III- A helping hand
Ran felt a light hand tapping his shoulder and he opened his eyes, awakening from his sleep.
"Feeling better?" asked Aya, smiling at his brother.
"Yes, thank you," replied Ran. Remembering how and why he ended up sleeping in his sister's couch made him want to cry again, but at this point, he was sure he had no more tears left to shed.
"Here," she said, handing him a cup of hot tea the redhead accepted eagerly. Then, she sat beside him and both remained silent for a couple of minutes until Aya spoke again:
"He called; he was worried when he didn't find you at home," and just like the girl had expected, his brother tensed and his jaw clenched; nevertheless he said nothing.
"I know it's not my business, but I think you should talk to him and be honest," Aya said, looking at him caringly. Ran looked away pretending to be angry; however, he acknowledged he owed the other man at least that.
Aya stood up to brew some more tea; yet, before the water even boiled, she heard her brother leave the apartment and a smile appeared on her lips.
Since I did Crawford's take on my last drabble, I decided to write something about Ran's actions and this is what came out. Hope you like it.
