Unburdening

Part 1 - The damn bet 

With Emi we avoided talking about it, both of us had looked bad after having... just hearing her voice made us feel bad, I didn't even want to imagine what would have happened if Akari hadn't intervened, and we would have had to talk to her, but for sure nothing good would have come out of it. 

It was already Wednesday, with Emi we tried to act as if nothing had happened, but we were both down, that was obvious, she didn't make the typical jokes that she usually makes at home that Akari doesn't like, and I have been locked in my room with Akari, In fact if it wasn't for her I would be much worse, the days at school were the same, I only went to class, then I went to the roof or if I couldn't because of the snow I went to the library, Asuna for some reason was also elusive, I didn't really know why, but I wasn't ready to deal with it now. 

There was only one day left to go to school at night, but if things continued like this we would be stuck. 

I took advantage of the end of the first class. 

-Hi-ka-ru. 

Akari had said my name very sensually in my ear. 

-Akari, what was that? 

-I wanted to cheer you up a bit, it seems to have worked, but not for the right head. 

Akari was staring at the crotch. 

-Pervert, of course if you talk to me like that I'll cheer up... we have to talk to Asuna don't we? 

Akari nodded tenderly, in the two days I was discouraged she was trying to convince me to talk to them. 

In fact, it was the only thing she insisted on, she didn't even ask about my mother's matter, she only asked how Emi was... when I wanted to ask about her parents I insisted at first, I didn't know how to feel about it, 

We went to the only place that Asuna could be, as soon as we entered she spoke without seeing us. 

-I'm sorry guys, there will be no meeting today, let's leave it for tomorrow. 

Asuna is us. 

-Hikaru, Akari, I'm sorry, I'm in my days, if you don't mind I'd rather be alone. 

Obviously it was a lie, if there was something she knew well it was when Asuna was on her period because of her problem. 

-Asuna I know you well, my balls if you're on your days, you're sick because of something else, it's because of me, or am I wrong? 

-No, what are you saying Hikaru, not everything revolves around you. - she said a bit annoyed. 

-Asuna, Hikaru's sister told us that she saw you crying, it's better that we talk, after all we are friends, aren't we? 

Asuna's lip twitched, a sign that she wanted to cry. 

-You can still consider me as your friend, knowing that I love your boyfriend, that I even want to.... 

I felt very uncomfortable with what Asuna was saying, I couldn't accept her feelings. 

-Yes, of course, I know that the other time you gave him a kiss near his lip, which I won't deny that it made me jealous, just like when my pervert boyfriend stares at your huge breasts, but I also trust Hikaru, I don't want our friendship to be ruined because of that, you are one of the few people who decided to be my friend, even when I'm a ghost now, you have made an effort for me, Hikaru taught me that if we talk things out, we can solve them. 

Akari looked at me with a smile on her mouth while Asuna looked at Akari with indifference. 

-I want to know something Hikaru? Did you ever like me? - she asked without looking at my face. 

At first I hesitated to answer, but I plucked up my courage, took a seat next to Asuna and grabbed her hand. 

-Yes, in fact you were the first person to like me... the second really, Asuna, I was not very talkative when we met, then you approached me, at that time I didn't have the courage to confess, also what you did when you undressed in front of me and blamed me for spying on you, it made me very angry, but even so I still liked you. 

-What happened then, why did you stop liking me? 

-Akari appeared in my life, she stole my heart, but it wasn't her fault, only me, maybe if I had been brave back then, or if you had confessed things would be different, but they aren't Asuna, I love Akari, that's not going to change. 

-So it was because of her. 

She looked very angry at Akari, in fact, she had never seen that side of Asuna before. 

Akari wasn't very comfortable either from what she had told. 

-Hikaru tell me something, Akari told you why she was on the rooftop that day, I mean the day you met, before you ask how I know, it was because I followed you because I got worried after that idiot Kirin hit you, but you know why she was there. 

-Yes, because of Yui Akimoto. 

-Yeah, but you know what the bet was about. 

Akari was worried, she couldn't take her eyes off Asuna, they both looked at each other's faces, Asuna indifferently and Akari fearfully. 

-Yes, they bet that the one who lost would be noticed in class, and would never be able to try again. 

-I see, good thing you know. 

