PART 1
*Present, Tokyo*
Kyoko woke up from her dream with a big blush and a gasp. With a shaky hand she touched her lips. How could I forget my promise with Corn? She tried to imagine how would he look all grown up. He definitely would be tall and muscular. She was sure of that. Probably his hair would be a mess on his head as always. She giggled at that. They were like sun so bright and so nice in touch. She sighed on the memory. Her heart started beating faster and a small but beautiful smile graced her face. But what she loved the most where his eyes. They were of the color of the forest where they met. I always felt like I could explore every inch of this forest. Just like I did in ours. Sometimes when he looked up his eyes changed colors. And they would become bluish with green dots in them. They looked like our stream with leafs flowing on it. So wild and true.
While she was lost in her thoughts, memories, she ended up being on her way to work. She had some love me papers to fill in. When she was leaving her bike in a garage of LME a nagging thought run truth her head and she froze. Does me loving Tsuruga-san means that I'm cheating on Corn?! She was lost. She knew she loved Tsuruga-san but she promised to be with Corn. Well it's not like I could ever be with Tsuruga-san. He would never choose such a plain and boring girl like me. She sighed at the thought and relaxed a little bit. But I should get some space between me and Tsuruga-san. I should probably be careful not to jump so often into him. And now that we don't have to act as Heel siblings anymore it shouldn't be that hard. She thought with sadness. Beside it's not like Corn will ever come back. He probably forgot about the promise anyway and me. I'm just being my stupid self hoping for impossible. Hoping for someone to love me for me. She felt like it didn't matter. If Corn didn't come, that means the promise is broken. What should I do with a stone than?
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't see two dark figures getting closer to her. And even if I met him again and he would want to marry me out of duty to his promise. Would I let him do that? For a prince to marry such a plain and boring girl. That wouldn't do any good to him. The aura around her got even sadder. The taller figure stopped behind her and could see her hunched back. Which was rare for this girl. She was always so uptight and her posture was perfect. What happened? He really was curious. He and his manager was calling to her for few minutes already and yet she didn't even respond. He got closer to her and stood on her side. He bowed so that his face was under hers and looked on her turned down face. Her brows were knotted together. Her teeth were playing with her lower lip while the grimace was formed on her beautiful face.
"Mogami-san?" He asked from his position. So he could see her reaction. And there was nothing. His brows furrowed as well and he became worried. He moved his hand and touched her cheek. "Mogami-san?" He asked again. That got her attention. She looked up and froze. Her face went pale and her lips parted. After few very long seconds she jumped away from him and screamed as if she saw a ghost. She went on her knees and clutched her to fast beating heart. For a second there I thought I saw Corn! When that light hit his hair I thought it was blond and… Stupid me! But there is this saying: Think of the devil and he will appear! Beside I was thinking about Tsuruga-san as well so probably I willed him to come here. I need to apologize! But still a little bit shaken she couldn't really speak or move. "Mogami-san, are you alright?" She could hear worry in his voice. She willed herself to relax and respond. But her voice was still stuck in her throat. "I'm sorry if I scared you but you wouldn't respond when I called your name for few minutes already so I got worried." She looked up at him with a shocked expression. He was worried about me! Stupid! Don't be happy about it! Kyoko cleaned her throat and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry for worrying you, Tsuruga-san." She bowed slightly while still kneeling on the ground. She wasn't so sure if her legs regained their strength. "I'm fine. I was just a little bit lost in my thoughts." She gave him a small, shy smile. His heart bitted faster on this sight. But she knew if she won't change the subject or have him a decent answer he's not going to let it go. She sighed. She knew the perfect topic that will get him distracted. "And to add to this I forgot to eat breakfast." Hopefully he will bite the catch.
"Eh Mogami-san it's really rare for you." Got you! "And here you're always the one who gives me a proper lecture about eating and you're actually skipping it." He looked so smug at this moment. Kyoko's brow twitched. Yashiro being wise he stood away from them. You walked into this one by yourself buddy!
"Oh so please tell me, oh the great one, what have you eaten on this fine morning?" She said with a big, fake smile on her face. Ren's eyes widened and you only could hear him gulp. Maybe I went a little bit overboard. He thought. "Wait! Let me guess." She put her finger on her lips. Pretending to be deep in thought. "Was it only a black coffee?" She asked with a sweet, too sweet smile plastered to her face. Not being able to lie to her and not wanting to admit that it was actually the truth. He just turned his head away from her. Yashiro couldn't help but think. Is he a child!? "Ha I knew it! Tsuruga-san…" And she started her lecture about how important is food for you. Yashiro wanting to help his charge and his friend looked down on his watch. Good he still have 45 minutes till we have to head for the first meeting. He decided to break her scolding.
"Good than that we met you Kyoko-chan." She looked surprised at him, while Ren was glaring daggers at his manager. "You see, it's really hard to force this mull to eat anything healthy. And you see I wanted to send him now to eat some breakfast before he will have to start work, while I have to sign some papers. But you know how he is, if you lose a sight of him he's going to end up eating some onigiris or something as unhealthy as them." He knew that he was exaggerating a little bit. Kyoko nodded. While Yashiro could feel heated glare of his charge but he couldn't let this opportunity to just pass them. He smiled. "So I thought that maybe if you have some time now you could take him for breakfast and make sure that he will eat. That would help me a lot. I'll know that he won't faint at work from lack of nutrition." He faked a tired sigh. Kyoko's eyes widened at the last sentence. She glared at Ren.
