6 - Them
They were a pair – Yuki and Machi.
He could tell it right away. As well as Kyo and Tohru.
The first time he saw Kyo and Tohru together, chatting with smiles on their faces, he could tell – the way he looked at her – as if he wanted her but couldn't tell her, afraid of rejection. The way his eyes told her everything, the way his lips mouthed, "I want to tell you everything".
And the way her eyes sparkled whenever she looked at him, the way she said his name with such a cheerful ring to is, it was music to him, and the way her body moved closer to his body than any others.
He could tell – they were meant for each other.
Yuki… and Machi… Both were dense when it came to love – love was complicated. It was strange, intangible, sometimes not even a person know how to love.
When he first saw them, there was nothing. Maybe a spark of interest and a bit of worry but that was it.
However, whenever the council went on meetings or just to have fun, Machi's eyes started to sparkled whenever they mentioned the president – her cheeks flushed, giving her a cute look.
Yuki had thought that was cute too. The way her cheeks turned red, just a tiny bit and not too much so it turned her into a tomato… Her lips curving in to a pout so cutely…
Yuki had admitted that he thought Machi was cute to Kakeru.
Kakeru had gasped and called Yuki a perverted old man even though that was not true.
Yuki only flushed with anger and yelled back.
That was how their friendship was – arguing.
But… Soon, they began to look at each other, just barely, with a slight tint of red on the cheeks.
Kakeru noticed, of course he did, he notices a lot of things.
He gave them a little nudge.
Maybe it'll work…
