I held onto the door knob with trembling fingers. Maybe he had gone to sleep. If he did, this was my chance. If I don't take this opportunity, he'll end up killing me; I won't be able to say good bye to Subaru. I gulped down my fear and opened the door. All the lights in the living room were off, so he must be asleep. I sighed and tip toed to the front door lightly, making sure not to make a sound. As soon as my hand touched the door handle, the lights flicked on. I turned my head rapidly and saw Fuuma standing there, smirking at me.

"Fuuma…"

"Where are you going?" he asked, obviously on alert. I sighed to myself and walked over to him. I stared up at him with flinty eyes, and yet, the sorrow just seemed to shine through them.

"I need to go find Subaru."

"Hmmm…" Fuuma said. I took that as a no. I looked down with teary eyes and sighed. I needed to get away from him. I did want to stay, but I couldn't. Subaru needed me. I thought for a moment as he continued to stare down at me. I closed my eyes tightly and hugged Fuuma. I could feel his heart skip a beat. A tear ran down my face.

"Please… He needs my help… Please, Fuuma." I pleaded. Fuuma stood still as his heart hummed. I pressed my face into his coat deeply, my voice muffled. Fuuma sighed and put his hands on my shoulders lightly, almost letting them hover. I looked up at him. He smiled.

"I guess he needs you more than I need you." He said. I blushed and looked to the side with unsure eyes, locked in their sockets. I leaned forward a bit. I stood on my toes and kissed him on the cheek. The side of his face was warm, like his personality. I could feel his face get hot. He was blushing. His heart fluttered simultaneously with mine. I broke away from him and stared down at the floor.

"Thank you… You have a big heart." I managed to say. I walked over to the door and opened it, but stopped. I sighed again, making sure not to turn around. I didn't want to see his face, but at the same time, that's all I wanted. I swallowed my pride and looked back at him. He stood there, his face red and his hands shaking at his sides. "Come… come see me. If that's not too much… Okay?" I said. His face turned fire truck red and he swallowed. His expression faded into a smile.

"I will. I'll see you later… Kamui." He said.

"I'll see you later…" I said, and I walked out. I followed Subaru's force. I hoped that he was alright. I could feel the distress in his presence.
