Counting Stars (NANBAKA X Reader)

Chapter 20

Just as Kat said, (Y/n) was accepted into NASA and was studying there for the time being to become an astronaut. Once she was done studying, she would go into training to become an astronaut. If she passed, she would go to space. Kat took good care of (Y/n) and celebrated Akira's birthday when it came. Kat didn't do anything off. In fact, everything her mother said was the complete opposite of what Kat really is like. Kat was able to convince Akira's parents to allow Akira to live with her. 

Kat was nice, gentle; she never yelled; Kat is always there to help when there was a problem. She didn't come off as selfish and always listened to (Y/n) when she rambled on about space. Kat would even come out with (Y/n) most nights to look at the stars if she wasn't busy. (Y/n) never had to run errands. And she got (Y/n) and Akira new clothes and them new things at least once a month. 

It has been four months since that day at the prison. (Y/n) was know 17, and Akira was 18. Kat was helping Akira to find a place to live that was nice but cheat. Kat even offered to helped Akira pay for rent until Akira got a decent job. Kat was welcoming, and nothing of what (Y/n)'s mother described. Like, at all!! 

(Y/n) was told Kat was selfish and only looked out for herself. She was jealous of almost everyone she met and made people feel sorry for her. She lies all the time and is lazy. She is two-faced and hates helping people unless it benefits her. But, for the four months (Y/n) has been here, never once did Kat act that way. 

"Kat, maybe you should take a break" (Y/n) said as Kat was cooking dinner for that. 

"Yeah, you have been doing everything you can to help us. Let us help you," Akira said. 

"Oh, it's fine," Kat said, turning to the two younger girls that sat on the couch. Akira watched Gravity Falls as (Y/n) was reading a book about the different types of stars and was asked to remember everything about them and their formal names. She was then told to remember all the Nebula's and what a Nebula is made out of. (Y/n) knew most of the information, but she didn't understand somethings completely about stars, and she didn't know all the Nebula's formal names. She was to take a test on it in a month. 

"And I haven't seen your face out of a book yet. Maybe you should take a break from studying (Y/n)~... After all, you do have a month, and it's better to study 2 or 3 weeks before a test so that you can remember it all easily" Kat sad. 

"There have been 108 Nebulas found. But are thought to be more. And there are a lot of things about the types of stars there are. So studying now, I will be able to get through it all. But thank you for worrying," (Y/n) said, smiling at her. "They are just testing to see what I know for now..."

"Such a smart girl," Kat giggled. 

It was as if (Y/n)'s mother's murder was just a distant memory and (Y/n) going to prison. In fact, Akira and (Y/n) didn't really remember anything or anyone who was at the prison. But they still knew it happened at some point. Then there was a knock at the door. 

"I'll get it," Akira said, standing up. 

"Weird... We live out far into the forest... Who would come here?" (Y/n) mumbled as Akira opened the door. Kat and (Y/n) couldn't;t see who was at the door because of a tiny hall that leads to the front door. 

"Hey, Aunt Kat. Did you know that the sun cant turn into a black hole? It's not big enough," (Y/n) said. 

"Yes, honey. You have told me many times," Kat giggled. 

"Oh, sorry," (Y/n) said. 

"Oh! Hello Akira. Is (Y/n) here by any chance?" They heard a male voice at the door. When Kat listened to the voice, she froze. The voice sounded strangely familiar. But (Y/n) was sure she never heard of it. 

"Akira! Close that door!" Kat shouted. 

"What why?" Akira said. 

"Just do as I tell you!" Kat yelled. Akira and (Y/n) were surprised. 

"... Who are you boys?" Akira said, turning to the boys ignoring Kat's demands. 

"Akira!" 

"What? You really don't remember us?" They heard another voice. 

"No, I have never seen you in my entire life. How do you know (Y/n)... (Y/n) come here" Akira said. 

"No! (Y/n)! Stay right there! Akira, close the door and lock it! Do at I tell you, brat!" Kat shouted. 

"Aunt Kat, are you okay? I think you overworked yourself. Please, calm down," (Y/n) said, standing up. "Go take a nap. I'll finish dinner and take care of who is at the door."

"I said sit!" Kat yelled as she left the kitchen and walked over to the door to see a green-haired man with glasses and a man with purple hair. Trois and Honey. With the four other former inmates behind them. 

"Kat-!" Akira was cut off when Kat slammed the door. "What are you doing? Are you going crazy?"

"Shut up and sit down with (Y/n)!" Kat yelled. 

"You are acting weird, Kat," Akira said. 

"Hey! Let us in, damn it! (Y/n)! It's Uno!!" Said yet another male voice. 

W-What is happening? Why is Kat acting this way? Who are those people? Why do they sound so familiar? What should I do? Is there anything I can do? Is there something Kat isn't telling us? Ugh! My head hurts~ (Y/n) thought as Akira backed away to (Y/n).
