apple koi; the story that almost (and we’re here, now we’ll hold on) by orphan_account
Fandoms: Banana Fish (Anime & Manga)

Summary
“A koi fish,” her teacher once read out loud from a well-worn storybook, “means tenacity. Perseverance. It is said that they fight against waterfalls, always swimming against the stream’s current so that when they one day reach the top of those waterfalls, they can shed their scales and become dragons.”
Thunder cracked in the doorway of the Okumura household, and from its light, her brother stood half-drowned in the doorway. Eiji was never the talkative type, but as he let the water drip from the floor into pools on the carpet without saying a word, thunder rumbling in the backdrop of Izumo, she knew that any words would have been choked out of him.
Eiji spared one small smile at her, dropped his suitcase by the shoe cupboard, and walked through the house with squeaking wet shoes. Kaori watched, frowned, and decided not to press.
He didn’t talk much about America.
(Or, a year from the finale, Kaori Okumura watches her brother struggle with the grief of his time in America, and not all is at it seems surrounding Ash Lynx.)

Summary

But as middle school and high school roll in, life begins to shift. New challenges, growing pains, and unspoken feelings start to blur the once-simple lines of friendship.
Can their bond survive the changes that come with growing up?
Or will time—and everything that comes with it—pull them apart?
