Chapter 10: The Letter
Seiya was not going to give up despite everything. Yaten went out of his way to make sure that he and Haruka were not alone so it was almost a week until he got a chance to talk to her alone.
While Yaten was watching TV, Seiya quietly sneaked up to Haruka's room, knocking on the door softly.
She answered the door then moved to let him in.
"Seiya- what is it?" she asked.
"I just wanted to talk to you without Yaten and/or Taiki hovering around," he said, taking her hand. She looked down but didn't say anything.
"Look, Haruka, I know you loved Michiru and were really hurt when you two broke up. I just wanted to let you know that I like you. I don't expect you to feel the same way- I just wanted to tell you that," he said, looking into her eyes.
"Seiya..." Haruka stammered, for once at a loss for words.
"Since you moved in, I gotten to know you much better. Even if you don't feel the same way, I'm just happy to be with you," he went on. She just stared at him now, completely taken aback by his words. He leaned over and kissed her softly.
Downstairs Taiki went through various letters and junk mail, frowning when he noticed a letter with just their three names written on it. He knew Princess Kakyu's handwriting anywhere. He opened the letter, his heart sinking. He sighed as he tucked the letter away; he should have known this was coming.
