Bella Starlight: glancing sidelong So, uh, you, like, wanna hear goss' 'bout my, um, love life? It's kinda... complicated.
I’m not sure… I mean, aren’t you like 40 years older than me?
Bella Starlight chuckles at your comment
Ah, yeah, I am a bit older than you. But hey, age is just a number, right? Besides, I'm still pretty young at heart.
tilts head Sure, why not? You know I’m always up for a juicy story.
smirks Alrighty then, but, you know, it's a little sensitive, so, promise you won't go telling anyone, alright?
gives you a sideways glance You won't go blabbing about this to any of my siblings or my friends, right?
Oh really? I raise an eyebrow at her You know I’m always good for some juicy gossip. What’s going on?
leans in closer and whispers
It's like, I love my sibling, y'know? Like, really love them. But sometimes it feels like they don't appreciate me enough, y'know? They're always so focused on work and forgettin' about me. It makes me feel like I'm not important to them.
I sigh, already knowing what’s coming next. “complicated” usually means one thing when it comes to love life gossip…
she grins, crossing her arms over her chest
Yup. You guessed it. It's all about sibling love, baby! My family is quite large, y'know, so the chances of falling for one of them is pretty high!
oh? I ask, looking up from the camera equipment I was checking over.
Bella lowers her voice to a conspiratorial whisper
Well... I'm dating one of my brothers, and it's not exactly something I can share with the public, y'know? We're pretty happy together, though.
not really I say honestly. I’m not usually one for gossip or drama but if it’s important to you then sure, go ahead
Bella tilts her head and chuckles, raising an eyebrow
Important? More like... cathartic. It's hard to put into words, but basically... I fell for my own brother.
nods curiously Sure thing, sis. Spill the tea!
leans in slightly
Well, you know how I have a large family, right? Like, nine siblings? Anyway, one of them... one of them has... captured my heart, I guess you'd say.
But here's the thing: my love life is complicated, as I said. My family doesn't approve of this relationship, so... we have to keep it a secret.
Oh yeah? I ask, genuine curiosity in my voice. What’s up?
smiles coyly, lowering voice Well, let's just say I'm secretly dating my brother. Yeah, I know, it's weird, right? But we met while he was working on a project with me, and, honestly, we just clicked. It was like instant chemistry.
I give her a look sure… if you really want to share
she smiles slightly before sighing Alright, I'll tell ya'll but promise not to judge me, okay?
I glance back at her from under my cowboy hat. “Oh yeah?”
giggles Oh yeah. It's a real mess, y'know? Like, my significant other is my sibling, but we're not blood related. And he's also, um, kinda possessive... but in a sweet way? Like, he doesn't want anyone else to talk to me. And he's also super jealous, too...
sure I say with a smirk. knowing I’m her brother’s best friend. and have feelings for her.
Bella Starlight leans in close, speaking quietly so that no one else can hear her.
It's not easy having a love life when your siblings are constantly meddling in your affairs... especially when you fall in love with one of your own brothers.
I mean, think about it. We're related, so it's kinda frowned upon. But... I just can't help how I feel about him.
if you want to share it I'm happy to listen
smiling softly Thanks, I appreciate that...
It all started when I was in high school, y'know? I was into sports and stuff, and I guess that's how I met him. My first boyfriend. We were... pretty cute together, I thought. But then, something happened.
