Blurred

Chapter 51

It's finally time to return and head for the station. Iwasaki and Kei are waiting in front of the agency in front of the same car that drove you the day you arrived in Kyushu. You didn't see it immediately but those two felt different than yesterday. Plus, he has his arm around her shoulders and her head is slightly tilted to his—Oh, my God they are finally together.

You give Kei a look, while eyeing Iwasaki, that basically says are-you-two-finally-dating.

"You can verbally ask, you know?"

"Is that so, Sherlock?" You smile to emphasize your sarcasm and let out a sigh. "So, you and Iwasaki...?"

"Yes," Iwasaki looks at him and smiles, holding his hand around her tight. "Turns out he only needed-"

"I don't think!" Kei shouts. "She needs to know."

"And you just exposed yourself because that wasn't what I was going to say." Can you love her more than you already do?

"Okay. I got the point, though, no need for details." You say, shaking your hands. "At least it's finally official."

You're happy for them. And Kei looks happy too; you can tell from the way he looks at her. He smiled like a fool before but now that he has her, he's different. Because before, he simply had her in his life and now he can call her hers.

"Yeah," She says, kissing his cheek and the action of affection made smile. "Oh, there is Tokoyami. Shall we go?"

You nod. You hate that you have to say goodbye to Kei and the worst part is you can't hug him because no one except Iwasaki knows you are siblings. It'll be weird to hug him out of the blue.

He kneels on one knee and ruffles your hair with a warm smile spread on his lips. And you... "I'll miss you." You whisper as you can barely hold your tears back.

"Aw, don't make such a face, kid. You'll definitely see us again." He stood up, grabbing your suitcase with your hero costume in it and handing it to you. "Come on, you don't want to miss the train."

You actually do want to miss it. You want something to happen so you have to stay one more day here. You're probably being too dramatic but you finally found him and now you can't even see him at least once a week.

You get in the car and drive off, looking outside as the buildings pass one by one. You didn't want anyone to notice but you can't help it. You'll really miss him and Tokoyami has surely caught on, you're expecting him to ask you about it on the train.

You can't say anything to him, though. At least, not yet and the worst part is you can't tell Katsuki either but...you trust him.

"Stay safe, you two. I hope to see you again soon." Iwasaki said. You both waved at her and turned to leave, when she grabbed your arm and gave you a note, pressing her index finger on her lips making a "Shh." You hide it in your pocket and decide to read it once you've sat on the train. She gives you a quick hug and winks with a smile. "Oh, and call me Asami."

You smile back with a nod and jog to catch up with Tokoyami. He helps you with your luggage and you sit down to your booked seats.

You lie, saying you're going to use the restroom after some time the train has departed. You stand in the empty area of the train which is near the doors and take out the note to read it.

"I'm sorry, my baby sister. You have no idea how badly I wanted to hug you, and I know I will regret not doing so as I'll be staring at the car driving you away from me. Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon. But I need you to do me a favor. Once you arrive home, you will call him, text him, or go to his house, whatever it is, and you'll tell him how you feel. I realized you were right, and I should've told Asami how I felt from the start. Even though she was the first to confess. If you don't tell him, trust me, you'll regret it. As for Hina, I promise I'll find her and try to make things right. You're not aware of this, and neither of us mentioned it last night, but Hina was and most likely still is in love with Touya. He meant everything to her, and I ripped her last hope of happiness apart in the cruelest way possible. I know I was a kid, but I'll never forgive myself for acting so selfishly. Nevertheless, if there's even a remote chance she'll forgive me, I'll fight for it. I'm promising you this and I want you to promise me you'll do what I asked. Until we meet again, please be safe. I love you, angel. -Kei."
