Beautiful Lie [ Chapter 4 : Sleep ]

Kise smiled when he remembered about yesterday . Can't wait to meet her again today … He sighed . Is this 'love' ? A strange , warm feeling that lingers in your heart , making you smile even without thinking about it .

"-se ! Oi !"

Honestly , they're noisier than usual …

"Kise ! Oi ! Watch out !"

Leave me alone , damn !

"Kise ! It's coming !"

Huh ? It's coming ? What the …

Wait …

Just … wait …

Just when Kise began to realize what's happening , a ball came flying straight to his face . Unable to dodge it , Kise ended up on the floor , covering his face with his hands .

Silence .

I was hit by a ball …

Silence .

Why … ?

Kise heard footsteps , coming to his direction .

What happened , actually ? Why … -

His thoughts were cut off when Kasamatsu's fist collided with his face . Hissing in pain , he only managed to mutter , "Senpai , why ?"

"Don't you dare to ask me 'why' , Kise !" Kasamatsu snapped .

"What did I do ?" Kise whined . What a bad day , I really should SMS Midorimacchi to ask about my horoscope ranking everyday … He thought , pouting .

"What the hell ?! Kise ?! You're playing basketball and all you did was just standing there like a statue ?! What are you , a monument ?!" Kasamatsu snapped , while Moriyama and Hayakawa restrained him from coming to Kise .

"Uh , really ?" Kise asked , trying to remember .

Okay , attempt failed . Kise can't remember at all .

"Kise , seriously ? You can't remember that we're having practice right now ? Do you suffer from amnesia ?" Hayakawa asked , eyes widen .

"Hayakawa , it's impossible to have amnesia so sudden okay ? And , Kasamatsu , will you stop ?" Moriyama scoffed , irritated with the whole situation . Really , when did Kaijou's basketball team become overrun by kids …

"Oi ! What are you guys doing ?! Stop slacking off !" their coach , who happened to be a bad mood , shouted .

"Coach , why don't we cool our heads first ?" Hayakawa asked , looking at their coach .

"Five minutes only !" he decided and all of them walked out of the court .

.

Kise dunked the ball hard as the buzzer beater rang . When his feet reached the floor , Kise panted from exhaustion . He ran his fingers through his hairs , and he heard some girls' squealing . Smiling , Kise waved at the girls back .

"I can't imagine your life , Kise ." Moriyama , who stood beside him , said .

"Why ?"

"Isn't it hard , to have fans following wherever you go ? I mean , I would love to get their attention , but in your case , doesn't they seem like some creepy stalker ?" Moriyama asked , furrowing his brows .

"Eh , Moriyama – senpai ! You can't think your fans as a stalker okay ? That's really bad !" he replied , frowning . Now I knew why you're still single , senpai …

"Whatever , how's your date by the way ?" Moriyama looked at him .

"Well , it's fine , I guess ." Kise replied with a broad smile plastered on his face .

"Really ? That's good . And I guessed , that's the reason you were hit by a ball , right ?" smirking , Moriyama glanced at Kise's flustered face .

"Uh , probably …" was what he replied . There's no way to hide this feeling , right Yukira ? He thought as he smiled . Suddenly , a few girls came to him with papers and pens on their hand . No way ! He thought when he saw the girls lining up in front of him .

Kise looked at Moriyama .

"Well , Kise . You should be kind to your fans , right ?" Smirking , Moriyama walked out of the court with the others , leaving Kise with his fans .

.

Okay , I'm tired . He thought as he walked to Suzaku High . Maybe … too tired . He can't believe that he managed to give his autograph to nearly 41 girls . Ignoring the feeling of tiredness , Kise began to walk faster to the school .

.

A sigh of relief escaped from Kise's lips when he stood in front of the art room . He can't suppressed the feeling of wanting to meet Yukira and when he's there , he felt happy . And as if by magic , the thought of meeting her gave him a new strength and energy .

He slid the door opened , only to see Yukira resting her head on her arm , sleeping . Placing his bags against the wall , Kise walked towards her and patted her head . Softly , he whispered , "I'm sorry that I'm late today ."

