4 Chapter 4

*Trigger Warning*

I didn't think he heard me because it came out as mumbling. I felt my heartbeat faster than ever before. He looks at me and then for the second time today presses his lips onto mine. I take a step back but he follows, not separating our lips for a moment. He pulls our bodies closer and after some time of me trying to push him off, he finally pulls away.

"Why- what, I don't understand..."

I take a few steps back and fall onto my bed. Akahiro keeps his eyes on me and walks up to me. He gets on top of me and looks at my eyes for a bit. He doesn't say anything and simply kisses me again. I try to push him off but he's stronger and larger than I.

Why is he doing this? What did I do? Am I his way of release, is he trying to get back at my brother?

Akahiro slowly moves from my mouth to my cheek, but he doesn't stop there. He makes his way down to my neck. He stays between my neck and shoulder blade. I gasp when he makes his way to just above my breasts. He suddenly gets off of me. I look at him with a scarred face, I unconsciously place my hands at my chest.

"Don't worry I wasn't planning on going further than that."

Planning on going further? Did he just say he planned this?

I look at him with wide eyes.

"You were planning this? But why?"

He laughs.

"No I didn't actually plan it, it just happened. I know how to control myself though so don't worry."

I simply keep staring at him in shock. He sighs and kneels down in front of me.

"Look, don't think about it too much. Let's head down before your brother comes looking for us."

Don't think too much about it? Is it a game for you?

I simply stare at him not being able to say anything. He looks me in the eyes and smiles. He then places a kiss on my forehead then on my cheek.

"I promise not to attack you."

Attack? This is borderline rape.

I look at the door and then back at him. He gets up and extends his hand for me to take. I take it and get up. He leads me to the door and opens it. We make our way downstairs to where my brother is. When we re-enter the living room, my brother and his soon to be wife looked up at Akahiro and me.

"You both sure took some time before you were ready. Akahiro can I ask you something?"

Akahiro looks at me and then at my brother. He simply nods his head. My brother gets up and walks over to the other side of the living room. Akahiro follows him and I have no choice but to have some small talk with my future sister-in-law. So I walked over to where she's sitting.

"Hey um, I'm sorry about my behavior earlier. It all just came as a shock."

Stella just smiles at me.

"I understand, not many knew how serious German and I were. I didn't take it personally."

My brother walks back to Stella and I. He places his arm around her shoulders and he sits down beside her.

"Sakura, there's something else I would like you to know. I was relocated for work. It's about 8 hours from here, you have a choice to move with Stella and me or…... "

He looks at Akahiro as if to signal for him to finish his thought.

"Or you can move in with me. It all depends on what you want, I'm fine with you moving in."

I look at my brother with a shocked expression.

What so now he wants to get rid of me? Fine, I get it I won't stand in his way.

Without a second thought, I reply with

"I'll move in with Akahiro."

My brother's expression saddens. I look at Akahiro and he looks impressed but not shocked. As if he was expecting this reply.

Does he want this? Should I actually go with him? I mean after what's happened in the past like hour, is it a good idea?

"Ok, you should start packing. We have a week to move."

I look at Akahiro then at my brother and nod. I head upstairs to start removing things from the walls. Shortly after I start removing things I hear the door open. I look towards it and see Akahiro close the door behind him. I slightly tense up but continue what I am doing.

"Have you heard of knocking?"

He looks at me and smirks.

"What made you decide to move in with me?"

I briefly look at him but then continued to remove the books from my shelf.

"I want my brother to have his space, he's going to get married soon. I don't want to be in his way."

Akahiro makes his way to my bed and sits down. He chuckles at my reply.

"I doubt you'd be in his way."

I look at him and roll my eyes. I finish placing the books on the floor and start placing them in the box. While I sit on the floor Akahiro gets up and walks behind me. He kneels down behind me and helps me put the books in the box. His chest is on my back and his arms are constantly rubbing against mine. I stop and try to calm my heart which feels as if it will leave my body. He takes notice and wraps his arms around me. He pulls me into him and whispers to me.

"Do you think it's a good idea to move in with me? Aren't you afraid that I'll try something while you're living with me?"

I shiver slightly as his breath brushes past my neck.

"If you're going to try something it'll happen at any point."

I say with a hidden meaning.

Maybe I'm just making things easier for you.

He chuckles but doesn't let go of me. He places his chin on my shoulder.

"You know, you're actually cute."

He kisses my neck and then lets go of me.

I get up and head for the bathroom.

Maybe I should have moved with my brother. Too late now, I hope everything works out. I might not have a big problem with being with Akahiro, I just don't want to become a substitute for my brother.

I head back to my bedroom to find that it is empty. He has left and I don't go after him. I continue packing.

~Moving day~

Today I officially move in with Akahiro. I am a bit nervous as what happened while I was packing is still fresh in my mind. I go downstairs and nod at my brother. Stella is also downstairs I just look at her and smile briefly before walking to the couch and sitting down.

"I don't think I asked you why you decided to move in with Akahiro?"

I look at my brother and then look at the floor.

"He asked me the same thing."

I don't bother giving him an explanation. We then hear a knock at the door. My brother glares at me. Stella heads to the door and opens it. I hear her greet someone from outside. She then walks in with Akahiro behind her. Akahiro smiles at me and walks over to my brother. They exchange greetings and then they talk between themselves.

"You better take care of her."

Akahiro chuckles and turns towards me.

"I'll take very good care of her."

He gives me a slight wink. My brother looks between the both of us and furrows his eyebrows but doesn't say anything.
