Kara is cooking while the lazy cat is in the counter watching her.
Akira's soft hair are lying in the counter cold tiles while his cheek is feeling the tiles coldness. He is grinning.
Looking at his peaceful appearance, Kara cant help but smile.
"Aki, can you help teacher get the plates?"
"You are not my teacher." Akira sits up properly and pout but he then goes and take the plates.
"What is for breakfast? Just so you know, I dont like tomato."
"Tomato huh. I dont want to add some but I guess Ill put some on the scramble egg."
"You!"
"Once you got used to it. It wont be that bad." Kara said smiling.
Akira looks away. But when she is not looking he smiles.
'I always like tomato.' He thinks in his head as he saw how Kara puts more tomato in the scarmble egg.
Kara only realize that she got fooled by this huge kid when he starts eating all the scarmble egg with tomato in a hurried way.
"I wont take it. Eat slowly. If you like it then just tell me. Do you really have to lie?" Kara thinks that is funny. He snorts and look away.
She reaches to his silky like hair and softly comb in with her finger.
"If I eat tomato. Can my hair grow this soft?" She said as if being fascinated.
Akira is looking at the girl while chewing.
"You like it that much?" He asks.
"Yeah. A girl's dream come true. If I can obtain such hair. Ill be super beautiful!" She said grinning.
"You are beautiful."
"Sorry, I didnt hear you. Can you repeat that after I got my phone to record it?"
"Idiot! I said you are an idiot!"
"Dont say that Akira. My heart will get broken to pieces!"
"Then get broken!" He said as he stands up to leave.
He is done eating.
"So fast!" Kara is amaze how he swiftly eat his portion.
But then grin after awhile.
***
Akira is watching tv when Kara finished washing the dishes.
Akira moves a bit when he saw her coming giving her space in the sofa.
Kara sits down while sighing.
"Life here is good. Im having a good life." Kara said looking at the high ceiling.
"Then stay here." Akira said.
"I cant, idiot. I want to see everyone else."
"I am not enough?"
"Oh..Who is this cute little child? Do you want big sis to hug you?"
"Who is older? I am not a child!" Akira angrily glare at Kara.
Kara grins and she leans her body to Akira.
"Aki,once we leave this place. You will not be the same Akira. But...I will still thinks of you as my elder brother. So dont think badly of me once you regain your memory okay?"
"What are you talking about? I wont hate you. You cook me nice food. You are kind to me and you..."
"Hmm?"
"You are my little sister. I will treat you like how I treat Ayi so dont worry. Just dont treat me like a kid!"
"I cant do that. You are a cute huge child in my eyes."
"You really anger me the most!"
"Ehehe.. I hope...you wont forget what you told me today. Oh...hmmm...Forgetting is the normal thing in this house. Shit Im feeling gloomy. Kiss me Akira!"
Akira kisses Kara's forehead.
"There. Feeling good?"
"Kiss me in the lips. You are so unromantic."
"Brother and sister dont kiss in the lips."
Kara smiles wryly.
"Oh. They do. I always kiss my brothers in the lips. Sometimes we even use our tongue."
"Huh? How do you use tongue in kissing? Are you sure its not licking?"
"Ahahahahaha... Forget it. My innocent Akira is the best cushion."
Kara said hugging him.
"You talk so many nonsense." Akira said in a huff but he still lets her hug him while he pats her head.
"A grown up me should be kissing and making love. Instead Im being treated as a child. Even the world is too much to a child me." Kara said.
"Stop talking nonsence. You arent even old enough to hold hands with a guy." Akira said reprimanding her.
Kara giggles.
She's already an old witch though.
***
Kara opens her eyes and all her muscle is aching.
She sleeps in the sofa.
Blinking her eyes she looks for Akira's shadow but he is no where.
She doesnt remember at what time did she feel asleep.
Yawning and stretching her arms.
"Aki.."
She starts calling.
Sob.
Sob.
Kara's heart palpitates.
"Damn, I dont believe in ghost!" She said getting creepy.
Sob.
Sob.
Kara looks around and find Akira in front of the sink. The water is running. While Akira is unmoving.
"A...aki?"
When Aki look at her she almost screams.
Good thing she didnt.
Akira is crying but he is trying not to cry loudly.
He is holding his palm in the running water.
"What happened?" Scared at how pale Akira was she gets closer.
There is a bloody mess in the half chop vege.
She got an idea but she got startled at how badly Akira hand's wound.
"You idiot! What are you trying to cook? Yourself!"
"Shut up! I know Im in the wrong!" Akira try not to leak the squeking sob.
"Hurry. Ill treat your wound. Come with me."
After putting some anti bacterial cream she found in the medicine box. Kara clumsily put a bandage on it.
"Im not an expert. Dont laugh." Kara pouts.
Akira is still teary eyed but he can laugh a bit and look at his wrapped hand.
"Its like a boxing gloves." He said.
"Its not! Dont exaggerate." Kara angrily stands up.
"Kara, are you mad?"
"I am but its not like it can be helped now. I beg you, next time just wake me up if you are hungry."
".....next time I will just wait for you to wake up."
"Listen to me when Im talking to you! Just wake me up. Im not that hard to wake up."
"But..."
"No buts."
"Kara, I want to eat chicken."
"Yes. Yes. Im on it so stay put,okay."
Akira nods.
When Kara lefts Akira starts tearing up. Sobbing quietly.
It hurts.
The pain is throbbing.
"Aki, the food is done." Kara place her hand on Akira's cheek.
The guy has a red eyes and red nose. It means he has been crying. Akira smiles at her.
"Im sorry Aki."
"Kara, listen. I made a song. I made it while you are cooking."
"Hmm? What is this about? Yesterday you make me sing. Now you made me a song. Akira is really so adorable."
"Hmp! Listen to me."
"I am. My ears are yours."
"....Ears only?"
"Huh?"
'Ka-ti-ri-na, Ka-ti-ri-na.
Stay with me.
Be with me.
I will always hug you,
I will always love you,
All my Day.
All the way'
The two ate slowly as they talk about funny things.
Even a little, Akira forgets the pain in his hand.
A/N:
Are you sleeping, Brother John.
That is the tone of Akira's cute song for Kara.
I am playing 'Cooking Madness 2019'
Its getting harder but its fun.
