Headaches of the Heart Pt. 3
Aichi was in a dilemma. In the last two nights, he has had sex with Misaki, his crush and now girlfriend, and Kourin, the middle child of the Tatsunagi sisters and one of Misaki's rivals. He knew he had to be honest with the former, but he had no idea how to approach it. He thought hard about it on his way to Card Capital. Hopefully, Shin wasn't there to find out about his and Misaki's time.
He saw the sign and walked towards the shop. He couldn't ask his friend Toshiki Kai as he figured he wouldn't be much help in this department. He also knew he couldn't rely on Morikawa because he would just be even more annoying than usual. And then there was the rest of the gang. The only one out of them all that would be of any help was Misaki and that was the one he was going to have to tell about his night with Kourin, which brought him back to square one. He was getting a headache just thinking about it.
Aichi opened the door and saw that Shin wasn't in. In fact, the only ones in the shop were Kai & Morikawa, who were having a Vanguard battle, Miwa, and the rest of the group. He saw Misaki at the counter reading a book as usual. She turned her eyes at Aichi's direction and gave a blushing smile to him. She saw that he was looking more nervous than he usually does, so she put the Assisticat on the counter, her signal that she knew this was a private matter. "Stay," she whispered to the cat before beckoning Aichi to come with her.
They entered her room after a minute. "Aichi, what's wrong? You look a little more…Aichi-ish…than usual," she said, trying to cheer him up. He gave her a slight smile in response before taking a deep breath.
"Misaki, I don't know of any other way to say this, so I'll just come out and say it. Last night, when you had me clear the air with Kourin about our love-making, I wound up having sex with her as well," he said, shocking Misaki. "I honestly didn't want to do it, but she insisted. She even put her breasts on my back and kissed my neck. Heck, there was also her voice. I didn't know what to do!"
Misaki hugged Aichi, which shocked him. "It's okay, Aichi. I know about your sense of loyalty. I also know how timid and easily persuaded you are. Now let me ask you something," she said with her lips close to his ear. This caught his attention. "Did you enjoy it?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"W-What!?" he stammered.
"Not so loud. I asked you if you enjoyed the sex you had with Kourin." Aichi was a bit frightened by Misaki's relaxed attitude. "I want an answer, Aichi. I don't want to end this relationship already. It's a simple 'yes-or-no' question. Did you enjoy it?"
"W-Well I hate to admit it, but yeah I kind of did," Aichi answered after a bit.
"That's better. At least you're honest with me. I'm glad we're still together. Now I'll have to talk to Kourin about this," said Misaki.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
At the end of the day, Misaki and Aichi closed down the shop. It turns out that Shin was gone for a couple more days on his business trip. Aichi decided to head home while Misaki paid a visit to the PSY Shop's managers, or more specifically Kourin. She got there and saw that they had the same hours as Card Capital. "Damn, they're closed. I guess I'll just have to find her someplace else," she said.
Misaki looked around the mall and saw Rekka and Suiko getting food and bringing it back to the shop's back entrance. "Rekka, Suiko," she said, catching their attention.
"Oh it's you, Misaki. I guess you closed up shop too?" Suiko asked.
"That's right. I need to speak to Kourin about something."
"Oh boy, I can't wait to hear what this is all about," Rekka stated.
"What I have to talk to her about is private. You know, as in none of your business."
"Which means it's regarding Aichi, doesn't it?" Suiko asked, shocking Misaki. "I should've figured that's why you're here. I mean, why else would you want to talk to Kourin. She's at home if you want to come with us." Misaki nodded immediately.
They got back to the PSY Shop and Suiko pointed at Kourin's door. "Kourin, it's Misaki. I want to talk to you," she said. After a bit, Kourin opened the door and saw Misaki standing in the doorway. She leaned against the doorframe and crossed her arms. "In private. I don't want your sisters hearing a word of this, especially Rekka."
"Very well. Come in," Kourin said. The model guided Misaki into the room and she picked up a pleasant scent.
"It smells like Aichi in here. I knew he was telling the truth," Misaki said, breaking the ice.
"So he told you, I take it? How did it go?"
"Yes, and it went quite well, thank you. I knew Aichi had his loyalties, even to the point of where he would've avoided sleeping with you if he was given the chance. Sadly, you didn't give it to him, but you did put him through a test of honesty," Misaki explained.
"And how did he do on that?"
"He stammered for a little bit, but he passed with flying colors."
"I suppose that heats up this rivalry," Kourin said dejectedly.
"No. Quite the opposite, in fact. Aichi's going to have two women. We just need to make a scenario using the rivalry to pull a surprise on him," Misaki said. This peaked Kourin's interest.
"What have you got going on in that pretty little head of yours?" the model asked, getting a sly grin from Misaki. This only meant that Misaki was up to something devious.
