A quiet atmosphere. A warm temperature surrounded the bathroom. The only sound that could be heard was the droplets of water dropping to the marble floor. However, that was enough for Aqua Hoshino, who washed and relaxed after such a tiring day.
Today was a rare day for him. Usually, he had to work until almost midnight, answer journalists' interviews, or attend gameshow for his upcoming TV schedule. But today he was able to go home early, one of the rarest opportunities that have ever occurred. Even so, it was an exhausting day, as he had to go to different places, studio after studio. Living a life of a celebrity, a rising star for the entertainment future, things like those were one of the obstacles he had to overcome.
And just before he thought his life was getting easier, that dark past had come back to strike him again…
Resurrecting as a celebrity in the entertainment industry, he only had one objective in mind: revenge for the death of Ai Hoshino. She was his mom, the one that cared for him the most. Even when she had a dark past, even when she wanted to hide her son and daughter from the public, her love for him was truthful and unconditional. Those days with Ai were the happiest days of his new life, living as the son of his idol.
… Until one day, with a stab into her chest, that man had taken Ai away from him.
Aqua still remembered that day, or more like haunted by it. He still remembered Ai's weak, cold hand caressing his face, ensuring him that everything was all right. Even when her light of life was slowly fading away, she still managed to say she loved him and he was her treasure, just before the stars in her eyes no longer shined. If he was his past self, if he was still Dr. Goro, he might be able to save her. But there was nothing else he could do. He was just a kid, a helpless kid. There was nothing else he could do than cry in his mother's lifeless arms.
Aqua stopped at nothing. He gave all he had to become a celebrity. He did all he could, no matter how hard they were, just to seek revenge, and find the man that had killed Ai, the one that he believed to be his father. That was until he found out that that man was dead. There was no need for revenge anymore. The burden of Ai's death was gone. He was set free. He could live a normal life again.
… Or that so he thought…
The truth was that the true killer, the real culprit was still alive. This hit him like a truck. While he was living a "normal life", the culprit was out there without ever being found. He still could not save Ai. His revenge was not over. He felt like everything had come back to square one. This was his responsibility, and yet his simple mind had shown him the consequences.
His world had come crashing down. Every second, he could not stop thinking about the killer, the one that took away his mother's life. He became more silent and distant. He did not interact much with his sister, Ruby, or any of his colleagues both in and out of Strawberry Production. He broke up with Akane after such a harsh conversation. After work, all he had done was imprison himself inside his room, thinking only about the true killer's location and how he would hunt him down.
Even when he and Ruby had a stay at the studio, it was difficult for him to even consider this place "home".
Now inside the bathroom, those thoughts were lingering in his mind. He liked the way it was, quiet and relaxing, allowing him to keep thinking about the revenge.
While he was closing his eyes and letting the steamy air massage him, he did not realize that there were sounds of feet stepping outside the bathroom door. The sounds got more audible, as someone was approaching the bathroom. Aqua soon heard that and turned his head to the bathroom door. The glass panel was blurry, but it was enough to see a shadow figure printed on it. A familiar feminine figure with something that looked like a beret on its head.
"… Who's there?" Aqua called from the inside.
It seemed like the figure had gotten the call. However, there was no immediate answer. The figure started turning its back to the door. It looked like it was fidgeting with something in its hands. The shadow got smaller as it got away from the door, but it soon got bigger again when the figure walked backward. After a few seconds, it turned around and faced the glass panel.
"… You're in there, Aqua?" After quite some time, the figure decided to speak, and Aqua soon realized who it was.
Kana Arima, the girl he had been dodging for a long time…
Since finding out the truth, Aqua had not talked to Kana. He constantly avoided any interaction with her, even when they had work to do outside or just simply stayed at the office together. This might be the first time she had ever said a word to him. However, still, he just wanted to keep quiet and not utter an answer to her.
It was not because he hated her…
His emotion was now a mess. He gripped the cotton of his towel tighter, while his breath was getting heavier. He took a glance at the glass panel. Kana had not left yet. He prayed that he could keep silent long enough for Kana to be fed up and leave. Knowing her, he understood that she would just stand there and wait for his answer, not wanting to go away. He wanted to shout at her, but somehow, he could not find the strength to do it. He had not locked the door, so he wanted to jump out off the stool to lock it. However, his feet felt like they were in a pit of quicksand, pulling them in slowly.
