Permanent [Budo x Ayano]

Chapter 11 // Nemesisters

"I hope you like sugar because.. yikes."
"I do, this will be fun." he smirked
"How do you even begin with a monster like this?"
"Okay so," he picked up a spoon, "You gotta start with the creme, then let the marshmallows melt in the hot chocolate. And maybe even eat them if you can't resist." he smiled
"Damn, you know what you're doing!" I laughed, grabbing a spoon too.
"Thank you Ayano. For everything."
"You're welcome Budo." I held his hand.
"You were on a date with Taro, weren't you?"
"Kinda.. it was complex. It started off as getting food, then he asked if it was a date or not.. well, a while in, Megami told me something. I missed you, so I went to the hospital."
"You left a date with your Senpai to see me?" he looked shellshocked.
"Of course." I smiled
"I don't even know what to say. Like, woah."
"What?" I laughed
"You chose me instead of going on a date with Taro. What did Megami say?"
"I don't know if I should say."
"Go on." he smiled
"Ayano, everyone can see it, he adores you. He wants to protect you." I quoted her, "It was my turn to protect you."
"What if she tries to get you Ayano?"
"Oh please." I laughed, "You can't torture someone that lived 18 years with no emotion. I don't feel pain or exhaustion, so she could try for years and get nowhere."
"That's good to hear I guess." he said, tracing over the 'Ayano' on his arm
"I'm sorry."
"Eh, could be worse."
"How!?"
"She could have drew a dick on my arm or some shit. At least it's my favourite person's name."
"Budo.."
"A.. Y.. A.. N.. O!" watching him reminded me of my former self. He was damaged, and these were his scars. Sometimes he seemed so emotionless, but sometimes he was OVER emotional.
"Budo.. stop." I put my hand on his arm and moved it down, sitting on top of him like he had a few days ago.
"Ayano.. what are you.." he trailed off as I put my head against his, "So, you remember a few days ago when I said I like where this is going?"
"Yeah?" I was fully on top of Budo now, although he was sat up slightly, leaning on his arms.
"I like where this is going."
"I was hoping you might." I leaned forward and kissed him. We were kissing passionately for what seemed like forever, but in reality was about 10 minutes. To think that I wasted 10 weeks on Taro when I could have been here with Budo.. I would have liked that.. we probably would have continued if my mom hadn't walked in on us.
"Oh my, sorry for interrupting."
"Mom.. this is a bad time."
"Yeah no kidding. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that dinner is ready. Bye." she closed the door.
"Hey." Budo smirked
"Hey."
"Ayano?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too Budo."
"Aya, will you be my girlfriend?"
"It would be my honour." I kissed him on the cheek.
"You make me so happy Ayano."
"You make me happy too Budo."
"We should go get dinner." he moved his arm down my back.
"Yeah. I want to call Osana first."
"Najimi? Why?" he asked
"You'll see." I turned over and Budo wrapped his arms around me. I grabbed my phone and pulled up Osana's contact. I called her and she picked up almost instantly.
"Ayano? What's up?"
"Osana.. I was talking to Taro recently. He told me he was regretting rejecting you. He misses you."
"He.. He does?"
"You should talk to him Osana. Him and Megami broke up. You can get your friend back, and maybe even something more."
"Wow.. I-I thought you hated me Ayano.. you're being very mature about this.. are you being serious?"
"Of course. It took me a while to realise it, but nobody can play god. You can't just ruin everything for other people because you want something for yourself. If you have to try THAT hard for something, without success, then it was never worth it to begin with. You make Taro happy - and you have since you were both little kids. I was selfish, and I know that now, but I'm sorry. Me and Taro weren't supposed to be together, and I wish I could have seen it from the start. I don't expect you to forgive me but.. if there is anything I can do for you, please ask."
"Ayano that was.. that was really kind and it couldn't have been easy to say. Of course I'll forgive you, I really hope that we can be friends."
"That'd be nice."
"Then it's settled! We're no longer rivals. We, Ayano, are friends!"
"Y'know, that actually doesn't sound bad. Anyway, I have to go. And I'd assume that you'd like to talk to Taro. Good luck Osana."
"Thanks Ayano. It really means a lot."
"You're welcome."
"Goodbye Ayano."
"See you later." I hung up
"Aya, I'm so proud of you." he started kissing my neck - in a cute way rather than a sexual way.
"Thank you Budo." I giggled
"Let's go eat."
We got up and went downstairs to the dining table. Me and Budo sat next to each other, while my parents sat on the opposite side, parallel with males and females. (My dad was opposite Budo and I was opposite my mother.)

Author's note - Yes we get it Ayano, I can't explain shit. Give me a break.

My dad seemed to be looking at Budo a lot, and it was pretty quiet while we were eating. I could see that Budo was getting nervous, so I looked at my mom in a hinting manner.
"So Budo, you run the martial arts club?"
"Yeah. I've been training since I was young, so when I joined Akademi I was happy to have my club accepted. I hope to allow the chance for young people to learn to defend themselves in times of need." he smiled proudly, making me giggle a little.
"Ah, that takes me back. I used to train in martial arts before I met Ryoba." my father started. They were bonding?

The title of this chapter is actually a reference to a Yandere Simulator AU book I'm writing, in which Nemesis-Chan exists in the school and has a.. well you see where I'm going with this. Nemesis-Chan is someone we know's sister :3
