"And I don't know what I'm diving into. . ." - Hanging By A Moment,
Lifehouse.
. . .
The days after the last were the same, days turned into weeks, weeks to months, months to seasons, seasons to years, three years pass of the repetitiveness of their father occasionally visiting their home, Mei spending nights in Akira's room when she was scared, to find comfort in her older brother. But there was something that happened between these visits that their father never realized. The two who only found comfort in eachother, brother and sister, related by blood, were falling in love. Neither knew that this was what the emotion was, mistaking it for just another feeling of closeness whenever they thought or were near the other, neither could have guessed.
But once people turn sixteen, they begin to notice things...a lot of things.
. . .
"Akira...Akira..." His sister's gentle voice spoke to him. He turned his head to face where the voice had come from to see her smiling warmly at him, arms open as she walked closer to embrace him...
"..kira....Akira! Please wake up, there are better ways to spend summer vacation!"
Akira's eyes opened halfway and looked at his younger sister. "Oh...Mei..."
"What is it, Oniichan?" Mei smiled at him now that he was awake. "Remembered that you promised to take your sister to the movie theater today?"
He sat upright in bed immediately. "I forgot!" He lied and began to get out of bed, putting pants and a shirt over his boxers and undershirt.
A blush tinted Mei's cheeks and she turned her back to him. She touched a hand to one cheek and blinked. Why did she feel so embarrassed? She'd seen her brother in boxers and an undershirt before. She fought the blush down and when she was sure it was back to normal, she turned around only to see him staring at her curiously, two tickets in his left hand.
Temporarily forgetting the moment before, Mei looked at her brother in half-annoyance, half-happiness. "You said you forgot!"
"You shouldn't have believed me, now, let's go!" Akira grinned and turned to leave his room, but Mei stopped him with a brush in hand. He laughed at her seriousness and sat down on the bed. "Since you reminded me, why don't you brush my hair?"
What had made him say that? Akira blinked. Oh well, it wasn't a big deal anyway.
Her dark ocean blue eyes matched the smile that formed on her lips as she effortlessly began to remove the tangles from his hair, doing her best to keep it painless and suprisingly succeeding most of the time. Akira closed his eyes and relaxed as she brushed gently, humming ever so softly the tune to her favorite song. After awhile, he felt the brushing cease and opened his eyes, standing up.
"Now. Now we're ready to go." Mei looked up at him cheerfully, took his hand and led him to the entrance of their home, stopping so they could put their shoes on and then let him lead on the way to the movie theater.
As they walked, Akira looked at his sister through the corner of his eyes. Her hair still matched his own, long and silky black, though slightly shorter and neatly kept. Her eyes were a dark shade of ocean blue, unlike his own, being more like the dark midnight blue of the night.
Meanwhile, Mei was happily embracing the fact that she was going somewhere with her oniichan. When they turned the corner and were nearing the movie theater, Akira looked at her. "What movie do you want to see?"
"I don't know...how about we pick when we get there?" Mei answered. Akira nodded and they continued.