"… You know what? Forget it. I'll just-"
"Yes!"
Like there was nothing to stop him, Aqua shouted it out loud, stopping Kana from leaving. He said it unconsciously like an instinct. Soon when he realized what he had done, Aqua covered his mouth and faced away the door, before cowering himself. It felt like his brain had gone blank in just a blink of time. He could not understand why he had done that, but it was too late for him to even think about turning back time. Kana had heard it loud and clear, and even she was surprised by his action.
"… You were able to go home early today, right?" Kana asked again.
For Aqua, there was no turning back now. He could not keep quiet as he used to.
"… Yeah." Aqua gave his answer but tried to remain cold and distant. He hoped that this attitude of his would be enough to chase Kana away, just like how he had treated her in the past few days. He felt a bit guilty and terrible, but he thought that this was necessary for him to do. He just wanted to return to his land of thoughts. He just wanted to resume his thinking about the revenge plan. He did not want anyone to be involved. Not even Ruby, not even Akane…
… And especially not Kana.
He took another glance at the door panel. Kana's shadow figure had faded away, in which he thought that she was gone, surprisingly for him. However, just before he could let out a sigh of relief, what he heard next was a strange sound. It sounded like cloth rubbing on each other. It sounded like fabric being blown in the wind. It sounded like something was being dropped on the floor.
Or more specifically, it sounded like someone was discarding their clothes.
"… K-Kana?" Aqua managed to stutter. His face started burning up, as he remained frozen in his spot. He kept staring at the door in awe, desperately hoping that this was not what he thought. As he was praying himself, he saw the shadow figure start to get bigger, as shown on the blurry glass panel.
'Please don't tell me that she…'
And just as soon as his thought kicked in, the bathroom door was open, revealing no one else but Kana. However, she was not wearing anything on her body, besides the towel that she had wrapped around her.
"AHHH!" Aqua screamed just as soon as he saw the image in front of him. He immediately turned away and covered his crotch. Luckily his towel was still wrapped around his waist, so none of the parts of his private area could be seen. His face was beet red since he was embarrassed both by the sight of Kana being almost naked and he was in nothing but his towel as well. "A-Are you mad?! Why the hell do you come in here?!"
"Well, sir," Kana answered. "I've just got here from work. I also need a shower to let go of my stress, and I am certainly not gonna wait for my turn!"
"W-Why don't you just have a little manner and wait outside-"
"B-Besides, Ms. Miyako said a few days ago that we needed to save water, since the water bill was kind of scuffed… recently…"
Kana continued while leaning on the doorframe and crossing her arms, immediately rejecting anything Aqua tried to say. However, much like Aqua, she was also embarrassed herself. The fact that there was nothing else covering her bare body except her towel turned her face red.
In the other words, she did not know why she had done this. Just like what Aqua had said, she could have waited for her turn. The water bill was just an excuse. Despite that, she also felt this was something she had to do, with her actual reason not yet clear.
Aqua, although still feeling unsettled, did know that Miyako once mentioned the bills. The office now needed to cut down some expenses, and water was one of them. He started shrinking his forehead while thinking about that. Deep inside, he wanted to kick her out. But at the same time, his habit of carefully calculating his payments when he was an adult started to kick in.
And once again, Aqua was left with no other choice. With still his hand covering his crotch, he turned his head to Kana, who was waiting impatiently and tapping her index finger on her arm. The red on her face was visible, and he knew that it was not because of the steam in the bathroom. However, he did not want to point it out, since that was also the same with his emotion right now. Thus, he did not say anything but pointed at the empty stool behind him with his shaking hand.
"… Just… sit there and be quiet…"
The air between them had become silent, if not awkward. Their backs were facing each other, with only the scrubbing sounds of body wash and soap on their skins could be heard. None of them wanted to say a thing out of embarrassment. They kept their gazes away from each other… except for Kana, who sometimes took her glance at Aqua's back before instantly turning away and squealing quietly.
