Snippet #1011337

Though a little taken aback by the severity of the girl’s shyness, Asai did his best to maintain as cheerful an expression as possible. He'd learned by this point in time that showing any surprise or confusion was the quickest way to stir unnecessary worry in girls of that type. Or so his experience with his painfully meek sister had told him. Though it was rather presumptuous of him to assume the girl anything like his sister simply from their shyness when he thought about it...

But, for the most part he ignored the thought, and simply grasped at his hiding sister's hand. With a slightly forceful pull, she appeared beside him, her face contorted in a mixture of embarrassment and shock. She’d trusted Asai not to drag her into it, even if in the back of her mind she had been waiting for the action.

“I’m Asai and this is-“ he briefly motioned towards the still flustered girl beside him, “-my sister Azami.” Expectantly he gazed over at Azami, a gaze to his eyes that read between the two for her to answer. He just kept pushing the girl to higher and higher levels of anxiety it seemed. Begrudgingly, and to avoid her brother actually telling her in words to say something, Azami murmured out a comment, “It’s n-nice to meet you.” Azami silently hoped that would be enough to satisfy her twin. The slight nudging of Asai’s foot against hers quickly dashed that dream. Sometimes it seemed Asai was actively trying to torment her...“I h-hope we’ll be g-good friends.”

It’s a bit eerie how similar they really are… Asai mused internally, barely stifling his laughter at the thought.
