The Love That She Hides ~Teiko Middle School Era~

Chapter 5: Number (Unedited)

Katsumi POV...

it has been a day since I attended shool. A day of torture and boredom for some reason. I sat on my light pink bed in my white coloured  room. I look around my room to find something to do which can help me out of my boredom. My silver laptop on my white oak table, a small vanity table with a pink fluffy seat, my closet and a door which is for the entering and exiting my average size bedroom.

I let out a small sigh and stood up. It is 3:31 in the afternoon and practice usually ends around 6 and Satsu-nee usually comes back at 6:30. I still have a lot of time until Satsu-nee comes back same for Okasan and Otosan come back from work. 

I have the whole house to myself.I got up from y queen sized bed with many pillows all over it and decided to leave to go to the living room. Sitting all day won't do any good. It's so bad that I bruised my hands. I wouldn't be able to play basketball then. Tomorrow is a Friday and Saturday and Sunday I wouldn't have anything to do. 

I should really take care of myself more. I don't want this to be repeated again. I walk down the stairs of our two-story house. I walk to the living room and flopped down on the creamy white couch. I took the tv remote and turned it on. My hand didn't hurt that much but t still does. The bruises and the cuts are healing nicely but I still have to wrap my hands.

~~♡~~

"Nee-channnn!!!" I sprung up from my laying position to hit someone on their forehead with mine. "Ahh!"I turn to the voice to find Satsu-nee falling to the brown carpet. Before I can help her, I fell off the couch too. "Itai!" Satsu-nee yelled when I fell on top of her. Her pink hair sprawled on the ground framing her face which shows that she was in pain, I lay on her stomach for a second and then I quickly got up.

"Satsu-nee, are you alright? I'm sorry for making you fall." I got up quickly and crouched right next to her. "Itai, I'm alright." Satsu-nee got up while rubbing her forehead. My forehead still hurts but I didn't pay attention to it. I need to know if Satsu-nee is alright first. She is after all my twin.

"Nee-chan, next time don't fall asleep with the television on. She gets up and closes the tv with the remote. I let out a small tiny smile that you wouldn't be able to see without a microscope and nodded.

"Basketball practice is tiring without you there." She plops down on the sofa as I sat down gently. "But isn't that how it normally is?" I ask curiously. Did something happen to make Satsu-nee tired already? Usually, she will be energetic when she comes home. 

"Akashi-kun and the rest of the GoM were keep bothering me asking how you were and everything. Even Daiki asked even though he can visit anytime." Satsu-nee let out a small sigh. I continue to look at her. "Akashi-kun stayed by my side for the whole day asking how you were and everything. It was strange since he never showed that kind of side to anyone. When I told him he could visit he suddenly left." Akashi-kun has been worried about me? All this time? I feel a soft warm feeling in my chest but I surpassed it the feeling thinking that it was something else.

"At the end of the day, he gave me his phone number to me for you. So here." She hands me a slip of paper and I took it shakingly. I tuck the piece of paper into my pockets. "He kept on blaming himself that you fainted but I think it was all because he was worried." Satsu-nee got up with a lot of energy while she says that. It kind of hurt for some reason. Deep inside my chest, i felt something squeeze .

"I'm going to cook dinner okay!" She skipped right off to the kitchen. Usually, I will stop her to help her since her cooking skills aren't that good but today, I feel different. somehow.

"Nee-chan! Don't you want to help!" Satsu-nee yells from the kitchen. I got up and walk towards the kitchen in no rush.

~~♡~~

"Mmmm. This is s good. Satsuki did you make this by yourself?" A woman with pink hair and blue eyes asks while holding her cheek in happiness. That woman who looks so young is named Momoi Hana, also Satsu-nee and my okasan. "My little girl is growing up." A young handsome man just a little over the woman's age but has strawberry blonde hair and pink eyes. His name was Momoi Makoto Satsu-nee and my Otosan.

I sat and ate the dinner Satsu-nee and I made together even though I have my hands wrapped with bandages. "Actually Nee-chan helped me this time as well." She says happily. Okasan and otosan look at each other worriedly for a second. It's no wonder since she is not a good cook but we try to hide it to make her feel better. 

"So anyways how was school?" Okasan asks Satsu-nee suddenly. Both of my oya and Satsu-nee went to their own conversation but I didn't mind. It's usual for us. They having their own conversation while I stay quiet. I only answer when they ask anything but it's usually soft. I zoned out of everything and at my dinner in peace.

~~♡~~

I step out of the shower to see all the lights off. Everyone might be asleep by now. I quietly and carefully walk to my room without making a sound then I open my white door to my bedroom. My room is the last door of the corridor and Satsu-nee's is near the steps.

I close my door and I decided to leave my lights off because my curtain was open. It gave me enough light to see. The piece of paper with Akashi-kun's number was on my vanity table as I took a long stare at it. Should I text him now? He would be asleep by now, would he? He is an heiress of a successful company so he must have a lot of paperwork to do. Should I text him? 

I let out a small sigh and flopped down on my bed and lay there hoping that I will fall asleep.
