Life 26

Akeno's PoV

I have been searching everywhere but no sign of Masato. I even look at the place where we first met but he wasn't there.

Where are you Masato?

My chest tighten and thought of bad things. What if something happens to Masato?

It's almost mid night but I'm still running everywhere. There were times that I stumble and fall but I still keep on looking.

Just to find Masato..

It has started to rain and I didn't realize it real quick.

Is Masato mad at me for scolding him earlier? When I released lightning?

I stop running and rest on a bench Park near at a fountain. I had to take minutes of break to catch my breath.

I grew tired of looking for someone who wouldn't show up and went home while sobbing.

Living room

I still can't stop crying thinking about Masato.. I plan to confess my feelings today but it went bad because I have found another pendant.

I'm expecting Masato to be home and somehow cheer me up but then I realized he wasn't here.

Did I did something wrong?

Was it wrong to give my virginity to Masato? I knew it, I should have known him first before I gave him my innocence.

I was wrong, I shouldn't gave my trust to someone who I've just met on that day.

But..

When I look at Masato, his eyes are brimming with courage and kindness.

At first, I felt a wave of affection towards him. He is something that I can adore or tease. I thought if I gave him my first he'll do something adorable like change my life.

I was too easy to believe that he had accepted my fallen angel side..

But now, all of that thoughts are starting to fade one by one.

This is why I hate men. They have sweet words to ruin a woman's life. They like you because you have looks or something they want from you. But they don't like you being yourself. All they want is sex and after that, they're gonna left you all alone.

I know not all men are like that and I know too that Masato isn't like that even Ise-kun..

But...

I put both of my hands to my head while sitting on the sofa.

When suddenly someone knocked on the door. My heart starts to beat fast hitting my ribs.

I quickly stood up and rush to see who it is hoping it was Masato but it's someone else...

I can't believe this..

Rias PoV

"His condition is alright now but he might get symptoms again if he's depressed. I'll give you medicines if he can't suppress the pain."

"Doctor, do you think he remember something?"

"That is something you wanna ask him. But remember not to pressure him or anyone in your group. For now, his condition stable and you have nothing to worry about."

"I see, thank you doctor.."

He activated a magic circle and return to the underworld.

I look at Ise who is sleeping with sweats and have a terrified face.

I quickly went over him and lie down beside him while kissing his forehead. I put my right hand to his nape and pull his hair to touch my forehead against him.

I messed up earlier. I didn't have a chance to say sorry properly.

Because my emotions took advantage. I regret shouting at him. I don't want him to be affraid of me. I want him to remember me and love me more than everyone else.

His warm breath can be felt touching my face. I kissed his nose when suddenly he slowly open his eyes.

Ise widen his eyes knowing that he felt my lips landed on his nose and try to backed away. I stop him by pulling him closer and interlocking my legs to his legs.

I try to stay calm and give him a smile but with his eyes looking at me, my heart starts to beat.

He was to affraid of being so close to me now and I don't want that. I like what he's doing before. He said that he likes me Infront of class which is so manly.

I'm imagining that scene to happen months back and thought he wouldn't said it with big crowds but he put lots of courage just to say that.

I love him for that..

But the current us is he's affraid of seeing me and being close to me.

"Buchou..."

What he said is heart breaking. It almost broke my heart for calling me with honorifics.

"Ise..."

My tears are starting to build up when he's desperately trying to seperate himself from me.

Due to my emotions my body is weak. My grip is starting to lose and a little more movement, we might completely seperate.

"Ise... Please..."

Ise stops and tries to look at me. But he can't.

"Please... Just.. Please listen Ise..."

Ise didn't said a word and keeps his words back.

"I... Didn't mean to... Hurt you.. I know you're just trying to calm me down and help me... But please... Do understand that I was just... Mad and I blurt it all up.. Infront of you.. Please... Please forgive me..."

Ise still can't look at me and keeping his words back.

My anxiety is starting to build up on his reaction and to this silent.

This atmosphere is killing me and my anxiety is rising up.

"Ise.. Please say anything..."

He still hasn't responded yet.

"I don't want you...to be affraid of me..."

Ise looks at me and he's trying to look straight in the eye. He tries to look away but I put my hand on his cheek to prevent him.

"You're killing me... I love you.."

After a long moment if silence..

"I-I"

Ise finally speaks and I can't help to have tears flowing from my cheeks..

"Please say something.."

"I'm affraid..."

"And I'm sorry for that.. Please... I'm sorry my Ise..."

"... My...?"

"Yes you're mine..."

"I'm... Yours?"

Me and Ise are so close to each other but I want to be more closer. I hover on top of Ise and he blushed.

I interlocked my legs to his and put both of my hands on his side and pushed my face closer to his.

I kissed his neck in a romantic manner up to his cheeks.

Ise gasped at my actions and speaks with a gentle yet with fear

"B-Buchou I'm sca-"

"Don't be"

"But.."

"I wish you realized that I'm doing this to you to earn your forgiveness and how sorry I am earlier."

"... ... "

Ise didn't speak as if he's thinking something. I kissed his nose and rest my head on his neck.

"Ise..."

"B-Buchou?"

"Do you still love me..?"