This was too surreal for her. When she was young, she used to watch a scene of two people of different genders bathing together, washing each other's bodies. She considered that scene to be vulgar and indecent, as each of them should not have done that together. However, that scene was being played in reality right now. Two teenagers, both with nothing but a towel on their bodies, washing in a small bathroom, and how a coincidence that she was playing the main role in it.
… However, that did not mean she was not happy with it.
For quite some time, Aqua had been avoiding her. She did not have a chance to talk to him or even look at his face. Every time she went to the office, Aqua just immediately shut himself in his room and stayed inside it while she was there. She really wanted to talk to him. She really wanted to know why. But when Kana thought she had a chance, it just got brushed away.
Was it because of Akane that he cared about more? Was it because he had a secret that he could not tell her? Was it because she had done something wrong? Or was it because he simply did not need her anymore? Whatever the reason was, there was one thing that she certainly felt back then.
She felt… lonely.
It was wrong to say that Kana had no friends. She still had the B-Komachi girls and her colleagues to talk to. However, without Aqua being by her side, and without talking with him, her life had become… empty. There were times when she tried her best to sweep her negative feelings away and just forget them. But there were nights that she could not endure it any longer and just sob in her sleep. She really wanted to accept the fact that Akane was Aqua's girlfriend, whom he had to care about more. However, if that was the reason why he dodged her, it was more difficult to take.
She was called "the child genius who would flick a crying switch". However, those tears that she had been letting out were real. No crying switch had been flicked or needed to be flicked.
This was the first time Kana had ever interacted with Aqua. And for the first time, she had a feeling of relief. His tone was cold and almost heartless, and he seemed to her that he did not bother looking at her face. But hearing his answer and his approval to let her join him in the bathroom was enough to make her happy. She knew this was nowhere near what he used to be in the past, but this was better than nothing.
'… Why the hell am I doing here?' And in between her happiness was her awkwardness, as she was still aware that she was sitting in a bathroom with a teenage boy, with only a towel covering her chest and private area. She gripped the bottle of body wash in her hands while smiling sheepishly, noticing how fruity the situation was.
"… G-Geez, today was so tiring!" Kana decided to speak first to break the silence. "You know, Aqua, my…"
"Why did you want to barge in here out of a sudden?"
Suddenly, Aqua asked back to cut her out. Kana immediately stopped her talk and stayed silent. Her sheepish smile soon turned into a frown.
"… Aqua, I'm not…"
"That water bill thing was just an excuse, right?" Aqua asked more, and this time it was like an arrow that was shot right at her blackheart. "Why couldn't you wait, Kana? Why now?"
Kana squeezed her lips tightly after he had finished his questions. She wanted to give her answer. She just wanted to say that she cared about him. However, there was something stuck in her throat, stopping her from uttering any single word.
She started gripping her towel tighter while staring at the marble floor. There were so many things running through her mind. She feared that her action could make the situation worse, as they will not ever talk to each other again. She feared that this could make him think bad about her, thus never talking to her ever again. She was scared of making their relationship worse and shall not be able to be mended. The more negatively she thought, the heavier her breath became.
Aqua, despite giving out his questions, did not expect her to answer them. That was just his way to keep the atmosphere muted. Even with the presence of Kana, he did not want to talk or interact with her. He wanted to keep the distance between them, and he wished that this "bathing session" would be over soon, so he could resume his revenge plan.
However, much like Kana, that was just an excuse that he figured out for himself. He was dodging the real reason. The reason why he kept himself distant from Kana, the reason why he did not want her to involve in his messy world. And yet, he wanted to punch himself in the guts for letting her into his life once again.
And somehow, the more he thought about Kana, the more images of Ai flashed in his head…
Aqua shook his head to let go of all those thoughts. He wanted to finish washing so he could get out of this awkward situation. He reached his hands to his sides as a habit to find something to wash his back. However, none of the body wash or even a bar of soap could be found. The situation had become more awkward for him
Knowing Kana was behind him, he glanced behind to find them, and tried his best to avoid looking at her body. However, Kana's image just kept getting into his eyesight. She still had her towel wrapped around her, but it still exposed her shoulders and shoulder blades, which turned his face back to the shade of red. He could feel his teenage hormone starting to kick in, as something was growing in him. They were in a small bathroom, in such a small space that he could see her body so clearly. Even so, he tried to keep his composure and find the body wash whereabouts.
