I know that you're afraid
I'm gonna walk away
Each time the feeling fades
Each time the feeling fades
I know that you're afraid
I'm gonna walk away
Each time the feeling fades
-Bad at Love Halsey
Yusei winced as the sun's rays of light hit his face. He opened his eyes and sighed. For a second he was confused as to where he was not recognizing the room he was in. Suddenly he realized something warm beside him. Yusei still sleepy, looked down at his chest and almost feel off the bed. Aki was cuddled up to him. She had managed to get her delicate hands underneath his shirt, against his chest. He could tell how soft and delicate her hands were against his own rough and scarred skin.
The sight and feel of an unguarded and innocent Aki wasn't exactly the reason he almost fell out of bed though. It was the fact that, she at some point in the night had managed to slip out of her large shirt and abandon it. He cleared his throat in attempt to snap out of his own shock. Aki's soft body pressed against him did him no service and his body was starting to betray him.
He tried to slyly scoot away, but Aki only cuddled in closer. She pressed her bare breasts against his arm and he almost lost it. His pants were tight and starting to get painful. He tried to move away again, but she only followed him. This occurred a few more times before he ran out of bed. He landed on the floor with a thud and groaned. Aki went down with him of course. He held his breath for a few seconds and kept his eyes closed waiting for a reaction.
For a few long seconds there was silence.
"…"
"What the hell?!" Aki finally broke the silence.
Aki woke up with a start. Only to find herself almost completely naked on top of Yusei and on the floor. Aki blushed as she felt Yusei's hardness pressed against her. Aki felt her body get hot in reaction to his body's own reactions to her. Aki wanted him. Her body yearned for him and…she hated herself for that.
"What the hell?!"
Aki scrambled to get off him as quickly as possible. She stood above him, angry and red-faced with embarrassment. Her hands on her hips as she fumed leaving her exposed to him.
"Umm can you-?" Yusei struggled to speak his throat dry with want. He avoided looking at her.
Aki finally realized what was going on with him, only after she looked down at herself. She gasped as she wrapped her arms around herself.
"Oh…my…god. Don't look!"
"I'm trying not to." Yusei mumbled.
Aki grabbed a sheet nearby and covered herself with it. She winced as her head began to pound.
"Ohh holy hangover." She placed her palm against her forehead in an attempt to soothe her headache.
However, Aki wasn't used to drinking anymore, so the pain was practically unbearable. She ignored Yusei and sat on the edge of her bed before placing her head between her knees.
"Hey are you alright?" Yusei stood above her worried.
"No I'm not alright! I'm anything but alright! First I drag you into an intricate and complicated lie. Then I drink like there's no tomorrow, because of this stupid feeling and all my stupid memories. Now I wake up with a man I barely know in my bed naked…"
"Technically you didn't wake up until we were on the floor."
Aki narrowed her eyes and looked at him annoyed.
"That makes it better how?"
"Right… well why don't we get you into a hot shower and some form of pajamas. Then I'll get you a big greasy breakfast, coffee, and some aspirin."
"I don't like coffee or pork." Aki groaned.
"Well, I'll figure something out. Come on."
Aki got up letting Yusei guide her towards the bathroom. She sat on the closed toilet seat while he turned her shower on and warmed the water up. A thought suddenly came to mind and Aki bit her lip as her face got red. Yusei turned towards her and gave her a worried look.
"Is it too hot?" Yusei asked motioning to the steaming water.
"No…it's not that. Wh-what did we um do last night?" Aki stammered.
It was Yusei's turn to feel embarrassed. He avoided looking at her innocent and worried face. The more vulnerable Aki seemed the more he wanted her. Not just for his bed, but he wanted to hold her and protect her. Maybe it was selfish of him, but he wanted her to depend on only him and look at him like he was the only man in the world. The crazy part is that he barely even knew the woman, but he just simply knew that's who he belonged to.
"So um did we?" Aki asked shyly.
"Uhh um no we didn't." Yusei had zoned out for a bit, but he could fill in the gaps easily.
"Oh." Aki sighed. Yusei couldn't tell if it was from relief or disappointment.
"Well…uh the water is ready so I'll leave you to it. I'm gonna go get breakfast started if you need anything just call for me."
Yusei moved toward the door, but before he could leave Aki spoke up.
"You know you don't have to take care of me. It's not like we're actually married. I am a grown woman you know."
"I know, but I want to."
Yusei closed the door behind him and headed to the kitchen.
