When Reino got up in the morning he did his new daily routine. Wake up. Take a shower. Brush his teeth. Eat breakfast while thinking of Kyoko. Before it didn't involve Kyoko at all.
He remembered what had happened the night before when he looked at his phone. He got a message from Kyoko. He quickly clicked on the message and placed the phone onto his ear. "Um…I called because we never really agreed on where we were meeting up so I wondered if you could come to LME. I'll be waiting for on the roof. At 8:30. Also, try not to be seen. I wouldn't ask you to do this if I didn't think that you could handle it."
If she didn't think that he could handle it. Now what did that mean? Reino spent the next twenty minutes dwelling on that last comment. It's not like he couldn't handle it. He has a couple tricks up his sleeves. Like the time he was going after Kyoko in Karuizawa. Then I light bulb lit up. That time in Karuizawa. He found Kyoko in the woods with no problem at all and he did it at shocking speed. Reino smirked as he put on his clothes. Black jeans with chains on the hip area. A dark grey turtle neck and a black leather jacket that reached down to the back of his knees. He also had some of his usual accessories.
When he got into his car he looked at the dashboard and saw that he only had 18 minutes till eight. No problem. He didn't live that far from LME even though he belongs to a completely different agency. He took an alternative route to LME than most people would. It wasn't a short cut and it would take longer to get there but Reino's speed would get him there in less than 15 minutes. He never gets caught for reasons that include his psychic abilities and playing with peoples heads. Freaky stuff. Even Reino thought that it was freaky. Especially when he first got his powers. He shook that thought out of his head and continued driving.
He got to LME with only 6 minutes to spare. Not that many people were in the area that he was. A stroke of pure luck. He found the elevators and pressed the roof button when he got in. It was empty as well. This made him skeptical. Shouldn't this place be packed with people? When the lift stopped he got out and scanned the area for a specific carrot top. No one. He cocked his head. Where was she. "Have fun?" someone asked right into his ear. He jumped and turned around almost hitting the girl in the head with his own.
His breath caught when he looked her over. The girl was wearing a grey tank top with a figure hugging vest over it and a black laced chocker with a silver cross dangling from it. She had black faded skinny jeans that made her mesmerizing legs seem to go on forever. She also had black leather boots with a lot of laces. She also had various accessories on her but not to many. A simple outfit that suited her perfectly.
Reino also noticed that her hair was different. It was the same orange brown color but it seemed longer. A few weeks ago it seemed to be just below her ear. Now it was almost at her bare shoulders and not so choppy. And then there was her face. Her usual face that had only the lightest amount of makeup now had still a light amount but she had bright red lips that were also a little pinkish and glossy. He continued to stare at her lips for a moment before acknowledging her presence. "Hey. You took me by surprise. Not an easy thing to do." he laughed a little shakily. Was I nervous?
"I know. I tend to act differently around you." she said walking past him. "Why don't you have a coat? It's pretty chilly out." he said walking behind her. "I do." she answered by inclining her head to the railing. "Oh." he said. They just stood there in silence. Kyoko understood that he was maybe nervous and was just messing with him by making him be the first one to speak. "So what's with the outfit? Image change?" he said getting back some of his casual self.
"I guess you could say that." she said simply. "I kind of like black now. It's comfortable." she added. "Yeah. That's why I wear it." Reino said.
"Oh really? I thought for sure it was because you were copying Sho." she mocked. He narrowed his eyes at her. Not because she was wrong. But because she was right.
"So what was with last night's call?" he said changing the subject. "What was with yesterday's kiss?" she countered. Kyoko was actually stalling. She was nervous as well but she's not an actress for nothing.
"That was because I lo-" Reino paused. He didn't want to be the first one to say it. He wasn't even sure if Kyoko felt the same. Kyoko just stared at him. Waiting to finish.
Kyoko sighed. She wasn't exactly in love with him but she was getting there. "Were you going to say that you love me?" she asked calling him out for it. He looked down. "Would you feel better if I said that I at least like you?" she offered. Reino thought about that. It was maybe too early for her to be completely in love with him. He looked up at her and smiled. "Sure. For now." he added while smirking. Kyoko laughed. "Okay, now that that's settled what do you want to do?"
"How about we talk about the day you saw me at that music store with the others? I know that you were afraid but there was something else. I can't really put a finger on it but I thought that you might know?" Reino said. Kyoko's back was faced towards him so he couldn't see the small smile that was on her face. "What a coincidence. I was actually thinking about that last night. I was afraid. That much was obvious. I think the other emotion was attraction." she said still not facing him.
Attraction. That one word made his world a little more brighter than it ever was before.
He walked closer to her until her back was almost directly on his chest. "Oh, really? What kind of attraction?" he asked brushing his fingers down her arm until her found her hand and held it. Kyoko felt a shiver run down her spine. She turned around and held on to Reino's hand. "This kind." she whispered. With that she leaned up and gave a quick kiss on Reino's lips.
