The End of Akira
Chapter 31: Akira's Desire

"When Akira can stay longer here, staying is also okay" said Ms. Sou smiling.

"Sorry Bi, Akira hasn't given permission for that so Akira has to go home" Akira explained.

"It's okay, but Akira has to play here a lot huh? This house is always open to Akira" Said Sou's father smiling.

"Thank you so much Uncle, Auntie. Akira has permission to play here again" Akira smiled.

"Hm of course" Mother Sou replied.

"Come on Akira" take Sou.

"You, why do you want to quickly drive Akira home huh? Is it so that you can be alone with Akira?" Asked Mother Sou a little annoyed.

"It's not like that Mom, I promised Brother Akira to return him in time. I don't want to be scolded" Sou explained.

"I'm sorry" said Akira smiling awkwardly.

"Alright then" said Sou's mother again smiling.

"About the goodbye to Auntie, Uncle, thank you for letting Akira play here" Akira smiled.

"Other often, say hello to Uncle and Aunt to your parents" Sou's father smiled.

"Of course Uncle, Akira goes home first. Thank you" Akira said with a smile.

"Be careful" Mother and Father Sou waved his hands.

"I don't know if Sou is like that. Akira will try to protect Sou, Akira will protect his smile"

"Sou," call Akira to stop his steps.

"Hm, what's wrong?"

Akira did not say anything, he just stared into Sou's eyes long enough.

"What's Akira?" Tanya Sou started to panic. Akira quickly hugged Sou's body quite tightly.

"about?"

"Let it be like this, I want to hug Sou" explained Akira hiding his face in the chest of Sou's field.

"What's the hm? Did my mom and dad say anything?" Said Sou replying to Akira's embrace.

Akira shook his head. "No, there's no. I just want to hug Sou" explained Akira again.

Sou then smiled. "Alright, hug me as much as you can"

"Hm, thank you" said Akira tightening his embrace and Sou stroking gently Akira's head.

After quite a while and Akira was satisfied hugging Sou, he then let go of his embrace.

"Thank you Sou" he said with a smile.

"What actually happened to you? Not usually" Sou said.

"Sou doesn't want Akira hugging it. Alright I won't hug Sou anymore. I'm sorry" said Akira bowing his body.

"Eh? Not like that, not like that Akira" panicked Sou.

"When I just want to hug Sou, can't I hug my own lover?" akira said to be pulling out his lips.

"Are you angry?"

"No, I'm not angry" Akira said then walking ahead of Sou.

"Don't get angry with Akira" Sou said, pulling Akira's arm so that his body collided with Akira's body and hugged him. "Sorry Akira, I didn't mean it that way. Don't be mad at me" Sou said tightening his embrace.

Akira then returned Sou's embrace. "I'm not angry Sou" he said smiling.

"Are you serious?"

"i'm serious. Why should I be angry anyway?" Akira asked confusedly.

"Sorry" Sou said again.

"Hm. I'm guilty here, too. Come home, Brother will scold us later" explained Akira smiling.

"You're right" said Sou smiling and clasping Akira's hand. "Let's go home"

"Hm"

"Well, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"What treasure did you give back to Mom and Dad?" Ask Sou curiously.

"Secret" said Akira smiling.

"Why? Is that something I shouldn't know?"

"It's not like that. I just don't want to tell you because Sou has also been playing secrets" Akira smiled.

"Is this some kind of retaliation?" Asked Sou who was smiling too.

"Hm" said Akira nodding his head enthusiastically.

"Hah.. well, we're back to break even now" said Sou resigned. "Are you very nervous?" Tanya Sou enthusiastically.

"Of course, my heart has been out of place since I entered Sou's house" Akira protested.

"Eh? There's no way Akira, if you're dead like that" Sou smiled.

"But my heart was beating really fast earlier, I was nervous and scared. But thank God Father and Mother Sou are good people. They accepted me" Akira said with a faint smile.

"Hm, we have permission from our parents. I'll propose to you Akira" said Sou, who made Akira blush.

"about? Your face is red, what a-a"

"It's because of Sou!" Ketus Akira turned his face away.

"I'm sorry, but you want to marry me?" Asked Sou smiling.

"What kind of question is that?" Akira muttered down his head.

"You or not?"

"Sou, this-"

"You or not?"

"Hm, I-I want to" said Akira nervously.

Sou then smiled with satisfaction. "Thank you, I love you so much" said Sou reaching for Akira's waist to get closer to Sou's body.

"I love Sou more" said Akira smilingly looking at Sou.

****

The Akira house..

"Thank you for returning Akira safely Sou" Papa smiled.

"That's Sou's duty, Uncle" he smiled.

"No, his Sou has said that, Akira" said Papa chuckling.

