"Akatsuki, have you seen my book? I wanted to read it again, but I can't seem to find it anywhere..." an all too familiar voice echoed throughout the male wing of the Moon Dorm.
"The one that is pretty much falling apart?" he mused.
"It may be so, but it was a gift that you gave to me a long time ago and it really does mean a lot. Now, I wonder where it could have gone…" she huffed, after nodding in response to the taller male's question.
"What was the missing chapter? Five or six, I can never remember…" he asked, a softly mocking smile tugging at his pale lips.
Scoffing, the female turned around on her heels, hands on her hips.
"You are so full of it! If you don't want to help me look, you can at least ignore the whole thing! Believe it or not, just because you detest that novel, doesn't mean I find it to be garbage. Have you ever even considered it?" argued the (h/c), stomping out of the young man's room.
With a deep sigh, the blond stood from his bed and moved over to the night stand, where, inside one of the wooden drawers, was a brand new copy of the book his lover had been looking for.
Object in hand, he followed on her quick steps outside, where her desperate search carried on.
Trying to get her attention, he cleared his throat, yet she refused to gaze at him. He couldn't help but sigh exasperatedly to himself.
Tears now stained the pristine (s/c) cheeks…
Quietly, he placed the book down upon the bench where she sat, right next to her hand.
"I wanted to see why you liked that thing so much, but when I picked it up the pages literally crumpled." He swallowed, uneasy with the entire situation. "And I knew how much you like that old book, so I couldn't bring myself to tell you that it was gone… So I got a new one for you…"
Wiping the heavy tears away from her eyes, she leaned her head against the male's strong arm as he now sat beside her.
"You didn't have to lie though…" she stated, embarrassed. "I knew it was falling apart."
"I'm sorry, kiddo!" his voice had come out much softer than he had believed it would.
In the end, she wrapped her rather thin arms around his toned torso, receiving a hug from the male in return.
"Then… Do you want to hear the first chapter?" her voice came out muffled into his shirt and jacket.
