Rating: PG-13 for subject matters.
Well. The case of concerned cousin was over, but that meant he still had to deal with the origin of that particular bit of trouble. Which meant there was a rather unhappy boy walking up to the door of Tachibana An's room, coming to a stop to knock on it.
Looking away from her computer to the door, she blinked. An wondered who it could be." Come in, the doors unlocked." She called out from her bed.
Opening the door, Mizuki stepped in, closing it after himself. "...You told him."
An swallowed, surprised that it was Mizuki but at the same time she knew he was bound to come after what she had told Akaya. "...I did." No use lying about it when Akaya probably went to him about it.
"I asked you not to tell anyone," Mizuki said coolly. "I trusted you with a secret only a handful of people know and asked you to keep it to yourself. And what do you do? Go straight to the very last person whom I'd want to know about it!"
An couldn't look him in the eyes. She did betray his trust but she had done it with the best intentions. An could keep a secret to the grave but something like that she couldn't not tell Akaya. " I know..I'm sorry but he really did need to know. He's your family and he loves you..."
"He didn't need to know." Mizuki shook his head. "He was absolutely distraught."
"Of course he would be!" An said loudly before becoming quiet again. She always messed up; it seemed like everything she tried to do to better things made things worse.
"Exactly. Which is why I didn't want him to know. He worries about me enough as it is."
" I'm sorry..."
"You should be." Mizuki sighed. "It took me quite a lot of effort to convince him I'll be all right."
“You know...in the end you'll be glad that he knows now." An didn't want to make him mad but she knew somehow that Akaya knowing and giving him support would be good for Mizuki.
"Perhaps... but I still might have preferred to tell him on my own terms, instead of having him suddenly burst in through the door nearly in tears."
"You don't think he wouldn't have acted the same if you had told him?'
"At least I'd have had some time to prepare."
An sighed."...True."
"You could have asked me to tell him if you thought it was that necessary. Or, you know, at least warned me."
An continued to frown, " I'm kinda impulsive like that.."
"A perfect match for him, then." Mizuki rolled his eyes. "While I'm sure you have the best of intentions, did it even cross your mind to consider that perhaps, just perhaps, you might not know what's the best for me in this matter?
"Maybe but...I just remembered how guilty my brother felt when I hadn't told him about a problem I was having and he got really worried when he found out."
"Well, so what? My sisters don't know. My father still doesn't know. Granted, I like Akaya better than any of them, but that's just one of the reasons I didn't want to tell him!" Mizuki's tone was actually angry, now. "It was a traumatic experience in several ways, one that lasted far too long and very damn nearly killed me. I've only ever told a couple of my most trusted friends. Just because you happened to find out doesn't mean you get to make decisions about who should know about my private matters!"
An felt hurt now,but she did deserve it. She was always wrong, why did she even bother with anyone. She rubbed her eyes feeling her eyes prick, " There isn't anything else I can say to you besides the fact that I'm sorry! I'm sorry I told Akaya! All I was trying to do was help...."
"Well, I don't recall asking you for help," Mizuki said bitingly. Yes, he was being a bitch, but then he felt it was quite justified at the moment. "The only thing even remotely connected was asking you to keep your mouth shut, and you screwed up even that!"
There wasn't anything left else to say to him, she couldn't justify her actions and she did betray his trust. An just rubbed her eyes feeling her face get wet. She didn't want to cry but she felt really bad.
Gah. A crying girl. Girls always cried when something went wrong, even when they were the ones at fault. It made Mizuki feel both uneasy and irritated. Girls never had to admit their faults or even address the problems; they just turned on the waterworks and everything was suddenly just fine and dandy. "Stop that," he snapped.
"I wish I could."She rubbed her eyes once more before she looked at him, " I knows it's my fault, I know I betrayed your trust! What else do you want me to say!?" An hated to cry but she felt helpless, and just so useless it wasn't a feeling that would make her not feel like crying.
