Can I still be stubborn for a little longer?

“Yuu-ni is surprisingly spoiled.”
Mahiru said it with a compassionate smile.
“Heh”
“Are all men like that? I’ve never had a boyfriend, so I don’t know.”
“Who knows.”
“He was shy at first, but gradually calmed down, and before I knew it, he was already sleeping.”
“Heh”
“Well, in the past we were just spoiled, so now it’s nice to have Yuu-nii be spoiled by us.”
“Heh”
“But really, I was really freaked out. He had been sticking to me like that for about an hour by then.”
“a?”
“My arms were just becoming so numb, and even more numb.”
“Heh”
“When he finally woke up, his face had turned bright red. It’s not like I’m a total stranger, so don’t get embarrassed by that now. In fact, weren’t we glued to him more in the past as well.”
“……You’re right.”
“Then, just in the nick of time, Auntie came in.”
“Heh”
“Then she said, 『This kind of reminds me of the old days.』to which Yuu-nii started stumbling in confusion was another sight to behold as well.
“Hahaha”
Behind the gym. Since we couldn’t secure a seat in the cafetaria, Miharu and I decided to have lunch here.
Both of us had bento today.
While sitting on the steps of the flower garden, we were enjoying a rather peaceful lunchtime together.
Butterflies are fluttering and the spring sun’s warmth felt pleasant.
By the way, Mahiru, in addition to the bento, she also ate side dish like bread and snacks.
So you are planning to grow them even bigger huh?
After getting over with my bento, I asked her straight up.
“By the way, it’s Mahiru”
I haven’t yet asked her about the most important thing.
“What is it?”
“Who initiated the hug in the first place?”
There was a momentary pause.
“eh? It was me, why?”
“Fu~un”
“And then you know —“
“It was me, why? THAT’S NOT IT RIGHT!”
The heck are you trying to shove that off as nothing, YOU DAMN OPPAI!
“eh?”
eh? The f—k.
“Huh? What is that? What do you even mean by all that? I don’t understand the situation at all over here though. Just how did you get in the position to hug Yuu-nii, then push him down, and share the same bed with him to sleep? If this isn’t what is known as being a s–ut, then what is it? DAMN YOU HO—Y Br—ts!”
“No, the one sleeping was Yuu-nii only, I was wide awake, trust me.”
“That’s not the point here!”
“Now, now, calm down. Look, you know umm, this had a deep back story behind it.”
Mahiru’s face becomes rather mysterious.
“deep back story?”
You wouldn’t say that it was my cle—age that was really deep now will you.
“Well, for the time being, I’ve got permission to talk about this to Mio and Ayaka, so I’ll tell you straight up–“
After which, Mahiru told her the horrifying incident that Yuu-nii went through, how he had been treated badly in Tokyo. Because of which, how he was traumatized by the ring tone on his cell phone, and everything she learnt about him that day.

I could barely stop from making the clenching sound of my teeth.
“Such a thing happened…”
“Un, even the person in question seemed to care a lot about that as well.”
“…”
“Cell phone ringtones mean nothing to us, who are living normally. Since, it’s just a matter of seconds for us. Yet, Yuu-nii underwent a type of living where he got started getting traumatized by the sound of it ringing…”
“so terrible”
“Right?”
Ah, maybe now I can really understand the feelings of the killer in the movie.
A dark feeling welled up in my chest.
So this is what it means by having their guts boiling in rage. I’m sure they’re referring to the feelings I’m going through right now.
“I can’t forgive you for torturing Yuu-nii.”
“I feel the same about that.”
“…”
Silence fell on the field.
“… Mahiru, I’m sorry. I, not knowing anything, and then, started feeling jealous about it.”
“It’s alright now.”
*futo
Suddenly, I felt something running down my cheek.
*pokari
Droplets of tears fell down and made such sound.
“E-h, arre?”
“Mio?”
“I–I’m sorry, I don’t know why?”
Tears just trickled down my cheeks. I put my palms to my eyes and wiped them, but it just wouldn’t stop.
Thinking that Mahiru and Yuu-nii already had already formed a relationship where they could share such worries with each other; I start feeling silly and crazy.
Sticking to my little pride, showing off my stubbornness… I — what was I even going on with all that.
“*Hiku, Gusu~”
Mahiru silently closed the distance and hugged my head.
Softly, my face was buried and wrapped in her big bo—ms.
So warm.
“What’s wrong now?”
Mahiru asks in a soft and compassionate voice.
“I, I… I’m worried that Yuu-nii and Mahiru will leave me and go on ahead… and became worried about that”
“A~ah”
“I got jealous and angry when I thought Mahiru was flirting with Yuu-nii, but again, both of you are such an important people to me… Uh, uh.”
“I’m sorry as well. Mio.”
“Fue?”
“When I said I’d help you before, I meant to boost Mio’s feelings and actions towards what she desired. I thought that, if I showed you that I am getting along with him like that, Mio will be forced to resolve her feelings and take initiative rather than being sloppy. … um, I thought that, such bewilderment to your feelings will help you, but it backfired.”
“…Resolved”
“I just want the four of us, I, Yuu-nii, Asaka, and Mio, to be together again.”
“me too”
Yes, just like how it was 10 years ago, if we four could get along together again. Just how much fun it would be.
But–
“Can I still be stubborn for a little longer?”
After all, I still have the feeling that I want him to realize that this is me.
I want to make him realize how much I’ve changed.
Mahiru gently stroked my head.
“It’s fine to work hard, but you have to think about the time when you must let go. If you keep being stubborn for long, even Mio will drop down.
“Un. I’m sorry, I wet your uniform.”
Miharu’s shirt got a little wet with my tears.
“It’s fine. Damn, I only have crybabies around me.”
Saying that, Mahiru laughed.
“We’re both the same age, but you’re more like a cute younger sister to me, so I will be rooting for you.”
“… even though I was the one to born first.”
“Don’t get stubborn and compete with me on that.”
