Red Yarn (Oshi No Ko > Aqua X Kana)

Not Accepting Rejection

Arima's house is starting to go down. Everyone has returned to Ishigami's inn to prepare to return home. While Karma was still sitting on the dining chair with Aqua who was not also moving away.

"I'll be home tomorrow" Aqua tells Miyako before she leaves Arima's house. "I'll be back tomorrow, I still want to be here."

Miyako just nodded in understanding. He did not want to ask Aqua's purpose, because tomorrow the actor did not have a schedule of activities so he could not force to come back to Tokyo.

Dinner schedule, Karma aided Aqua in cooking curry and egg rolls. Aqua did not help him much just paying attention to the extremely skilled Karma pouring herbs without thinking. The work he did was also very fast, the way he held his knife was also very expert.

It's called talent. Think Aqua.

"You want to take her to Kana's room?" ask Karma after finishing arranging the side dishes on the dining table. "Looks like he doesn't know you're still here."

"Yes," Aqua answered briefly.

His hands began to put two dishes of rice and curry on the tray. Plus a plate containing egg rolls. Not to forget he was carrying two bottles of mineral water on a tray.

"Later home late, because there's something to discuss with the villagers about dad. Tomorrow too I have to go to the hospital where Dad works, because I have to tidy up his belongings." Karma explained his schedule from night and tomorrow.

"Stay outside?" ask Aqua.

"It may not be, but if it's too late and I'm exhausted it's probably yes" Karma replied. "I'll call you again. I'd better lock the door, I'll bring a spare key."

"What about the stalker? Have you been caught?"

A thin smile adorned Karma's face. "It's over!"

Aqua simply replied with a smile and a nod. He stepped onto the second floor. Karma began to prepare to leave. The existence of Aqua tonight, makes Karma not too worried about the state of Kana that he will stay for a while.

...****************...

The sky was getting dark, the summer breeze was still warm. Kana sat on the second floor terrace staring at the sky. The orange color turned dark, as if revealing the content of Kana's heart and mind full of sadness. He hopes the day doesn't just pass, he hopes to go back to see his father.

"Let's eat..." A low voice resuscitated Kana from her daydream. His head turned to the source of the voice.

"You're not coming home? Didn't everyone go back to Tokyo?"

Aqua's hand placed a tray of food and drinks on the table. He sat next to Kana with his hands filled with curry rice dishes and a spoon.

" Let's eat first" Aqua answered with a spoonful of rice and curry. "So, let's open your mouth!"

"I can eat by myself!" reply Kana grabbed another plate on the table. "What are you doing here?"

The hand with the spoon finally Aqua ate by herself. It was sad to be denied his good intentions. But, it doesn't matter for now because Kana must be shocked at his arrival here. He did not say goodbye to Kana who was on the second floor all day.

"I'll keep you company until tomorrow." Aqua replied after she swallowed the rice in her mouth. "You want to date me?" Aqua looked Kana seriously in the eyes, waiting for a response from Kana and hoping that the girl would accept it.

"I don't accept rejection." Aqua pulled Cana's hand from her forehead.

"You sick, huh?" Kana finally opened her voice. "Tertularized by me?"

"I'm fine, healthy too. So, I'm saying this in a sane and healthy state."

"Dating? With the sick you mean?" Kana asked again. He was still trying to think normally of Aqua's invitation.

"Yes, it doesn't matter at home either. Eat together, watch a movie together," Aqua replied, she pulled the tip of her lips and approached Cana's ears. "Sleep together..."

"Yahoo!" Kana's hand quickly hit Aqua's head with a spoon. "Don't joke!" peekkik Kana with a flushed face.

"Night sleep together." Aqua stroked her aching head. "Do you expect more than last night?" goda Aqua's.

"A-kun!" exclaim Kana upset. He turned his face that was red. Gombalan Aqua successfully made him misbehave. Plus Aqua who looks relaxed without losing her cold nature. "Why all of a sudden?"

Aqua seemed to think for a while, before she finally opened her mouth. "Because before I go back to Tokyo, I want to make memories with you. After that I won't force you to accept my feelings or reject them."

"You're persistent, yes." replied Kana without looking at Aqua's face. "When I have rejected it many times."

"Yes, so please don't refuse this date." Aqua lowered her face, staring at the rice with curry there.

His mind was half crazy. Dating, suddenly crossed his mind. Though he knew, Kana was sick and could not get out. But, he will prepare everything for his second date with Kana. Even if only at home. He promises not to cross the line and does not force Kana to accept his feelings.

"Please cooperate, A-kun..." Kana smiled with a blushing face. Her round eyes were increasingly beautiful to look at, although there was still a bandage on her forehead. "I hope it'll be fun!"

There was always a smile reply for Kana from Aqua's lips. Now it feels like he just wants to spend a day with Kana. In fact, Aqua had already turned off her phone so as not to get interference from outside.

...****************...

During the trip to Tokyo, Ruby was more silent. He does not understand why his brother chose to go home tomorrow and stay at Arima's house. Plus tonight Miyako will stay at Hoshino's house to accompany Ruby.

Many questions Ruby had in mind about Aqua's behavior. Starting from last night, the young man chose to sleep with Kana. The next morning he sees Aqua and Kana sleeping in the same bed, although they do nothing more than sleep together, Ruby still feels dislike. All day Aqua continued to worry about Kana, staring at the second floor of Arima's house.

Even tonight, a message from Ruby ticks only one. Ruby's phone wasn't picked up either. Every hour Ruby asked Aqua news. He just wanted to make sure that his brother only cared about him.

"Sensei.." whispered Ruby as she put her phone on the bed roughly. "You promised me, didn't you!" ruby shouted half.

His hands were shaking his head violently. Goro's promise to Sarina still continues to be billed by Ruby, though it always feels like the same answer was given by Aqua. Hope Ruby never got rid of to keep having her brother for herself.