"Alright then Sou says he's going home Uncle, Auntie. It's late afternoon" she smiled.

"Not come in yet? Auntie will make tea" said Rina.

"There's no need for Bi, Sou is afraid that Mom is angry if Sou comes home late" Sou smiled.

"Alright then" said Rina smiling.

"Be careful, greetings to your parents" Papa smiled.

"Be careful Sou, thank you for today" Akira smiled.

"Thank you too Akira. Sou tell Uncle, thank you. Sou go home first" said Sou.

"Thank you Sou, bye-bye" said Akira waving his hand.

"Bye-bye"

Souma's family then broke into the house after Sou disappeared from their sight.

"So how's the date? What's fun?" Tanya Rina was curious.

"Hm, it's fun but it also makes Akira's heart unsafe" Akira smiled. "Oiya, there's greetings for Papa and Mother from Father and Mother Sou"

"Father and Mother Sou?" Ask Papa confused.

"Yes Pa" said Akira smiling.

"Hmm it looks like we will soon have besan Bu" Papa told Rina with a smile.

"It seems so Pa" replied Rina who was also smiling.

"My son is grown up" said Papa hugging Akira.

"Papa exaggerated" Akira murmured with a smile. "A-akira wants to change clothes first" said Akira then released his Papa's embrace.

"Hm, rest. Don't think about Sou while you're in the shower, you can't do it yet!" Shouted Papa.

"W-what did Papa say? How could Akira do such a thing Pa!" said Akira who does not believe what his father said. While Papa and Rina just smiled with satisfaction.

"Stop flirting with your own child" Rina told Papa. "Rest Akira, Papa's words don't be too thoughtful" he said.

"Good Mom" Akira then went to her room. "Papa began to speak strangely" Akira muttered his lips.

Other side..

"Although it's been a week since we became a family but my heart still doesn't approve of it" murmured Yuki looking up at the sky from her bedroom window. "Is this the right decision, Ma? Did Mama allow this to happen too? Why Papa was stubborn at that time, when we were already big and could take care of ourselves even though still with the help of Akira" he murmured. "I thought I didn't want it" he explained.

"Sister!" It was Alya who made Yuki surprised. Without permission, she went straight into Yuki's room and laid herself on the bed.

"I don't remember ever letting you into my room, let alone yelling and just coming in like that. Do I need to teach you manners?" Yuki said coldly.

"It doesn't matter, does it? Akira often does things like this, doesn't he? Why am I the only one who can't? Though I am also your sister" geturu Alya occupied her body.

"I thought you didn't know anything about us" Yuki murmured.

"Did you say something?" Alya asked confusedly.

"It's not as if you know all about Akira. He's a good boy and has good manners even though it's on his own brother. Now out!" Ketus Yuki's.

"I said get out!" Tell Yuki to raise her tone.

"Tch, cold man!" ketus Alya then went out of the room.

"Based on the child does not know manners!" annoyed Yuki. "How dare he barge into my room and cluck at me. Did you see Ma? I don't think I'll ever be able to like it" his monologue stared at his family's photo stored on the nightstand.

Her night..

Tok.dok..

"Sister?" Call Akira from outside the room.

"Open up Akira" Yuki said.

"About opening up" he said, then opened Yuki's room. "Sister let's eat, everyone is waiting below" Akira asked Yuki.

"You eat first, Brother is not hungry and there are still tasks that you have to do" he smiled.

"Do you need Akira to help?" Tawar Akira's.

"Can Akira be?"

"I don't know, but Akira will try" Akira smiled.

"no need. Akira eats first, yes, Brother will follow after completing his duties" said Yuki smiling.

"Alright, Akira went down first huh"

"Hm"

Akira then returned to the dining table alone.

"Where's Yuki?" Ask Papa when he sees Akira coming back alone.

"Sister is doing her job Pa"

"Why not eat first?" Ask Rina.

"Maybe it's Mom's responsibility, Big Brother said he will follow when the task is done" explained Akira again.

"All right, let's eat first" Naoya smiled.

Rina then brought rice to everyone there. 

"About later, ma'am" said Akira before Rina took the rice for her.

"Eh? Why?" Ask.

"About waiting for Yuki's sister" Akira smiled.

"Isn't Yuki still doing her job? It will be a long time" he explained again.

"It's okay Mom, Akira is like this. He won't eat before the others eat" Shinji explained.

"really?" Ask again.

"True, Akira is like this" Papa explained smiling.

"Then it doesn't matter if we eat first?" Ask again.

"It's okay Mom, don't wait for Akira. Akira will wait for Big Brother" explained Akira smiling.

"All right"

Some time waiting, Yuki still did not come out of his room.

"About going to Brother's room first" said Akira.

"Hm, all of you take Yuki to eat now" Papa said.

