“littlest sister, bottling up your emotions only ever ends negatively,” zaire stated. “even if it is something unchangeable, talking about it can help immensely.”

“and letting your emotions and thoughts out only ever subjects you to ridicule,” helix replied, though she knew he was right. when she was younger, if she ever had a problem, she would go to her siblings or her mother. that had always helped.

His eyes widened even further. “Huh. Wow. Don’t I feel kind of stupid.” He said and ran a hand through his hair. “Um… since you’re her sister, I should go ahead and tell you. The girl that unknowingly has my heart… is your sister.” He admitted, his blush evident on his face.

“why? it might be obvious now that you know, but you’re not the first who hasn’t picked up on us being related just by seeing us, you know. we’re different people,” she said. his confession didn’t surprise her in the slightest. “then i can tell you with even more confidence that ada won’t see you badly if you tell her how you feel. it’s likely that she’ll be surprised, perhaps a little embarrassed, but also flattered.”

zaire bunched his lips at one side, in thought. “i suppose you do, but … you are allowed to let things bother you, littlest sister. it is perfectly okay if something does. it is perfectly normal.”

helix shrugged noncommittally. “i know i can. i just... don’t anymore. it’s easier that way,” she said. “i figured there was no point getting emotional about something that i couldn’t change.”

He blinked and widened his eyes slightly. “Wait. Do you know Ada?” He asked wondering if he was actually talking to one of her family members. He slowly nodded his head and took a deep breath. “You’re right. Thanks.” He smiled at her.

“of course, she’s my big sister.” she paused. “well, not big physically, but you understand what i’m saying.” it didn’t matter if helix was younger. she would most likely always be taller than ada. “you’re welcome.”

Ronnie scrunched up his forehead. “Um, are you not human?” He paused and slowly nodded her head. “Yeah, you’re right.” He sighed. “It actually scares me that she’ll reject my feelings… and I will shut up about my feelings because I’m sure I am boring you, and you don’t want to hear it, right?”

“i’m a beldam,” she answered casually before returning to the topic at hand. “i don’t mind you telling me either way. i have nothing better to do, but being scared can’t stop you from doing what you need to do.”

✧—* » ( @hcliix said: ❛❛ I’m indifferent to cheerios. ❜❜ )

“Indifferent as in ‘I have better cereal to be eating’ or indifferent as in ‘I can’t care about anything, especially cereal’?” she asked, trying to tease her little sister. She even made a playful display of eating a spoonful of the cereal.

“...both. there are better cereals, but it’s not a big deal,” she said, taking a spoonful of her own cereal and holding it up so she was eye-level with it. “what’s the point of making them circles like this?”

[hcliix]

zairc:

“i mean, it doesn’t make things okay, but …” he sighed. “people are just like that, i suppose. — but, yeah, no big deal, really … unless it bothers you or something, of course. in which case, yes big deal.”

“they are, they very much are.” she knew that for a fact. acting indifferent to it was how she coped. “it doesn’t bother me. not anymore, at least. you live and you learn.”

[hcliix]

wannabe-cowboy-ronnie:

He paused at her question. “I don’t think so, but I do feel like she would act differently around me, and I don’t want that.”

helix sighed. “humans make things so complicated,” she muttered. “but you won’t know unless you try, right? “

( @hcliix said:  ❛❛ If I had feelings, I’d be offended. ❜❜ )

“don’t be, it’s no big deal, really,” he assured, offering a small smile. “she’s like that with everyone. i think it roots from a bad childhood or something, but …” he shrugged. “it’s nothing personal, i’m sure.”

“that hardly makes things okay, but i’m used to it,” she said, tone a little flippant. “and like you said, it’s no big deal. and it’s also not my problem.”

[hcliix]

wannabe-cowboy-ronnie:

He frowned slightly at her words not sure if that was a compliment or not. “I don’t want to make her uncomfortable. I don’t want to risk our friendship if she doesn’t feel the same way.”

“that would depend on the type of person she is, wouldn’t it? is she the type of person who would stop being friends with you if she didn’t feel the same way?” she said.

His eyes widened, and he blinked before answering her question. “Uh, no. I’m sorry if it seemed that way. You are beautiful, but to be honest, my heart already belongs to someone else. I don’t think she’s aware of it, though.” He admitted a bit sheepishly.

“good, because you would be completely intolerable if you were,” she said. “if she isn’t aware of it, then why don’t you just tell her?”

Tanith beamed and reached into his bag, inside were what looked like caramel apples, instead, they were caramelized onions. Tanith knew that sometimes Buttercup couldn’t resist a sweet treat even if it mde her a bit sick. “They’re caramel onions.” He said after showing the container to her.

helix peered into the container, eyeing the contents. she’d never seen anything like the ‘treats’ in front of her before. “caramel onions? so... you give them to someone and they eat them thinking they’re... caramel apples?” she asked slowly.

“ why does autocorrect want my whole name? does autocorrect want to get married. ” (helix!) @hcliix

Ronnie scrunched up his forehead and laughed at her words. “I think autocorrect is just being stupid. It’s weird. It helps like maybe 25% of the time to be honest. The other 75% doesn’t know the word you actually want.” He shook his head. “But for all I know maybe it does. You are a beautiful girl after all.”

helix frowned at the phone. she didn’t understand this modern technology business at all. she only looked up when the boy complimented her, unsure how to respond. was this a trick? “...are you flirting with me?” she asked, eyes narrowed.

[hcliix]

tanith-kang:

Tanith nodded, “They can be fun if the person you’re pranking knows it’s all in good spirit and not malicious in intent.” He explained and sat down by the wall near Buttercup’s dorm. He couldn’t imagine performing the pranks his father used to perform. The cruel acts on unsuspecting individuals. “Its a pleasure to meet you too.”

“so it’s all about the intentions. that would explain it.” as far as she could tell, he didn’t appear to be pulling any off-colour pranks, but he could still prove her wrong. perhaps she was just overly sensitive. “and what were you planning to do to this... whoever you were looking for?”

“Doll clothes?” she repeated, scrunching up her nose a little as she did so. “I never had any dolls growing up. Mom couldn’t stand them.” she replied casually. Addie didn’t seem to mind though, she preferred getting dirty as opposed to playing with dolls anyway. 

helix quelled the offence she felt at the girl’s expression. “mine was the opposite. she loves them. i have plenty.” though her collection was only partially due to her mother. she loved dolls because they’d helped her feel less lonely. “and the sewing keeps me busy.”
