You drive me crazy

Day 7 1/8 - I can't get enough of you.
When I rubbed my eyes as I tried to get up tiredly from the bed, I found Seishirou in front of me with a towel over his head. He was wiping his hair with _my_ towel in his two hands. His right profile stared back at me as his shirtless self showed how toned he was. And his gray sweats were...really cute.
He looked frumpy? It was a sight that was adorable in its own way.
I kneeled on the bed over the hump of a blanket and placed my gloved hands in front of me. I looked at myself and discovered that I had been dressed in Seishirou's familiar white-long sleeved shirt with only one button holding it all together.
I pulled on the shirt...and immediately pushed it back.
That... * ahem * seemed to be it.
[* blushes * * smirks * "Ah, I love to put these descriptions..."]
I blinked at him and tilted my head innocently.
He then turned his whole body towards me and smiled at me. "Don't do that."
"Do what?" I blinked even more in surprise. "Did I do something wrong?"
He then walked slowly towards me as he placed the towel over his shoulders. "You're seducing me without even trying."
"What?!" I gasped. "What did I do?!"
"Subaru-kun?" He sat by me on the bed. "If there's one thing I've always liked about you, it's that innocent look of yours."
"It just makes me want to corrupt it..." he softly said.
His teeth found themselves on my ear. "I can't stand it..."
"D-demo, Sei-shirou-san!"
Too late...
He took that single button into his mouth and flicked it open.
I opened my eyes in shock and wonder. Could people really do that?!
[* blink, blink * "He's _really_ multitalented isn't he? Eh heh heh..."]
And so yet again, I was kept on the bed for an hour. * sweatdrop *
When I finally got up from the bed still dressed with his shirt, I turned around and pointed my index finger at him. "You!"
I didn't know whether to be annoyed or shocked at his...energy...to put it simply.
"I can't get enough of you?" he smirked as he sat on the bed satisfied with everything as he grabbed my waist and placed his head on my stomach.
"I really can't..." he whispered as he kissed my stomach through the thin shirt. I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his head.
Day 7 ΒΌ - Emerald Crystal
When we finally left the apartment, it was very sunny outside.
"If I don't get Hokuto's favorite snack, she'll kill me." I shook my head. "Maybe I shouldn't after all she's done."
Seishirou just patted my hair softly. Then he said, "It sure is hot today."
I had regretted not wearing my hat as I used my hand to block the sun's rays from my face. Seishirou didn't seem to mind. He had his sunglasses on, but then he took them off and gave them to me.
"Here," he said as he pushed it into my hands.
"I'm fine." I nodded my head with a wave. "Don't worry about it."
He then put it on my face. "I wasn't asking you."
I sighed.
"So, where exactly are we going today-Oh!" he gasped as he held onto the shoulders of the little boy who had run into him.
"I'm sorry," the mother of the boy quickly apologized while running towards us.
Her long ponytail trailed behind her as she calmly kept her focus on her son.
There was something about her eyes that were so beautiful and mysterious...
It somehow felt familiar...
Or rather, would be familiar...
She then put her hand on his shoulder to urge him to go to Seishirou.
I shook my head as I watched the boy bow his apologies towards Seishirou. "I'm very sorry, Ni-chan."
The boy's red eyes glanced at me as I knelt to the ground.
"Subaru..." a voice said to me as I touched his head to pat him.
Subaru...no...
What is this voice in my head?
The woman explained, "My son was trying to race with me and didn't watch where he was going."
"It's okay," Seishirou answered with his hand up.
I couldn't help but touch the boy who looked no more than 6 or 7. He smiled at me with pure-unadulterated happiness.
I wanted to keep that smile...
The woman then really looked at us as she blinked her eyes in hesitation. She then said uncertainly, "Have we met before?"
Have we?
I blinked my eyes as things seemed to pass in an eternity. I slowly shook my head as Seishirou gave her a smile that assured her while saying, "No, I don't believe so."
Doki doki doki...
My heart was cringing again as I blinked at Seishirou.
"What's your name?" I asked as I smiled down at the boy.
