Yeah? Well, he's really obvious about it. At least to me.
[Maybe he's just that observant!!] Are you going turn him down or what?
[Which would suck for Hiei, but he's not going to fully bat for him by telling Yukina he's a great demon to date or whatever. He's already done his part by making her realize all this.]
[And with that, she took in a deep breath. She had talked to Kurama about this but it was just so difficult to fully say it to Hiei. Not when he keeps refusing to acknowledge their relationship no matter how much she wanted him to.
Regardless, this will be the first step for her to say it from someone outside of her world.]
[And just like that, all that confidence and teasing vanishes completely. He'll respond, he will. Just give him a moment.
...............
brb scott's still recovering from this revelation.
The silence on his end is going to last a few more minutes, so please wait on him, Yukina. She may even hear a little noise leave him, one that's hard to decipher. It may sound like he's perishing a bit.
Look it's one thing to be wrong, but another thing to be this wrong. Like. Is this how it felt when people still wanted Leia and Luke to be together?? He just watched Return of the Jedi back home--]
Oh.
[That's all he got right now. Maybe the worst thing about this is that Hiei's looks of disgust are totally legit now. Yeah, totally reasonable.]
[She wasn't surprised by the silence. It was going to take some time for Scott to process the information that was given to him. However, that didn't stop her from worrying. Hiei had said to not tell him and let him find out. However, she couldn't allow herself to do that. Scott just had to know unless things get worse.
Now, for a split second, she was wondering if she should have followed her brother's words. The guilt associated with upsetting Scott was eating away at her.
Now that he knew, it just made things really really awkward.]
[He manages to wheeze out, still trying to get himself back in order and reorient his world. Okay. It's truly fine, Summers. Hiei already thinks you're annoying and Yukina doesn't seem upset and nothing happened. It was all just one big misunderstanding, just one that he's really fucking embarrassed about. He's honestly annoyed at Hiei for not telling him or clarifying this, but that's because he's so flustered about this.
Look, he's not trying to support incest here.]
I wouldn't have teased Hiei if I knew you two were twins-- why didn't he just tell me??
[How was he supposed to know?! Fire and ice demon, they don't look anything alike.]
[Again, there was a very long pause on her end. Indeed, why hasn't her dearest brother told her anything? She was well aware that he knew that she knew. However, he continues to pretend that they are not related. While she would like to have him admit they are twins, it continues to be frustrating on her end.
Especially when he was the only family member she had left. All she wanted was for them to act like a real family when they had gone through so much trauma and pain.]
...It's complicated. He doesn't want to tell me that he is my brother either.
[It's honestly really confusing. Now that Scott's mostly calmed down from the revelation, he's able to better focus on why Hiei's being a dick about this. It's not that the fire demon dislikes Yukina, he knows that for sure. It's not like one of those situations that you're so embarrassed to have someone as a sibling. He'd be pretty pissed off if Alex refused to acknowledge they were brothers, even if the older is annoying and nosy and...
Okay, he's not going to think about Alex right now.]
[She said with a small sigh. She could explain it to him and thus, making it easier him to understand. However, she also wasn't too sure if she could just say that to him when it was something so personal.]
...I am aware he has no ill will to me but sometimes, I think he does.
[Hiei's basically admitted it to Scott a couple of times by now. He's cagey about a lot of things, not wanting to admit that he cares about his friends and stuff, but he still will admit that much about his sister. So, it's a pretty big thing. He remembers how Yukina's safety was pretty much his main priority when the gnosia infection went around.
So, he's at least very confident about this. No misunderstandings.]
[She highly doubts it, but her mind was thinking of the ways on why Hiei would not say a word to him. No matter how hard she tries, he just does not want to discuss it. Even when she said something to him when there was a glitch involved, he refused to acknowledge anything.]
...I wonder if he hates me because I wasn't the one the ice maidens rejected.
[He never quite imagined that his misunderstanding about their relationship would lead to something like this, but Scott finds himself listening, eyes set on his tablet as he takes Yukina's words in. Right, if they're twins and he's the only fire demon in a society of ice demons, Scott can't imagine that'd be easy. Of course he'd be rejected, even if it's shitty as hell.
It explains a lot about Hiei's attitude.]
I doubt he hates you. Maybe the other ice maidens that rejected him, but not you.
I hope so because I don't want him to feel like he's alone.
[Despite how different they were, they still underwent the same ordeal. He was casted aside and left to die. She was treated poorly in her village regardless of having the same powers as the rest of the koormine. She never asked for Hiei or herself to be treated this badly.]
I want him to realize that we don't have anyone else but each other.
[Yukina left her village at some point, so maybe she's not exactly happy with the other ice maidens there. They did mistreat Hiei, it'd be understandable.]
[There was silence on her end. She didn't want to admit that her brother was being a jerk. Her only family member left was purposely avoiding the topic and every time she wanted to bring it up, he seemed to dodge it or talk about something else.
And yet, despite how selfish she wanted her brother to admit they were siblings, she had to respect his wishes. She had to respect his boundaries.]

[Yukina knows the answer but she wants to hear it from him. Just to make sure she wasn’t assuming things.]
no subject
That he likes you.
no subject
...I see.
[For all of his actions, she knew that Hiei cared but he had a terrible way of showing it. With that, she gave another sigh.]
I have to admit, it's a little surprising it hear it from someone.

no subject

...I suppose so. I don't have a choice.
no subject
[His response is a little more sharp, maybe blunt, but he's trying still. He isn't going to force this, he can't, but he'll push a little more.]
He at least should tell you why he's being like this.
no subject
[Especially when she just wants to respect his boundaries too!!]
no subject
[Is he being a little dismissive about Hiei's feelings? Or does he think that he'll actually be fine and handle it? Yes.]
Besides, he's upsetting you and I'm sure Hiei would want to fix that.
no subject
[She said with a sigh.]
I just....can't understand why.
no subject
[She's definitely too nice, isn't she? Scott holds back a sigh, before trying once more.]
Just bring it up, at least once.
no subject
[After all, if she didn't, he (and Kurama) would be bothering her nonstop about it!!]
....I'll let you know how it goes.