"How can you worry Yashiro-san so much! I'm going to force you to eat everything. Let's go!" She turned around and went to the elevator. Ren following her like a puppy. While Yashiro was left with a big grin on his face. Mission Get Kyoko and Ren to eat breakfast together accomplished!
They were standing in an elevator. Kyoko sighed. And here I go and make a space between me and Tsuruga-San flew out the window. She sighed. I start from tomorrow. She decided with determination. Ren was standing next to her and was just observing her facial expressions with a kind smile on his face. He loved how fast she could change it. He got worried when he saw her slightly depressed after getting into elevator look but just in few seconds it changed into face of determination. He still was curious about her earlier behavior and he wouldn't let her drop it till he'll be satisfied with her answers. He just couldn't believe how easily he got inside her trap.
"So Mogami-san, what had you so troubled earlier?" He asked, while looking at her. She looked up at him with wide eyes.
"It's nothing important Tsuruga-san." She said with a small smile. He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Mogami-san if it wasn't that important than I'm sure you wouldn't forget to eat your breakfast and you wouldn't have such an upset face." He said. His eyes searching hers for answers.
"It's nothing important, really. It's just silly." She said with a small voice. But she got saved by the opening doors of an elevator. "Let's go eat, Tsuruga-san. I'm really hungry." She put a big smile on her face and went to the cafeteria to buy them food. But before she could get far he caught her hand to stop her. She looked up at him with a surprise. She willed the blush to not appear on her face.
"I'll order Mogami-San. How about you find a place to sit?" He asked her with a fake smile on his face. She cringed. He's mad! She dumbly nodded.
"Just take something healthy, please!" She said with a sigh. She didn't have strength to fight with him today. And she already decided to try and avoid him from tomorrow. She found a small table in a corner of the cafeteria. While waiting for him she got lost in thoughts. It looked like he did that a lot today. What should I tell Tsuruga-san? It's not like I can tell him about my promise with Corn. But he's suspicious and he won't let it drop. I have to tell him something. She blinked few times when she realized that Tsuruga-san come back and put their breakfast in front of her.
"Thank you." She said with a smile on her face. Being happy that he listened to her and took a normal breakfast. He took omelets with some veggies inside and two fresh orange juices. He smiled back at her. He sat in front of her and took his plate with a juice. They started eating. She could feel him still being mad at her. She decided to tell him something. "I'm missing Setsu and Cain." She blurted out the first thing that come to her head. Well it was true. She blushed at her words. He stopped eating and looked up at her. "I spaced out earlier thinking that Heel siblings ended and I got upset. I'm sorry for worrying you with silly things like that." She hoped that he would believe her. It wasn't the complete lie. She missed them. A lot. And now that she thought about it she felt she is going to get depressed again.
"It's not silly Mogami-san." He put his hands on his knees just to stop them from taking hers. Now it was her turn to look up at him. "I miss Setsu too. And her cooking." He smiled at that. Her eyes widened. She didn't know if to be jealous of Sestu or not. It was part of her, yes but still she wished he would say it with her real name. He looked like he was deep in thoughts so she started eating again with a small smile on her face. "Maybe if you want you could come over to my place and cook for me few times a month as Setsu? And I'll act as Cain?" He asked her. He didn't know why he proposed something so stupid but he just wanted to see her more often. He saw her blink few times and then blush.
"I wouldn't want to impose on you. That would be rude." She said with a blush.
"You wouldn't impose on me. After all I suggested it. I would really appreciate it. And I think my health as well." He added the last sentence to make her more willing to come. He could see her bite her lower lip and actually consider it. She's considering it!
"Than I would love to." She smiled at him.
"How about I call you later and we'll arrange when you can come over?" He asked her with a big smile on his face. And she just nodded shyly. He looked down on his watch and sighed. "I'm sorry Mogami-San but I have to go and I can't walk you to-"
"Oh that's okay Tsuruga-san. Thank you for everything. Have a nice day at work!" Faster than a light she took the plates from their table and she put them where you have to put the used dishes. He just chuckled. She's so cute!
I was suppose to avoid Tsuruga-san from tomorrow! And here I agreed to meet with him few times a month in his apartment! It'll be just me and him! That's bad! That's really bad! What would Corn think of me?! She stopped at that thought. Would that be cheating? And the worry come back. She changed her clothes on Love Me jumpsuit. But then Tsuruga-san is my respectful sempai it's not like we're together. So it's not cheating. Corn would understand. She put her head on the closet with a big sigh. She went to the desk and started to do her job. After an hour of working and distracting herself with it from thoughts of Tsuruga-san or Corn, she couldn't help this nagging feelings and thoughts to come back. She put her head on a desk and looked on the wall. Do I love Corn? That was the question that was on her head from this morning. Yes, she cared for him. Yes, she missed him. Yes, she thought that he was handsome. But was this love? Were this the same feelings that she had for Tsuruga-san? She didn't know. Corn I miss you! She sighed. Now that she remembered her promise with him it was harder for her. I have to forget my feelings for Tsuruga-san. What if Corn come back? Even though she knew it was almost impossible to do. And even if Corn really come back, he wouldn't want to be with her. She smiled a sad smile and with a new determination she decided to fight her feelings for her senpai.