He shyly answered while holding his hands in back of him. He was so embarrassed, he started to blush while answering, "Shirou Kamui."
My heart cringed at that moment as I tried to keep my polite smile up.
Maybe there's something wrong with me...
It was then that he tugged on my jacket and Seishirou began to laugh while trying to get closer to me.
As if he were trying to show his possessiveness...
"Yes, Shirou-kun?" I asked as I blinked at him.
"Is this your important friend, Ni-chan?" He smiled. "I'm going to see my important friends right now too!"
I nodded my head with a smile. "Yes, he's my important friend."
Seishirou smiled in triumph and I thought it was rather childish of him to do so.
The boy smiled at me though I could see he was a little trouble by me saying this.
"He seems to like you," his mother laughed.
Almost as if she were crying...
Despite her strong aura...
"I like him too," I answered as I patted his head.
Seishirou continued being silent as I glanced at him in amazement. For the first time, I saw him being a bit fidgety. I guess this is the kind of connection you have with someone you love. You just know everything with a look?
Was he _actually_ jealous?
It kind of boggled me.
"He usually hides behind me whenever someone tries to talk to him," she said with her hands folded in front of her.
"I was like that once," I smiled. I kneeled to the boy as I replied, "You'll grow out of it, Shirou-kun."
His heart...
Is like glass...
I can almost see it. Even though I can only feel it with my gloves...
There is something wrong.
That child is endanger-
"Well, we'd better go," the mother smiled as she took a hold of Shirou-kun's hand. We then bowed to one another. "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
I shook my head with a smile. "It was no problem at all."
At that moment, on an impulse, I blurted out, "Matte kudasai!"
The boy turned around to face me as I took something out of my pocket. "Here, have this Shirou-kun."
"For me?" he asked as he glanced at me and whatever I had in my hand.
Seishirou looked at me curiously.
I knelt down while nodding my head. Then, I took his hands and placed the emerald crystal gently onto his hands. "This was a good luck charm my sister had given to me. She said that it was as green as my eyes."
He blinked at me. "Are you sure?"
I kept on nodding my head as I smiled at him. "Just promise to take good care of it."
We pinky swore as I we both laughed. "Yakusoku desu yo!"
His mother bowed with much gratitude towards me. "Thank you very much."
Then, she came over to squeeze my hand as she said, "I will thank you for everything now."
"Excuse me?" I answered with a lost expression. "What did you-"
The little boy then hugged me and I laughed. "Thank you, Ni-chan!"
At that, I was unable to get my question answered.
It was as if I felt that Fate herself had intervened and wanted it that way. For everytime I tried to even think of warning that mother, something happened. And so, I just became silent all together.
As we watched them walk away, I thought about Hokuto when she gave me that key chain...
"Subaru! You better not lose this! It was very expensive." She shoved it into my hands and closed my gloves upon the green, star-shaped crystal. Then, she kissed my hands saying seriously, "For hope, Subaru. This is for my hope."
"Why are you so serious all of a sudden, Hokuto-chan?" I smiled a wide grin as I looked at her with bright eyes. "We'll always be together."
She nodded her head silently while trying to smile at me the best that she could.
"Subaru-kun?" Seishirou's hand took a hold of my shoulder from behind.
"Huh?"
We started to walk again to the store as he asked me, "What was that?"
"Something Hokuto-chan gave me..." I then looked at him with wistful expression. "Funny, it was the same day I had met you. I tripped and fell out of my pocket, so I tried to save it from breaking."
Seishirou walked in silence.
Out of nowhere, he said, "That kid was too close to you. You were too nice to a kid that almost hurt me by running into me."
I opened my mouth widely in shock. "Were you really jealous of that little boy?!"
"No." His eyes glanced at me sideways as small patches of red appeared with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Don't worry about that." I laughed as I smiled while looking at him with caring eyes. "You belong to me."
"Hey!" he protested. "Isn't it the other way around?"
I shook my head playfully.
At that moment, Seishirou laughed as he nodded his head while taking a hold of the door before him. It was then he honestly admitted while we entered the bakery, "Okay...so maybe I was a little jealous..."
I smiled to myself.
To be continued.
