Meet My Rich Husband (Sekaiichi Romantica Fanfic)

Misaki x Akihiko Backstory (Part 2) - Chapter 22

I asked Nii-chan if where Akihiko-san live, so here I am.

Nii got worried since Akihiko-san was not contacting him for a few weeks now, in all honesty, I was too.

I even tried calling the company he was working for but they said, he still kept sending them his manuscripts even though he's not seeing his editor.

"So, I cooked you dinner."

"Yes, you did. Thank you, Misaki."

He looked thinner, and even much paler than before.

"I don't know, but you probably need to get out of your house and do something. You're too pale, and Nii-chan is looking for you."

An eerie silence was between us, I waited for him to reply but he only sighed.

"Can you please be quiet for a sec? You cooked me dinner, right? So, I should eat it then."

So I did, I left him alone and sat in silence as he ate.

"I haven't eaten a warm meal since, I don't even know already." He finally spoke

I turned around to the dining table, and he was looking at me.

I felt the blood flooding my cheeks, and heat radiating from my face.

"When did you find out that you were in love with Nii-chan?"

I blurted that out.

I was just curious.

A man, loving another man...

I've always never thought of gender, its just a title given to us by whomever invented that word.

But, now. Its more than that.

"I fell in love with him every time he smiled at me. That's it."

Nothing fell, but I heard something crashing down inside me.

My chest hurt, I felt dizzy and I don't know why.

I want to hate Nii-chan for doing this to Akihiko-san, he looked so sad, tired and lonely.

"I'm sorry about Nii-chan being.."

"STOP! NO! Don't pity me! and don't blame your brother! He didn't do anything wrong. Its just me. This is on me. The only one I can blame is no one else, but me."

He started crying again, tears fell from his eyes as he stood and took the dirty dishes to the sink.

He cleaned the table top, washed the dishes and everything else while he let his tears fall down from his face.

"Thank you for being here, Misaki. If you didn't come, I'd probably kill myself or something."

"What are you saying? Don't be silly and stop thinking about stuff like that. If you want someone to talk to, just call me."

Even though his eyes were bulging from crying, even though tears were welling up in the sides of his nose and at the corners of his mouth...
