HOPE 11

Free! & Hope

The next day, after the party they had at the studio, the sisters woke up in bed back home, they didn't even remember getting in the house in the first place, and they brushed their teeth and began to get ready to meet up with the boys again. Miss Shiro was at the hospital today, she remembers meeting the sister's mother again, they were good friends since college, and the day they met again was after the father's accident. Izumi is very smart, she was younger than the mother, so she went to college early.

Akane and Edmichiro did her a favor, they delivered a meal of lunch for her, and gave away snacks to a few patients. The people that worked there knew them very well, ever since they were young, the hospital hasn't changed, and they were glad. Dr. Taguchi, the man who attended their parents, didn't leave either, he was attending a patient at the moment, but they left a snack for him as well and they strolled outside and they separate ways for a little while. Akane knew that Haruka was in his house so she decide to bother him for a bit, while Edmichiro wanted to hang out with Gou at the mall, she obviously would call Nagisa at some point to head there. Akane knocked the door.

Aka: "Haruka! I know you're in there~!" she stepped in and giggled to herself as she smelled the mackerel cooking in the kitchen. She snuck up behind him, but he looked back before she could've surprise him.

Haru: "Early..." Akane nods

Aka: "Yeah, I thought of passing by for a bit if you don't mind" she grinned sheepishly.

Haru: "No" he seemed to know she was coming so he made food for two, he handed over a plate and served. Akane blushed a bit, she wasn't use to a boy cooking for her instead. She took a first bite and she wasn't expecting it to be that good, but she had no words. Haruka just noticed her face and smiled a bit, just glad she likes it.

Haru: "Is it that bad?"

Aka: "WHAT!? NO! Opposite! This is too good to be true!" he pat her head, as they finish eating, Akane grabs the dishes and washes them.

Haru: "I can do that you know"

Aka: "Nah, you already went through the time to make the meal, let me return the favor!" He tilts his head a little visualizing something, like some perfect wife or so, he blushed a bit. Once she finished she cleaned the kitchen a bit and he helped her put some of the things back.

Haru: "Akane" she looks at him directly, just a little surprised since he often doesn't call her too much. But she was confused as he didn't speak forwardly.

Aka: "What is it, Haru?" he just kept doing what he did, he was utterly embarrassed thinking out loud like that. Akane walked forward hugging the black haired male. After a while, Akane left to find her sister and Haruka decides to stay behind.

Daisuki was stuck at the Samezuka academy with her cousin asking like a million of questions about swimming to poor Rin, he felt like his ears were going to explode. But he tried his best to keep his cool and leave a good impression. After a while, Toguro stops asking questions and watches how they did it.

Rin: "Thank God" He said, sitting back taking a deep breath, Daisuki laughs.

Dai: "That's Toguro alright, he hasn't changed his habit at all"

Rin: "He's a mouth full"

Dai: "I think everyone knows that, what they don't know is the other part"

Rin: "You mean the fact he's actually rich? Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed it myself"

Dai: "I know, but that's why my family doesn't know much about him, they just think he's a lost cause" The red-head looks at her cousin, still not believing it.
