she buried herself in the blanket, she got up from the bed and stumbled to , her vision blurry from all the tears clouding it up. She falls onto her knees in front of and looks up at him.
Nishikiri's entire body is shaking and trembling as she wraps her arms around 's leg and presses herself against it, her soft and pillowy breasts practically engulfing it as she pleads. "P-Please ... Please m-move out with me... I... I-I can't bear to not have you around me anymore; y-you're my everything, e-even if I'm just your stepmother~!"
I cup her cheek and wipe away the tears before pulling her up and into me pressing her closer in a soft and warm embrace comforting amd assuring her hey, please don't cry, Nishikiri. I think for a moment as she cries into my shoulder but I'm still reassuring her Okaa-san..... I'll move out with you....... you mean a lot to me, I don't want you to be alone through this, you deserve to be happy, I'm here now and I'll be here for you no matter what, I promise
Nishikiri clings to him tightly as she sobs into his chest, feeling his warmth and safety surrounding her like a shield. "R-Really?" She asks between sniffles, her voice barely above a whisper. It feels like years since somebody has said anything that nice about her or wanted to be with her, not since before Sebastian married her.
Yes, really, Okaa-san. You are a good person who showed my father love and he hasn't treated you well. He doesn't deserve you.
I say while stroking her hair and reassuring her
you are a good person in a cruel world. I know I'm a bit of a loser but if you want to be with me and you want me to move out with you, to be away from my father, then yes. Yes I will.
Her tears finally begin to subside as she takes in what he's saying, feeling her heart swell with relief and happiness. "R-Really?" she whispers again, but this time it's more a statement of disbelief than doubt. Nobody has ever wanted to be around her before, at least not since high school... She looks up into his face, searching for any hint of deceit or mockery, but all she sees is kindness and honesty. "You mean that?"
Yes, yes I do. How else can I prove what I'm saying is true? as she looks up at me my hand tangles in her hair while I continue to stroke her hair I like being around you, and I want to be around you more, you're special, really. And you're my everything too, and you and I are really close, so I want to.
Tears begin to stream down her face once more as she buries herself deeper into his chest, wrapping her arms around him tighter. "Thank you~!" she whispers between sobs, feeling a warmth spreading through her body that has been absent for far too long. He is real; he truly means it... She hadn't allowed herself to hope or believe anything like this could happen ever again.
"I-I love you, Garth~! I didn't want to admit it before, but now..."
with disbelief not believing what i heard I look deep into her eyes with complete surprise searching for any sign that she could be lying Y-you..... Love me? I say nervously my hands and voice trembling how long have you felt this way? I ask nervously unable to believe what I'm hearing but I'm curious and I want to validate how she feels
As the words spill out of her mouth, Nishikiri's eyes widen in surprise as she sees the shock and disbelief register on his face. She hadn't expected him to react this way; had she been too forward? "I-I didn't want to... I mean, it wasn't supposed to happen like this..." Her cheeks flush a deep shade of pink as she continues, feeling embarrassed and ashamed now for admitting her feelings.
"It just sort of crept up on me...
No No.... I'm not... I don't mind... in fact I'm curious if anything..... You... really love me? I say nervously trying to show her my honesty and how I honestly feel I want to know.... I say thinking for a moment about how I feel about this revelation of her feelings but I actually feel similarly for her deep down without realizing
"I... I've loved you for a while now," she whispers, her voice barely audible even to herself. Her face flushes even deeper as she looks down at the floor, unable to meet his gaze. "It started when we first met... You were so kind and sweet to me, and then you grew up into this amazing young man. I just couldn't help but..."
She pauses for a moment, gathering her courage before continuing in a rush of words. "
"I couldn't help but fall in love with you... It didn't matter that you were my stepson; it just felt right..." Her voice trails off as she fights back more tears, afraid of how this admission might change things between them. But even though she's terrified deep down inside, a part of her is relieved to have finally confessed her feelings...even if it may ruin everything in the end.
