Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Thinking Onion

Aqua pov: I woke up from the nap I took after being stabbed by a sword, and I saw Shion looming over me, and she was cutting an apple.

"You're awake" She confirmed that her voice sounded tired yet happy.

"Did you watch me the whole time I was out?" I asked

"Why wouldn't I?" Shion asked

I genuinely feel bad for her because recently she has been trying to make sure the two of us stick together. It's almost as if he doesn't want us to be apart at all because she's grown attached to me, but that can't be the case because she is a kusogaki.

"Where is Choco-sensei?" I asked

"Oh, she's with her fiancé," Shion stated.

"Wait, who is her fiancé?" I asked

"Mel-senpai" Shion stated

"Oh, good for them!" I happily stated:

"What if we got married?" Shion asked.

"What?" I said in shock, "Why bring up marriage?"

Shion didn't seem to have an answer for me. She just blushed and turned away.

"You love me?" I asked

"You know I do, but I don't want to admit it to you!" Shion yelled

"I love you too, and I don't want to admit that to you!" I yelled

We both realized our PON moment when we both admitted that we love each other officially.

"You're a dumbass." Shion scoffed

"I'm the dumbass; you're the dumbass!" I yelled

We both looked away from each other, and I didn't know what to say to her. This is the most we really talked about our feelings for each other.

"I have to go..." Shion stated.

I reached out to stop her, but I paused. I didn't know what to say to her. We hadn't really kissed or done anything, but we knew we loved one another, and we had that big fight. That's why she kicked me out. We both regretted that day.

I clenched my left fist and reached out, grabbing her hand tightly. "Shion, don't go!" I yelled

"Shut up. You never let me move forward, Aqua. You drive me crazy. I love you so much, but I'm a witch. I can't love, so please leave me alone. I can't stand forcing you to be a servant or a maid, and I can't love you!" Shion yelled

She yanked her hand away and began to run off. I was dumbfounded. I need to sort this out. I love her, and she doesn't want to get with me because of her morals.

"How did you screw that up?" Ayame asked

"Shove it..." I sighed

"No need to lash out at me for what you failed to do!" Ayame said

I sighed She was right; it was true. I did fail to stop her. I am pathetic. I don't know how to talk to her at all. I love her. Maybe I could go to Choco-sensei for love advice, but then again, that's what Shion would expect, so I can't go there.

"Do you and Subaru do special things?" I asked Ayame

"We did before her sudden amnesia..." Ayame-dono sighed

For some reason, I always get that detail, and like that, it was awkward once again.

Why did the two introverts have to meet? Why is everyone in this group besides Suabru an introvert? I don't get it.

"How are you two holding up given all these awkward exchanges?" Ui-mama said.

"I want to be more with Shion, but I don't know how to tell her!" I said

"She doesn't know how to tell you either!" Ayame-dono said

"Look, you two are onions and garlic; you need to figure out the dish that suits you," Ui-mama said.

I was confused about what she meant about the fact that Ui-mama didn't answer; she just sat down on a chair.

"Weren't you checking on Subaru in the bathroom?" Ui-mama asked

"Yeah, I was!" Ayame-Dono said she quickly turned around and ran to the bathroom.

"You aren't mad that she's seen your daughter naked?" I asked

"No, Choco-sensei has seen her naked." Ui-mama said

That is true. Choco-sensei has seen us all naked, to be honest, and I'm not really mad at that since it is due to medical checkups.

"You are really relaxed," I mentioned.

"Correctly, as a single mother, I found happiness, although if a nice, pretty woman wanted to get with me, I wouldn't be opposed, but they have to be a woman." Ui-mama said

I knew her preferences without her having to explain since she apparently had a few nights of passion with Choco-sensei. Honestly, I want to know more about the night of passion.

"So did you and Choco-sensei have really good... I didn't know how to say anything.

"Yes, it was good; actually, she makes really cute noises when you-" Ui-mama was about to finish her sentence, but Suabru walked into the room, and she realized she probably shouldn't talk about this in front of her daughter.

"Tell me later!" I said to her:

"Got it," she replied.

This whole exchange made me wonder how I was bold enough to ask a question such as what Ui-mama and Choco-sensei have done together, but I can't ask the girl I've had a major crush on forever if she will date me; it makes no sense.

Maybe the problem is Shion, but she's the one I love, so that can't be it.

I decided that I have to bite the bullet on this one it may be really predictable what is going to happen however it just has to so we can move on

I have to ask Choco-sensei for love advice. I don't know what she'll tell me, but anything will be better than the skills I have now. I may as well not be a person because of how badly I converse with others.

I just hope Choco-sensei and Mel-senpai aren't doing odd things in the other room.
