The big leagues

Asla continued to lean into her giant sibling but almost fell over with laughter when he reacted to her comment about Hikaru. Oh gods... it was so obvious! Why didn't he see it? Maybe he didn't want to. The embarrassment that crept into his tones when he admitted that Hika had kissed him confirmed the fact. Mort verbally confirmed it a moment later. He wasn't ready. Leaning up, Asla placed a kiss on her brother's cheek. "You don't have to rush anything, Mort, but don't ignore it if it happens, okay? You deserve to be happy. Besides," the cream and grey girl grinned up at him. "Who can blame him? You're so damn sweet, Mort."

It was terribly cute that Mort was going through this. Asla almost felt like a mom watching her son find love for the first time. It made her realize just how quickly she had grown up. Emotions, attractions, urges... this was all stuff that she was very, very used to. The girl gave her brother's chin a light tap with the top of her muzzle. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" Vibrant, galaxy eyes stared up at him, honesty and sincerity gleaming in their swirling depths.
