The 2/2 part… yes, this is from Akaya's perspective x)
My bad habit: forget to disclaim OTL. Akaya as well as An belongs to Konomi Takeshi, and Enchanted song as well as Enchanted cover belongs to Taylor Swift as the original song writer and Adam Young of Owl City as the cover composer.

For once in his life, he was just compelled by eyes of honey brown from a girl over there.
Never had he experienced accidental eye-staring with an eye-catching passenger before. Though, a familiar look seemed to knock his head; about her, who happened to be on the same train as him.
Tachibana's little sister?
She didn't wear that pink beret or a hair clip anymore; she let her smooth, straight hair brushed off her shoulders. Her eyes–her sweet russet eyes–were bigger and prettier, gleaming, piercing against his green ones. She undoubtedly had those curves, and as much as he wanted to respectfully lower his gaze, he couldn't help but admire them. She was stunning.
They only survived a few second before she tilted her head, letting her hair veil her ivory face. He sighed disappointingly, but then mischievously smirked. It grew wider upon realizing what she was doing.
He gazed at her even more.
Come on, when could he see her flushed face like now again? After all he had done to her elder brother and what she had done to him, he found it really funny. They once resented each other, badly. They were supposed to send death glares albeit being in status quo, especially if she knew that he was just from her school, Seigaku, to gain some info about their next match.
But this time, her stares revealed something far from anger that grew over time. It mostly was like an unknown, hidden feeling. She didn't show infatuation towards him, yet, she didn't attempt to burn him by those stares. Perhaps, she safely kept the adoration in a little space in the corner of her heart? Who knows? Or it was just him to wish.
Ah, she would deny it for sure, if it was true that she had a crush on him. Wait, crush? Ha. A girl who tried to slap him on the other day liked him? That was the most ridiculous thing that ever happened, was it not? He waved his hand in disbelief, laughing sarcastically to himself. Stupid. That definitely could not be true even in a hundred years. Right?
He paused. Despite it all, he found himself adoring her. She was sweet. Really sweet that he thought in another universe she could be some kind of sugary deity, or whatever that might be, imagination was not his strong suit. He also didn't want to compare her to any object like desserts, or ever thought of getting her like some kind of prize. She deserved better. She deserved his better self. Has he changed now? He pledged to his club, his friends, Tachibana, and her, that he would control his power. He had fulfilled the promise for two years, but did she also realize it? They barely interacted since last time they met, they were friends on social media but no more than seeing each other's updates, they just met again here on this exact train, so do this flying spark and warm blushes and racing heartbeat mean anything to her? To both of them?
Announcement from speakers about the next stop woke him up from his reverie while his eyes stand-by locking at the beauty of a certain figure. Reality hurt. They now were nothing but strangers.
As he stepped out, he watched the girl struggling with the sea of people crashed into the same direction; the opened door. She got closer, and without a second thought he grasped her hand and pulled it gently until they were outside. He didn't let her utter a single word by releasing it in time, when she was seen exiting and gasped in disbelief. He turned away.
Kirihara Akaya ran under a clear velvet sky, his curly hair billowing behind him. Twinkling stars danced above him, joining his heart rhythm to celebrate his unbelievable courage. His face was red, but not in Devil Mode. Never in that mode again.
He was enchanted, too.
I was never in love with someone else
I never had somebody waiting on me
'Cause you were all of my dreams come true
And I just wish you knew
…
Akaya sure learned a lot from Niou and Marui :P
Again, thanks for reading! I hope you like it :) it'd be nice to let me know what you think.
More love to Bakaya and Kippei no imouto pairing! *throws smoke bomb*
