Heart
Even after knowing each other for so long, there were things that Enma kept hidden from her, and the girl knew. He had never spoken to her about his life, about how it was like to live with the other transfer students, about his likes and dislikes.
On the other hand, she told him everything – from how she often got chased to class by Hibari Kyoya when she arrived to school late, to how she wanted to kick her little brother off the bed whenever he snored.
She only wished for Enma to rely on her, to talk to her like she talks to him; she wanted him to know that his existence and his well being mattered to her.
She wanted him to know that she loved him.
As she lay on his lap under the night sky, Enma kept his gaze fixed on the stars. There was something distant about that expression of his; it was cold and unfamiliar, and it made her uneasy.
And when she reached out hesitantly to touch his face, those eyes lit up at once, and he smiled gently down at her worried expression. It was his way of telling her that all was fine, that she need not be too concerned.
She knew then, that it was going to take some more time, and even more of her patience, before he would embrace her completely, and trust her with his very heart.
For now, she would wait, but there will come a day when no secrets will exist between them.
And then, their hearts will beat as one.
I'm back! Sorry I took so long to update., and thank you for all the lovely comments! I'll try to work faster, but no guarantees that the chapters will be any longer. If anything, they just seem to get shorter…
And to answer Itsuko-chan's question: Nope, it's not femTsuna, sorry. She's an OC. In fact, Tsuna will be mentioned very soon, probably in the next few chapters.
Anyway, there have been many small, almost insignificant exchange of gifts between Enma and the girl (I really need to name her soon), did you guys manage to spot them?
The chapters are going to become a bit darker and lonelier very soon, and it's going to be harder to spot the kind of "gifts" that are exchanged between them, but I hope you will all still like it nevertheless.
