Rima watched Shiki from her dorm room window. His reddish maroon hair glistening the moonlight. The night class had the night of. They were all glad about it. She watched the way he sat next to the lake. He was thinking about something. Rima could tell I wonder what he's thinking about. She found herself asking. Her body jumping form the window as Shiki looked up to her room.
Rima walked over to her bed. Dumping herself on it. Memories flashed into her mind. Memories of the night Shiki came back to the academy possessed. Memories of her fight to bring him back. Everything. She wondered if Shiki still remembered that night. Her body shivered, thinking about it made her feel weak. Just like she was that night.
Rima sat up quickly. She wrapped her arms around her stomach. A small tear falling from her right eye. She didn't want anyone to see her like this. She hated feeling vulnerable.
A soft knock rapped her door. Her hand rubbed way the tears as she spoke. "Come in..." Her door opened letting in her best friend. "Shiki what are you doing here?" She asked as he walked to her bed. Sitting beside her. His scent filling up the whole room. She smiled at him. Trying to act her usual way around him. Her body still wanting to cry.
"Do I need a reason to visit one of my best friends?" He replied. Smiling back at her. He hardly ever smiled and when he did it made her feel special and weak.
She looked up into his amazing sapphire blue eyes. Remembering when they weren't like that. "No." Her voice whispered sadly. Her head turning to look at the wall opposite them. She was trying to block out the tears that wanted to flow.
Shiki liked it when their eyes met. Her light blue eyes beautiful in the dimly lit room. He heard her sad whisper. Had he upset her? His hand turned her back to face him. "Rima…What's wrong? Have I upset you?" He asked. His voice full of worry. Watching as her eyes looked ready to burst. Shiki waited for her reply.
Rima felt his hand turn her back to face him. His voice full of worry. She couldn't look at him. She had let him see her vulnerable side. She wanted to hit herself. "No you didn't upset me" She whispered. Staring at her covers. "Its just I keep having flashbacks of Rido" Rima gathered up the confidence and looked at him. A tear falling yet again form her eye.
Shiki was glad when she started to speak. His feelings then turned to guilt. The same guilt he had when he realised what he- well his father- had done to her after the fight. He wrapped her in his arms. Hearing her sobs against his chest. "I hate myself for what he made me do to you. There isn't a minute that goes by when I don't think about almost losing you." He rested his head on hers. Every word he said was true. He hated himself for what had happened. He shuddered to think of how he would have felt if he lost her like that.
