She didn't have to see him off. But Sumire figured that he was in a bad mood after what happened last night. Indeed the mont he picked her up from the hospital he didn't say much. It was quite a walk from the train station to here and yet Sumire noticed that he didn't bring his car or even bike. Her gaze flickered towards the man beside her and humd. If he is going to sulk then maybe she ought to do the sa? Still, that surprised her a bit last night. Who would have thought that Yuhi would get that angry?
Her thoughts broke off when she heard the sound of sothing dripping. In the next second when she looked up, she saw heavy droplets of water fall from the sky. Soon it turned into a downpour.
Yuhi grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her aside startling her.
A car quickly went by and Sumire blinked. His senses are as quick as ever.
"Ah, it's raining." She didn't bring an umbrella or anything with her since she did not think she would take long.
It feels like quite so ti has passed since she last watched the rain like this. She almost forgot about the sensation of the rain.
Sensation huh? In the next second, she felt a pair of familiar arms wrap around her and she laughed softly. It seems like he is done with his sulking.
"Be not defeated by the rain, nor let the wind prove you better. Succumb not to the snow of winter, nor be bested by the heat of sumr. Best strong in body. Unfettered by desire."
Sumire blinked when she heard his next words. Her gaze softened. Indeed, it seems like Yuhi-san has a hard ti staying mad at her. Last night he seed quite upset but now there is no longer any trace of that. In fact, she knew that he was struggling not to touch her.
"Not enticed to anger, cultivate a quiet joy."
Yuhi chuckled. "Well, it seems you studied those books I gave you."
Sumire rolled her eyes at his words. "Of course I do. You're a person with good taste in books."
He laughed a little and softly placed a kiss on her forehead. "Just books huh?" He tugged on her hand. "So you ca all the way to see off. But I think you're forgetting sothing."
"Nuh- were not near yet." Sumire imdiately understood what he wanted.
Yuhi mumbled sothing against her cheek. "I thought you would find it romantic, kissing in the rain that is."
At that comnt, she looked at him dumbfounded. Uh, wait is he serious about this? It did not take her long to figure out that he was serious. Yuhi was awkwardly scratching his face and averting his gaze, cheeks flushed.
"Why are you getting embarrassed?"
If he gets flustered she will end up even more embarrassed than before. She already figured that he was going to do sothing weird after the poetry thing but this is beyond her expectations. What is with this person? One second he is so calm and rational then the next he behaves like this. Then again she supposes this is what made them similar.
Normally she is able to keep her composure but when she is in front of this person she loses it in an instance, honestly sotis she wonders what she is doing.
Her lifestyle now differs from before, and she can finally experience happiness. But she cannot let her guard down completely. The mont she lets her guard down is usually when sothing bad happens.
Sumire turned around and got a proper look at his face. By this point, his face was completely red. Her gaze softened as she gently ran her hands across his cheek. This person genuinely cares for her, he genuinely loves her.
"Uh now that I think about it, this is quite embarrassing."
Sumire rolled her eyes. "Are you going to back down now?"
"Well." His lips curve to a smile. "Even if I back down I don't think you will."
"My assault will co when we are at the station."
Yuhi laughed. "I see the town, we should be there in half an hour at most."
Half an hour left huh? Sumire didn't realize how far they had walked without talking. But even then the silence wasn't uncomfortable. Indeed it seems like if it is this person she can truly live a normal life.
I don't deserve happiness or to live a normal life.
I don't deserve to be selfish or to be loved.
But when she is with Terashima Yuhi all those things she doesn't deserve beco a reality. What an odd situation this is. How many years did she spend strengthening her resolve? To think it would all co crumbling down at a single person's words- her thoughts broke off when she saw Yuhi look at her with a gentle smile.
"There is still ti, maybe we should stop by sowhere and eat?"
…..
The place Yuhi brought her to was a fast-food burger joint near the school. Sumire blinked and burst into laughter. Most guys would take the girls they like to a fancy place. But it seems like none of that stuff matters to Yuhi. Then again this is one of the things she loves about him. How he is so straightforward and honest.
Sumire tugged on his arm. "You're not very fancy are you?"
Yuhi looked away awkwardly. "Well, I thought about it and I thought those places would make you uncomfortable."
'Of course, it is for her sake again.' It seems like she has underestimated the love and care he has for her.
"I want to sit by the window."
Yuhi laughed and squeezed their intertwined hands. "I thought the sa too."
Once they took their seat, Yuhi ordered for them. Sumire stared at the man who took his laptop out. "Are you busy?"
"Mmm, just working on sothing so everything runs smoothly tomorrow."
"When the food cos you should focus on the food."
Yuhi chuckled. "I won't over do it."
She wonders why this person can still smile around sobody like her. How can he smile when he knows how ssed up her personality is? 'What an unusual person.' Is he serious about accepting everything about her? If it is Yuhi could she tell him everything?
No, that is a dangerous thought.
If she were to tell him everything then he would most certainly hate her. He would look at her with the sa disgust as everybody else and leave her. She can't afford for that to happen. Now that she has caught a small glimpse of happiness, she does not want to let it go.
How selfish of her to have such thoughts.
Didn't she let go of such aningless thoughts before?
Happiness is a foreign existence for her.
It was sothing she let go of a long ti ago. Sobody like her does not deserve to be happy. A person like her should continue living in despair, the right to be happy - she should not have such thoughts at all.
