HEYO! Sorry if I'm inactive! Sorry if this took too long! So, I forgot to tell you on "Chapter 2: Seriously?" The part 'His smiles were very confusing to her' is a reference to Fangirl, the book. And I showed it here, too. Sorry it's short. ; D ;

She blushes but nods, not feeling to lie in front of the man. The man's grin widened at this as his swinging got slower. She looks at her feet, feeling warmth all of over her face as her heart pounded terribly loud.
Bossun might even hear it, she thinks and closes her eyes, managing to calm herself down. She opens it and is met with brown eyes staring at her, in front of her. She flinches back, falling but didn't hit the ground as another warmth and a pair of arms surrounded her waist. She opens her eyes, which she didn't know she closed, and saw Bossun's grinning face.
Himeko pouts at this and gained her posture, sitting and balancing again on the swing, stopping the urge to hit the guy in front of her. She smiles in a bitter-sweet way, which Bossun knew all too well. He steps back, the grin never faltering even though with the hard glare from the blonde.
He chuckles.
"There's no assignment by the way," He hears from the blond as the words escapes her lips, her dry lips. He coughs, getting red by the cheeks. He nods gratefully. Then, he realized the girl just changed the subject. He laughs again, which earned him a confused look from the girl, albeit a cute one. He grins.
"Changing the subject won't be easy, Hi-me-ko!"
Her face went red from the enthuastic statement of the boy and how he spoke each syllable of her name. She frowns, her face still a shade of red still. "I wasn't changing subjects, idiot." He nods, smiling sarcastically. She rolls her eyes, she knew the grin was from fun too, which he's getting from her right now.
Yeah, she didn't miss him.
Yeah.
That is such a lie.
Himeko couldn't believe this. Here she is, swinging with her...her eyes narrowed to the boy, who was still laughing until this day. Her violet eyes scanned every bit, his face, his jacket, his shoes, his legs, his arms, his eyes and there were still so many that she didn't want to say now because she felt like a pervert. The fire on her cheeks still hasn't vanished unto this moment.
"Whatever~!"
Oh, how she hated that tone at how she loved it.
She bites her lower lip, chewing in such a rough way that she tasted blood. She blinks. Bossun stops swinging, noticing something as he closed in on her. He stares at her lips for a while then his mouth opened, "Blood on your lips." Himeko nods, licking the part as she tastes her own blood. It tasted iron-like. Himeko kept on sucking, ignoring the taste. She stopped after a while.
Bossun looks at her, worried. "Are you alright now?" Himeko smiles reassuringly at him. "Never been better, Bossun." The boy nods and soon enough, grinning just like he had moments ago.
She hated those kinds of smiles.
His smiles were very confusing still. She hated the fact that he grins every time. And every time he does, she likes it like it's directed to her. No, scratch that, she loves it when he does and she knew it's directed to her. He stiffens as he hears a bitter-sweet laugh coming from the girl as he swung.
He looks back, a frown on his lips can be visible again. "What's wrong?" He asks, but the only response he got was a shook of head to the side and a smile that didn't assure him him one bit. He only nods, worried sick for the girl.
"Wait, how did you get sick again?" Himeko suddenly blurted out.
Bossun tilts his head. Was this a plan to change the subject again? Although they already did because of the wound on her lower lip, that doesn't mean, he'll forget. He plays along.
"I don't know. Maybe I was out for too long," his brown eyes narrowed to her figure as a confused look fell on her face. He smiles at this, it is certainly cute when she does that. Himeko blushes, noticing the smile. She looks down but asks in a stuttering manner, "W-Well, how..um, what time did you arrive in your house?"
Bossun shrugs. To be completely honest, he didn't know and neither did he care about what time he came home. Like he cared, right?
Himeko could guess he has something in his mind. Guessing it, she speaks, "You don't know what time, do you?" Bossun glanced at her,giving her a look that asks how did she know. She gives him an easy smile. "Well, you don't care about the time!" She exclaims, laughing a little bit.
The laugh echoed through the place and he smiles. "Yeah, I don't." The eyebrows that was once up knitted together. Then, before she could talk or speak, Bossun raced her first there as he spoke, "Unless it's very important."
Her lips formed a smile, memories buzzing in her mind like a flash. It was something. But it was definitely not nothing. She scrunches her nose, snorting as she remembered something in her mind. He stares at her, letting his mind wander.
He didn't know why and he particularly knew how. He just didn't know why this girl, in front of him, staring back at him, can kill him at such age. Then again, only she could do to him was make his heart beat faster than usual and produce butterflies in his stomach.
Red covered her face as she coughed, noticing the distant yet focused stare on her with that brown eyes of the boy staring at her. She couldn't help it, she actually stared back.
"So, um, should we go now?" She asked, which seemed to bring back the boy to reality. He looks at her, confused. Himeko wondered if he could listen to her while he's concentrating with his goggles. Then, she noticed he didn't have any goggles, only his Poppman hat. That made her smile, even now, he still kept it like a treasure.
"Well, I am starving.."
Her lips twitched as she bit back a laugh. The boy could always get hungry. Why is that? She rubbed her jacket pockets, looking for necessary sweets that could pull him right off the edge.
Brown eyes narrowed on her, a frown formed on the owner's lips.
Her hand went to her jacket pocket, showing a lollipop. The smile on her lips got bigger as she saw the disgusted look on Bossun's face.
"Want a Pelocan?"
Bossun had to say no.
Because that will kill him, or either, the girl in front of him will.