"C-Can you pass me the body wash or the soap?" Aqua turned his back on Kana and asked, trying to keep his cold tone. "I-I need something to wash my back."
Kana had heard his question, and she was also holding the bottle of body wash. However, as her train of thought was running in her mind, it brought her to a destination that she could not believe it. Or more specifically, it brought her an idea that she knew would be too crazy to do that. An idea that could get Aqua's attention, better than just handing him the bottle.
Hence, Kana stood up from the chair before approaching Aqua. Hearing the splashy sounds behind his back, Aqua believed it was Kana behind him, bringing him something to rub his back, despite he thought she could have just slid the bottle onto the wet marble floor to his place. This was a little surprising to him since he did not know she could have such a manner.
However, the splashy sound had stopped, and before he realized it, Kana had knelt behind him, with the bottle in her hand.
"… Hey, what are you-"
And just before he could finish his sentence, he was cut out by the sudden warm sensation of Kana's hand caressing his back. Her hand started tracing down his backbone and sending shivers down his spine, making him grunt as a result.
"Oh my… What are you doing- Ahh!" Aqua managed to say something, but before he could turn his head around, another cold but liquidity feeling splashed on the other half of his back, making him drop his head backward and let out another grunt.
"Well, Aqua…" Kana cooed while squirting the thick liquid from the bottle onto her hand and clasping it with her other one. "Instead of just handing you the body wash, why don't you just let me wash your back then?"
"Just hand me the bottle- Damn it!"
Aqua tried to protest, before being attacked by another wave of cold and warm on his back. His face started burning up, as he let out another groin of ecstasy. He wanted to quickly snatch the bottle from Kana's hand, but the sensation he had been receiving was so unusually blissful that he was frozen in his spot. "Kana… S-Stop…!" He gave all his strength to protest it once more.
"Hmm…" Kana pretended like she was thinking about something. "… Yeah, Nah!" She answered with a smug on her face. "You seem to enjoy it. How could I stop, hm?"
She said it while rubbing her sticky hands on his back. She rubbed it up and down simultaneously, and sometimes in different directions with each hand. She made sure that every corner of his back was moistened. She stopped at his shoulders and traced her thumbs on his shoulder blades, admiring that he was more muscular than she thought.
"C'mon, Aqua…" Kana cooed again. "Don't tense up. You've had an exhausting day. Just let these muscles relax. Just let me massage you…"
Aqua had no choice but to let her give his back a rub. The warm and steaming atmosphere, combined with the cold, sticky liquid all over his back sent him through a dimension that he had never been to before. Kana's slender fingers traced every part of his back, sometimes a long one along his spine, giving him a sensation that he could not find the urge to reject. Aqua tried to open his mouth and tell her to stop, but as soon as his lips were just about to gape, another warm feeling knocked on his back and shut him up.
Aqua was now trapped in the world of bliss. He gripped his stool with his dear life to endure it. The thought that a naked girl with nothing but a towel massaging him was enough to make his teenage hormone take over.
And as the result, something was growing between his legs, creating a visible tent at his crotch.
"… Oh dear, Aqua…" Kana took a glance behind his shoulders and found something that interested her. "Is that what boys usually call… erection?"
"T-That's none of your business!" Aqua knew what she had seen, so he immediately covered it with his hands, hoping that it could ease down. "Just give me the shampoo and- Ahh!" However, he was cut off once again by that similar warmth attacking his back. This made his head go blank for a brief second and uncover his hands as a result.
Seeing his reaction, Kana hummed amusedly. This was the side of him that she had never seen before, so she decided to take a step further.
Letting go of his back, she took her already-prepared dipper of water and splashed some of it on his back, making him shiver more. Before he could turn around to see what was happening, she pressed her chest on his back and moved her body up and down slowly, as she wanted to rub her body on him with her towel. She was ashamed but seeing his reaction and how he desperately tried to reject it was enough to amuse her.
