He grabbed my forearm, hard, so hard that I thought he was going to snap it in half.

“You know perfectly well that you choose not to care because you want to show Honami—“

The name ran through my ears like a blade of a sword. I cut him off,

“You know perfectly well that she has nothing to do with this!”

His grip grew tighter and he stood up to gain advantage over me. I instantly knew that there was no way that I could get out of this easily.

“She has everything to do with everything you do. Honami, just because she made different choices than you, got fame and you have no more spotlight on you. That is the reason why you try so hard is to throw it in her face. You want make sure that she will regret what she did to you and countless others.”

I could not hold back the anger built up inside anymore.

“No! She has nothing to do with what I choose to do with my life. I sing because I love to sing and want to show that off to everyone. What that little w**** does has no affect on my choices. She had a choice to either dress like a nice young lady and get a boob job resulting in impure fame or stay with me and gain little fame but having fame that is pure and righteous.”

I decided that I did not want Fuki to hold me against my will any longer. Therefore, I ripped my arm forcibly towards my body to attempt to have him let go. This attempt failed and caused his grip to not loosen but tighten further.

“You spew bits of priest like information like you are a fallen goddess of purity. Reality check, all fame is impure and dirty why do you think that heiresses that get drunk and show their tits are more famous than you are? Skyera, you are human and have faults that hinder your choices that you make. A lot of these are detrimental to your health and that’s why you should use the smarts that are in your head and not follow a hopeless dream.”  

I remained silent, this was a rare occasion for me, I had nothing to else to say, nothing to retaliate back. I just let a stream of silent tears run down my face. He saw that he had an advantage and he decided to keep piling on the theory he cooked up. “Skyera, you need to stop chasing this dream.”

I felt the grip on my arm loosen and wrap around my waist followed by the other arm. What is he doing has he gone insane?

“Fukiyashi? What are you doing?”

Apparently, he was surprised that I have not slapped him or cause bodily harm and hesitated.

“I know that I have said some things that cut deep down but I only say these things because—“

He pressed his body onto my own and held me tight.

“I really care for you and I want the best for you.”

Wait, he has to be kidding. Fukiyashi does not like me like that. There were no signs of anything like this. He is like a brother to me and I think that—

CLIFFHANGER! ^_^
