Book girl and her undiscovered love
Something was definitely wrong with Tohko-sempai.
…No wait a minute, something was already wrong about Tohko-sempai eating stories. Now that I thought about it, there were many wrongs about Tohko-sempai, such as kept on reading non-stop, dragging me to her literature club and not to mention about how she accidentally eaten a library's book… …
"Yep!"
A small sound of surprise escaped from a girl's mouth behind me. Turning around, I managed to catch a glimpse of a pair of dark blue braids before it disappeared to a corner which confirmed my suspicion of the culprit. Even so, confirming who was the one kept on avoiding me did not answer that was troubling me for a long time…
Just why the hell did Tohko-sempai kept on avoiding me?
xX Book Girl Xx
Tick, tick, tick
The sound of my ballpoint pen knocking on the old wooden table was oddly the only sound could be heard in this old dusty room. Always after Tohko-sempai "recruited" me to the literature club, she would came for my class after school and dragged me to the old literature room, which was a rather small room with just a table, two chairs and small mountains of books surrounding it. Tohko-sempai would always force me to write some "snacks" for her, and while I was at it she would unconsciously told me about the book that she was reading.
Until now…
Munch, munch
That was the unusually sound of a paper being eaten. I looked up at the girl who was sitting just to the left opposite of me. She had a pair of dark blue eyes which matched her hair. The girl was now sitting curled up on the chair unladylike, her panties was almost shown but her skirt carefully blocked it. She was non other the one who dragged me to this club, Tohko-sempai.
Munch, Munch
Another sound of paper being eaten can be heard again, even so the unusual silent continued because the lack of Tohko-sempai's voice. Recently, instead of telling me about the stories she was reading, after school she would simply gave me three tittles and then took out a mysterious book that she was reading recently. She would carefully read the book behind her knees that blocked my vision. The day before yesterday, I tried to snatch the book from her when she was eating my story, but only to get bash on the head by a very thick book that came out of the mountains of books.
"Ko, konoha-kun, have you finish writing?" Tohko-sempai asked, for some reason I noticed that her face had became faintly redder than usually when she finally lifted her head up to look at me.
I kept on staring at Tohko-sempai redden face, funnily, it seemed that the more I stared her face would became redder. Thus I kept on staring at her face.
… … …
After a few seconds, I thought that I saw a puff of red smoke burst out of her head before she bent and hid her face behind her knees.
"Ko,ko,konno,ha-kun, why are you staring me like that?" Tohko-sempai asked with her face hidden behind her knees. Ah, because of Tohko-sempai's redden face I have forgot about the story.
"Say Tohko-sempai," I asked, watching Tohko-sempai carefully tore the paper and ate it slowly.
"Umm?" Tohko-sempai stopped half-way while and "asked" when biting a piece of paper, for some reason, she never turned to face me as usual, she only kept on staring into space in front of ignoring me. If you looked closely you would noticed that there was still some faint red color on her face. I wondered why her face was so red recently, did she had a fever?
"…Nothing, tell me about the story after you finish it." With that I slightly closed my eyes to rest. I wondered what would Tohko-sempai thought if she read that kind of story…
Munch, munch…munch
After a few minutes, I no longer heard the munching sound. I opened my closed eyes and looked at Tohko-sem…
… …
Eh?
The usual Tohko-sempai was not on her own private chair, or rather she disappeared from her chair.
…Where did she gone to?
"Konoha…" Someone called me from behind, from the sound it was non doubt that it was Tohko-sempai. Wait a minute did she just called me Konoha?
I tried to turn my head to look at the mysterious Tohko-sempai but only to freeze as I felt her hands on my shoulders. I slightly shivered at the strange and sudden movement of hers, I have an odd feeling about this.
"Konoha…You really shouldn't write that kind of story Konoha. It makes me very honest you know…" By now, instead of hands on my shoulder, her arms had slipped down and lightly embraced me from behind as she said just beside my right ear. I shivered but blushed when I felt her breath at my right ear.
The usual blue sky outside had turn rather darker than usual. The silence was only broken when the sound of rain began to destroy this silence. By now, I was blushing madly with Tohko-sempai hugging me from behind.
"Neh Konoha," She started the conversation and now, she placed her head at my right shoulder with her left cheek touching my right crimson right cheek. At a distance so close, I could have kissed her when I turned my face. I swore that I felt a puff of smoke busted out of me as I blushed madly, wanting to turn and looked at this Tohko-sempai but don't dare to risk…accidentally kissing."
"Ye, es? Tohko-sempai?"
"Do you…love me?" Tohko-sempai asked, with her arms tightening around me.
"…Eh?"
Boom
The light of the thunder shone the room for a second before disappearing to nothingness. The rain was pouring down upon the almost empty school, the only students left were Tohko-sempai and I and leftover students that were beginning to left school.
"Eh…emm….." Facing such sudden question, I could only try to make some voice but no word came out. I shivered again as her arms began to hug my neck, with her head just beside mine.
"…I think, I have fallen in love with you, Konoha." She said slowly with passion as her breath gently touched my ears.
Eh? …Wha, what was Tohko-sempai talking about!
"Do you know Konoha, why did I always finish up your stories even though I dislike them?" Tohko-sempai shifted a little bit as she began to lean her head on mine.
Seriously, I don't know. Most of the time, I would wrote some ghost stories that Tohko-sempai hated, just to annoy her or see her cute angry face. Even so she would always finish up the stories whether she likes it or not. I have always wondered why would she do that.
"…Because those precious stories that Konoha written just for me. Unlike famous stories such as "The phantom opera" and "Through the narrow gate", those stories were for all the people in the world to enjoy. However Konoha, your stories were only written for me. I have never forgotten any of your stories that I have eaten. So Konoha…I have a selfish request for you."
I felt some weight lifted off from my shoulder as she withdrew her head and her arms began to leave me. By now, instead of dark thunder clouds, rain had already ceased and only the night sky with the full moon hanging in the darkness can be seen through the small window. I was still too stunned by Tohko-sempai's sudden confession, in my heart I felt something burning brightly inside me that should have been locked away years ago. Finally, Tohko-sempai came out from behind me.
Under the full moon, I suddenly realized that how beautiful Tohko sempai was. Her peaceful pair of blue eyes and her two long braids than always followed her around. She came in front and sat across my lap gracefully and leaned her body towards mine, with her head leaning at the same shoulder again. This peaceful moment continued for a few seconds before she finally said her request.
"Konoha, would you become my author?"
Tohko asked, with her head looking up to me. Finally, after a long time, our gazes had finally met. Her peaceful eyes met my caring eyes that I had long ago locked in the dept of my heart.
"Yes I will, Tohko."
With that, Tohko smiled at me…
…and kissed me in the cheek.
…
Satisfied, Tohko smiled at me lovingly one last time as she began to sleep on my lap. As for me, I blushed madly like crazy and eventually passed out, with Tohko resting her head peacefully on my shoulder.
A/N: With that I end "the book girl and her undiscovered love", there will be a small second chapter to explain about why Tohko suddenly become so "emotional". I originally wanted to put all in a one-shot but how serious this chapter was made me hesitant. I guess that those who have finished the novels will know why would she act like that. Again I apologize for any grammar mistake because I have bad grammar. Pls R&R!