"Good Pa"

Akira then goes to Yuki's room.

"Sister?" Call Akira knocking on the room door.

"Come in Akira" Yuki said.

"Is it not finished?" Ask Akira.

"A little bit more" Yuki smiled. "I guess you're waiting for Brother, right? It felt like Brother had told Akira to eat first" he said staring at Akira.

"I'm about to wait for Big Brother" said Akira smiling.

"Well, instead of sitting there looking at people eating, would you rather help Brother?" 

"Hm, that was indeed the purpose of Akira coming here" explained Akira smiling.

"Thank you" Yuki smiled. "If Akira follows the formula, everything will be fine" Yuki said, giving Akira some questions. "Please, I'll buy you some ice cream"

"Promise yes" said Akira smiling. "But Akira wasn't sure the results were correct, so have Big Brother check back"

"Hm, Brother will do it. Thank you very much Akira" he said smiling.

"Sama-sama Brother"

Akira then helps with Yuki's duties as much as he can. He also asked Yuki a few times about college life.

"It seems like college is very troublesome huh" Akira said after hearing Yuki's explanation.

"But we can also have many experiences especially when interacting with many people" Yuki explained smiling.

"Is that so? Akira wants to enter the sports department later" said Akira smiled.

"Is Akira sure? Akira is very good in mathematics and natural sciences. Akira could be a professor" said Yuki sure.

"About liking it but Akira doesn't want to be a professor because it's so troublesome" Akira smiled.

"There's something" said Yuki, ruffling Akira's hair.

Tok.dok..

"Are you still alive?" Shinji opened the door.

"Still Brother" Yuki replied smilingly.

"Want to be long. Didn't Papa tell Akira to take Yuki to eat? Why do we do our jobs together now?" Shinji asked entering the room.

"I'm not hungry yet, my job is still a lot" explained Yuki showed a pile of questions.

"You're not hungry yet, but what about Akira?"

"About being too hungry, Brother, just calm down" Akira smiled.

"As far as you guys are. Quickly finish and come down to eat" he said again.

"Your sister" Akira and Yuki replied simultaneously.

"Sister left" he said then went out of the room.

A while later..

"Sister let's eat" asked Akira.

"You're starving already? Sorry yes, let's go downstairs" Yuki smiled.

Akira and Yuki then go downstairs to eat.

"Where is everyone?" Yuki asked confusedly.

"No idea" Akira replied. "What do you want to eat? It seems like Mother's cooking has run out, let Akira cook" said Akira smiling.

"As far as Akira is concerned, all of Akira's cooking will be for Big Brother to eat" Yuki smiled.

"Well, wait a minute" said Akira then began his cooking activities.

Some time later, Akira serves his food at the dinner table.

"Thank you Akira, good-bye" Yuki smiled.

"Sama-sama Brother, have a good meal" said Akira who also smiled.

"How was the date? What's fun?" Yuki asked on the sidelines eating it.

"It was. hmm very stressful" explained Akira.

"Why? Play in a haunted house?"

"About the feeling of a haunted house is still better" 

"More stressful than a haunted house? What playing with the shark"

"Where might Akira do it Kak" Akira protests that make Yuki laugh.

"Then what? What is visiting the home of the future in-laws?"

"Hm"

"HUH?!" Yuki's words kicked down the table which made Akira surprised.

"What's up, brother? Big brother made Akira surprised" Akira said staring at Yuki.

"You went to Sou's house?" Ask again.

"Hm, Akira went there. What's wrong, brother?" Akira asked confusedly.

"I didn't expect, Akira was already growing up as it turned out. Akira will even step over us" Yuki said.

"What does it mean, brother? Don't scare Akira" whined Akira.

"Nothing, forget it. The brother was just surprised and happy" he said then ruffled Akira's hair. Yuki then sat back on his stool quietly.

"So what are you doing there?" Ask Yuki again.

"We talked about a lot of things, brother. Akira also knows more about Sou than his Mom and Dad" explained Akira bowing his head.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Tanya Yuki was worried.

"Sou wasn't the person she is today" Akira said. "He protected himself from the outside world. He never wanted to go out to play, he had no friends, and he never smiled even to his parents. Every day only Sou spent studying and studying" explained Akira bowing his head.

"really? Sou.."

"About wanting to always make Sou smile Kak, Akira doesn't want him to go back to his childhood just yet. Akira wants to always make Sou happy" said Akira staring at Yuki with confidence.

"Akira.." lirih Yuki looked at Akira. Yuki then smiled and gently stroked Akira's head. "Hm, do what Akira wants to do. He must have been very lonely back then. Be happy for her, Brother is sure Akira can do it" Yuki smiled. "Excite, Brother will always support you"

"Hm, thank you so much, brother."
