"Why would you?" It was a split second when light entered the room but his face registered in my mind easily.
"I did say sorry didn't I?"
"Oh yeah, you did." I said with a hint of sarcasm and annoyance in my voice. "No, that doesn't cover it all, Yuto. Why would you tell me that I made you do that?" I nervously asked but I tried to maintain the serious and pissed off tone to hide the embarrassment.
Silence.
I sighed, "But first, give me back my lights."
"…Oh, yeah, sure." He clicked his computer terminal on and let it become his flashlight as he walked to the kitchen. I walked to the switch and when I heard him say, "You can turn them on now." I did.
We sat on my bed and I broke the silence between us by asking the same question, "Again, why would you?"
"Why are you insisting on knowing the reason as if you're not embarrassed with me doing that to you?" he smirked as he looked at me making me blow my cover as blush spread across my face.
"I… I..." I lied down on the bed with my arm covering the upper part of my face, this is annoying!
"Oh, come oooon! Try putting yourself in my shoes. Mou!" I said while rolling on the bed in annoyance. Why wouldn't he just tell me without making me feel ashamed as I am now? I mean, he should be the one to feel this, right? He's the one who's done questionable things.
He let out a chuckle as he stood up and pulled both of my arms to get me back to my sitting position.
He sat beside me again as he turned his head to me. He scratched his cheek but his eyes were not looking at mine. "D-don't think I'm weird for saying this, okay?"
"Huh? What you did already made me think of that, dummy." I pouted as I looked away from him.
"Eh? Sorry then, Yuina. Truth is…" he then scooted closer and whispered to my ear…
"HAAAA!? Of all people you would react to like that, Yuto. Why would you think about something like that with me and someone who's head over heels with his own cousin?" His reason and what he's done doesn't seem like it's connecting. Or am I missing something?
"H-hey! I did tell you the truth already! Wh-why are you asking more questions!?" He crossed his arms and turned his back to me.
"Eh? But it seems disconnected! What would your r-reason relate to what y-y-you just did?" I think I'm starting to get a hunch on connecting those two but I can't seem to get a grasp on it.
"You're such an idiot, Yuina. That's why you lost to me." He turned around to face me again only to show me that he's smirking. Oh, what!? Is he teasing me for the way I lost to him in midterms?
"That, too! Why would you do that!? Did you know we got into the newspaper again because of what you di—"
And again, those pair of lips touched mine again.
But this time, I didn't struggle nor tried to get away. But I also didn't close my eyes, I only stared at his hazel orbs which also studied mine that were shocked compared to his that were impassive.
Half a minute later, we parted from each other. I was about to ask things again but he talked first.
"Going to ask more?" I don't know if I'm just imagining it, but I'm sure I'm not, for it's quite shocking to see his face this pinkish and stuff.
I shook my head, unable to reply or even utter a word. That…. K-kiss, made me speechless.
This Yuto, ugh, what's with him?
Then it hit me; the midterm battle, what he did, his reason.
"Hey, Yuto."
"Hm?"
"Could it be, you're…?"
"E-eh!? Oh, no you don't have to say it in front of me! N-no don't say it! N—"
"…You're jealous?" I grinned at the thought of him becoming like this because of what he just saw when I was in the Manga research society room, and maybe even that practice battle with Kai-senpai made him pull such trick on me on the midterm battle.
"Tsk, now you have to shove it on my face! Ugh!" He rustled his hair in annoyance but his face was blushing. He's cute to watch I felt a smile creep on my face.
"Oh, and Yuto?" He stopped making a mess on his hair but his hands were still on his head.
"You pervert!" I smirked as I pushed him on the bed and started tickling him but to no avail…
"What the… Don't tell me you're not—" then I was flipped over and he was on top of me, again, but this time, he's the one who did the tickling.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my g—HAHAHA! Stop it Yuto! HAHAHAHA! I might punch y— HAHAHAHAHA!" I tried to warn between laughs but he still won't stop. A minute he got exhausted too and lied down beside me.
"Oh that's right, did you have dinner already?" I sat up and asked him. He just shook his head and stared at me.
"Fine, I'll cook."
After eating, he decided to spend the night here in my room. It's not really prohibited, in fact; others were also having a sleepover in someone else's room
He lied down on the couch, and I stared at him, "What?"
"Y-you can sleep on my bed, y-you know?" His eyes widened as he stood up and smiled. He patted my head as thanks.
I watched him crawl over my bed as I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
I was almost halfway done with the dishes when I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist. Good thing I was only holding a spoon for I dropped it due to the shock.
"You're not mad about that, are you?" Yuto asked while burying his face on my shoulder.
I didn't hide the grin forming on my face as I patted his head, "No, I'm not"
It would be a really cute moment, I had to admit, if it weren't for him suddenly pulling out from the hug and exclaiming, "Hey! You still had bubbles on your hand you know!" He said while touching his hair.
I let out a small laugh "My bad." Then he went to the bathroom.
I turned to the wall as I thought we were facing back to back but when I rolled again, I saw that he was actually facing my direction.
"Wh-what? You're still awake?" I was about to turned around again when he said, "Well, you haven't told me your 'good night' yet you know?"
"H-huh? You haven't told me that yet, either!" I just hope the darkness of the night won't let him see my blushing face.
"W-well." He sighed "Good night, Yuina." I smiled to myself before whispering,
"Good night, my jealous cousin."
I know he was going to protest but he didn't. He only grabbed my hand and slowly filled the spaces between my fingers with his.
A good night indeed.
Ceiral's Rant: Weeeelp, that escalated quickly lol, author's still high. And hey, achievement! Two chapters in one day! Haha! Shallow happiness lol, as if I've never done that before orz.
Anyways, I hope I did write a good romance, err… fluff scene in here. Because I really want to~
Now, what should I write next? What do you think? No, don't get the wrong idea; this story's not finished yet.