Aki stood underneath the running water. The scalding hot water running down her back didn't bother her and she didn't move until it slowly started to go cold and even then she was still. The freezing water finally jolted her enough for her to move. She began to scrub her body and shampoo her hair all the while lost in thought. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door.
"Are you okay in there?"
"Y-yeah fine." Aki called back.
"Okay well breakfast is ready, so…whenever you're ready it's in the kitchen."
"Thanks."
Aki turned off the water and reached for her red towel and wrapped it around her body. However, as she did, she caught the smell of Yusei. She grabbed the towel tightly before bringing up a fistful to her nose. She inhaled him. What the hell was wrong with her?
She snapped herself out of her daze and winced, her head still throbbing. She walked out of her bathroom and into her empty room. She eyed her messy bed before heading into her closet. She had an off day for the first time in a while, so she grabbed her only pair of sweats and a burgundy cami. She got dressed fairly quickly and dried her hair using her towel. Before heading out to her dining room. There she saw Yusei reading her newspaper. She sat in front of him and bit into a piece of buttery toast with jelly.
"What's so interesting you can't seem to put down the paper, hmm?" Aki teased after a few silent moments.
Yusei finally realized Aki had joined him and he quickly tried to hide the paper behind him.
"N-nothing really."
"Yeah that's convincing. Wanna try again?" Aki was curious about his odd behavior.
"Nope I'm good."
"Lemme see it." Aki reached out to him, but Yusei pulled away.
"Well now I really want to know." Aki got up to go over to him.
"It's not important really." Yusei insisted.
Aki got an idea. She sauntered over to him and pulled his chair to face her. She then put her hands on either side of him and sat on his lap, their eyes never leaving each other's.
"Wh-what are you do-"
"Shh." Aki pressed her finger up to his lips to silence him.
She pressed her hands against his chest and slowly brought them up to his neck. Where she rubbed softly.
"Why so tense hmm?" She purred into his ear making him shiver.
"Aki..." Yusei sighed.
"Hmm? You want me to stop?" Aki teased.
In an instant, Aki felt him harden beneath her. She traced his lips with her fingertips before grabbing his chin to meet her eyes.
"N-no." Yusei choked out.
"Hmm… I won't, but on one condition." Aki got closer until their lips were a breath away.
"Anything."
"Tell me what you're hiding." Aki grazed her lips against his, but pulled back before they could actually kiss.
"You're such a tease…"
"That's my only offer." Aki said before shifting her hips a little causing Yusei to groan.
"What's it going to be, hmm?"
"I-uh…" Yusei was having difficulty speaking. Words were jumbling and swallowing is the only thing he could actually do.
"Well your loss." Aki gave him a Cheshire cat smile before climbing off him and waving the newspaper in front of him.
"Wait!" Yusei suddenly realized he'd been played.
"Aki don't get mad."
Aki stepped away from him to read the paper and froze. The front page was a picture of her and Yusei kissing and another with him carrying her.
"What the hell is this?" Aki demanded.
"A picture…"
"No not the picture I don't give a damn about the pictures. The headline! Eligible bachelor, Yusei Fudo secretly married to the elusive daughter of senator Izayoi. Why are we headline news?! Do they not have anything better to report about? Now what are we going to do? Oh my god…my parents! Oh this is a disaster. How am I going to explain this?" Aki was falling down a rabbit hole, a dark, scary, rabbit hole of panic.
"They're gonna freak. My father is going to have a stroke and…I gotta go. Yeah go and explain it to them…they'll understand." Aki stumbled her way to her room completely ignoring a flustered Yusei.
In a second, she had her shoes and hoodie on. She grabbed her keys before remembering that Yusei was her ride until he fixed her car.
"Dammit." She hissed.
"Problem?" Yusei smirked.
"I need a ride."
"What's the magic word?"
"Please."
"And?"
"Thank you?"
"How about sorry Yusei for being such a-"
"Don't push it. You're lucky I haven't gone off on you for sleeping with me…I mean in my bed…with me in it…not together. Oh you know what I mean!" Aki was so flustered and nervous, she couldn't get her frustration and anger out.
Yusei on the other hand, was very amused watching Aki act unlike her usual put together self.
"Stop staring and let's go…my parents are going to want to meet you…officially. And they're gonna want answers."
Yusei stopped smiling finally realizing the full extent of the situation.
"Not laughing now, huh?"
Aki's childhood home...
Yusei whistled in awe upon seeing Aki's childhood home.
