Chapter 3: Insight
A few boxes of tissues and several ice packs later, the bleeding finally stopped and the swelling in Seiya's nose had started to go down.
"You poor thing- not even five minutes here and she hits you," Yaten snickered as he handed Seiya more ice.
"Shut up, Yaten," Seiya muttered, glaring at him.
"Well, I'm curious to what you could have done to get such a reaction from her," Yaten commented.
"It's a long story," Seiya said, avoiding the question.
"I have nothing to do so go ahead," Yaten said, noticing this.
"Ugh, I can't believe I'm telling you this," Seiya groaned. "The last night we were here, at the party, I tried to settle things between us," he said.
"Uh huh. So what did you say that caused her to punch you a year later?" Taiki asked as he came in. Seiya looked uncomfortable under their gazes, turning slightly red.
"Er, it wasn't what I said, exactly. I kissed her," he said, looking at his hands. Taiki dropped his book in surprise and both of them stared at Seiya.
"You...kissed her," Yaten said slowly.
"Well, that explains why she hit you," Taiki commented.
"Thank you for that insight," Seiya grumbled. Apparently she didn't feel the same way about him as he did about her, he thought to himself. He had spent the last year thinking about her and had returned to find that she hated him. Perhaps it had been a mistake to kiss her that night, a mistake in loving her.
For the past year Haruka had not been able to get Seiya or the memory of that kiss out of her mind. Hitting him had let out some of her frustration at him but her mind was still in turmoil. But she would put him out of her mind, she wouldn't let him have this effect on her, she told herself firmly. However, a part if her knew that she would fail at it.
