The curtains didnt block a single ray of light as the sun woke me up from my sleep. I yawned, its my third day here with Ahri. Yesterday at the top of the hill really surprised me.

Doing my morning routine, I glanced outside the bathroom window. Today the front yard is due and just by looking at how the weeds are enormous, I knew that this was going to be a long hard day.   

I walk downstairs to wake up Ahri and noticed that the door to the guest room was already open. I could hear the sound of a spoon clanking against a bowl so I guessed that Ahri was either cooking or eating

Even before you can enter the living room, Ahri noticed me and her tail started wagging side to side, but stopped as soon as she noticed. Blushing slightly

"You're up early" I scratched my messy hair

"I was too hungry to sleep in" she says in between bites

Ahri left another bowl for me so I poured whatever cereal was left. I'm not sure how many bowls she had already

Drinking the rest of the milk from the bowl, a little milky mustache is left on her upper lip, I chuckle a bit, and she noticed it almost immediately.

Tilting her head a bit left in confusion, having a pouting yet asking look, with a grin you point to your upper lip. She wipes most of it, while wiping it away, she makes a little pouts again once she cleans her mustache.

"Sorry, but it just-" I try a half-meant apology

"I will forgive you this time just cause you're cute" Ahri says while giving you a wink

"So what are we up to today?" She places our bowls in the dishwasher and starts the machine

"We'll starting in the front yard, we can plant some flowers and detach some pesky weeds while we're at it" I rubbed my chin

Ahri doesn't answer at first, I turned around in the kitchen to face her. Her eyes sparkle with excitement, her ears pointing up while her tail wags furiously.

"Ahri?" I ask in a cautious tone, she snaps out a bit.

Ahri's ears move back into their normal position

"Sorry, I got carried away a bit" she blushes, excusing herself almost immediately afterwards towards her room.

As you are left alone in the kitchen, you let out a small sigh, she seems more like a child than a well-known idol. As I walk into the living room to turn off the tv, you can listen to the last words of the newscast.

"... World wide popstar is missing while the rest of K/DA has stayed silent" the sound is swallowed up by the silence that fills the room in seconds

"If only they knew" I chuckled

3rd PoV

Y/n already pulled the dead scrubs out of the flower bed, and soon after Ahri joins him. Wearing used looking jeans and a white shirt, she stands there for a minute, rubbing her arm, before grabbing one of the flower pots in silence, beginning to plant in one of the empty spots.

"You still look great by the way" Y/n chuckled. It seemed Ahri was waiting for a comment since she didn't say anything when she came outside

Ahri's tail wagged a bit as she continue to plant the flowers

Guess I was right Y/n chuckled

You two sit there, digging small holes, planting the flowers, filling up the missing soil with some new one, after some time it feels like harmony.

"Your grandparents and parents used to lived here?" Ahri broke the silence, as you both sit side by side, still going through the same process. You answer with a simple nod.

"I like the feeling of the house, it still has this old flair" she says,

"It's a part my childhood after all" slips out your mouth, you feel a little regret, but as you steal a glance towards Ahri, you see a small smile on her face.

"My grandparents also lived in the countryside, my nan and I used to always plant flowers when I visited" it seems like a memory she is fond of, a nod now feels, inappropriate...

"I spent most of my summer evenings here, playing cards with grandpa, I almost lost every match" Y/n chuckled a bit.

"He always told me that if I would train hard enough I could beat him" You shook your head

"And did you beat him?" Y/n could hear her curiosity

"I never beat him, he told me that I would have to train, whatever that meant. But he won every single game whether it was with me or with his friends" You sighed

You both seem to warm up a bit more, talking about your childhood memories with your grandparents, how the scenery was so different your's was this vast forest and lake while Ahri's was the snowy mountains.

As the time goes by, you take a few steps back, admiring a days hard work. It seems almost finished, maybe cleaning some dirt off the sidewalk. The silence was noticeable once again so you try to start a conversation again.

"So... did you always wanted to a superstar?" Y/N ask to start new topic conversations

"I... ehm, I..." Ahri seems almost embarrassed about this question, fiddling around with her fingers.

"It is okay, you do not have to..." Ahri cuts you out

"No, I just, it is very difficult to explain, you know? Just that..." looking a bit thrown off course, she paces a bit around with her hands, suddenly wincing, as her ears stand up.

You already know what happened, walking back into the house and return with a small first-aid case. As you come back to the arch, she sits cross legged under one of the Sakura trees on the small hills off path.

She holds a finger in her left hand, small drops of blood rolling down her finger. You sit down to her right, making a gesture with your right hand, asking her to let you see the injure, nodding, she removes her hand around the finger.

It is a rather long gash, but it wasn't a serious problem, you couldn't count how many times grandma needed to fix up some of your small injuries. She's not the first victim of the malevolent roses. Setting aside the first aid kit

"I think we call it a day, the rose bush looks okay and we're done with the rest" you say while getting up, brushing off some dirt. Ahri, still sitting there, looks up and nods

"But I will cook today" you stated when both of you get to the door

"Why? Did you not like my coo..." Ahri tried to prop up her arms against her waist in demonstration, but almost yelped when her injured finger touched her skin waste

"Okay..." she mumbles not really agreeing

Y/N slowly patted her head and opened the door for her.

"Next time" I smiled
