Thank you very much :)

CHAPTER 9

The rain poured heavier that night; i should really be freezing in the coldness of the wind blowing and my wet clothes didn't help either, but the strange feeling of happiness in my heart kept me warm inside.

I used to hate the rain because there's something about it that is making me feel sad and alone, but that night as we walked our way home he held my hand interlacing our fingers; making me feel wanted and protected.

Although it was such a short walk the memories of that night was enough to last me a lifetime. The rain served as a witness to the changes inside my heart; the night Misaki Ayuzawa admitted that she was falling in love.

Finally we got home and our hands parted because Takumi wanted to open the door for me. I immediately went inside and gave him a towel "dry yourself with this" i said then i quickly went to the bathroom to take a bath and change into my pajamas.

When i walked out of the bathroom i saw Takumi standing at the corner with the towel hanging on his shoulder. His face, neck and arms were dried but his hair, shirt, shorts and legs were still soaking wet. I couldn't help but smile and adore his cuteness looking like that. He noticed me when he turned his head to the side and caught me staring at him. He smiled at me and announced happily "Misaki i'm dry."

I bit my lower lip to stifle my laugh and averted my gaze on the floor. "No you're not; now stay there for a while" i quickly turned away and chuckled. I took the box that Kanou left; it's filled with things that he doesn't use anymore. I remembered some t-shirts and shorts there and it didn't take too long before i found it; it's a little worn out but it's definitely better than nothing. "Found it!" i said as i took a red t-shirt and a black knee length shorts.

I stood in front of him "Takumi please sit down" i ordered, i could tell he is wondering why but he obeyed me anyways. I kneeled in front of him putting the clothes at my side and pulled the towel from his shoulder then i laid it on his head and rubbed it against his head which messed up his blonde locks. He was staring at me the whole time; observing what I am doing. I felt so uneasy at his stare and my cheeks are heating up again so i avoided any eye contact with him. "There! I'm done" i said as i smiled cheekily. He raised a hand to touch his hair but his eyes were never leaving my face. "It's dry… Thank you Misaki."

"Now take your wet clothes off and put this on" handling him Kanou's clothes." He quickly took his shirt off which shocked me to hell and made me blush madly! "Wha-what on earth are you doing?!" i stammered in panic as i quickly covered my eyes with my hand. "Huh? Misa didn't you tell me to.." i cut his words as i spoke "i know! I know what i said. Just do the changing of clothes inside the bathroom ok?" i couldn't even bear to look at him now that his shirtless; gosh I feel so uncomfortable! But i do admit that he have a perfect body too. HELL! Here i go again!

He went inside the bathroom while i cleaned up the wet floor then i laid my mattress on the floor preparing to sleep. I decided to wait for him to come out of the bathroom so i sat on the mattress and leaned my back on the wall. My waiting didn't take too long.

"I'm done Misa" as he made his way to me. Boy am i glad that my brothers clothes fits him perfectly and even though his clothes were a little worn out he still looks dashing. "Hmm" was my only reply to him as i smiled cheekily. He smiled at me too and sat beside me. We stayed silent for a while until he spoke..

"It really feels good to kiss you Misaki" he said it like it was such a very ordinary thing to say. My eyes grew wide and my heart raced, i felt my cheeks heating up again. I quickly turned my head to the side to look at him and what i didn't know is he was already looking at me and grinning.

I panicked because i didn't know how to react or what to say to him so instead, i immediately change the subject. "ahm so Takumi; where did you learn to fight? I mean the punching that man's face and the kicking thing?" i asked awkwardly.

"From the anime we're watching" he simply answered. I felt my jaw dropped "O-k.. i see, you're learning a lot from that anime huh?" He smiled at me and replied "Yes! Not just fighting i also learned how to cook and arrange tables and many things more." I was fondly looking at him and listening to whatever he's saying; i'm just amazed of the way he's acting like a child, bragging about the new things he's learning; and i couldn't help but chuckle.

A yawn escaped my mouth but i kept on asking him playfully "you know what Takumi? i'm wondering what else did that anime taught you?" I said while rubbing my eyes because my vision was starting to get blurry due to my sleepiness. As i opened my eyes to look at him; i was a little surprised to see him staring at me seriously and spoke " It taught me how to take care and protect the most important person in my existence." The way he said those words left me dumfounded. He then leaned much closer to my side and kissed my cheek before whispering "goodnight my Misaki."

- Forgive me with this chapter. I promise to give you a much meaningful chapter next time. :)
