Kiria's POV continued...
"He's here!" called an alert Lea peering through the window curtain.
With one final breath I forced myself to walk over to the door and opened it. Ikuto wore a black polo with loose blue jeans and black dress shoes. In his hand was a simple daisy, his hand outstretched towards me.
"Wow I'm impressed no breaking and entering and a house gift, such manners" I teased.
"Well don't get to comfortable" he smirked. "After all I intend to make myself right at home."
"Fine but try not to mess up the place okay?"
"Wouldn't dream of it" he whispered in my ear before entering my house.
I watched his expression carefully as he seemed to be examining the place.
"Does it live up to your standards?"
"Yes but I'll have to deduct points for the lack of food."
A grin broke out on my face which soon became a laugh.
"Should be here any—"
A knock at the door echoed throughout the house as I hurried over a relieved the delivery man of his services. I barely had enough room to hand him the cash and carry the bags of takeout before setting them down on the coffee table. We took a seat on the couch before digging in.
"You like your ramen?" I asked.
"Mmm Hhmmm" was all he managed before continuing to eat.
So I simply did the same and finally we were full. I leaned back into the couch and he did the same, our knees touching. I found myself getting lost in those eyes of his before turning away embarrassed as anything.
"So I realized something."
"Yah" I asked.
"You're always so independent, living on your own and all…why?"
"Because I don't really need anyone as long as I have Lea I'm fine."
"She won't be there forever you know."
"Neither will Yoru."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you and I have more in common than you think."
He pretended to think it over before replying, "Not true I can actually cook."
"Hey!"
He let out a laugh before returning to his usual state though the smile hadn't quite disappeared. There was something about him that made him so hypnotic but it felt sickening to toy with this boy's feelings.
"I'm sorry this was a mistake." I say getting up to leave the couch.
Suddenly a firm hand pulls my arm making me turn around and once again stare up at those eyes of his though I could only see the intense glare reflecting in my own eyes.
"Why do you do this?"
"Do what?"
"Make me feel this way" I state getting angry. "You toy with me and I do the same but it's never going to amount to anything, we should just stop right now!"
A mixture of surprise and anger show on his face clear as the night sky.
"So this is all a game to you?!"
"No that's not what I meant!"
"Than what did you mean?!"
"I shouldn't like you, no in fact I don't like you I HATE YOU!"
"For what caring about you?"
"No one cares about me except for Lea and I don't trust you!"
"Why?!"
"Because you make me question myself and what I'm doing!"
"What are you doing then?!"
"I…I can't answer that!"
"Why not?!"
"Just take my advice and stay away from me I don't want you to get hurt!"
I jerk to leave again but this time he pins me to the floor. His arms on top of mine and his gaze wild and intense, I can't keep doing this. My expression wavers before masking on my care and concern with a look of disgust and hate.
"I WANT to be around you Kiria! Did you ever think that you had an effect on me to?"
"You don't act like it!"
"Of course I don't! Because as much as I want to deny it I feel drawn to you like…like somehow you're the only one who understands this pain that I've felt for so long, the pain of being isolated and having to act a certain way."
"I…" I trail off in shock.
"If you hate me then tell me, tell me to leave and I'll walk out that door never to disturb you in any way again."
"I—"
"You what?!"
"I can't! Okay?!"
Suddenly he leans his face down close, so close that our lips are almost touching but they're not because he asks softly, "Why not?"
My throat is dry and it almost comes out in a whisper before saying, "Because I can't, if I said that then it would be a lie."
Before I know it his lips are on mine…hard. This kiss is rough and desperate and I kiss back with as much force as I can hungry for the taste and the smell of it. My hands grip his shirt as if he would disappear before my eyes. I am selfish and do not want him to leave for I have become just as much drawn to him as he is to me.
His hands wrap around my waist pressing me into him as if we were one. I let out a small gasp of surprise before his lips our on mine again and I explore his mouth with my tongue leaving no stone unturned. This causes him to moan and he whispers my name between kisses.
We split apart breathing heavily, his forehead with tiny beads of sweat. I am tired and exhausted and will deal with the pain and regret tomorrow but for now I only want him. As if reading my mind he scoops me up before lying down on the couch with me on top of him my head resting on his chest.
"Is this okay?" he asks.
I lean in and give him a slow kiss of approval before he smiles and turns off the lamp on the coffee table. Then his arms wrap around me protectively and when I look at him he is fast asleep.
Ikuto looks so peaceful and almost…childish when he sleeps. Perhaps maybe things will work out and we could always be like this…together
My eyelids feel heavy as the last thing I see is Ikuto's smile in his sleep before doing the same. That night I sleep better than I have in a long time, peacefully.
