Chapter 10: Pass Midnight Together
They just stayed like that for several seconds, neither dared to move, probably both lost in each other's eyes…
But a few moments later, he moved in closer and closer and closer and just when their lips were about to touch…
"Tsu-Tsubasa, what do you thi-think you're doing?" a blushing Misaki said, ruining the moment.
He stopped and just stared at her.
'shit! What was I thinking back there?' he thought; turning a bit red and feeling embarrassed. He briefly looked away from Misaki before getting off her, and as soon as he did, she took the liberty on standing up.
"what brings you here?" she then asked the shadow manipulator, whose back was facing her.
"I've come to return this…" he then said, untying the blazer from his waist and handing it to the doppelganger…without even facing her.
"thank you…I've been wondering where I've placed that…" she replied, taking the blazer from his hand.
"Is that all? You came here just to give me that?" she then asked, concern was evident in her voice; she had the feeling that there was more to this.
"Well…" somehow, he just couldn't find the right things to say.
"Alright. It's up to you Andou, I hope your conscience can take it when you see her mourning for you at your funeral."
However, with the Persona's words echoing in his head, he turned around to face her and was about to tell the doppelganger what he wanted to say, but then, she beat him right to it…
"Before anything else, I'm sorry about what happened earlier…"
"…it's not I didn't want to see you because I hated you or something...it's just that…" Misaki softly said; her bangs were covering her eyes. For a second there, Tsubasa thought that she'll breakdown and cry because she sounded that she would at any second…
…but then, the shadow manipulator can be wrong at times, right?…
…the next thing he knew, he was lying flat-faced on the floor…
Misaki punched him…and punched him hard that he was sent to the far side of her room…
It's a good thing it was pass midnight and almost everyone were in deep slumber, or else the two would be in big trouble.
"hey! What did you do that for?!" Tsubasa said with anger, he then stood up and turned around; however, his anger magically disappeared when he finally faced her.
"Misaki…" he said as he approached her.
…but maybe he's right this time…
"…" no reply.
"Hey Misaki, please don't cry …" he said, as he stepped closer to her.
"I hate you! You make me weak!" she retorted as tears ran down her cheeks.
This is one of those once-in-a-blue-moon moments wherein he can see Misaki show her vulnerable side. He knows, oh he really knows, that underneath her up-beat and strong personality, there's always some kind of weakness; but what he didn't know, he is her weakness…and what she didn't know she is his weakness.
"Misaki…" he said yet again and takes another step closer to her.
"Do you know I got freakin worried about you, you baka?!" she said; tears falling non-stop. She couldn't help it; she did really worry about him after all. There were many nights wherein she can't stop worrying about him that she couldn't sleep, also, the burden of putting on a don't-worry-about-Tsubasa mask for Mikan was almost unbearable; the tears she's crying out right now…are the tears that she held for so long.
"I'm sorry…" he said to her as he pulled her in his arms; she tried to struggle but he was too strong for her…in the end, she hugged him back too.
"I'm really sorry for making you worry…but, I've come back Misaki…" he whispered in her ear. At this point in time, Misaki's crying subsided; she finally realized that what really matters that he's here with her…right here, right now.
And again, neither budged, probably too enticed with each other's touch….but later on, one of them had the courage to move, let alone, the courage to confess…
"…I love you…" Tsubasa simply stated; he then held her cheeks and neared her face to him…closer and closer and closer…
'SLAP!'
She slapped him on the cheek…and he backed off a little.
"Why?" he managed to ask a, to his dismay, frowning Misaki. At this point, there was only one word that came into Tsubasa's mind: rejection.
"That was for making me worry!" she said; anger and pain evident in her voice.
"But I-" he started to say, but cut-off when Misaki pulled him by the shirt; their lips were a mere inch away from each other.
"this is for coming back…" she said as she pulled him nearer.
"this is also for what I feel…" she finally said, before closing the gap between them.
The kiss was so passionate that the next thing they knew, he was pinning her to the wall. They finally expressed what they feel for each other in that kiss; all those times they held back and never confessed, fear of rejection…or worst, fear of losing the friendship they had…but now, nothing's gonna stop them from this kiss…well, maybe air…
Both stopped to catch their breath.
"uhm, can you stay for the night?" Misaki, the first one who got her breathing back to normal, then asked.
"if it's alright with you…I can stay on the couch-" Tsubasa replied, but then he got cut-off.
"you can stay with me…on the bed…" she said, blushing a little. She then made her way to the bed and motioned him to follow her.
"o-o-ok…"a blushing (too) Tsubasa stammered.
'I am a gentleman…I will not do anything to her' he said to himself as he sat on the bed and removed his shoes, and as soon as he did, he snuggled closer to Misaki, who, snuggled closer to him too.
'I am a gentleman…I will not do anything to her' he said again to himself, when he felt their bodies touch.
"good night Tsubasa…" she softly said and then slowly closed her eyes.
"good night" he replied, kissing her forehead. He then slowly closed his eyes too.
'I am a gentleman…I will not do anything to her' again, he thought of that…but as he did, he felt that he was perspiring and feeling all hot…thankfully, it's not because of the hormones…or is it?
"Misaki…." he started.
"Hm?" she replied, but her eyes were closed.
"Do you mind if I take my shirt off?"
