Eternal Melody

Sumire doesn’t know if she got some rest but by the time Atushi came, and Jae she was already dressed and ready to go. She wore the same clothes from earlier, except they were now dry. Atushi immediately pulled her to his side, frowning deeply. She could already foresee the future. He will surely lecture her later.

“Sano.” Sumire called out.

The man turned to her.

“I will call you tomorrow?” She asks un-certain. For some reason Sumire felt that something was different now.

Sano nodded. “Call me anytime.”

Atushi was hurriedly tugging her arm and pulling her away. He clearly didn’t want to stay any longer. Jae bowed and said thanks, then the three of them were on the road.

“So we initially came here by car. But the roads in this area are affected as you can see. We couldn’t come in with the car otherwise it would get stuck, so we parked it.” Jae explained.

Sumire only nodded. She glanced over at Atushi who seemed very disturbed. He must be thinking weird things again. Atushi never liked Sano, he seemed to have a strong dislike for him. Then again it turned out Atushi was right about Sano so his suspicions were not wrong. But Sumire felt there was more to all of this.

Along the roads affected by the heavy rain, she spotted the car in the corner. But it wasnt just the car. A man with black hair wearing a grey coat and white fur coat leaned against the car, a cigarette in his lips as he looked up at the sky.

Her eyes widened when she saw who it was. “Yuhi?”

Yuhi glanced over at her and sighs deeply. “Cmere.”

She immediately rushed over and landed in his arms. They were quite close already so she didn’t have to dramatically flung to him but she did. The moment she landed in his arms, Sumire wrapped her arms around his neck and started to kiss him.

Yuhi broke the kiss after a while and laughed. “Man, overboard.”

He seemed happy but the moment she thought that she felt a flick on her forehead. “Overboard and nice. But you’re still getting a lecture.”

Damn she thought she could get away with it. So Yuhi is the one who will lecture her and not Atushi? No wonder he refrained from speaking this entire time.

“Now King you say that, but you will probably just kiss her a lot. If you want to punish her you shouldn’t kiss her for awhile.”

Sumire looked horrified at Jaes suggestion and the smiling man laughed. “The Princess likes you that much it seems.”

Not kissing Yuhi even for a day was pure torture for her. Not a single day has passed since they started dating did they go a day without kissing.

“Unfortunately that would be torture for me too.” Yuhi trailed off. “She already promised me that we could do other things tonight. So what else can I do to her hmmm..”

Her cheeks grew hot when she heard him say those words. Sumire proceeded to hit him but he grabbed her hands and looked at her seriously.

“You agreed, right?”

Sumire averted her gaze but slowly nodded. She feels like a huge fool when she is around this person. Since she came to Tokyo she hasn’t acted like herself at all.

“Hey Atushi, I think the car is busted.”

At that comment Atushi snapped out of whatever daze he was in and rushed over. She was in Yuhis arms so it was difficult to see but she did see some smoke.

“I guess we should stay here and fix the tire.” Jae glanced over. “King and Sumire-chan you two can go ahead.”

“Eh? But—” Sumire seemed uncertain but Yuhi placed her down on the ground. He grabbed her hand and pulled her along. Sumire didn’t get a chance to say anything since he was increasing his footsteps.

Once they were completely out of sight. Yuhi lets go of her hand and slumped to the ground.

“Yuhi?”

“You know I have so many things I want to say to you. But for now, I am glad you’re safe.”

Her eyes widened when she heard those words. He must have worried about her a lot. The love and care he has for her, she has underestimated it. She only went missing for five hours and yet look at him, he looks like a mess. Earlier she didn’t get a good look but now she could see things more clearly.

Sumire crouched down and brushed her forehead against his. “Sorry Yuhi, I won’t do it again. I will be good.”

Yuhi laced their hands together. “Are you sure? Maybe I should lock you up somewhere and keep you all to myself.”

“Yuhi-san you have strange hobbies like that?”

“I feel like I should start.”

Sumire laughed. “Um, that would be a problem.”

“Sumire.” Yuhi suddenly looked at her seriously. “Can I kiss you?”

Nervous laughter passed her lips when she heard him say those words. Uh what is he doing asking her so seriously? Normally he would just – no he wouldn’t. Now that she thought about it Yuhi never does things without asking her.

“Okay.”

Yuhi made them both stand up. He looked around and then backed her against the wall. She felt his eyes roaming all over her, eyes filled with desire. For a moment Sumire stopped breathing, there was something breathtaking about this sight before her. It seemed stupid for her to get nervous but right now her heart is beating so loudly.

He slowly reduced the distance. “Damn, my heart is beating like crazy.”

They are both idiots but it seems like their feelings for each other increase as the day goes by. After kissing for a good few minutes, Yuhi eventually let her go.

They walk hand in hand down the slope.

“So I think we should forget school tomorrow or should I say today?” He lifted his phone up with his free hand.

Three am.

In a few hours they would have to get ready to go to school. But after spending practically all night out, indeed she doesn’t want to go either. Sumire nodded but sighed. “I fear for my attendance.”

Yuhi laughed. “Dont worry about it. Attendance isnt important, passing everything at the end is.”

“Are you confident I will pass then?”

“Mm, I am.”

“Yuhi, why aren’t you asking me if Sano and I did anything?”

Yuhi sighed deeply. “Well I already saw how much you disliked him. Moreover I know how much you like me.” He ended his sentence with a red stained face and Sumire laughed softly. “Brat, quit messing with me so much.”

That is her line, she feels like she is the one being played.

“So Sumire, are you tired?”

Sumire shook her head and a lopsided grin appeared on Yuhis face. “Then lets go have some fun.”
