TALK ABOUT YOSHIKI'S SISTER AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HER PLS,,
Oh boy, okay. You’ll have to excuse my shit ability to recap things. This ended up turning out more like a timeline of their family life than actual relationship stuff. From the time she was born, Yoshiki adored her. Because he was always a “problem child” in his father’s eyes (often for things that would very well be considered normal behavior for someone at that age), he was constantly reprimanded and put down. Having a little sister meant he had someone depending on him, looking up to him – and he could be the figure he never had for himself. He subconsciously made it his resolution to always be there for her, no matter what. As he got older, she became sort of an anchor for him. Miki idolized him - a typical behavior of a younger sibling - and as time went on, she’d picked up quite a few of his habits, some less desirable than others. Yoshiki was held responsible for this, of course, and was regarded as a bad influence by their father.
During what could probably be considered Yoshiki’s lowest point (behavior-wise) prior to getting disowned, he’d grown distant towards her: him being so involved in his ‘new life’ that he’d carried his rough persona home with him. The friendly, often childish interactions they had; he felt it below him. That is, until he’d gotten disowned. Whatever inflated ego he’d gotten was completely knocked out of him, and it was then he became conscious of how he’d been treating her. It was too late then, of course - no sooner had he’d gotten both feet out the door, Miki was forbidden to contact Yoshiki by their father. A considerable amount of time went by before he reached out to her. When he did, he apologized for both his actions and the way he’d been treating her.
While Miki understood the reason why he’d been thrown out, she still felt horrible on his behalf, which made it impossible to hold a grudge. From that point on they kept in contact secretly - first by phone, then eventually meeting up in person. At some point their mother became aware of this and, to show support the only way she could, she would give fake alibis as to where Miki was (if inquired by their father) and prepare lunches for her to bring to him.
Once Yoshiki got his own apartment, she made it a point to visit once to several times a week to help him get settled in, bring groceries - things like that. And that continues to present time.She’s like a mother hen in the way she’s constantly trying to make sure he’s eating enough, sleeping enough, so on and so forth. He’d spent his younger years vowing to take care her; now she takes care of him. And he doesn’t think he’d be doing too well surviving on his own if it wasn’t for her.
Thanks to growing up with the projected personality of the quiet, obedient girl their father desired and from the simple fact she’s Yoshiki sister, she has an impeccable ability to play both sides of the coin. They’ve had many instances of tag-teaming to play a joke on somebody, or stealing some candy together. Their interactions usually involve some friendly banter and some noogies, but their overall relationship is pure and healthy.
- Yoshiki obviously had no way to take more than a couple items with him when he was initially kicked out. Once he got his own place, Miki would loot his room and secretly bring him his stuff when their father wasn’t home.
- Miki was the one to teach him how to cook. (His ability to coat anything in flour and breadcrumbs and flour and throw it in a pan was really the only thing that stuck.)
- Yoshiki always makes the best effort he can to attend all of Miki’s tennis matches. If you listen closely, you can hear him shamelessly bragging on her. Ie., “that’s my little sister right there!”