"I thought our house was pretty big…this thing is massive." Yusei commented.
"Yeah massive and empty." Aki mumbled.
"What?"
"I said, stop gawking and let's go inside. My dad doesn't like it when I'm late…" Aki climbed off is runner and took off her helmet before placing it on Yusei's runner.
Yusei hurried and did the same, but Aki was already standing in front of the doors, hesitant. Yusei took Aki's hand in his before giving her a light squeeze, making Aki snap out of her trance.
"My mother doesn't appreciate PDA." Aki said before finally ringing the doorbell.
"Too bad."
Instead of letting go, Yusei wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer into his side. Aki was about to shove him, when the door suddenly opened to reveal Aki's mother.
"My beautiful rose!" Aki's mother smiled.
"Hi mom."
"Come on in darling. Welcome home."
"Thanks." Aki slipped out of Yusei's grasp and followed her mom inside.
"I assume this is him? My son-in-law?" Aki's mom gave Yusei a once over before smiling again.
"He is handsome. You are Professor Fudo's son, correct?"
"Yes ma'am." Yusei nodded.
"I suppose you're the one I have to blame for missing out on my only daughter's happiest day of her life?" She accused.
"Mom! I-it wasn't like that…" Aki tried to defend Yusei, but trailed off unsure of what to say.
"Well, so far Mr. Fudo I am less than impressed with you, but I do not hate you…yet. My little rose deserves the very best, and you certainly do not fit the profile of the son-in-law I had hoped for. Out of many successful young men I introduced to my daughter, she chose you. I hope it was not out of spite my dear."
"Mother! I would never… all those successful men were arrogant and power hungry robots. I did not marry Yusei out of spite…I married him for his heart, passion, and because I-…well I love him…mother." Aki blushed as she tried to defend him.
"Passion fizzles out darling, but I suppose since you defend him so…valiantly I will give him a chance. I just don't want you to get hurt darling. I only want what is best for you. You know that right?" Aki's mother softened her tone and touched her daughter's cheek.
"Aki is the best person I have ever met. She's kind, strong, and a very independent and successful woman. Any man would be lucky to have her and luckily I am that man. I promise to protect and care for her until the very last breathe left in my body. I just want you to know that I love her more than I could possibly love anyone in this life."
"Well, those are some nice words you put together. However, words are simply that, words. Now Aki, your father is waiting for you in his study."
"I know the way mom. Come on Yusei."
Aki took Yusei's hand in hers and guided him through the halls. When they were out of her mother's earshot she spoke.
"Sorry about all this."
"It was expected and like she said, she only wants the best for you."
"Well it's not over yet, but my father should be a little easier to convince…maybe."
Aki stopped walking once they got to a sliding door. She knocked before letting herself in. Yusei followed close behind.
"Father."
"Aki! My little rose! You never did get the concept of knocking." Aki's father chuckled from his seat behind his desk.
"I did, but I just seem to forget when I see those sliding doors." Aki said embarrassed.
"Oh is this him? Your husband? The man that finally got a ring on your finger…I have to meet him."
"Ring?" Aki whispered confused before realizing she indeed had an engagement ring on her finger.
He got up from his seat and walked over towards Yusei. Once he reached him, he held out his hand for Yusei to shake.
"Nice to meet you senator."
"Likewise. Yusei, I've meet your father on occasions…honorable man. I can only expect you are the same."
"I strive to be."
"Well, if my little rose is happy than I am happy. Will you be staying with us for the week?"
"Um. Uh." Yusei blanked.
"Oh daddy! I totally forgot! I have to cancel my vacation this week…I made a mistake with marking my calendar and I have a wedding to do this weekend. I'm very sorry! I promise I'll make it up to you and mom." Aki pleaded.
"Akiza Izayoi you do this every single time. I am an old man and all I want to do is spend time with my family before it is too late for me. One week that's all I ask for."
"B-but daddy-"
"No buts. Now you will do your wedding, because I know how important your business is to you. However, this Sunday your mother and I will be expecting you and your husband here bright and early."
"I can do Saturday… and Sunday. If I can pull it off by Friday." Aki mumbled.
"Good then I will expect you both early Saturday morning and pack hiking clothes."
"We're going to the cabin aren't we?"
"Yeah just like when you were a little girl. Now go hurry and get started with your wedding planning!"
"Great I can't wait." Aki said unenthusiastically.
Aki and Yusei said their farewells and as soon as they were outside her house she sighed loudly.
