-the following day-
Kido groaned softly and opened her eyes. They wandered around the ceiling before her brain ordered her to sit up. Kido looked around the room and saw Aiha out of her bed. She had the idea that Aiha was already downstairs. She got up and opened the door carefully, Clearly hearing a creak, Before opening it fully.
-downstairs-
Kido entered the living room and heard Aiha talking to someone.
"Ohayo, Aiha-san." She said. Aiha turned to her and so did the person she was talking to. He had long blond hair in a ponytail and brown eyes.
"Ah. Ohayo, Tsubomi. This is Aito." Aiha smiled as she tilted her head towards her brother.
"Hello...." Kido smiled.
"Aito, This is Aika's classmate, Tsubomi Kido." Aiha sighed, Noticing Aito frowning towards her.
"Ah, So this is the famous Tsubomi I've been hearing about. You look just like your sister, The way I remember her. Only difference is your hair and eyes. But overall, You have a resemblance." Aito said as he examined Kido's face.
"Y-Yeah, I guess...." Kido mumbled.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Aito sighed sadly as he looked down.
"Aito, I know it hurts thinking Rin is gone, But she wouldn't want to see you like this. She'd want you to smile and not pout. Get over yourself." Aika frowned.
"I know...." Aito murmured. He looked up at Kido and smiled. Kido smiled back then realized something, Making her eyes go wide.
"Tsubomi, You know Aito Kaira, Right? Well, Don't tell him I told you, But I kinda....Like him....."
Rin's words shot into Kido's head.
"You do?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"I was about to tell you last month but you were too damn busy with whatever you were doing to even look at me."
"Well, I can't make promises. I might tell him one day~!"
"Over my dead body, Then."
"I'm kidding! You are so serious, Onee-chan!"
Kido smiled.
"Aito-san, I have something to say. And I'm not making this up, Okay?" She said as she looked at Aiha. "But onee-chan once told me a secret and made me promise not to tell you."
"What would that be?" Aiha asked.
"She likes you. You were more than a friend to her. And you were definitely higher than a best friend." Kido said, Her eyes not leaving Aito. Aito looked up at her.
"She does?" He asked eagerly.
"She does. If she were alive, She would've already told you. It was her secret to have told, But I did it to her favor. And I bitterly regret telling you knowing she was a very close friend to you." Kido smiled. Aito's lip quivered as his eyes shimmered with tears. Aiha smiled as she repeatedly patted her brother's back.
"Aito, Be a man, Will ya? You should be thankful to Tsubomi, If anything." She said. Aito looked up at Kido with a tender smile as he rushed up and hugged her. Kido's and Aiha's eyes widened.
"Aito-san....?" Kido turned her head slowly to the blond haired male.
"I mentioned something about you looking a lot like Rin?" Aito muttered and Kido felt his lips curve into a smile, causing shivers run down her spine.
"Y-Yes....." She answered and mentally cursed herself for stuttering. Just then, Aito lifted his head up to be at the height of her ear and whispered,
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
Kido's eyes widened even more.
"I-I....I....." She stuttered. She looked at Aiha as though asking for help.
"Please?" Aito asked.
"....I...I will...." Kido bit her bottom lip. Aito smiled and hugged her tighter.
(A/N: OMG YOU GUYS I AM SO SO SORRY THIS CHAP IS SO DAMN SHORT I WILL MAKE IT UP TO ALL OF YOU I PROMISE!!)
