Love Resigned

Chapter Ten:

The Rain of Stars

Part One

The double date was, almost, at its conclusion as the four of them( Aki, Alice, Miharu, and Sora) sat within the planetarium and listened to how the Greek myth of how Aries, the ram, was fleece sought after by Jason and the Argonauts.  During the show, Alice was taking notes about it and still appeared to be still the avid and proper honor student.  On the other hand, her beloved husband was acting just like an elementary student with his excitement and his imagination going wild.

Unlike their friends, Aki and Sora had paid very little attention to it as they kept looking at one another with their fingers intertwined.  They felt as though their second chance of being happy together would become even better than their first.  They had just been two young and horny high school students that had confessed their mutual love for one another and it had not mattered that they were siblings from two different mothers.  They had been able connect as a single entity and to memorize everything about their bodies and minds.

It was now after their eight year separation that the two of them recalled everything from their youths and had agreed without a single word that they would take it much slower.  The previous time of their bodies being reunited was the only exception as they had just been sleeping in the same bed since then and had only kissed and held hands.  They had, even, been able to learn more about one another as they spoke during their days together.  Aki had been overjoyed when he had confirmed Runa's story about them being together and that he had never been with anyone else besides her in the last eight years.  Though, she was still very bothered by the fact that while they were dating in high school that he had been with so many other women. However, she did have her own secrets from that time.

The two couples went their separate ways after the planetarium had closed for the night.  The stars were shining bright and the river was the perfect blue to appear as though the heavens had come to earth.  Aki and Sora walked the path and would very often turn their gazes to the river's water and the image that it held.

"Aki-chan, why did we become connected at every chance that we could?    Was it that we had known about how it would end?"  Sora asked out of the blue during one of the moments that he was looking at the river.  They were near an overhead bridge and had known this area when they had been much younger.  They would often hide underneath it when it would rain and she would hold him tight for warmth.

She turned to face him at these concerns that he displayed.  "Sora..."  She was about to say something when the heavens broke open and the ancestors' tears fell upon them.  They were once again forced to hide underneath the overhead bridge, but it was him that held onto her tightly to keep her warm.  Though, their warmth soon came from more than just being held as their bodies became a unified being once more.
