Late Night
Yzak couldn't sleep. Not with Shiho sleeping beside him yet they're not touching each other. The brunette is sleeping on her other side rather than facing or snuggling him. A sign that she's still upset despite making a truce earlier.
It was a stupid misunderstanding. Just a small one that most couple would laugh about in the future. But as what she wearily pointed out earlier, it's another stupid misunderstanding that's tossed to their growing pile of their little fight bucket. So high that it's stressing Shiho already. And in turn stresses Yzak, too.
He scrunched up his nose a bit, annoyed at remembering the time again when Shiho came home late from the movies with one of her old friends. But thinking now, he wonders if he's annoyed because of Shiho going with Bob (or was it Rob? Whatever, he doesn't matter.) or because of his reaction back then.
Shiho smiled immediately after seeing Yzak that night, she said she wasn't expecting him to be back so soon after a night out with Dearka and Athrun. In retrospect, Yzak should've smiled back or welcomed her home, say that he's also glad that she's back earlier than what she had texted to him that afternoon. Instead, he just stood up and told her he's going to bed.
Feeling rather possessive, Yzak turned around and gently, he placed his arm around Shiho's waist. When Shiho didn't stir from her sleep, he scooted closer. He burrowed his nose to her hair, liking the faint smell of her shampoo.
"Yzak?" The woman called out groggily. He berated himself for waking her up but didn't let her go.
He kissed Shiho's exposed nape, tightening his hold on her. "Sleep, Shiho."
"You, too." Shiho said before shifting to lie on her back and face him. "But something's bothering you."
Adjusting their position, Yzak can now see her eyes open, staring at him inquisitively behind her heavy lids from just being woken. He wondered how can this woman know him so much and still be with him despite his usual demeanor.
"I'm sorry." He blurted out, surprising himself and Shiho. He rarely apologizes or better yet, he rarely apologizes with words sincerely. His apologies are usually thrown into sarcastic comments like 'I'm sorry you suck' or 'Oops. I apologize' then followed by a sneer. But looking at Shiho, he didn't need to tell her that he meant it despite the way he delivered it. She knows it already.
"Apology accepted," She moved her face closer to him, "And I'm sorry, too."
"Apology accepted as well." With their lips with just a breath away, Yzak closes the gap between them. And if Shiho noticed or felt the smile pasted on his lips, she didn't comment about it. And that only made him smile more into the kiss.