Aqua could not think anything clearly. He tried to think about his plan or something else to distract himself. However, the vision that a naked girl rubbing her body on his had sent him to the moon. He now felt too good to actually object to it.
He was so lost in the land of ecstasy that he had not realized her arm was slowly snaking into his crotch underneath his towel. Just right when he recognized it, Kana grabbed his swollen shaft firmly in her hand, making him let out a long grunt.
"W-What the fuck are you doing?!" Aqua scolded her. "Handoff- FUCK!" He shouted with all his might, but he got cut when her thumb began to rub on his member.
Meanwhile, Kana's mind was also gone blank. Having grabbed his stiff manhood in her palm, her face turned to a darker red. She admired how hot it was, how its heat was warming up her hand. She traced the other fingers to measure its length, and soon when they finally reached its base, she could not help but gasping herself. 'So this is a boy's penis…' Kana thought. 'It's so hard and… huge…'
Kana had not known what a male's sexual part looked like. She tried her best not to watch any AV or porn on the internet, or more like her busy schedule had not allowed her to do so. All she had heard was from her older colleagues when they were briefly talking about it that she was just coincidently there. All she could understand was it was big and hard, but she did not expect it would be this large and veiny, at least of Aqua himself.
Meanwhile, Aqua was sent over the moon. Kana's hand was still cold and sticky from the shampoo, so the remaining liquid in her hand was spreading all over his penis. The more her fingers rubbed on his shaft, the harder and bigger it got. As his manhood started twitching, he could feel something building up deep inside. His mind was so empty that he could not move his hands one bit. All he could do was drop his head backward and grit his teeth, trying to endure the sensation.
However, as soon as he thought he had controlled the situation, Kana's hand suddenly started moving and stroking him. With that, she had been awarded a loud moan from him.
"K-Kana- OH SHIT! Stopp…!"
Using all his remaining strength, he begged her to stop the stroke. However, not only it did not work, but her pace was also faster, making him let out a louder grunt. His back arched forward while his hip also thrust to the front without him noticing. His mouth started gaping and struggling to let out any vocal words. The atmosphere was getting steamier, and it was not because of the steam of the hot water. The once silent air was now filled with the squishy sounds of Kana's hand rubbing Aqua's dick.
"… Hey Aqua…" When Aqua was vulnerable, Kana took the opportunity to lean forward to his ear and whispered into it, while having her body pressed at his back deeper.
"W-What?!"
"You are feeling good, don't ya?"
"No, I'm not- FUCKKK!" Aqua was about to protest, but Kana increased her speed to shut him up, not missing a single centimeter of his length.
"Oh yes, you are…" She teased him. "In fact, I bet in your dirty mind right now, you are thinking of me… naked… with my body all soaked up… stroking this thing of yours…"
"No, I fucking not- JESUS…!"
Aqua was once again cut off when he felt something keep building up in his shaft, as it almost reached the peak of his manhood. Kana enjoyed every second of it. She was also bashful herself, her face was so hot that she almost thought she had caught a fever. However, seeing how helpless Aqua was and how he was possibly enjoying her touch without saying it made her feel joyful, too.
As for Kana herself, what she did not realize was her private area starting to get wet, in which she convinced herself that it was just because of the remaining water that she had not wiped yet.
"… Hey Aqua…" Kana whispered in Aqua's ear again. She could also hear his heavy breathing and his hot breath coming out from his nostrils.
"W-What…?"
"What if I stripped off this towel right now and ground my bare body onto yours?"
As soon as she implanted that thought into his head, it was enough to drive him crazy. His shaft became the most rock-hard it could be, while he just unconsciously laid his head on Kana's shoulder and gave up to the pleasure. Things started to swell up in his base, and he could feel that he could let go at any moment. The stroke was too unbearable to be stopped, and he had no other choice but to succumb to that.
Truth be told, Kana did not know how to seduce a male. Once again, all she knew was from a conversation that she accidentally had heard from some of her female, older colleagues. All she could understand was "just rub it" and that was exactly what she was doing right now. Even with how inexperienced she was, seeing Aqua "seemingly enjoying it" made her believe that she was doing it right.