"What's wrong?" Yusei asked.
"What's wrong? Really? That was draining and on top of that I have a wedding to plan and a trip…oh no the trip." Aki groaned.
"Okay you're simply overwhelmed. One thing at a time. Let's go home-"
"No not home did you not just hear me? Wedding. Planning. Now. Office, I need to go to my office. Oh and call your friends." Aki climbed on Yusei's runner and put on her helmet.
"My friends?" Yusei stared confused.
"The blonde with the French accent…Sherry."
"Wait hold on-"
"Do you want me to plan your friend's wedding or not?"
"That's the wedding you have to plan?"
"Yes it's the only available time I have. I only get one week every 6 months off and this week just happen to have been one of them. I'm booked and I usually give myself leeway with keeping a few weeks open here and there, but I've been slammed lately. There's more than one reason why I denied the two of you when you came, okay? You simply made it easier to reject you when I caught you checking me out." Aki shrugged.
"Sorry." Yusei blushed and cleared his throat.
"Whatever. It happens. Let's go, I have a deadline to meet."
"Okay alright!" Yusei got on his runner and took off towards her office.
Aki's office…
Once Yusei had pulled up into her parking lot, Aki got off the runner and rushed into her office. Yusei pulled out his phone and called Sherry and Bruno while he watched Aki through her window. She was making phone calls of her own.
"Hey! Yuse! What's up?" Bruno answered.
"Hey man. I was just calling to see if the car we were working on was ready yet?"
"Oh Yeah the piece of junk is running smooth and purring like a kitty. Took a lot of work, but you were right Yusei, it was worth it."
"Great can you bring it to the wedding planner's office?"
"Oh this heap of metal is hers? Seriously? After the way she shot Sherry and I down, you got me to fix her car?! What the hell?"
"Just bring it down here. I'll explain when you get here. Oh is Sherry with you?"
"Yeah, she's around."
"Bring her with you."
"Why? So she strangle you with her own to hands? You might have a death wish, but I don't. Nope."
"Come on Bruno. Don't you trust me?"
"Sometimes."
"Just get her here."
"Fine I'll do what I can."
Yusei ended the call and made his was inside to Aki.
"They're on their way." Yusei announced once he saw her scribbling away at a notebook.
"Good." Aki mumbled.
"Do you need any help?"
"No uh. I got everything practically down I just need your friend's input."
"Well, I've known Sherry since forever maybe I can answer some of those questions."
"Oh yeah? Like what? Theme? Dress? Flower arrangements? Food? How many guests?
"Something French and open like the rose garden and elegant. Sherry doesn't really like puffy dresses, but she likes long, elegant, and delicate styled dresses. She'll deny that by the way. She likes baby's breath, lavender, roses, and lilies. She likes fruit and her favorite is pasta any kind really. From last time I checked, the guest list was about 30 or so guests. Oh and her colors are white, gold, and blue."
Aki wrote everything down before she stopped and stared at him.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Aki bit her lip before getting up from her desk and walking towards him. She stopped right in front of him and just stood there. Watching. Studying. After a few seconds, she pressed her hand against his chest and stopped. Her eyes concentrated on the ring from earlier.
"How did you get this on me? When?"
"Oh the ring? I put it on when I took your hand before entering your parent's house."
"Once this wedding is over…we need to talk." Aki whispered.
"Mhmm."
Aki was standing super close and Yusei was starting to feel hazy. Her hand against his chest and his heart beating fast and hard. Yusei unconsciously, started to lean down close. Aki slid her hand from his chest up to the back of his neck. Yusei and Aki moved closer to each other until they were both a breath away from each other's lips.
"Hmm great so this is why you dragged me all the way out here, to see you and queen bitch get it on?"
"Sherry!"
"Hmm."
Aki jumped away from Yusei and cleared her throat in attempt to hide her embarrassment.
"We're here Yusei. Now what's so important that you had us drive out here on a Sunday?" Sherry glared at Aki.
"Ms. Leblanc I just wanted to say it would be an honor to plan your wedding. When I last spoke to you both, you mentioned wanting to get married as discrete and as soon as possible. If it is still what you both want and will allow me to do, I can make your wedding a reality. Does this Friday sound alright with you?" Aki asked.
