Chapter 25: Taking It Down

Aphmau picked up her phone and tapped Aaron's contact. "Hello-" "AARON! KAWAII~CHANUPLOADEDTHATPICTUREOFUSONTHEINTERNET!" Aaron was listening on his headphones and his eyes widened to the blasting sound. "Okay... so first, I can't understand what you're saying, and second, you're a bit too loud." "KAWAII~CHAN. UPLOADED. THAT. PICTURE." Aphmau gasped. Aaron shrugged. "There's loads of pictures of us on her phone, so what?" Aphmau rolled her eyes. "No, that picture. Yesterday!" Aaron stopped everything he was doing. He dropped his phone on his lap, and he froze. He thought for a minute and continued. "And....? It's still a picture." Aphmau pulled at her face. "I mean, what if my MOM sees it?" Aaron stopped again. "Aaron? Aaron? Aaron! Are you okay?" He was definitely not. "......I almost had a heart attack. We have to take that picture down."

"KAWAII~CHAN I BEG OF YOU!" Aphmau pleaded. Kawaii~Chan was mixing a bowl off chocolate batter. "Kawaii~Chan is too busy, Aphmau~Senpai! These cakes aren't gonna bake themselves!" Aphmau cringed. "PLEASE! Just give me your phone, and I'll do it myself!" Kawaii~Chan poured the batter into a pan and dumped sprinkles into it. "But Aphmau~Senpai, Kawaii~Chan's ship is going through the roof! Kawaii~Chan needs to remember her OTP's special moments! The pictures that Kawaii~Chan has on her phone are the only times Kawaii~Chan isn't busy!" Aphmau tapped her chin and Aaron knocked on her front door. "Come in!" Aphmau shouted. Aaron stepped inside the house and stood next to Aphmau. "Hey, Kawaii~Chan....." he said nervously. "Hi, Aaron~Kun! Aphmau~Senpai was begging Kawaii~Chan to take down a picture!" Kawaii~Chan placed a bowl of strawberries in Aaron's hands. Aphmau ate one. "Um, Aaron.... can we talk for a minute, in my room? Now?" Aphmau and Aaron walked upstairs to her room. "Aaron, I don't know what to do! If my Mom sees that picture, not only is she gonna kill you, but she's gonna kill ME! I don't know what Kawaii~Chan wants, but- are you eating those?" Aphmau took the bowl from Aaron, who wasn't eating them. "These are actually pretty good, so um-" Kawaii~Chan walked into the room and grabbed the strawberries from Aphmau.

"Kawaii~Chan needs these." she squealed. As she set one foot out the door, Aphmau stopped her. "I'LL LET YOU PUT UP CAMERAS ANYWHERE YOU WANT!" Aaron stopped. "Kawaii~Chan, can we talk for a minute?" He pushed Kawaii~Chan out the door and shut it. "Aphmau, are you serious? We'll never be.... alone together...." Aphmau smiled. "Aw, does Aaron want alone time with Aphmau? Well..." Aphmau grabbed the collar of his sweater. "We CAN'T. We've already seen what happens when were alone, since we're in that stage of our relationship, Aaron! So pull yourself together!" Aphmau whisper-shouted. "I didn't mean that, I meant that we won't be able to go out anywhere, kiss, or even hug each other without someone always watching." Aaron stated. Aphmau loosened her grip, but didn't let go. She pulled him down to her level. "You listen to me right now! If you want to LIVE, so we can go places, kiss, and hug, we're going to let Kawaii~Chan do what she wants!" Aaron pulled away from her, but she pulled him closer so that they were nose to nose.

"Okay, Aphmau. Just please let me go." Aaron said. Aphmau kissed him and pushed him away. "So we agree?" she asked. "I never said I agreed." Aaron noted. "Then I'll make you agree." Aphmau pushed him to he floor.

Aaron sat up, dazed. "Now you agree. Let's go downstairs." Aphmau laughed. "Come on, we just kissed... a lot." Aphmau held Aaron's hand and they walked downstairs. "Kawaii~Chan, we agreed to let you put up cameras wherever you want so you can take pictures whenever." Kawaii~Chan squealed and dropped her whisk. "But, don't go to crazy. No bathrooms. And they must turn off when we change our clothes, got it? And no watching when there's a Once Upon A Time marathon on." Kawaii~Chan nodded her head. "When does Kawaii~Chan get to spy on her ship?" "All the time, but not tonight at 6:46. Kawaii~Chan nodded again and continued to her baking. Aphmau and Aaron went back upstairs to her room. She opened the door for Aaron and he leaned against the wall. Aphmau held the door open. "May I ask why exactly no filming at 6:46 p.m.?" Aaron asked. "Because I still have plans for you." Aphmau shut the door. Aaron backed away from Aphmau, and she scooted closer to him. "Um, isn't this just gonna last for a minute? Till 6:47?" "Until midnight, Aaron." Aaron looked at the cat clock. "It's  6:45, Aphmau." Then it meowed to 6:46. "Mother of Irene-" Aphmau pushed him to the floor again.

"It's only 7 o'clock, Aaron!" Aphmau sighed. He stood up, and they were both fully dressed. "I really need to go, and I think Celestia is hungry." Aphmau sat down on her bed. "Okay, I guess I'll see you later." She looked at the floor and Aaron noticed. "You're serious right now." Aphmau made puppy eyes at Aaron. He rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll stay for five minutes." Aphmau smiled. She jumped onto his back and he almost fell. "Aphmau!" he shouted. "Cuddle time!" Aaron dropped Aphmau off his back and set her in front of him. "I said CUDDLE TIME! NOW!" Aaron hugged Aphmau and they stood there for the entire five minutes. "I'm gonna go." Aaron muttered. Aphmau kissed him goodnight. "Goodnight." she smiled. "It's only 7:05. Aphmau." he laughed. Aaron walked back home and sat down on his couch. He looked at his phone and scrolled. "No problems... Kawaii~Chan's Bakery Page.... Kawaii~Chan's Ships.... banana face wash... Best Picture Ever of Aarmau.... strawberries for sale.... I'm Looking For A Woman... wait." He scrolled back and gasped. "She didn't take the picture down." He looked at how shocked and pale Aphmau's face was and how he looked like he didn't care what was happening. "That was actually pretty funny- wait," He stood up. "Kawaii~Chan didn't get rid of the picture!"