And also just like Aqua, she felt that her flaps were getting a little itchy, like there was something building inside her, as well.
"Kana… Fuck… Stop… I'm gonna…!" Although still lost on cloud nine, Aqua still managed to gather some of his composure to say those words.
"Don't worry… Just let them out all you want…"
However, Kana did not seem to care. She whispered in his ear again while fastening her stroke. She also "helped" him aim his manhood at the towel so none of the upcoming droplets would splash on the marble floor. Aqua's moan got higher and higher until he reached the breaking point and could not endure it any longer.
"K-Kana!"
That was his last word before he lost himself in the pleasure of orgasm. He arched his back further and thrust his hip forward in one beat, letting out all his built-up juice. His semen squirted out of his tip like a flood, as he shot it right into the cloth of his towel. Kana did not let go of his penis, since she kept stroking it repeatedly, making him empty his balls and came all over the towel. Some of his man liquid dropped on her hand, which made her stunned a little because of how hot it was. Meanwhile, Aqua's mouth was gaping throughout the whole experience. He felt that he could faint at anytime soon with how strong the pleasure was.
As soon as he finished his orgasm, his body was leaned back so far that the stool slid off and made him fall on his butt. He would have fallen on his head if it was not for Kana who immediately held his back, while his arms gathered just enough strength just enough to keep him from falling flat. As he lay on the bathroom floor with his tomato-red face, his gasping mouth, and his crotch covered by a "moistened" towel, this was such a delightful scene for Kana.
As the pleasure had finally run down, Kana pulled her hand from Aqua's crotch and observed it. There was a small drop of semen on her thumb. With her curiosity taken over, she leaned her head to her thumb and started sniffing it. She knew that she could swallow it somehow, but she needed to check it again before she could do something.
'… Oh god, this thing is so smelly.' The smell of it was too uneasy for her to bear. 'It smells like raw fish, jeez…!' She quickly crawled to the nearby faucet and washed it away, hoping that its smell would not linger on her hand.
After cleaning it, Kana went back to check on Aqua, who was lying on the wet floor. His face was still beet red, and he was breathing uncontrollably. Thankfully, his crotch was still wrapped up with his towel, but as a result of his orgasm, there was a small wet patch visible on it, covering his softened dick. At that point, Kana's mind had resumed to normal, so when she saw that scene, she could not help but start panicking.
"Oh my god, Aqua, I'm so sorry!" Kana hastily apologized while holding his head up. She waved her hand in front of his face to check if there was any of his light of life left. "I'm so sorry! Are you still alive?! Please answer me!"
While she was in her panic mode, Aqua, luckily, began to blink his eyes multiple times. He let out a long grunt and used his hand to support his body up. Kana started to feel relieved, so she let go of his head, allowing him to sit up from his spot.
"Oh, Aqua…" Kana sighed. "Thank goodness you're still alive! I'm sorry for what I've done, Aqua! I was… a bit uncontrolled myself…"
Aqua, however, did not respond to her saying. This made Kana feel uneasy. She wanted to take a glance at his face, but something told her that she should not do that. The steamy atmosphere had somehow become heavier, almost unbreathable at that point. Aqua did not say anything. He just looked down at his soaked towel before looking back up, with his breath getting a bit more rapid. "A-Aqua…?" Kana uttered behind him, hoping that she could get something back from him, but there was no signal.
And after a few seconds, Aqua began to turn around, but his face freaked her out. His face was darkened, almost emotionless, with the only things visible were the black stars in his eyes. His whole body turned to her, and his eyes were staring straight at her face, making Kana feel more uncomfortable.
"A-Aqua… are you… alright…?"
Kana managed to ask in fear. Despite that, Aqua remained speechless. He slowly crawled to Kana, which she instinctively reacted by crawling backward shakingly. She tried to avoid his gaze, but it was impossible, as she just kept eyeing his darkened face. The more Aqua approached her, the more she backed down for her dear life. And soon, Kana bumped into what appeared to be a wall. The space was too small for her to escape any further. And just before she could think about running to the other side, Aqua had already closed the distance with her.
Kana felt like she was prey, prepared to get eaten by the predator named Aqua. He stared at her like a tiger staring down his newly hunted meat. His eyes were filled with anger since he was mad because of what she had done to him. His mind had gone blank, and he could not think of anything else.
