Chapter 18: Grayfia nodded

"Leo I truly enjoyed the day…thank you" Sona said in an extremely low tone.

"I am glad you had fun" replied Leo.

Soon the two reached the dorms as the sky was dyed in orange. "We are back!!" said the two as they made their way to the living room.

Seeing Grayfia, Leo gave her nod and said "We brought some cake for everyone please call them" Grayfia nodded as she called everyone while Sona helped Leo to set the plates.

As everyone got to dining table seeing Leo and Sona setting up the table they all had one thought 'They look like married couple'

"Oh!…come on everyone get seated" Leo said noticing the group.

As everyone got seated and were about to take a bite of the cake Leo said "Sona made it so I hope you'll like it" hearing him everyone visibly froze as sweat dripped down their forehead.

Seeing their reaction Leo started laughing as Sona glared at them and said "I know I was bad at baking before but this time it tastes really good…humph!" as she pouted and looked away.

Hearing her everyone looked at Leo who nodded as they slowly took a bite albeit fearfully as the anticipated bitterness didn't come instead a sweet taste filled their mouth they looked surprised as it tasted genuinely good. Seeing their reaction Sona puffed her chest in pride.

As everyone started to enjoy the cake.

Soon Serafall arrived huffing as her powers were still sealed she entered the living room and looked at the empty plate of cake and fell on the couch sad she couldn't taste the cake her So-tan made, slowly getting she walked to her room in a depressed state.

Seeing that all girls had a confused face while Leo nudged Sona with his elbow seeing his look she understood what he meant nodding she got up as Leo handed her two pieces of cake taking them Sona went to Serafall's room.

Everyone looked at Leo for answers, "Don't worry…also don't disturb them" Saying he looked at everyone as he said goodbye and left. While the girls though didn't understand what he meant they decided to not bother Sona and Serafall for the rest of the day.

knock knock "Onee-san can I come in" said Sona, hearing no reply she sighed pushing the door open.

Sister's Bonding

"Onee-sama…" Sona was interrupted as Serafall hugged her tightly. Normally she would have avoided it but the talk she had with Leo had made her understand things she couldn't realize before.

So she just sighed as Serafall held her tightly.

"Onee-sama can we talk…" said Sona while Serafall nodded absentmindedly as she was surprised Sona didn't avoid her like always.

Getting seated on the bed the two looked at each other for a while then Sona gave Serafall a bow as she said "I-I am sorry nee-san…I always hurt your feelings and couldn't talk to you openly because of my embarrassment" she meant her words she always wanted to get closer to her big sister but her personality made it difficult for her to do that.

Serafall was once again shocked as she never thought she would have such conversation with Sona.

"N-No you don't have to apologise So-tan…ev-even I never realized my behaviour might have made you embarrassed…I am sorry for that" Serafall said as she held Sona to prevent her from bowing.

"I guess we both were somewhat at fault then" saying Sona gave a small laugh as she remembered Leo's words.

Serafall dumbfoundedly nodded as she never thought she would have such time with her dear So-tan but was happy nonetheless.

"Umm…So-tan?" Serafall wanted know what led Sona to have this talk not that she was complaining after all she always wanted to get closer to Sona.

Understanding her Sona looked at her and said "Leo. .

. "

"Huh!?" Serafall was confused as how he was involved she was still upset at him for what he did to her during his date with Sona.

"…He…"

-[Flashback to when Leo and Sona were on their way to the dorms]-

Taking a turn Leo drove towards a small hill as the two reached atop getting down they stood at the edge of the cliff looking over the Kuoh town as the sky slowly took an orange hue.

"How is it?" Leo asked looking at Sona.

"It's beautiful" Sona said looking at the scene before her. "Indeed…though not as beautiful as your smile" Leo said cheekily making her blush.

"Say Sona why do you always avoid or be so harsh at Serafall" Leo asked.

Sona was surprised at sudden question as she looked at Leo with a complicated look she always wanted to be closer to her sister but she couldn't for some reason.

Seeing her look Leo walked up to her and flicked her forehead as Sona glared at him.

"You know it is a blessing to have a sister like her…I could see she would go to any lengths if it is to protect you even if it means to harm herself…you need to realize that Sona…you always have that strict cold persona around you and I like that but you also need to know that you should show your warm side to people who care for you just because it could be embarrassing don't avoid them like that…you may not realize it yet but tell me what would it be like if one day Serafall disappears and never returns…" Leo said as he looked at Sona.

Hearing his words Sona couldn't retort since everything he said was true even if she didn't want to accept it…it was true in the end. Though the words that affected her the most were when he said about Serafall disappearing and not returning.

Just thinking about it made her heart ache as unconsciously tears flowed down her cheek.

Leo sighed as he brought her closer and wiped her tears with his thumb and hugged her calming her down.

"Listen Sona you may never know what happens in future now that Serafall is staying with you for a while try and open up to her…I don't have a family I know what
