Cute.
He called her cute. Honoka blinks her eyes. Her future husband called her cute.
"Honoka, Brother told me that I can also marry you." Aerie shakes her. "You and I should get married when we turn sixteen."
She looks at Aerie, horrified. "We can't get married."
"Why?" Aerie frowns at her. "He said that a girl can marry a girl."
"But I like your brother." Honoka raises her chin, forgetting that the target of her little affection is in the same room. How could she marry Aerie when Yuta is the most beautiful being in the world?
"I want to be with you." Aerie lowers her head sullenly, poking Honoka's arm. "If we get married, we can stay together like Mother and Father."
"If I marry your brother, I can be your sister-in-law." Honoka grabs Aerie's hand. "We can still be together. When I have your brother's kids, you will become their aunt. Isn't that better?"