"…"
Sherry and Bruno looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"I understand if you do not wish me to have anything to do with this, seeing as our last encounter went…well it went. Besides I may have had some resentment towards you last time…you know for trying to deceive me, but as Yusei has gone through such lengths… I'm giving you both the benefit of the doubt and I want to extend a sincere apology…and the only way I know how to do that is to do…this for you. It has also , been brought my attention, that I am not very good at expressing myself in words, so if it is okay with you I would like to show you how sorry I am."
"And exactly, what has Yusei been doing for you on our behalf?" Sherry questioned with an eyebrow raised in disbelief.
"Sherry!" Bruno began.
"No it is totally fine. He has been assisting me with my business and also offered to help fix my vehicle, which means a lot to me. He's done more than I could ask anyone to do and for that I am very grateful. Also all his effort made me realize I was quick to reject you both and I regret that very much, but I own up to my mistakes and I set out to rectify them. So…what do you say?"
"You sure are a business woman. You don't back down easily do you?" Sherry smirked.
"Not when I set my mind on it, no." Aki admitted.
"Sherry just set your pride aside for once and for your sake and for Bruno's just let her do it. In the days I've been helping her, I've been a witness at her stubbornness and professionalism. She's the best person to count on." Yusei spoke interrupted the two's staring contest.
They both turned towards Yusei and he quickly raised both hands in defense.
"I'm just trying to help."
Bruno snickered causing Sherry to turn on him and he quickly coughed.
"I didn't say anything. Besides Sherry, I love you and if she can pull it off, then I'd be more than happy to be by your side, legally, for the rest of my days. I say go ahead, I'm more than ready." Bruno said meekly.
Sherry sighed before finally backing off and nodding.
"Okay, but make sure I don't regret this or else."
"Yeah got it loud and clear. Now I do have some questions for you both. Not compatibility questions I promise! It's obvious you both are deeply in love, that's no question. It's just wedding details like possible venues, theme, and dress fittings. I have a few options you can choose from or if you want to go shopping for one on your own it's totally fine, and guest list."
"I have a dress…" Sherry muttered.
"Great one less thing to worry about. How about-" Aki was about to go on before Sherry interrupted her.
"Surprise us."
"Excuse me?" Aki stopped shocked.
"The guest list is probably 30 or so and everyone and I mean everyone gets along, so a seating chart doesn't really matter. Yusei can work with you I trust him. The only thing I ask is not to tell us the venue until the day of…no chance of it getting leaked and all that. I have to make a few arrangements of my own, so if you and Yusei can take care of the rest, I would appreciate it."
"Wh-what about B-bruno?"
"Darling is there anything you want our wedding to have?"
"Uhh…you walking down that aisle is all I need." Bruno shrugged.
"Well, we're off oh Bruno the keys?" Sherry asked.
"Oh yeah here." Bruno pulled them out of his jacket and tossed them towards Yusei, which he caught effortlessly.
"Good night cher." Sherry waved a hand in front of the shocked Aki, who had yet to move.
"I think I broke her. Good luck Yusei."
Sherry saluted before taking Bruno's hand and led him out. Aki was still wide-eyed and open-mouthed with disbelief and shock, when they left. Yusei stood in front of her before waving his gloved hand in front of her face in an attempt to grab her attention. She stood still only muttering under her breath.
"Aki? Earth to Aki. Hello? Anybody home?"
"…ssss..urrpr…ise…me…sh…e…"
"Hey. Snap out of it, love." Yusei took off his gloves and held her face in his warm hands. He brought his face down to hers to meet her eyes that were filled with turmoil.
"Aki. It's not funny anymore, come back to me, my rose." Yusei tried to get her to focus on him, but he couldn't snap her out of it, so he did the only thing he could think of…and kissed her.
He kissed her softly and timidly at first, but when his tongue traced her lips and she gasped, he deepened the kiss. The next thing he knew, she was kissing him back shyly. He felt her hands wrap around his neck and her fingers tangled themselves into his hair bringing him closer. He stepped forward backing her into her desk before Aki unexpectedly, lifted her leg and wrapped it around his torso.
Yusei wasn't sure what was coming over them. He took her other leg and brought her up onto her desk, knocking stuff over in their haste. Aki locked her legs around his waist and took off her lover's jacket in one quick move. They finally broke apart both of them panting with their foreheads pressed together. Aki put her arms around his neck and Yusei placed his hands on her waist, his fingers teasing the exposed skin.
"A-aki?"
"Mhhmm?"
"You okay?"
"Mhhmm fine. Yusei kiss me." Aki whispered.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…" her breathing was ragged, but her hands pressed him on.
