Be With Me

Chapter 2

        Akira sat on a park bench about a week after she had moved in. Everything had been going fine, I mean, it was chaotic, but she could handle it. She actually enjoyed the company of all of the boys, they seemed to really make the place feel like home for her. Not to mention that living with her best friend was a plus. The only sad part was that Akira and Ema still hadn't had the time to catch up, Ema being busy with college and Akira being busy with work and settling in. That's actually why she was sitting on that bench, she was waiting for Ema to get done with school so that they could catch up.

        It was just then that Ema showed up, scaring Akira who sat peacefully on the bench.

        "Chii!!!" Akira shouted, jumping up and soon out of her seat. "Oh, you're gonna get it!" She shouted, starting to chase the other girl around the park, not caring about what others thought, everyone else's opinions mean nothing when it comes to revenge. 

       Akira soon caught up with her, capturing her in a bone-crushing hug. "Ok! Ok! I won't scare you again!" Ema laughs, Akira releasing her from the hug as soon as she says that. "Pinky promise?""Pinky promise" The two girls said, locking their pinkies together, smiling innocently at each other before bursting out laughing at their idiotic behavior.

       The two had then started walking around the park, just catching up on each other's lives and sharing funny stories.

        "So, how do you like living with us? Have the boys caused you any problems?" Ema asked, thinking back to the emotional troubles that the boys gave her when she first moved in. "Oh, ah, not that I can think of" Akira semi-lied. They really hadn't been trouble, the only thing that she thought of was her first night there with Tsubaki. That moment with the oldest triplet had plagued her mind ever since it happened. "Ah, that's great!" Ema said, smiling brightly, unaware of the problems that the boys were yet to bring.

         Akira sighed gently, enjoying the soft wind on her face. Her job around the house was the laundry. It turned out to be quite a pain, having to deal with all of the boys' laundry along with her's and Ema's. She was currently taking a break from hanging up the clothes to dry on the roof, leaning on the edge, overlooking the little garden. 

       It was, as Akira had found out, a very quiet and peaceful place. She was in the middle of this realization when the door to the roof opened. "Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were up here Akira," Azusa said, closing the door behind him and walking to the railing where Akira had planted herself.

       Akira said nothing to recognize his presence, she simply stood there, overlooking the world in front of her. The sun had just started to set, painting the sky a beautiful array of colors that took her breath away. 

        Azusa approached the peaceful girl, taking a spot next to her, but not too close to make her uncomfortable. Even then, Akira didn't say anything to him, she just continued to stare at the setting sun. In her Serene state, Akira didn't notice the man's wandering gaze that continued to fall on her calm form. 

        "Isn't it beautiful?" Akira stated/ asked Azusa, her eyes never leaving the sky in front of her. "Yeah, it sure is," He said, his eyes still falling upon the girl beside him. 

        He was then shaken out of this fixated state when Akira suddenly pulled her arms back and over her head, stretching out her back. "Well, I'm gonna get back to work" She said, smiling gently at Azusa. "You can stay here if you want, but I might be a bit noisy," She said, looking back at him as she walked back towards her work. "Ah, ok," He said, staring at her retreating form.
