Sona Sitri
Engaged to a Phoenix
Confused to the Max
"Sona you can't keep avoiding him you know", this is becoming a daily phrase thrown around by both Tsubaki and Momo. I know their right but how do i face him. Not only is he technically my fiancee but am i even worthy to stand by his side? The last real Phoenix? This pressure i feel is so much more than beimg the heiress of the Sitri family. But if i keep avoiding him he'll think i hate him. I look up at my two peerage members when a Sitri teleportation circle comes in.
"SO-TAN GUESS WHO'S HERE TO VISIT HER FAVORITE LITTLE SISTER!!" Oh goodness she's the last person i need coming in. Tsubaki and Momo made themselves scarce when Sera and a unknown purple haired girl comes walking in. I lock eyes with my sister and immediately her demeanor changed. "Whats wrong Sona i haven't seen that look since you first heard of your engagement."
Damn, i hate how attentive she is. Ive never been able to hide anything from her. So i take a deep breath and i tell her about the chess tournament, how we grew close, his identity, and my current thoughts on the matter. And contrary to my expectations she just took a deep sigh and said "So he told you? Well thats a weight off my shoulders."
My eyes widened in disbelief. She knew? he told her before me? My mind is throw into disarray and my sister catches it instantly and begins her explanation from Tannin and Tia to Ingvild to his requesting to keep his identity secret.
I can't say im not touched, he had the chance to claim Ingvild for his little group but he still prioritized me. Ugh am i bad for ignoring him? What should i do? How should i make it up to him? When all of a sudden i feel my sister press my head into her chest as she holds me and i just let go.
All my frustrations, all my stress, it all just releases in the arms of my big sister. Ingvild sat there silently watching our interactions and i feel embarrassed but i know how busy Sera is. She's in charge of making sure every other faction doesnt hate us due to the actions of strays. And with all the stray devils running amok after the War, its a full time job.
"Onee-san what if im not good enough? He's a pure Phoenix with unlimited potential, and even his maids are as strong as i am? Am i even worthy being engaged to-" but that whole train of thought is derailed but a sharp slap to the face.
I stood there in shock looking at Sera unable to meet the cold look in her eyes as she starts speaking "The sister i love and cherished. The Sona who stood against the entire 72 pillars and dared them to beat you in chess for your hand, the Sona who held her head high as others laughed at your dream. Even when they mocked you, teased you, and said you disgraced the Sitri name with your ideals. When have you ever cared about what others think. So what if hes a Phoenix, youre you. And if he doesnt see your worth ill castrate him myself."
I see Ingvild stare in shock at the interaction and for the first time in 2 years i laughed. What was i worried about. I have time to grow, time to achieve my dreams. Its time to stop hiding my feelings, if the future head mistress of the first inter-faction academy isnt worth him then i think i'll join my sister in castrating the bastard who stole my engagement.
"Thank you Sera-nee." i hug my sister and i feel the warmth of her hug as a knock comes in on the door. "I believe that's my cue to get back to work. Sera if you have some time, would you like to watch the new Season of Sailor Moon with me this weekend?"
With a giant blooming smile on her face Sera agrees and teleports out. Turning to my new peerage i finally introduce myself "Ingvild right? Im sorry for the display but if you'll have me I'll be delighted to have you as my Bishop." She smiled and told me how she'd be deighted. I was going to respond when the door opened and HE stepped in.
"Um is now a bad time? I really need to talk to you Sona." Ingvild looks at me ans then wishes me luck before going into the hall to join Tsubaki and Momo. "Look Sona i know o shouldve-"
"Please wait Hibari-san, i have something to explain first." I take a deep breathe and begjn to explain to him my position and how i got out of my engagement and how since i lost and Serafall witnessed it that technically made him my fiancee, but if he didnt want to marry me then i understood.
I waited with a baited breath before he begins to laugh and with a scowl on my face I was about to reprinand him, when i suddenly felt his arms on my waist and his finger on my chin tilting me upwards. "Just know as the last Phoenix i have a duty to bring our race back from extinction, so if you choose me you might not be the only one. I won't spout love you all the same bullshit because there will be times when i have favorites and you are all different women. But as long as you'll have me, then I Hibari Kyouya the last Phoenix promises you that I'd burn the world to Ashes for you."
It brought a smile to my face that i didnt notice when he leaned in and next thing i knew our lips were locking. I was so entraced by having my first kiss that i failed to notice Sera in the corner with my peerage until the camera flash captures my attention.
Breaking the kiss we look at the giggling gaggle of girls before i shout "NEE-SAN DELETE THAT NOW!!"
"Oh is my Sona so ashamed of being seen with me?" Kyouya teases
"No it's not that Kyouya its just.."
"So-tan i didnt know you guys were already on a first name basis?? I want a niece already so hurry up and announce your engagement to the Mom and Dad at least."
I just turn flushed red before Tsubaki chimes in "Dont worry Sera-sama i already sent the picture directly to Lord and Lady Sitri." In that moment i felt everything around me come crashing down when my parents teleports directly in the room and starts a barrage of questions. Ughhh
"Is this the best time to say i need you to transfer in two students with questionable origins."
This is gonna be a long engagement.
