Her Beautiful Eyes

.

"Vanilla latte for Hino!" a voice erupted through the deafening whirs of blenders and clattering dishes.

"Thank you," the raven-haired girl politely said, grasping her coffee like it was a bottle of the elixir of life, the very thing that could save her from being overcome by insomnia. Skillfully maneuvering through the crowded Starbucks and trying to find an empty table, spotted one of her friends engrossed in a book while absently nibbling on a bagel.

"The Coming Plague by Laurie Garrett," she read the title of the book out loud, stealing the attention of her intelligent friend. "How pleasant." A joking tone emerged in her voice, getting a half smile from Ami.

"It came recommended by one of my professors. Actually is quite fascinating," Ami replied, her eyes growing distant and full of wonder as she normally does right before giving an impromptu medical lecture to whomever was around. "It discusses how changing social and environmental conditions cultivates the spread of viruses such as HIV and Ebola and-" her deep blue eyes focused on the person sitting opposite and saw a certain vacancy fill Rei's violet eyes to show that had lost the interest or was preoccupied with something else. It wasn't something that bothered Ami, rather understood that medical sciences was her passion while everyone else had their own ambition. In fact, seeing Rei zone out was rather amusing since she was one of the only ones who tried to follow her medical discussions. A soft chuckle emanated from her throat, bringing Rei out of her haze.

"What?" Confusion painted her face, trying to read Ami's thoughts.

"Nothing. So, you got a vanilla latte? I thought you hated sweet coffee."

"Normally, yes. I don't know, just had a strange craving I guess." Her violet orbs traced the world out through the window streaked with rain. People huddled under brightly colored umbrellas splashed down the sidewalks. Cars advanced on the streets, causing small waves to wash over the asphalt. A couple birds dared to venture out but most stayed in the shelter of the trees, in an effort to keep dry. The sky was imbued with grey, which people would typically call dreary. In truth, rainy days had a certain refreshing element for her spirit. The soft patter of the rain pelting from the heavens caressed her ears, presenting something else to listen to besides the annoying comments and criticisms of society. The dim silver sky provided rest from the sun's bright and harsh light, offering her eyes a chance to relax. Temptation to lean her head on the window, close her eyes, and drift into slumber was becoming stronger, but she couldn't. She had college.

"Curse the rain!" an abrupt voice cut through the air. Rei's eyes were drawn to the owner of the voice, not because of what he said, but was loud and unexpected. A man was standing in front of the door, examining his soaked clothes and trying to fixing his silver hair. Next to him was another man with black hair, laughing and trying to calm down his friend. Apparently he had forgotten his umbrella at home.

Within a moment, Rei had identified them as Yaten and Seiya. To be more specific, a pissed off Yaten and an unhelpful Seiya who wasn't making the situation any better by laughing.

"What time do you have class?" Ami questioned, drawing Rei's attention away from the commotion at the other side of the coffee shop.

"At 2. Though I'm tempted to skip and just take a nap. What about you?"

"At 1:30. I'll have to leave in ten minutes to get there in time."

"Oh." Rei looked down at her coffee. She realized that hadn't even taken a sip of it, the appeal of vanilla vanished. But she had already bought it, so better try to drink it. After 3 gulps, the sweetness became too insufferable, forcing Rei's lips to twist in disgust. She stood from the table and threw it into the nearest trash can, disappointed that she was misled by her senses to buy it in the first place. An amused expression was illustrated on Ami's face when Rei sat back down, looking frustrated.

"I thought you had a strange craving."

"It was too sweet. I don't know what I was thinking." Ami released a little laugh at the raven's expression of annoyance and disgust. However the humorous moment couldn't last as she glanced at her watch, realizing it was time to get to class.

"Well, I better go."

"Me too. I have to stop by the library on my way to class." Rei slung her black messenger bag filled with her notebooks, some textbooks, pencils, and all of her essentials on her shoulder and rose from her seat again. The crowd that was once there had dispersed by now, leaving a clear path to the door. As they neared the exit, something that Rei didn't expect happened.

"Hey Ami! Rei!" Seiya's booming tenor voice called.

"Oh, hi Seiya!" Ami replied brightly. Since she began dating their oldest brother, she had more contact with Seiya and Yaten. In fact, she had become good friends with Seiya.

They went back and forth with conversational formalities, such as "How are you?" and "How has your day been?" all the while Yaten kept his eyes on his coffee, avoiding any contact with the two senshi, hoping that they would leave soon. He found that there was an uncomfortable barrier between the girls and him. An uncomfortable barrier that he had no intention of trying to cross. However, what happened next came as a big shock to him when Ami mentioned that they had to get to class and it couldn't be changed no matter how many disapproving glares he gave Seiya. Something that would nudge him to the very edge of the barrier was about to happen.

