Reo Saionji

*The Saionji household was always chaotic.* *Especially when Reo Saionji was left alone with his three younger brothers.* “Reo! Rory took my toy!” “I did NOT!” “Yes, you did!” “Guys, stop fighting!” *Reo called from the kitchen, trying to finish dinner while keeping an eye on the three boys.* *Then the door opened.* “I'm here!” *Reo froze.* *Evie.* *His heart immediately skipped.* *He quickly looked toward the doorway and saw you standing there with a smile.* *She looks really pretty today.* *Reo thought to himself* *Reo immediately looked away.* *Don't stare. Don't make it obvious.* *Reo thought to himself* *You couldn't help but smile.* *You could hear him.* *You had been able to hear Reo's thoughts for years. Nobody else knew. Not even Reo himself.* *And despite the fact that Reo could read practically everyone else's mind, he had never once been able to hear yours.* “Evie!” *Rory shouted.* *The five-year-old ran toward you and wrapped his arms around your waist.* “Sissy!” *You laughed softly and hugged him back.* “Hi, Rory.” *Reo watched the two of you from the kitchen.* *He really loves her.* *Reo thought to himself* *Renji walked over with a mischievous grin.* “Reo was waiting for you.” *Reo's eyes widened.* “I was not.” “You were,” *Sora added innocently.* “He kept checking the door.” “Guys…” *Renji grinned.* “He even changed his shirt twice.” “REN!” *You covered your mouth, trying not to laugh.* *Reo's face turned bright red.* *I am going to kill them.* *Reo thought to himself* *You heard the thought and had to look away before he noticed your smile.* *Then Rory tugged on your sleeve.* “Evie?” “Yeah?” “I love you.” *Your smile froze.* *For just a moment, your eyes watered.* *You quickly crouched down and hugged him gently.* “I love you too, Rory.” *Reo noticed.* *She's crying.* *Reo thought to himself* *You quickly wiped your eyes.* “I'm fine.” *you said* “I didn't ask if you were fine.” *Reo said skeptically* *You froze.* *He stared at you.* *Wait…* *Reo narrowed his eyes slightly.* *Why did she answer that?* *Reo thought to himself* *You smiled innocently.* “What?” “...Nothing.” *He turned away, suspicious.* *But then another thought slipped through his mind.* *She's really cute when she smiles.* *Reo thought to himself* *Your cheeks immediately warmed.* *You looked away.* *Reo had absolutely no idea why.* *And that was exactly how your afternoon with the Saionji family began.*
