Eternal Melody

The moment they left the park grounds. Yuhi stopped walking and turned around to flick her forehead. “Ouch!” Sumire exclaimed. “That hurts.”

“Your too defenseless.” Yuhi pointed at her neck.

Sumire laughed sheepishly. “Uh, you saw that?”

“Of course, I did! Geez.” Yuhi sighed. “I leave you alone for a moment, and yet you let your guard down. Honestly, what were you thinking?”

“Sorry.”

Yuhi sighed. “I can’t stay mad at you. Your finished now, right? Its a bit far, but there is a better place we can use.”

“Yuhis studio?”

“You know way too much.”

When she saw him sulking still, Sumire clung to his arm. Yuhi paused. “Is that all?”

She laughed softly. “Um, what else did you expect me to do?”

“I was thinking you would continue what you were trying earlier.”

Sumire covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed again. “Well, mm. Maybe when we get inside?”

“Do you promise?”

This man doesn’t think of anything else, does he? But it is because of him that she can walk freely like this.

It is because of him that she can smile properly.

She read in a book somewhere.

Sometimes it just takes patience for everything to happen.

People do not get respect in just one day. It is impossible to be in love with someone they only just met.

Individuals do not forgive themselves easily after committing one mistake. People grow by making mistakes, getting hurt, and learning from their regrets.

Thoughts are there to help guide you to your decision. It’s the individual that has to take that first step into the pathway of happiness.

Don’t assume; get the facts straight. By assuming, people make the biggest mistakes. What they see as the truth may not be; their beliefs influence their decisions. This assumption clouds their thoughts.

There are a true story and reasoning behind everything.

We all fight for something, but along the way, it is easier to forget the reasoning we want it.

“Hey, quit spacing out. We are already here.”

Huh? Sumire blinked and looked at her surroundings. Sure enough, a tall building stood in front of her. Yuhi raised his hand towards the keypad, and the doors immediately opened. Sumire did not enter right away and stood awkwardly at the doorway.

How is it possible? Weren’t they in the area near the park? There were no such buildings nearby. Sumire turned back and found they were in a different area of town. A place she never saw before with modern buildings. What is this?

“Hey, do you want to come inside, or do you want just to stand there?”

“Ah, coming.”

….

A few minutes later

Sumire ran her hands through his back. She might as well surrender; it is not like there is anything wrong with them getting close like this. But then again, maybe she should care? Yuhi briefly parted their lips.

“Are you okay? Is it too much?”

It’s only kissing; he doesn’t have to over-react. Sumire didn’t know what to do seeing such concerned looking eyes. She shook her head. “Mmm, Yuhi. This is a nice place.”

She only briefly looked before he pushed her down and started to kiss her.

“I guess it is. A bit too large for one person, though.”

“Then, should I come here more often?”

His lips curve to a smile, Yuhi nuzzled his forehead against hers. “I don’t mind if you do. We could do more things like this with nobody disturbing us.”

“Say, this place–” Her sentence fell short when he started to kiss her again. Welp, she supposes she could ask him again later. Besides, she likes the feeling of his lips on hers.

To her surprise, after a few minutes, Yuhi stopped. He pulled away; sweat clung to his body. “Sumire, do you want to get changed? Maybe take a shower too?”

“No, uh– I am fine.”

“Then wait here a bit.” With those words said, Yuhi quickly exited the room.

Sumire slumped back onto the couch and tossed back and forth. What is she doing? Does she have time for such a thing right now? But Yuhi seemed happy, and she didn’t dislike it either. It feels like her emotions are going crazy, but that person is in the same position.

She hesitated for a few minutes before she got up. Sumire left the room and walked down the hall. It did not take her long before she found the place she wanted.

Sumire extended her hand out towards the doorknob, the moment she did, a familiar hand grabbed hers. Yuhi pulled her inside and kissed her. “Lets take it together, do you mind?”

“I don’t.” She doesn’t mind. He already saw her. Besides, something like taking a bath together should be relaxing, right?

A few minutes later, Sumire regrets it a lot. Yuhi kept kissing her all over; it was hard to relax.

“You tricked me.”

“You’re the one provoking me a lot.” Yuhi pulled away. “But well, I should give you a break once in a while.”

Sumire wrapped her arms around his neck and drew their naked bodies together. A hum passed Yuhis lips.

“I just think you’re stupid. But I want you to help me with this child. I cant think of anybody else.”

“That’s fine with me.” Yuhi nodded.

“Will I get in your way?”

If people find out she has a child then surely they will criticize her heavily. Getting pregnant before she is eighteen? Eighteen already looks bad to people, let alone before then. There is all that stuff Sano mentioned too. She does not want to stand in Yuhis way and cause him problems. If he tells her yes, then she could leave him immediately.

To her surprise, Yuhi shook his head. “I think it’s okay. I mean, Sumire, it’s not like I am in a position where I can’t support you financially and emotionally.”

“That’s not–”

“I have my whole life ahead of me. I am young. I know all that. But I already enjoyed so much success from when I was a mere child.”

Her eyes widened when she heard those words. She did not expect him to say it like that.
