Chapter 8: Tokito Akanuma
We stayed silent for a while. The policeman went ahead and changed into his house clothes. The policeman...the policeman...
"What's your name?" I suddenly asked him. He stared at me as he emerged from behind the changing screen. "I was about to ask you the same thing," he said. "You aren't looking into my mind again, are you?" He then smiled, a smile that wasn't exactly gentle. It made me blush again.
"No," I said, hesitating to answer the main question.
The policeman took a seat right in front of me. He was now very relaxed and calm. He looked at me and leaned on his hand with his elbow on his knee. He was waiting for me to answer.
"Tokito Akanuma."
He smiled. "Saito Hajime," he said.
At that moment, I felt drawn to him, to Saito. I suddenly looked at him in the eye. He didn't seem bothered by that. I leaned on my knees and moved toward him. He didn't seem to be alarmed, but he was wondering what was happening. If he were the one whom I believed him to be, he would know...
In a flash, I felt him take my hands, pull me close and press his lips on mine. In a flash, a wave of unique feeling came over me. It was he. This was right. I had found him.
I slowly broke away. I looked at him and he looked back at me. Something changed in his expression. It seemed so new to see him like that. His stern face didn't change, but his eyes showed something, like they were shining. They shined with affection...for me...
I reached to touch his face. This was my man, the man I would be with, and the man I will belong to. I slid my hand to the back of his head to pull him to me. At the same time, he pushed me and lay me down on the floor. Together, we sealed a commitment that needed to physical proof of its existence.