I don't know. What do you want me to say? That I guess I have every right to be angry, but, gee, you did it out of the goodness of your heart, so that makes it all right?"
" I know I wasn't right of me to tell him after I promised but I just had to tell him and I really did it to help you.." Even though she utterly failed to be any help at all. She almost wanted him to just go away but she deserved al this.
"...You're lucky I like Akaya, or I'd forget you're not supposed to hit girls." Not that he ever hit anyone, really.
"I deserve it anyways.."
"...Cut off the self-pity."
"...." She guessed not saying anything would probably be better.
"I don't know what to say." Which in itself was a rarity. "Except... it'll be a good, long while before I can even think of trusting you again."
She nodded, " I know..."
"Just... try not to mess with my life again."
"Alright..."
Mizuki sighed. What was he supposed to say or do at that? He was still angry, yes, but there was only so much yelling he could do, particularly at a crying girl.
An pulled up her legs and rested against the headboard of her bed, "...Anything else you want to say to me?"
Mizuki paused. Would he be that cruel? Yes, just this once, he would. "...Nice to see that dating you hasn't at least made Akaya worse at kissing."
"What do you mean by that?"An sniffed, what did that have to do with what they were talking about?
Just that his kisses are exactly like they used to be, is all." It didn't have much to do with it, no, but then she'd asked if he had anything else to say, not if he had anything else to say about the matter. Of course, he might have mentioned said kisses were extremely chaste in nature, but...
How would Mizuki even know that."What?"
"I should think I'm speaking perfectly clear Japanese."
"You were kissing him?" But he was his cousin and she didn't understand and didn't want to.
Technically, he was the one who kissed me."
Her heart dropped and she bit her lip."Why?"
Mizuki rolled his eyes and sighed. Okay, so he wasn't quite that much of a bitch just now. "Don't freak out... Because he's my favorite cousin and vice versa, and we grew up on a steady stream of sleepovers and snuggling. He's just yet to realize that just because it was cute when he was two doesn't mean it's still cute now."
Well what Mizuki was saying seemed very like something Akaya would do, so it did help her feel better..sort of. " Well it's not cute, you both are to old for that."
"You tell that to him." Mizuki rolled his eyes. "...Doesn't help it's contagious enough I've done it to Akazawa a couple of times." Not on the lips, though. For now.
" I will tell him, he says he doesn't want me hugging strange people then he shouldn't be kissing anyone else on the lips."
He'd probably say it doesn't count because I'm not a strange person, I'm Haji."
" Either way he should be kissing people other than me." She huffed so maybe she was a tiny but jealous
Not even his teddy bear?"
:An rolled her eyes. At least she stopped crying, "His bear is an inanimate object."
"And I'm his semi-identical cousin. We took baths together when we were kids, for God's sake."
"Well true.. But still."
"Worry not, I'm not competition," Mizuki stated dryly. "He's my baby cousin."
"Hmmm, I believe you." He was right about that.
"Not my fault he decides kisses are a good way to calm me down. Well, I suppose it is, considering it worked when I was three..."
An nodded, "I see..."
An let out her own sigh and half smiled at him, " Sorry about that, it's really frustrating, you know?"
"What is? Having people cry at you?"
" Well no, just crying in general. I really dislike it."
"I have two older sisters. I've dealt with more than enough tears in my life." Mizuki shook his head. "Just... don't tell anyone else, okay? I don't care how good your intentions are."
At least things didn't feel so heavy now and Mizuki wasn't yelling at her. "I wasn't planning on telling anyone else..."
"Good. Now stick to that thought." Mizuki turned to go.
An wasn't one to tell people other peoples secrets especially when they made her promise but telling Akaya was a good decision even though he pretty much distrust of her but that was okay. Maybe someday he'd thank her. "I will, Mizuki-san."
"Good." And, with nothing more, Mizuki was gone.
