Chapter 4: A New Ride
"Well, now that Misaki is living with us, she's gonna need a room." Aichi's mom started, "Can you share your room with her Aichi? You used to share it with Emi and her room can't accommodate to two people." Aichi's heartbeat sped up as the words left his mom's mouth. "Eh, don't you think it's inappropriate for a guy and a girl to share a room?" Aichi asked, blushing but silently hoping they could share the room.
"I have to admit I don't feel comfortable, but Emi's bed is too small for either of you so neither of you can take her room while the other sleeps with Emi." Aichi's mom said with a shrug and added, "Now help your big sister move her stuff to her new room and let her sleep on the bed if she wants to. Better yet, let her have the bed Aichi, you can sleep on the pull-out bed."
Aichi lugged Misaki's luggage and led Misaki up the stairs to his room. "Your new room Misaki!" Aichi announced proudly as he set her luggage on the floor of his room, "Nothing much but I only used to share it Emi… So yeah…" Misaki examined his, or rather, her new room and poked around while Aichi stood in the doorway and stared and her body from nearly every angle. He found her very attractive and didn't look away as she turned around and caught Aichi staring at her. Misaki blushed slightly when she realised but tried her best not to let it show on her face, even though she felt her face burning up.
"It's not bad Aichi, and you do a good job at maintaining your room." Misaki said, smiling nervously. Aichi looked up an look straight into her eyes and froze. The two locked eyes and stood there for a long moment before Aichi's mom interrupted them, "Aichi, stop standing around and help Misaki unpack her things!" Aichi snapped back to reality and blushed deeply and started unpacking Misaki's luggage. Misaki was about to help when Aichi's mom strolled into the room, picked out a pice of night wear for Misaki and brought her out to have her bath.
Misaki was inwardly groaning as Aichi's mom, now her foster mom, dragged her to the bathroom to take a bath. Aichi did not know how to sort a girl's clothes, so he took every piece of clothe out, laid it on his, now Misaki's bed, and decided to sort them by day or night wear. After a painful 10 minutes of guessing, he finally separated the clothes into two distinct piles and started hanging them up in his, now his and Misaki's, cabinet. It all fit nicely as he used to share this cabinet with Emi as well. So, in fact, there was more than enough space for both their clothes. He pulled out the pull-out mattress and went to the store room to get a spare set of pillow and blanket that Aichi never knew how they got there