Asuna changed her face, took a long sigh, then gently smacked her cheeks. 

-Guys, I'll be honest, I don't want to lose either of you as friends, but I don't think I can stop loving you like this, I even rejected Baki for you, did you know that? 

-Yes I had imagined it, I talked to him to make things right with you, but it seems he didn't do it. 

-I see, well I've lost, I have to accept it, Akari I entrust you with my feelings towards him, but if I see that you don't take care of him properly I'll intervene, that's my condition, I'm imposing it, it's not a question. 

-Don't worry about it Asuna, I love Hikaru very much, even in this form he has managed to give me love, I don't want to ruin things with someone like him, so I will take good care of your feelings towards him, I hope I won't disappoint you. 

-I don't have a say. 

They both shouted no, we continued talking for a while, until Asuna asked if I could leave her alone with Akari for a while, which I agreed, if it was something important, Akari would tell me. 

-Tell me, Asuna, what do you want to tell me? 

Don't play dumb Akari, I'm not being double-faced or anything, everything I said is true, I want to continue being her friend, but you must tell him the truth about your bet with Yui Akimoto, tell him everything, if he finds out from someone else, he's going to be very angry. 

Akari was speechless and very embarrassed. 

-Akari, he deserves the truth, I'm sure if you're the one to tell him, he won't be mad at you. 

-You're right, but I don't think I'm ready to tell him Asuna, I'm afraid of losing him, I even tried to leave him, because I feel responsible for the physical and mental damage he has received because of me, but I couldn't leave him, I'm afraid of telling him the truth. 

-Tell her when you're ready, but I recommend you tell her sooner rather than later Akari, I'll keep your secret safe, I won't say anything, but you should know that both Yui and Kirin can talk. 

-Wait a minute, Kirin knows about the bet. 

-Yes, he recently found out and left Yui, he has tried to apologise to Hikaru, but he hasn't done it yet. 

Akari didn't know what to do she was worried, that's when Asuna had a kind gesture, she put both her hands on Akari's trying not to go through her. 

-She said, 'Calm down, just remember to tell him at some point. 

Part 2 - Desire 

Akari didn't tell me what Asuna told her, she said it was a girl's secret, but that I shouldn't worry, she also told me that she would make a plan for the morning. 

I had been holding back for days, not even weeks since the last time I did it, I had been stressed out for a long time, and for obvious reasons I couldn't masturbate, that's why I was looking for an excuse to get Akari out of my room. 

-Honey tell me do you think... don't forget it? 

-Tell me Hikaru What do you want to tell me? 

-Emi's birthday is in a month, I wanted to know what to give her, but I can't think of anything, but she usually writes down the things she likes in a notebook, if I go into her room without her and they see me they might think I'm doing something wrong, could you look for that notebook for me in her room? 

-Yes, no problem, but I think it might take me a while to get it. 

If that's the idea, I didn't feel very good about cheating on her, but I needed to let off some steam. 

-Thank you, honey. 

She left immediately, I reached for a picture on my mobile phone, the next thing I'm going to say doesn't make me proud at all, but I had a picture of Akari changing clothes in PE, she didn't really look like much, she was in her underwear and her breasts were covered by the blindfold she wore to pretend she didn't have breasts, She was still without glasses, it was erotic enough for me, and I didn't want to see other girls on a page for adults, the idea was stupid, but it would make me feel like I was going to be unfaithful to Akari in a way. 

The picture wasn't taken by me, one day a classmate of mine went into the bathroom to spy on the girls, I caught him going out and I confronted him, I deleted all the pictures, but while you were deleting them I found the picture Akari took of him, I sent it to myself and I also deleted it from his phone. 

One of the things that stayed in my mind was when Akari joked with me when I told her the name of the square, ever since that time I wanted to have my first time with her. 

So I took advantage of my time alone and started to do it. 

What notebook could all these be, if I start going through them one by one, it will take me forever... it's true I didn't ask Hikaru what the notebook looked like, I'd better ask him what it looks like, that will make everything faster. 

I went back to Hikaru's room, but I was very embarrassed, I mean I wasn't doing anything wrong, but seeing him made me blush a lot, he was in his happy moment... why my parents had to talk to me about it with such a ridiculous name... 

-Hikaru, where did you get that picture? 

-Akari!