"In this weather? Are you getting a taxi?" Seiya asked with concern.

"No, we're walking." Rei chimed in, getting out her collapsible umbrella that fit so nicely in her bag. Yaten raised an eyebrow at this. Her bag looked filled to the brink, but still had managed to fit in an umbrella. 'Must have had Mary Poppins for a teacher or something' he concluded, being half serious. While this happened, he was able to take in her appearance. She was wearing a light brown long sleeve shirt that clung to her slim figure and paired it with a purple infinity scarf. Black skinny jeans hugged her legs and on her feet, she wore black ankle boots. Not that was of any importance to him. He couldn't care less about what she wore.

"Don't be silly. We'll give you a ride." Seiya quickly stuffed the rest of his pastry in his mouth and put on his black coat.

"No, it's not necessary," Rei tried to back out. The very thought filled her with unease. She was never well acquainted with them, especially Yaten, since she went to a different high school. After Galaxia was defeated, she thought they would never see each other again. Thought that they would never give Earth a second thought. That's why it was such a big surprise to her that a year later, the three boys returned to Earth and were going to stay. As 3 years had passed by since their arrival, she had tried to have a somewhat pleasant acquaintance with the three, but it is harder than it sounds. On more than one occasion she had run into Taiki and had shared polite, if not uncomfortable, conversations with him, but he was far more interested in her genius friend and she began to see less of him when he and Ami started dating, after months of awkwardly tiptoeing around their feelings for each other. With Seiya, she always felt a bit more comfortable because of his friendly and open personality, allowing them to become what you could call friends. She felt she could relax when around Seiya. However, with Yaten it was like they were on opposite sides of a 6-foot concrete wall.

"What gentlemen would we be to let two pretty girls walk out in the rain? No, I'll drive you there," Seiya managed after swallowing and nearly choking on the amount of food he previously shoved in his mouth. "Come on Yaten."

Rei noticed how reluctantly Yaten stood up and slid into his dark grey coat, mostly covering a blank white T-shirt. He briefly glanced at her, annoyance embedded in his green eyes, before walking closely behind Seiya. Instead of trying to say something friendly to the silver-haired boy, just trudged after him to the red Mercedes-Benz. All climbed into the car, Yaten claiming shotgun, and sped away towards Tokyo Medical School.

An uncomfortable silence permeated in the small space of the car. Seiya, who normally would be talking endlessly, was too focused on the road for conversation. Glancing to the right, Rei saw Ami fully absorbed in her book about plagues. 'I wish I had a book right now' she thought, mournfully looking in her bag for at least something. She nearly cried in anguish to discover she left her beloved MP3 at home, charging. Resigned to looking out the window, getting lost in her thoughts. The rain was coming down harder now, producing a slapping sound on the windshield.

Yaten, who had been staring out at the passing buildings and other cars, had been replaying bits and pieces of conversations from earlier today.

'Come on Yaten. Just try to be sociable for once in your life.' Seiya told him earlier in the cafe when they spotted Rei and Ami at a table across the room.

'I don't see the point. Having a relationship with anyone is overrated and unnecessarily inconvenient. They expect you to drive them everywhere, call them and talk for hours, and spend all of your money on them. Forget it.'

'You think that our relationship is overrated and inconvenient, brother?'

'At this moment, yes. Yes I do.'

Yaten snorted. Seiya had just proved his point that relationships were inconvenient. Here they were, driving the girls to school when he just wanted to go home. 'What kind of gentlemen would we be to let two pretty girls walk out in the rain?' these words drifted into his mind. He was forced to admit that calling them pretty wasn't a lie.

Particularly for Rei.

This thought induced his green eyes to find her reflection in the rear view mirror.

She was, in fact, very attractive to him. Her shapely pink lips, high cheekbones, and small nose formed quite an appealing face. She had such long and smooth hair that looked to be softer than silk. Strange that from a distance, her hair looked black but up close could clearly see that hues of violet were woven into the somewhat messy strands. Her big amethyst eyes, a rare find on this planet, framed by long dark eyelashes alone could cast entrancing spells if they wished to. Remembered one particular instance when he too was enchanted by their spell.

Yaten had to look away and swallow the large amount of saliva that his mouth had produced. He refused to drool over anybody like his fans did to him. Just staring with their mouths open, spit running down their chins. It was disgusting.

Against his will, his eyes peeked into the mirror again to get one last look at her only to discover her looking straight at him. Quickly looked back out the window at the dreary scenery, trying to calm his racing heart with deep breaths. He tried to erase the image of her eyes but found it impossible. Her eyes would forever be imprinted in his mind, would haunt his dreams by night and his thoughts by day. Her beautiful eyes.

Finally! Another drabble for my all-time favorite couple!
