I sat in my bed, thinking about what had happened. Tadase-kun said something like that to me… I thought.
Flashback
"Even like I am right now, will-"
" 'Will you let me fall in love with you?' " the ever-annoying Ikuto said, bored. Why did he have to be there? Why did Tadase's confession have to happen while Ikuto was in the closet?
"You were eavesdropping?" I asked, furious.
"I couldn't help it. I was stuck here when he blurted it out."
"Blurted? It was totally casual!"
"You seemed to like it well enough."
"Well…" I smiled, remembering how I had felt during the moment Tadase had confessed his love for me. Then I remembered that I was mad at Ikuto. "Hey! Why are you in my bed? You get the floor!" I pointed to the place where he was supposed to be.
"But it's so cold." He complained.
"I don't care! Get the heck out!" I glared him.
"When you say it like that, I don't want to."
I was about to snap something in return, when he pulled me down beside him. I knew he was teasing me, which just made me angrier.
He held me close, close enough so that it was comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. "So warm…" he whispered. "A child's body temperature is rather high. Like a human hot-water bottle."
That really got me. I flipped him over the side of the bed and onto the floor. "Whatever!" I am so not a hot-water bottle! Who does he think he is? He gets sick and I let him stay in my room, and he just insults me?
"Good night!" I snapped. "Ran, the lights!"
" 'K." was the response.
The lights turned off, and I finally had time to sort out my thoughts. So much had happened today, my head was spinning.
I closed my eyes, and slept. When I opened them again, I knew immediately what had happened. I whirled around, and there he was. Just lying there innocently. Once again in my bed!
"Didn't I tell you to sleep on the floor?" I yelled.
He put his lips to my ear. "Maybe you're dreaming." He whispered.
And that was when I made my decision.
I moved my face closer until it was only inches from his. "Well, if this is a dream…." I whispered and leaned a little closer. His eyes widened, I'd never actually been this close to him.
"If this is a dream…." I continued. "then I won't feel any guilt for doing this!" I pushed him with all my might and he fell off the bed with a loud thump.
"Ikuto!" Yoru squealed.
I chuckled and went back to sleep.
Yeah, I had made my decision. The decision to bite back.
