Ch. 4: What I Am to Him (MOON)
Walking around the castle with Stimma, we went out into the courtyard…-
The blue of the sky had just started to blend into a faint vermilion.
The leaves and flowers were all tinged with a golden light.
OO: "It's a beautiful garden."
Stimma: "You think so? My brothers like it too!"
OO: "I imagine they would."
He's talking about them again.
A faint laugh escaped my lips.
I suddenly felt someone's gaze on me and looked up to see Stimma starring at me.
OO: "Stimma…?"
Stimma: "You're really cute when you laugh OO."
My heart started to pound a little at his gentle smile.
OO: "I-I'm not really…"
He lightly placed his warm hand on my head.
I felt my face start to heat up.
W-why is my heart beating so fast…
However…-
Stimma: "Like my brothers."
OO: "Eh…?"
The warm feeling in my chest quickly turned cold.
Like…his brothers…
I looked up and saw that the stars had started to come out.
