Chapter 6 Talking to Miku
Ichika's POV
That Evening
I had arrived in Sekai.
When I got there, nobody was in the room.
I took a look around to see if I was alone. Once I made sure the coast was clear…I began to sing.
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
With that, I finished singing.
When I was done…I heard somebody clapping!
I quickly spun around…and saw Miku.
"Miku", I started. "You scared me."
"Sorry", Miku apologized. "That was a very lovely song. Did you write it?"
"Ah…", I started nervously. "Yeah. You like it, Miku?"
"I do", Miku replied. "I didn't know that you wrote love songs?"
After Miku said this, she seemed to realize something.
"Wait a minute", she started in realization. "Ichika, are you in love with somebody?!"
My only response was to stutter as my face turned bright red.
"Oh my goodness", Miku started. "You are! Who is it?! I wanna know!"
"I…", I started nervously, before sighing in defeat. "Alright. I'll tell you, but you can't tell Saki and the others!"
"Wait a minute", Miku started. "You're in love, and your friends don't know about it?!"
"They can't know about it", I stated. "Especially Saki!"
"Huh", Miku said in confusion. "Why can't Saki know?"
"Because…", I started nervously. "Because…the person I am in love with…is Saki's older brother."
"Wait", Miku started. "Really?"
"Yes", I replied. "Back in middle school, when Shiho and Honami suddenly stopped wanting to spend time with me, he said that he'd stay by my side until I worked things out with my friends. We spent so much time together, and before I knew it, I'd fallen in love with him."
"I see", Miku said. "Did you ever tell him about your feelings?"
"I did", I replied. "But when I did, he said that it wouldn't be appropriate for us to be together since I'm his little sister's friend."
"Oh no", Miku said. "I'm so sorry, Ichika."
"However", I started. "One day, after I had made up with my friends, I went over to Saki's house and met him there."
Flashback
I knocked on the Tenma's door…and my heart stopped when I saw who had answered it.
"Oh", he started. "Hello Ichika."
"Hello Tsukasa-San", I greeted. "Is Saki here?"
"No", Tsukasa replied. "But she should be back from her job soon. Please come in."
With that, I walked into the house.
"I will get you some refreshments", Tsukasa said.
He was about to leave, but I stopped him.
"Tsukasa", I started, getting him to look at me. "There's something I've been wanting to ask you for a while now."
"What is it?"