He had forgotten the revenge plan. What he just wanted to do right now was give Kana a piece of his mind.
"A-Aqua… I…"
Just before Kana could say something, Aqua immediately grabbed the hem of her towel and threw it away, revealing her naked body. Kana had realized this, so as soon as her towel was removed, she instantly covered her bare chest and her private area, while letting out her squirm. She knew that Aqua could be cold, but this was also a side of him that she had not seen, and she was sure this was his scariest face.
"P-Please… Aqua… I'm sorry…" Kana uttered, begging him to stop. She was so frightened that tears had formed in her eyes. "Please… don't hurt me…"
Aqua, despite the scene in front of him, did not seem to care. His vision had gone so dark that he could not see anything well. He raised his hand, which was shaking furiously, and positioned it in front of Kana's crotch. Aqua then pulled it back a bit, preparing for a strike right into her area.
Kana, however, did not seem to move, or in the other words, she was too fearful to move, since her arms and legs had gone limb. Thus, she squeezed her eyes shut and squeezed her lips tight, preparing for her inevitable fate.
She realized she had made a mistake and she knew she had to take the punishment.
'If only… I did not do that to him…'
…
But then, just before he thrust his hand into her private place, something flashed in his mind once again…
With just a flash of an eye, he was returned to that unforgettable day, when he was in Ai's cold arms, watching his mother die slowly, with the once bright stars fading away in her eyes. And yet, she still managed to let out her final words, the words she had been keeping in her chest for far too long.
'Ruby… Aqua… I love you… Ah, I was finally able to say it. I'm sorry, it took me so long to say it…'
"… qua? Aqua…?"
As Aqua's eyes were now brimming with tears, he slowly opened his eyes. His vision had brightened again. He looked around to find out that he was still in the bathroom, but his position had changed. He looked straightforward and did not expect the view in front of him. He saw Kana cowering, covering her private body parts.
As soon as he realized what he almost had done, seeing his hand almost infiltrate her entrance, he started covering his mouth in disbelief. His head started to get dizzy, and it was like he could vomit at any time soon. Some droplets of tears started running down from his eyes. He could not look at Kana's face anymore, so he bowed his head and avoided her gaze, while his arms were supporting his body, keeping him from smacking his face on the marble ground.
Kana did not know what had happened. Her fear started to turn into confusion, before changing into concern. She thought that Aqua was trying his best to endure any pain, so she slowly approached him and proceeded to put her hand on his shoulder.
"Aqua… are you okay?"
However, as soon as she put her hand on his back, Aqua immediately smacked it away. The smack was so hard she could feel pain in her hand, but she did not mind it. What she saw next was Aqua looking back at her, with a face that she did not like at all. His eyes were filled with tears, threatening to roll down his cheeks, his nose was puffing, and he was desperately keeping his hand covering his mouth to avoid breaking down at any moment. Seeing her round eyes staring back at him just shot him with more guilt in the chest and hurt him more.
He almost did the same thing as the killer had done to his mother… He almost hurt her…
"… Kana… I'm sorry!"
That were his last words before he immediately stood up and ran out of the bathroom, running away from her, while Kana did not have any time to react or tell him to come back.
And so, it was now her alone in the bathroom, with only the steamy and quiet atmosphere. And just like every time, Aqua had avoided her once again, imprisoned himself in his room…
A/N:
To be honest, I did not expect this would take such a long time to write this chapter. I worked 2 days for it, and quite frankly, I am proud of it.
So this is the new fanfic added to the list of my works. Oshi no Ko to me is a special manga for me since it digs down one of the subjects I care about the most: media and their behind-the-scenes factors. I was also happy to find out that it is getting an anime adaptation, which I am excited about it.
This fanfic will be a 3-chapter story, and also the second E-rated fic I've ever written. It's been so long since the last time I wrote one, so I am still not sure if I would be able to nail this since the hardest part will be how I can demonstrate their emotions throughout the story. I'll give my best since I've figured out the story for this and I can't wait to show it out.
With all being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this. Stay safe and see you soon.
