Pure hearted romance

Pt 4

Akihiko pov

Misaki looked flabbergasted. He glared at me. "My brother is the friend you were talking about?" My eyes shot daggers at him. Don't you dare tell him. Misaki paled and looked away. Takahiro on the other hand was ecstatic. "I'm so glad that my best friend already knows my brother," he said cheerfully. And he took the cake that Misaki had made.

"Honestly this was very unexpected! Thanks!" Takahiro said. Normally this from him would make my day, but today I wasn't as excited. That was weird, but maybe I'm finally moving on. I was a mess when he got married. I gave him his present. It was the watch that he liked when we went shopping together.

"Here's your present," I handed the black box to him.

"Oh my goodness this was expensive!" I laughed. "You deserve to spoil yourself sometimes." Takahiro smiled. "Thank you so much!" He gushed.

He turned to Misaki. "Misaki why didn't you tell me that you were living with usami San?"

"Wait what? " Misaki stuttered. "Him.... I–" I cut him off.

"We've only been living together for a day. He took me in because it was raining and we had an extremely hard cycle that day." Misaki glared at me.

"This was only temporary, just so you know!"

I waved him off. "By the way, did you know Misaki wants to go to Mitsuhashi University?"

Misaki's glare got deeper. "Usagi San I told you I need to work. I can't afford college right now."

I ignored him. And turned to Takahiro. "I could tutor him. And he could live with me for some time. You are going to Osaka anyway."

"Nee-chan explain to Usagi San I live by myself already," Misaki yelped.

Takahiro looked at me uncertainly. "Misaki is struggling to pay the rent where he lives right now. He definitely cannot afford your house."

Misaki was sending me a silent message. Not another word. That just made me want him more. "I need someone who can cook like he can. Thats why I'm offering. I'm not going to ask for money."  Normally Takahiro was really dense. I've never had to work  this hard to convince him to do something.

Finally Takahiro relented. "Ok, but then he won't be able to get a job if he goes to school."

Misaki added, "and I need the money."

I was getting really annoyed now. "If he lived with me, he wouldn't need the money. I'll support him. I promise." Takahiro finally agreed. I shot a smug look at Misaki. He sent a murderous look back at me.

Misaki pov

"You shouldn't have done that." I mumbled. Usagi San looked at me. "What's wrong with accepting help? Can't you bring your pride down?"

Excuse me?! When have I ever been prideful? He dropped me at my apartment. I got out of his car.

"Hey Misaki?" I turned to look at him. Usagi San winked. "Think about the fun we're going to have when you move in with me." I blushed Crimson.

"BAKA USAGI!" I yelled at the back of his red car. In return I got stares from every direction. I ran into the apartment. Nee-chan, how could you.
