Chapter Six: A day in with Kou part 1
He was...so good-looking! His cheekbones were high, clear skin and no facial imperfections whatsoever. He had the same hair colour as Kou, however his eyes were much darker and blue. That colour must be rare, she thought to herself.
Aria stared directly at him for such a long time that Arlo was actually getting quite uncomfortable. Was he that disgusting?
"...Although, no one really calls me that anymore."he continued. "Um...are you alright?"he looked at Aria who was still staring at him. Pulling his hair in front of his face in order for her to stop staring, he waited it her response.
"A-Um no, you just remind me of someone. Have I seen you somewhere before? Maybe I have...I-I!"she lied, quickly and with a certain degree of emotional strain.
"It doesn't matter."he said cooly. "You will have to stay here for the whole day whilst I sort some things out. Don't think of this as a babysitting job. Just don't get into any trouble and if there's a knock at the door, don't answer it. Be a good kid, little brother."he turned around putting his mask back on.
"Yes sir!"squealed Kou, giving him a mock salute.
"See ya, brat."he waved down at his little brother. The kid beamed up at his sibling as if he had said something a little more polite to him.
"You too, big brother."
And with that, Arlo left her in his home.
" 'Ria, you've got pretty hair, can I braid it?"he asked, puffing out his cheeks before sucking then in to make a fish face. Kou was surely the cutest kid Aria had ever met.
"Aren't boys your age training to be young gentlemen."
"Huh? You must be a real princess." Kou laughed. "So can I, please~?!"
"Umm...sure. As long as you use my brush." Aria replied.
"I'll show you to my room, it can be a fancy hair salon."Kou dragged her into the tiny bedroom and climbed up the ladder. "Big brother doesn't let me go on top because I might fall down. But now you're here so I won't get hurt." Kou offered her his pudgy, little hand. She climbed up the ladder before he pulled her up. It was so small. Her head was brushing the ceiling.