Kise looked at his watch . It's nearly 5.30 , maybe she's tired . He felt his heart sank . He came here , all the way from Kaijou to see her , to see her kind smile but unfortunately , Yukira's asleep . Tch ! What am I thinking ?

Honestly , Kise can't surpass his urge from extending his arms to Yukira's face , caressing it gently or maybe pulling her into a tight embrace , where he could feel her arms wrapping at his waist . He wanted to do that badly , but Kise knew that he need to control his desire .

Sighing , Kise looked at the table . Just then , he saw a few drawing lying on the table .

His lips formed a smile when he studied the drawings .

This is me . Yukira drew a picture of me .

At at the back of the paper , Kise saw a note that she wrote .

[ Even if the whole world is facing the pouring rain , You'll always be my sunshine , my love ]

Yes , I'll always be your sunshine , Yukira . Whenever or wherever you are . As he thought , Kise folded the paper and put it inside his bag carefully . Kise felt refreshed after he read what she wrote on the paper .

Love is strange . But then , it also unique in it's own way . Before this , Kise never understand the true meaning of love , as he didn't really have a serious relationship with anyone . But now , he began to understand it slowly .

Kise looked at the sleeping girl . Then , he moved forward , slowly and gently , he lifted up her body and carried her bridal style . It felt really good , to have Yukira on his arms , to be the one who's special to her . Deep inside his heart , he felt thankful that he lost the bet and met this girl .

Choosing a certain corner that relatively hidden from other people's sight , Kise sat on the wooden floor and placed Yukira on his lap . She must be really tired , she didn't even stir when I lifted her up .

Just then , Kise pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket with his left hand . Using his free hand , Kise placed Yukira's head on his shoulder . Satisfied , he flashed a smile while he took a picture of them .

Well , it's your fault for being so cute . He thought as he kept his mobile phone , then wrapping his arms around Yukira before closing his eyes .

.

Warmth . She felt warmth . A familiar sensation , scent that she have come to know and adore . Opening her eyes slowly , she felt a heartbeat at her back . Heartbeat ? Who ?

"Kise – kun …" she whispered when she turned her head , only to see the person who held her from behind . Carefully not to disturb the other , she glanced at her watch . It's 6.15 , should I wake him up ?

She watched Kise as he slept soundly ; the way his chest rose and fell in rhythm , the warmth that he gave her . She almost moved closer to him unconsciously .

She can't help it , a small smile appeared on her face . Kise - kun looked so … cute when he slept , so peaceful . She blushed at her own thoughts . Her thought ceases as she heard a soft sigh escaped from Kise's lips .

"Yukira …" Kise murmured , rubbing his eyes .

"Kise- kun , you're awake …" she said with a smile .

"Yeah , can't believe that I fall asleep here ."

"Kise – kun …"

"I know , it's late . But , I can't help it okay …"

"Kise – kun …"

"I'm sorry . Maybe I'm too tired …"

"Kise – kun !"

"Huh ?"

"What's with that attitude ?" she asked , raised a brow at Kise's attitude .

"Uh , well … I thought you're going to be angry ." he replied , looked away to hide his embarrassment .

"Kise – kun , why should I feel angry ? And why are we sitting on the floor together ?"

"Hmm , because … I feel like cuddling you , and that's why we're here ."

"You should wake me up when you came here just now ." she said , pouting .

"Nah , you looked so tired . And I don't want to disturb you ." Kise explained and pinched her cheeks .

"Kise – kun ! Yamero [ Stop it ] !" she said , crossing her arms and gave him a glare .

"Why should I stop ?" he asked , teasing her .

"It hurts actually ." she replied .

"Really ? I'm sorry …" Kise smiled , slightly entertained by her acts .

"Kise – kun , I think we should go now ." he heard Yukira said .

"Yeah , guess so . It's late ." he replied , standing up while he offered his hand to Yukira .

Hands intertwined with each other , both of them head out of the room with the feelings of happiness .
