When You Bloom

a/n: if it's italicized then it's thoughts and not said out loud and if it's underlined and italicized Babbit's saying it! Also if it's underlined (only) Miri or Sana is writing it down in her notebook!

Previously in Chapter 8:

"Hey… At least tell me where you're going, because when I told you I missed you when we first met back with each other, I meant more than just 'miss'… I meant…" Akito grew quiet, not looking back at Sana as his hand dropped.

Just then Rei stepped out onto Akito's balcony…

Chapter 9:

"S-Sana! … Akito? H-how did you get there?" Rei paused for a moment and then looked at Sana, "Sana, I won't let you leave. You're mom won't. Asako won't. Akito doesn't want you to leave either, so don't go."

Sana looked at Akito, who was looking away into the sunset.

"But…" Sana started, "WHAT ABOUT ARUTO?!"

Rei, Akito, and Aruto looked at Sana; she was crying.

"Onee-chan? Why are you doing all this for me? Why?" Aruto asked tugging on her white halter dress, the one from the previous scene (a/n: 2 chapters ago?).

"You remind me of…my friend…You're almost going through the same thing as my friend did, so I…I… wanted to help you. But you're also special to me, even though I've only known you for a little while, so that's w-why," Sana stammered as Akito stared at her.

She's always like this... Did she really, no, does she really only think of us as… friends?

"She's… talking about me," Akito said looking at Aruto and Aruto alone.

Rei looked at Akito, then at Aruto, and then back at Akito.

"W-what? Aruto's like Akito? Really?" Rei asked, still partially confused.

Wow…he hasn't noticed?? O.O

"Sana, if you're going to adopt him… doesn't he need a dad?" Akito asked, turning around and scratching his head lightly.

"Huh, I never thought of that! Now, let me see, who wants to be Aruto's dad?" Sana tapped her chin with her finger.

"Onee-chan, I think that Onii-chan wants to be my dad, because if he's the dad and you're the mom that means you two have to be married," Aruto stated, smiling mischievously.

Sana's and Akito's faces flushed at the same time, staring at Aruto.

"That's not true!" Sana squealed her face still as red as a tomato.

"Right…" Aruto smirked and then started laughing out loud, "Both of your faces are a really, really bright red!"

Akito and Sana looked at each other and then started laughing themselves.

"Your face is soOoOoOoOo RED!" Sana laughed pointing at Akito's face,

"Look in the mirror! Your face is just as red!" Akito said pinching Sana's cheek and laughing.

Aruto just sat to the side and watched Sana and Akito play with each other.

Aruto? Did you plan this? (Aruto:)Um…duh? (Babbit:)O…

After a few minutes of messing with Akito (and a little flirting), Sana twirled in her dizziness and insaneness, something she hadn't done in a really long time.

"THAT WAS SO FUN!" Sana yelled again falling down to the ground, on top of the already tired Akito.

Akito was sleeping soundly, not even noticing that Sana had fallen on top of him.

Then Sana drunk with excitement, looked at Akito, blushing even more, and brushed her lips against his.

"I love you, Akito…" Sana fell asleep, smiling and giggling in her sleep.

"O, so Onee-chan did like Onii-chan!" Aruto laughed, waking up Akito.

"Will you be my dad?" Aruto laughed and then pointed at Sana, who was asleep on his lap.

"Ah! W-we didn't do anything right? Right?" Akito whispered, looking at Sana, wide-eyed.

"No! You do have perverted thoughts… you guys just turned back into three years olds. Well, only mentally… Sana got so tired that she fell asleep, but you dropped first. It was so funny, it was like you two were newly weds!" Aruto said cracking up.

Aruto started rolling around on the ground, laughing hysterically.

"N-newly-weds? You're joking…we're not married…but it's not like I don't want to get married later. But we're too young." Akito started laughing, trying to make himself stop thinking if there was a chance that Sana loved him back.

"Hey, Akito-Onii-chan, guess what Sana said right before she fell asleep… She said that she loved you and she…kissed…you," Aruto whispered into Akito's ear.

Akito's face just looked at him as his face gradually flushed a bright red.

"What? Are you sure she wasn't, I don't know, drunk or something? Because that's insane, I mean, I haven't seen her for like 3 years! How can she still love me?" Akito brushed his fingers against Sana's warm skin.

"Um…because she does like you!" Aruto said bluntly, because it was obvious.

Sana yawned, and started to wake up again…

a/n: hopefully this was a good chapter… I hope ya'll liked it!
