Flashback
As he walked past Misaki's change room he noticed a member of CRASH knocking on Misaki's door. Takumi's eyes narrowed as he watched the man straighten his vest and fiddle with the roses in his hands.
What on earth was he up to?
End Flashback
Misaki had just finished blow-drying her hair when she heard a soft knock on her door. She placed her hair dryer on the side and walked to the door. She knew it wouldn't be Takumi, he had his concert now and he wouldn't have time to visit her.
At least he was there when she sang the first song. His smouldering eyes and his small smile had almost caused her to buckle her knees on stage. She was nervous as hell but so glad that she had finally (sort of) confessed her feelings. Though if Takumi didn't get that he was a bigger idiot than she gave him credit for.
Misaki pulled open the door to see a member of CRASH holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms. The member was the one she had banged into a while back when she was getting groceries. "Hello." Misaki said cautiously.
The man smiled. "Hello princess. I am Aoyagi Yugo and I just wanted to give you these flowers to congratulate you on your excellent performance."
Misaki nodded her head "Thank you for your consideration". The man handed the flowers over to her and as she took them in one arm he took her right hand in his and kissed the back of it.
"It has been my pleasure" he responded. Misaki stiffened a bit but then she noticed a tall figure behind Aoyagi.
"Excuse me" came Takumi's voice though his face was hidden behind shades and his hair was covered by a snapback.
Aoyagi turned to look at the figure while dropping Misaki's hand in the process. He raised an elegant eyebrow and asked "Yes? How may we help you?" Misaki noticed Takumi's slightly tense posture.
"I am Misa-chan's assistant manager so I need to speak to her for a bit. Do you mind giving us some time to discuss?"
Aoyagi looked to Misaki with surprise on his face. Misaki nodded her head slightly to confirm what Takumi had said. Aoyagi turned back around and nodded his head. "My apologies. I just wanted to congratulate Miss Ayuzawa on her stunning performance" he turned to look at Misaki "I hope to see you soon" he said before turning and walking calmly away.
Misaki looked up to see Takumi towering over her. "May I come in?" he asked softly. Misaki with her heart beat quickening stepped back to let him in. She closed the door behind him and she turned to see Takumi sitting on the little sofa with his eyes trained on her. He had removed his glasses now so she could see his intense gaze watching her. She tried (but failed) to control the blush that was starting to spread over her face. Before walking to Takumi she placed the flowers on her dresser and then turned to look at him.
"So… what do you need?" Misaki asked as calmly as she could. Takumi smirked slightly at her shaking voice.
He sighed and shook his head before standing up and coming closer to her. "I wanted to talk to you Misa-chan. Is that so bad?" he asked playfully but with an edge of… something in his voice. Misaki gulped as he stepped closer to her and she leaned back against the dresser.
"N… I mean yes. You have a concert now; you can talk to me after right?" Takumi smirked at her sense of responsibility even towards his work.
"It's ok, Tora has told the others I'll be a little late." He took another step closer to Misaki until there was barely a foot's distance between them.
"So… uhm… what do you want to talk to me about?" By this time Misaki had turned her face away not wanting to meet Takumi's emerald eyes and their fiery gaze. True she had just confessed (ish) but she didn't think she'd have to deal with it quite so soon.
"I really liked your concert, especially that first song…" he gently lifted Misaki's face with his right hand to face his. "I was wondering if it had any special meaning behind it?" he asked with a serious expression on his face.
He could see Misaki's eyes wide as she stared helplessly into his. Despite his intense gaze he was falling into her beautiful ember eyes as well. "Uhm…" she started but then stopped.
"Go on" Takumi urged softly his left hand now on her lower back pulling her closer to him. He pulled her till she was right up against his chest and her palms were flat against him.
Misaki breathed in through her nose before continuing, there really was no point in trying to run away, it would only hurt the both of them. "I… uhm… well the song was written for… someone."
Takumi's lips curled up a little "And who might that someone be Misaki?" Despite his calm manner he was still jealous of her interactions with the guy from CRASH, and getting the answer from her was what he needed to assure himself of his position in her life.
"You" she whispered quietly. Takumi's heart swelled with happiness. He could feel his blood coursing quickly through his veins as the feelings spread through him. He scanned Misaki's eyes before leaning in and capturing her lips.
Misaki didn't even start this time and she willingly responded to his kiss. The kiss was soft and gentle but it conveyed the feelings that Misaki couldn't put into words. Despite her first impression and misgivings of Takumi she had come to fall helplessly for him. And the strange thing was that she knew he had too.
The two of them pulled back and Takumi leaned his forehead against Misaki's and stared happily into her eyes. "I really like you too Misaki" he whispered.
Misaki's face resumed its previous state of bright red and Takumi chuckled at it. Takumi pulled back a little and asked "So… will you be my girlfriend?"
Misaki looked up and gave him a brilliant smile "Of course baka-Takumi. I thought that was obvious?"
Takumi grinned back at her and he pulled her into a hug. Now that she was in his arms he didn't want to let go.
"Hey Takumi…" Misaki said a little while later with her head still resting against his chest.
"What?"
"Your phone's vibrating."
"Damn it Tora…" was all Takumi said before pulling back completely and pulling out his phone. He read the message and if it weren't for Misaki he would have run up to Tora and punched his stupid smirking face off.
"Oh!" Misaki exclaimed "Your concert! Go!" Takumi looked up with a slightly pouting expression on his face. Misaki smiled "Don't worry I'll be there too."
Takumi smiled and kissed Misaki on the forehead. "See you soon Misa-chan."
Misaki blushed slightly but she waved at him as he began to walk away from her door. She was about to close the door when she heard Takumi's voice "By the way, you owe me for flirting with another guy after confessing to me. I'm expecting a kiss Misa-chan!"
Misaki's response (of course) was to blush and yell out "BAKA!" And Takumi's response was to chuckle happily as he walked towards his concert.
So here it is. Hope you guys liked it. Once again I'm sorry its so late. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.
Peace out