Aichi made it home and saw that his mom and sister made dinner for him. He saw a bunch of balloons and a vase of flowers on the table as well. He was about to ask what it was about until they came out and yelled 'SURPRISE!' "Uh…" he began before being interrupted.
"We just wanted to congratulate you on finding Emi a big sister, Aichi," Shizuka said.
"So who's the lucky girl?" asked Emi.
"Wait a minute. How did you know about that?"
"Well Shin called. It turns out that he didn't leave for the business trip like you thought he did. He figured out from a conversation you had with Misaki that you slept with someone. He just didn't know who. So who is it?"
"Well you're probably going to kill me if I say it…" Shizuka and Emi listened intently. "…but it was two girls in the last two nights. The girls were Misaki and Kourin," Aichi said, surprising his family. "Uh…surprise."
After a few seconds, Emi was the first to recover from her shock. "You mean I get two big sisters? Yay!" she exclaimed.
"Heh, I guess this night's just full of surprises. I suppose that isn't a complete shock. The next thing you know, you'll be getting to sleep with Asuka."
"Yeah right, Mom. She's hooked on Ren," Aichi pointed out. "He's just too dense to figure it out. Besides, I've decided that I wasn't going to sleep with any other girls than Kourin and Misaki."
"Can you at least tell us who your first was?" Emi asked.
"It shouldn't be any of your business, sis, but if you must know, my first was Misaki." This excited Emi even more as she knew about the crush Aichi carried for the purple-haired girl-turned-woman. Kourin was an added bonus. The downside is that if Aichi married both girls, Emi would have Rekka as a sister-in-law as well. She didn't really mind Suiko.
Shizuka came back into the room (Aichi and Emi didn't even know she left). "I just spoke to Shin about this and he said that he was actually excited for all three of you. He'll organize a private wedding for you to marry them, Aichi." Aichi just stood there for a bit before fainting. Emi looked at him concerned. "Well, I guess he was so excited that he couldn't stand," Shizuka joked.
An hour later, Aichi woke up feeling an ice pack on his head. Once his vision cleared, he saw Misaki, Kourin, and Emi with worried looks on their faces. "Misaki? Kourin? What are you two doing here?" he asked. The three girls sighed in relief. "Wait, did Emi call you two over?"
"That's right, Aichi. She really loves her big brother," Misaki pointed out.
"I heard about the double wedding that Shin has organized. I didn't want you to faint on us like you did earlier. We'll help you avoid that in the future," said Kourin.
"Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without any of you." Aichi received a kiss from both girls on the cheek. "Now that I think about it, I think I am going to enjoy this," he said.
Two years later…
Aichi's double marriage to Misaki and Kourin is still going strong, despite Kai stating that it would hit rock-bottom. As a result, Card Capital and PSY Shop joined in a partnership, which resulted in the original site for the PSY Shop to close down. Believe it or not, the Tatsunagi sisters were actually enjoying working there. Elements from the PSY Shop were incorporated into Card Capital as well. Kai and Miwa were also enjoying their matches even more due to the fact that Morikawa was instated in a mental institution after hearing about the wedding.
Aichi had two children with each of his wives. From Misaki, he had a boy named Himura, who had his mother's hair and his father's eyes, and a girl named Yumi, who was the opposite with Aichi's hair and Misaki's eyes. Kourin gave him two little girls named Jackie, who had her blond hair and Aichi's eyes, and Rekka, named after Kourin's little sister. This Rekka, though, had, like Yumi, Aichi's hair, but Kourin's eyes. One could also tell who little Rekka's favorite aunt was.
Misaki was managing the counter while her shared husband was playing a Vanguard game with Miwa. Shizuka was babysitting Himura while Emi looked over Yumi. Suiko volunteered to take Jackie, which left Aunt Rekka with little Rekka. Kourin came in and greeted Misaki with a smile, which was returned. They looked towards Aichi and saw that he won his match against Miwa. "Wow, Aichi looks happy," Kourin commented.
"Of course he does. That's the tenth win in a row he's had against Miwa," said Misaki. "And I believe I'm ready for another kid, if only to get Shin and the cat here to babysit."
"Meow," said Assisticat after hearing that. Misaki just petted him.
"Yeah I'm talking about you. You've got to babysit sometime you know." Aichi approached them after a bit.
"Well it's almost closing time," he said. "I think we better load up the kids and the Assisticat and head home."
"Good idea," Kourin said.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow," Aichi said to the others. Yeah, Kai was wrong. Aichi was having a good married life.
PART 3 END
THE END
I got a couple of requests to load up the final part and it's been bugging me, so I thought that I should see what I could do to put this story behind me. I'm glad I did. Again, I had to give Assisticat some personality because I'm a cat person. I also hope you liked what I did to Morikawa; in my honest opinion, he deserves that because he's an egotistical moron.
