Two hearts, one love.
Chapter 10: Unfamiliar surroundings.
Akina/Crystal's POV
Rolling over in the bed, I suddenly found myself falling onto the floor with a thump. Scowling, I opened one eye as I struggled to get back onto the bed. My mind unconsciously registered the fact that the bed sheets were black instead of baby pink. Wait a moment, I thought as I snuggled back underneath the covers. Black sheets? My eyes, both of them this time, flew open. Sitting up straight, I rubbed my eyes and took in my surroundings. A desk with a computer, scanner and printer faced me. Huh? I thought in confusion. I rubbed my eyes once again. I didn't have a desk in my room. I looked at the bed in which I had been sleeping in. That's weird. Where'd all my stuffed toys go? And how come the walls were dark blue instead of baby blue?
What was up with the unfamiliar surroundings? Then it hit me. This was not my room. This was Kai's room. I mentally hit myself for being so slow. But what was I doing sleeping in Kai's bedroom? As that thought entered my mind, the memories of last night came rushing back. The formal function, the shock on Kai's face when he realized that I was Mr. Hiragazaki's daughter, sitting by the pool with Kai at his house. The images came rapidly but I still could not recall exactly how I ended up in Kai's bed. Frowning I looked at Kai's bedside table and the clock sitting upon it told me that it was 9.30am. Looking closer, I saw a slip of paper with my name on it and I picked it up.
Upon unfolding it, I found that it read:
Good morning Akina-san. I trust you had a good night's sleep. Your clothes are being dry-cleaned and you may have breakfast whenever you wish. Katrina P.S Kai's in the room to the right.
Huh? If Katrina had my clothes, then what was I wearing now? Lifting the covers up, I discovered all I had on was my underwear and a blue shirt. A rather large blue shirt at that. Shrugging, I decided to go back to sleep.
About an hour later, I woke up again and decided to go down for breakfast. As I stepped out of the room, I paused for a moment wondering whether I should go and see whether Kai was in the room to the right. Why not? I thought and pushed the door to his room open. I squinted through the darkness to see a lump in the middle of the bed. Grinning widely, I approached it quietly and poked it. The lump grunted in response and rolled over. Attempting to contain my giggles, I poked at it again. This time no response. Frowning I decided to take more drastic action.
"Kai-kun?" I whispered softly. He mumbled something incoherent underneath his breath. I yanked at the covers slightly and he pulled them back towards him. Sighing I sat at the edge of the bed and prodded him.
"What?" he finally muttered.
"Are you awake yet?" I asked.
"I am now thanks to you" he grumbled and sat up. His two-toned blue hair was ruffled up and he ran his hand through it unconcernedly.
"So uhh, how exactly did I end up asleep in your bedroom?" I questioned.
"What? You don't remember?" Kai replied in disbelief.
"Well, not exactly" I confessed.
"What do you remember?" he asked.
"I remember the function and that we were by the pool for a while" I answered.
"You really are hopeless you know that?" he said sighing. "Okay, well we were going to go inside when you kinda fell asleep on me. So I picked you up and mum told me to take you up to my room. Then when your father was about to leave, my father suggested that you stay here tonight. And your father agreed" Kai explained.
"Oh, okay then" I replied and absentmindedly wrapped my arms around myself.
"Cold again?" Kai asked raising an eyebrow.
"Of course not" I said indignantly. He stared at me. "Well maybe just a little" I finally admitted. I shifted over so that I was now next to Kai, then I dove under the covers.
"What are you doing?" Kai said scowling.
"I'm cold. You are warm. Your bed is warm. You do the math" I said rolling my eyes at him.
"You can't come in" he protested. "I'm sleeping here"
"No. You were sleeping here. You are now awake" I corrected and snuggled closer to him.
"You are such a brat you know" he grumbled.
"You said that last time too." I reminded him. "And don't forget, even if I am a brat, I'm a damn cute one at that"
Kai's POV
Huh? I thought vaguely, wasn't I awake a few minutes ago? Something stirred beside me and I looked down. Akina. What was she doing sleeping in my room? Wait a moment; this wasn't my room but the guestroom. Oh yeah, she came in and woke me up then she was cold so she snuggled up against me. I scowled as that thought. Stupid brat. I suppose I dosed off after a while.
I then remember that all I had on was my black boxers and all she had on was her underwear and my shirt. I weighed up the possibilities. If I moved she would surely wake up, but then if I didn't who knew how long I could be stuck here for. Knowing Akina, she could probably sleep through an earthquake. I was about to get up slowly when I realized something.
My arms were wrapped around Akina's waist, keeping her close to me. I froze. Oh shit, how did that happen? But before I could contemplate that thought, Akina shifted impossibly closer and leaned her head against my chest. What the hell? Time to put a stop to all of this madness. There was no way in hell I was going to have her wake up with my arms wrapped around her waist.
"Kai-kun?" she murmured sleepily.
Uh-oh. Too late for that.
"Akina, would you mind moving away?" I stated stiffly.
"Huh?" she said, obviously confused.
"You know what? Forget it." I said and quickly got out of the bed before she would awaken fully and realize how close we were.
"Kai-kun?" she asked, sitting up in the bed.
"Yeah?" I replied gruffly and turned to face her.
"Can we have breakfast? I'm hungry" she said.
"Sure" I said relaxing. For a moment I thought she was about to ask me why we had slept so closely.
"Well, what do you want?" I asked Akina after we went downstairs to the dinning room.
"Can I have waffles with ice-cream?" she answered hopefully.
"Ice-cream? This early in the morning?" I replied in disbelief.
"Sure, why not? Anyway, it's nearly twelve. We'll be having lunch soon enough" she pointed out.
"Fine" I agreed. "What flavor ice-cream did you want?"