Yusei dipped his head before nipping her bottom lip making her whimper in protest. He placed small kisses alongside her jawline before placing one on the hollow of her neck. Aki gasped and raised herself to get closer. She threw her head back allowing Yusei easier access to her sensitive spot. His hands rubbed her thighs slowly and teasingly. Aki moaned when his hard chest grazed her breasts, but before they could do anything else…her phone rang.
Aki snapped out of her lust filled haze and pulled away. Yusei stepped back and grabbed his jacket off the floor before picking up the rest of the stuff they had thrown. Aki climbed off her desk and began to work away, writing and speaking over the phone. Once she had hung up the phone she took a deep breath.
"Yusei a-about what w-we almost uh did…"
"Aki I'm so sorry I didn't…I never meant to uh…you know?"
"I would like you to talk to Sherry please. I need to work with her, you know? I-it's not that I don't trust you. It's j-just that I c-can't seem to control myself ar-round you…Don't think I just love to sleep around with the first guy I see! That-that's not me. W-we aren't even dat-ing let alone really mar-ried. I-I just can't be around you okay?"
"Aki…"
"D-don't…please. I-I can't I barely know you and we've already… after this weekend. We'll be even and I can come up with an excuse a-and you can go back to your most eligible bachelor life."
"What? I don't want that…you can't possibly want that."
"No? How would you know? Y-you know everything Sherry likes, dislikes, and loves. H-her favorite color, flowers, and dresses…you know every single detail that matters about her. What do you know about me, huh?" Aki asked.
"Roses you love roses. You are kind and generous…stubborn and beautiful inside and out. You're right I don't know every single detail about you, but I want to more than anything I want to."
"Wh-what is it, Yusei? What really bothers you so much about me that you don't want to let me go? Is it my business? My wealth? My family name? O-or is it something more primal an itch or an urge you can't quite scratch? My body? Is that it? You want to fuck me and then leave me….like everyone else do you want to use me? I already gave everything you asked for! I'm helping your friend like we agreed. What else do you want from me? Tell me!" Aki was holding back tears as she grabbed onto Yusei's collar and begged him.
"What happened to you?" Yusei whispered.
"No-nothing…" Aki's voice was small as she backed away from him.
"Then…is that really what you think? You think everyone who shows any interest in you wants something from you? Well I do want something else you're right. I want you. Your friendship for starters, but don't get me wrong I want everything from you. I want to hold you tight, I want to caress your cheek and kiss away your tears. I want to entangle my body with yours and wake up with you every single day. I want you to feel the same way I do and I want to spend the rest of my days along your side. Defending your honor and showing you off to the world as my wife…my real wife. I want our fake marriage certificate to be real. I want to be the father of your children and vice versa. I want to watch our grandchildren grow up and fallen in love. I want to grow old with you and be buried at your side. I want to reunite in the heavens and spend the rest of eternity together. More than anything Aki, I want you to accept me into your life and take away all of your pain and loneliness."
Aki was silent as Yusei pour out his heart to her. Until she could no longer stand to be near him. She wrapped her arms around herself and fixed her eyes on the floor before she spoke.
"I-I c-can't."
"W-what? Y-you can't be serious."
"I said I can't Yusei! I don't love you! I-I hate you! I hate everything about you! I hate your friends, I hate your optimism and I hate the way I feel about you…I can't love you I-I don't want anything from you! I don't want your friendship! I made a promise to your friend and I'm going to keep it, but don't expect anything else. Once that's over, I never want to see you again in my life! And don't worry about my parents, they can handle the truth. Now leave me alone!" Aki yelled at the floor.
"N-no I won't! Not unless you can look me in the eyes and tell me…" Yusei trailed off his words getting stuck in his throat.
Aki raised her head, her eyes glossy with unshed tears. She gritted her teeth and hissed out the words he couldn't manage.
"I-I don't love you!"
Yusei took a step back before clearing his throat.
"I see. Then I suppose I have nothing to do here." Yusei placed her car keys on her desk before turning on his heel and walking out the door.
Aki let her body fall and the tears run. Her body trembled with her sobs almost to the point of hyperventilating. She cried and screamed until her voice went hoarse and her tears refused to fall anymore.
Dun Dun daaa! Well that took a turn for the super sad ending I almost cried writing this…almost! Anyways the next chapter is going to be a rough one, so it might be a while before I post, because I wanna get it just right. Lemme know what ya'll think.
-MMXX
