When we got back to the headquarters, Soryu had lifted me up in 'bridal style' from the car and carried me into the livingroom. Ha hadn't said anything on the drive home and to be honest, I was starting to get a little nervous. When we got to the livingroom, Soryu just stood there, with me still in his arms, and just stared into space.
"Um, Soryu?" My voice seemed to have startled him back to reality, because he suddenly looked at me with the most confused look I had ever seen.
"Hm?"
"Are you alright? You're acting strange…" I used one of my hands and cupped his face. He blushed and put me down.
"I'm just a little overwhelmed… and a little confused, to be honest…" He scratched the back of his neck and sat down on the sofa. I sat down next to him.
"Confused? About what?"
"I thought you wanted to go back to Eisuke."
"What? What made you think that?"
"The way you looked at him… You looked at him with love in your eyes…"
"I looked at him with pity in my eyes… I felt sorry for him. He broke my heart, Soryu. Did you seriously think that I would want to go back to him?" When I said this, Soryu let out a sigh. "And by the way, Soryu. I know."
"You know? Know what?" he questioned.
"I now know why you suddenly acted so cold towards me… You thought I wanted to go back to Eisuke so you tried to make it easier for me to choose him by acting as if you didn't like me. Am I right?"
"Damn you're sharp…" he whispered.
"Sharper than you think." I said with a smug grin on my face.
"So you don't want to be with Eisuke?"
"No. I want to be with you…"
"Just like we used to? You know, before you got kidnapped."
"No. Not like we used to… I want to be with you. As your girlfriend…" I blushed and looked down. I didn't think confessing your feelings to the person you loved was this embarrassing.
Hearing my confession, Soryu grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap. I let out a big gasp.
"Soryu?!"
"What? I thought you wanted to be my girlfriend. Isn't this what couples do?"
"Well yes, but-"
"-Then what's the problem?" He smiled at me and I just couldn't resist. I moved my legs a little so that I was straddling him. I then cupped his face and pulled it closer to mine. Our lips were mere inches away. He smirked.
"So… is this where we kiss, or?" he asked, obviously trying to tease me.
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me." He laughed before pressing his lips against mine. What started as small, normal kisses soon evolved into a passionate make-out session. Soryu hands were firmly placed on my cheeks while my hands were entangled in his hair. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before we were interrupted by the other Ice Dragons.
"Boss! We're back!" An exited Inui yelled as he entered the livingroom.
"Inui!" Soryu yelled while I hurriedly tried to climb of him.
"Oh, miss _! I-I didn't know you and boss were… Um…" Inui was red as a tomato as he frantically tried to come up with an excuse. Oh no, poor Inui. We must have scared him for life…
"Inui, calm down. We weren't-" I tried to clear up the situation but Soryu interrupted me.
"-Inui, why did you have to ruin the mood?" Soryu angrily let out a sigh as he stood up.
"I-I'm so sorry, boss!" He bowed and practically ran out of the room. I stood up and gave Soryu a little, but powerful, punch in the side.
"Ouch, what did you do that for?!"
"You totally gave Inui the wrong idea!"
"So?"
"So?! Inui is so innocent! The poor guy must be petrified... We have to clear things up!" I felt really bad for poor Inui so I felt like I had to clear things up. Without even waiting for Soryu's answer, I stormed out of the room in my search for Inui.
Soryu smirked. "You're so cute, _. It's not fair…" He laughed and quietly followed me. "They'll just have to get used to it because that won't be the last time I'll do that to you…" he whispered so low that no one could hear, because this was his little secret...
