The Fulfilled Promise [Private; Semi-ERP]

'Don't worry about it. I know now, so it's fine!' she smiles and leans back. 'I don't think I left a very good first impression, though...'

"Trust me...after all the things I told her I'm sure she will understand."

He sighs contently as he kisses her softly.

"Like she said, I told her about you almost everyday. I always told her that I was waiting for you and how much I cared. She started waiting for you too. See after you left I got depressed and she knew that you coming back would make everything better."

He holds her closely in a loving hug.

'I see... I hope the two of us can be friends. She seems like a really nice girl' Andrea smiles. 'And besides, she's the same age as my little brother! With your consent, maybe I can use her as a spy to keep an eye on him while he's studying here!'

"She considers you a mother to her as well...even if you weren't here. Good luck using her as a spy though. Her narcolepsy would make it quite difficult."

He chuckles softly before shivering.

"Jeez. This water got cold quickly. Wanna get out?"

'That's not a bad idea!' Andrea says and stands up and steps out of the bath, then grabs a towel lying nearby and begins wiping herself dry. 'Eh? Narcolepsy? You mean she falls asleep suddenly?' she asks and tilts her head to the side slightly.

"Yeah...that's probably what ended up happening when she got in her room."

He gets out as well and starts draining the water out. He grabs a towel and star drying off as well.

"Did you bring extra clothes with you sweetie?"

'Heh, of course! A whole suitcase of them!' she exclaims, then yawns loudly. 'Speaking of sleep, I think I'm gonna hit the sack soon. I'm exhausted~'

"Well why don't you go take a nap and I will unpack your things for you. You two can have a proper introduction later."

He smiles and gives her a hug after wrapping a towel around his waist.

"I missed you so much. Welcome back."

'Alright, that sounds great! But where should I go?' Andrea asks and returns the hug. 'Thank you. It's good to be back!'

"You can go to my room. Still in the same place silly."

He chuckles and walks towards it.

"Follow me I'll show ya."

'Oh... Okay' she responds, looking a little bit worried, but obediently follows Kurai to the bedroom.

"You okay babe?"

He lets her walk into his room first.

'U-uhm, yeah, of course I am! Don't worry about me!' Andrea smiles and walks in, dragging her suitcase with her. She quickly throws the towel away and takes out some underwear and a long T-Shirt from her suitcase. After putting them on, the girl lies down on the bed. 'Are you coming too?'

"Of course I am going to worry about you. I do love you quite a bit after all."

He dresses in a pair of pajama pants and get in bed next to her.


"Andrea...are you glad you're back?"

'What are you talking about? I couldn't be happier that I'm back! Where did that come from?'

"I just thought I'd ask...curiosity was always something I was good at"

'I see...' she responds and closes her eyes. 'Well, I think I'll fall asleep any second now, so... Good night, Kurai~'

"Goodnight Andrea. If you need me wake me."

He holds her with one arm as he falls asleep slowly afterwards.

Hitomi wakes up and peaks into her father's room. She sees the two of them asleep and her father having a smile on his face.

"Congratulations Papa...you found your missing puzzle piece."

She smiles and wipes away a tear from her face. She walks over and looks at a picture. The last one Kurai and Andrea took before she left 15 years ago. The last time he was truly happy.

Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, Andrea begins crying. Her body doesn't move, and her eyes remain closed, but tears start rolling down her face, and her sobbing, while quiet, is still audible.

Kurai wakes up slowly upon hearing her cries.

"Andrea...are you okay? Wake up sweetie."

He softly wipes her tears away and hold her close.

She slowly opens her eyes. 'Hmm... Kurai? What's wrong?'

"You were crying...it woke me up. Must have had a bad dream."

'I--' she touches her face and realizes it's wet, then sighs. 'Shit... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to wake you up...'

"It's okay. Don't worry. Do you remember why you were crying?"

He holds her cheek softly to help calm her down.
