Akira's POV
I can't believe we're seriously arguing over this.
This is a conversation I never thought I'd ever have with Suki.
Now we're just sitting here in silence as I cook.
"Hey babe, sorry about that. Fucking work."
"It's okay. You hungry? It'll be ready shortly."
"Sure." He kisses my head as he goes to pour himself a cup of coffee, "You're being awfully quiet, Suki."
"Just not used to seeing you guys like this. But it's nice. I'm happy for you guys."
***
The rest of the morning didn't consist of much.
Suki and I barely spoke. She went out to run "errands" after breakfast, and I haven't seen her since.
Dabi had to leave for work, but he invited me to the house for a party tonight.
Not that I was really in the party mood, but maybe seeing all of them will be a breath of fresh air from my own friends.
He didn't mention if Keigo was going to be there or not. And to be honest, I was too afraid to ask. I don't think I'm ready to see Keigo just yet. I have to tell him that Dabi and I are official now... and I'm not sure on how he's going to take it. If someone I was just with told me they couldn't be with me and then went and got with the girl he told me not to worry about, I'd murder someone.
But Keigo isn't like that. He's never once let his emotions get the best of him. At least not around me. He's always so calm, and level-headed. And besides– I don't really think he was expecting a relationship between us, anyway.
I just hope that things between him and Dabi stay okay.
***
"So, you guys are really not talking to each other?"
"I guess not. I don't have anything to say to her."
"Don't be so hard on her. She made a mistake."
I glare at him, "Daichi, she literally tried to hookup with someone else right before hooking up with you. Doesn't that make you mad?"
He shrugs his shoulders, "Suki doesn't owe me anything. And the same goes for me. We both know that. It's not like we've ever been exclusive enough to tell one another not to sleep with someone else."
I groan, "Whatever."
"Speaking of being exclusive..."
Oh, boy.
"You're really dating Dabi?"
"Yeah."
"Like... actually? Boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes, Daichi. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp."
He scoffs, "Yes, it is. I mean, of course you guys have always had something going on. I couldn't believe it when I found out at the dinner, and it's still hard to believe now. I just never thought you'd go for someone like him."
"Yeah, well neither did I. It just... happened."
"Mom and Dad are going to kill you if they find out."
"They won't."
"How can you be so sure? The paparazzi are everywhere. You guys are bound to get caught eventually."
"We'll be careful. And besides, I don't really give a shit what they say. They can't forbid me to see anyone."
"Uhh... have you not met our parents?"
"I don't care. Nothing could ever stop me from being with him."
I really don't. My parents should try and stop me. I dare them.
Daichi sighs, "But why him? When you have so many other guys you could be with. I mean, what about Haru?"
"Haru is my ex. Even before Dabi... I didn't see us getting back together. We're better as friends."
"I just don't think he's right for you."
I scoff, "Okay, Mom. The hell has gotten into you? Why are you so against this relationship?"
"Look, you're my little sister and I love you. I'm just looking out for you."
"Well, don't. I can take care of myself."
"You don't know the kind of guy he is. What he does for work. It's... rough shit, Akira. He's a criminal."
I let out a sardonic laugh, "Did you really think I wasn't aware of that? I know exactly what he does. He's told me everything."
Daichi's scrunches his brows in confusion, "And you still want to be with him? Are you fucking insane?"
"Maybe I am! But if being with him makes me the craziest person in the world, then so be it! He makes me happy, D. Happier than I've ever been before. We've already been through so much together... I couldn't imagine my life without him now."
Daichi's sighs and shakes his head in response, as his eyes met with the ground.
"You shouldn't be with him."
"I don't care what you think. Nothing you say could ever change the way I feel about him."
"Why not?"
I hesitate before speaking, "Because I'm in love with him."
Love.
That's the first time I've ever said it.
I haven't even admitted it to myself yet.
But just now, when I said those words... I knew it was true.
I was in love with Dabi.
Hopelessly, and endlessly, in love with him.
"Akira–"
"Just save it, Daichi. I'm in love with him. Are you really going to try and take that away from me?"
He doesn't speak for a moment, as if he's deep in thought. Thinking of what the right response to say is.
Daichi and I have always gotten along. Of course, we've had your typical sibling fights and what not when we were kids. But as we got older, we became closer. We depended on each other more than we did anyone else. We'd always have each other's backs, no matter what. We'd always protect each other.
He lets out a breath before finally speaking, "Look... I don't... I don't approve of it, and I don't trust him. But if you're in love with him, clearly you see something in him that I don't. I trust your judgement, because you've never been wrong about someone before. I just... I really... hope that big heart of yours isn't setting you up to get itself broken."
"Daichi–"
"And that's not me saying that's going to happen... god, I hope it doesn't because I really don't want to go to jail for murdering him. But if it does... you know I'll always be here for you. I may yell at you and say 'I told you so', but I'll hug you as I do. I promise, Aki."
His words nearly cause me to start crying, but I push back the tears and pull him into a hug, "Thank you. I love you, D."
"I love you, too, little sister."
