Time
There aren't enough seconds in a minute. Not in an hour. Never enough for her to make into the necessary days she needs to say goodbye to him again.
She's a stupid woman that way. She can't disagree with him about that.
Unlike him, who can say hello and later-never goodbye-in various languages. But her...she can't bring herself to do so even in her native tongue.
So instead she leans her hip against the wall and crosses her arms over her chest. She gazes fixedly above his head as he adjusts his collar and pats his pockets to make sure his lighter is there.
"You forgot your tie," she points out but makes no move to get it.
He doesn't either. "It's fine, I don't really need it," he says before staring at her expectantly. "Well?" he demands after a moment.
"Well what?" she responds, knowing full well what the problem is. She sneaks at glance at his face. His brows are furrowed and his mouth is curving angrily.
"You stupid woman, I don't have time for this," he berates before kicking off his shoes and stalking towards her. Her whole body freezes. She hadn't expected him to do anything but accuse her of throwing tantrums before leaving angrily.
Instead he grabs her by the waist and pulls her up so that their eyes are level.
"H-hahi! What are you doing?" she yells, trying to push him away.
"Tch." The annoyed little sound he makes ignites her but before she can say anything he kisses her, full on the mouth. It's just lips, and he's being rough, but the contact warms her.
He pulls away after a moment and lets go. "We'll have time later," he calls back as he goes to put on his shoes again.
She falls back against the wall and watches him.
"Bye, Hayato san," she manages to say. "Later."
"Later," he agrees before leaving.
