Now that Yuhi ntioned it, it surprised her when she found out they attended the sa school. However, she should have realized that he would enroll in a liberal arts high school.
Out of all the ones in Tokyo, why would he choose 'Iro road'? There were other top-rated art schools, so Sumire knew the chances of eting him were slim.
It shouldn't have been possible to et. It may have been the initial surprise that kept her from speaking with him at first. But even then, she could have spoken to him properly. However, ever since he broke into her apartnt that night, old feelings she had locked away had resurfaced. Of course, those feelings then were re recollections of the past. At that ti, she was with Mamoru after all.
That feeling was hard to describe. But even now, she rembers it so well. So when she saw Yuhi again it all ca back.
When their every day intertwined with each other. She gradually beca self-conscious of his because that single action of returning to being her partner already showed how much he cared for her.
So when she kissed him in the science prep room, as 'surprising' as it was for him, that action was not without thought.
Her cheeks turned redder at the mory; there is no way she can tell him that.
"I wonder what you rember now, Sumire."
He-- doesn't know; there is no way she is telling him. Even now, he is teasing her so much. What would happen if he knew what she thought?
"It's sothing I don't know about, huh?"
Eh? He's figured it out already. Sumire buried her head in his neck, causing his laughter to increase.
"Don't be shy. If I think about my actions towards you initially, I can pretty much narrow it down. You don't have to tell ."
"Yuhi, I get embarrassed. My confidence can only last so long. The stuff you do is bad for a person's heart." She trails off and pulls away slightly so she could see his face. "It's bad for , but I like it so much."
She loves it a lot, being touched by those strong hands of his. Even though he holds back when he is with her, she enjoys it when he breaks those shackles.
"Mmm, I know. When you started blushing like that, of course, I beca curious. So for a while, I gradually overstepped my boundaries, and each ti you'd react the sa."
"Y--you set up?" Sumire said, startled.
Yuhi is one of the easiest people for her to trick. But now that she thought it through, Yuhi is the sa type of person as her.
"Well yeah, I had to. I couldn't just brush off what I saw. I thought then if there was the slightest chance you were attracted to , it wouldn't hurt to give it a go. The chances were against from the start anyway. So I thought I might as well give it a chance."
She frowns at that comnt. "You should have believed in our relationship more. Weren't we pretty close than necessary then too? You didn't think I liked you any more than a friend?"
"It was impossible for to think of sothing that would have a happy outco for myself."
Right they are the sa type; that's why this shouldn't surprise her. "What kind of places did you go to?"
Yuhi laughed. "You want to hear?"
"Mm, I am curious where you went."
When Yuhi left, he didn't return to his career right away. So Sumire suspected that he did so dangerous jobs first.
"I went to so countries that needed help. Countries were facing a war every day. Initially, I just wanted to find a quiet place, and I was tired, you see."
Indeed, when he was a mber of the underground organization with her, Sumire noted how busy he was every day.
He was busy and always hurt. She hated seeing him that way.
"But after I stepped out of the country and relaxed for a bit. In the airport, I looked over at the lines for the immigration center. There were so many people, so many just barely escaped their countries. When I saw that sight, I changed my ticket and went there myself."
He did sothing so dangerous. Why would he do sothing like that?
What a stupid question, he is like herself. If it were, she wouldn't be able to leave those people alone either.
..
It surprised her how they both fell asleep after that conversation. But then again, even when Yuhi held her, she noticed how tired he was. Her gaze fell on the man beside her. Originally when he suggested they live together, it baffled her. They are both still high school students, and she knew many people looked down on them both.
She does not care what others say about her but insulting Yuhi is a no. Sanos words echoed in her mind about her dragging him down. In the end, that person understands her mindset better than she does. It is frustrating that he still understands her.
Just as she thought that she heard her phone ringing sound, she imdiately knew who it was due to the ring tone.
From: Sano
Do you want to co over?
A knowing ah passed her lips. He understands her very well and knows she hates rainy days. When he first brought that up not too long ago, it surprised her. He noticed sothing like that when they dated. She was nothing but his toy, but he noticed sothing like that. Maybe she was important to him?
From: Sumire.
It's alright. Yuhi is ho today.
After she typed out that ssage, she received a call from him.
"Yes?"
"I want to see you for a bit; go out."
She didn't get a chance to say anything since he ended the call. Could it be he is outside? She focused on what she heard earlier and bit her lip. He must be around here.
Sumire quickly got dressed and quietly but hurriedly exited the room. Thankfully the other guys were no longer around. They probably left when they realized what she and Yuhi were doing.
The mont she opened the door, a familiar pair of arms pulled her into his embrace. "San?"
"You're alive."
Her eyes widened when she heard those words. It only took her a mont to realize that he was trembling badly. "San-- what's--" Her eyes widened when she spotted sothing red from the corner of her eyes.
"Blood?"
