The Strong and The Weak
Chapter 11 : The Face of a Bratー
"Damn it." Yata scratched his head vigorously before putting his beanie back on his head,"He did this on purpose."
Haruna slowly walked behind Yata who looked as if he was trudging in a lake of goo.
"Am I already such a bother to you?" Haruna pretended to be hurt. She breathed out into the night air and watched the warm breath rise and dissipate like smoke.
"N-No! I didn't mean to offend you! I just-" His hands fell to his sides in defeat,"I-I'm sorry."
"What an adorable brat." She giggled to herself.
Yata who was walking ahead of her whipped around and yelled into the winter air,"What's with all this 'brat this' and 'brat that' shit! It's pissing me off!"
Haruna laughed even harder and pointed at him,"Why are you shouting into the sky? I'm right here!"
He ripped his beanie off his head and tightly gripped it in his hands,"W-Women piss me off so much!"
Yata turned away from her and continued to stomp ahead of her as she laughed at him the whole way to her apartment.
Once they reached Room 18, Yata whipped around again to face Haruna and growled,"Will you stop laughing woman! It's getting on my nerves!"
She slapped him on the shoulder and laughed in his face,"You really are a cute brat."
"What was that?!" He wrung the beanie in his hands and asked furiously.
"Oh no! He's angry!" She ran past him; quickly unlocking the door to her apartment before disappearing inside and slamming the door close. She heard him knock lightly, but the girl didn't bother unlocking it for him. He knocked again, but she didn't budge. She heard him grumble loudly and knock harder on the door. Haruna compared it to this morning and the thought got her laughing all over again.
She knew Yata-san heard her uncontrollable laughter when he started again,"You little... What are you? A fucking kid?!"
"You're one to talk Yata-san." She commented amusedly as she watched him through the little glass peephole at the top of her door,"Besides, why do you want me to open the door for you? You just had to walk me home right?"
Haruna watched his face burn up in embarrassment. Just like he had done at the bar, he placed his beanie back onto his head. The color of his cheeks now was comparable to his hair. A light red. She thought about it for a bit and realized that he blushed an awful lot.
She decided to play with him some more and gasped,"My goodness, Yata-san. I'm not some girl you can take advantage now just because it's streetwalking hour! Have some decency!"
Yata slammed his fist on the door obnoxiosly and stuttered loudly,"W-Woman! Hold your tongue! I-I'd never-"
He never got to finish when the man next door to her screamed,"SHUT THE HELL UP, BRAT. I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"
Haruna's laughter had ceased in that moment. Before Yata could counter, she finally unlocked her door and dragged him inside by the collar; covering his mouth with her hands. She heard the man open his door and step out with his house slippers. The eighteen year old felt the older of the two squirm and claw at her hands. Briskly, she brought herself with him towards the floor and waited silently. It hurt, but she knew it would be worth it. Haruna didn't like that guy next door and thought it was best to take Yata from the trouble of hating him too. He had just moved in a week ago, but she had her suspicions.
She just couldn't put her finger on it.
When she was sure that he had left and heard the door close, she gave a huge sigh of relief and looked down to check on Yata whose head was laying in her lap. She removed her hands and glided them over his cheeks to the locks of hair that poked out of his beanie.
"Yata?" She whispered as he pulled one of his hairs.
It was just silence at the dark entryway and she started to get nervous. Not because it was just the two of them, a boy and a girl alone an apartment, but because he wasn't giving any sort of reply to her. She slapped his cheek lightly and waited again, but there was still no response.
Freaking out, she dragged from under his arms. Before she entered the real area of her living shoestrings let him go for a minute to unzip her boots before kicking them off. One by one, she took off Yata's sneakers as well and threw them behind her aimlessly.
This would be embarrassing if he was conscious, but he's not so who the hell cares?
She lifted him by his knees and cradled him in her arms. Despite being her height, the young man was much heavier than she thought. She succeeded in carrying him to her room and throwing him onto her bed. Her chocolate eyes lit up with pride. She's never lifted so much weight in her life. Her eyes wandered back to Yata's limp body.
A male body was on her bed.
She clapped her hands in front of her and her knees collapsed onto the carpet floor of her bedroom.
"Dear Lord. Kami-sama." She wailed,"At the age of eighteen, I have a man in my bed. No, wait! He's on my bed! Technically, he's not in my bed because he's not under the comforter and in the sheets."
She closed her eyes and raised a finger in the air,"The point is; I didn't break my promise to you because he isn't in my bed! Okay? Haruna breathed out as she stood up and stared back at the body on her bed,"Okay! I'll just move him..."
As usual, she swung her hair over one shoulder and played around with their ends as she observed him. His expression was so peaceful compared to the way he usually looked when he's up and about. She was certain that this was a rare sight.
She mulled to herself a bit before mumbling to herself and rushing out of the room with cheeks ablaze,"I'll just sleep on the couch he mutilated."
The blushing girl came back inside her room briefly; poking her head out of the door stammering,"G-Good night, Yata-san...!"
