Still in Ruuka's POV… I'm having way too much fun with this.
I've had my own share of misfortunes and I'm proud and thankful for all of them, really. They reminded me—constantly—about the harsh realities of life. And that, I think, is one of the things that has served to fuel my desire to overcome my petty little insecurities that I knew would eventually dig up a gigantic hole and drag me inside.
But this… this… THIS was just insulting! It's demeaning! Humiliating! Mortifying!!!
I could feel every muscle in my body tense up as Hotaru pressed harder against me. Oh gods… what the hell does she think she's doing? No, you pervert… don't let your mind stray to such despicable things… ARGH!!!
This is all Natsume's fault… yeah! And those stupid fangirls! If they didn't have the automatic reflex to chase me at every darn corner I wouldn't be trapped here with images of bloody torture going through my mind!!! What the hell do I tell Hotaru when she wakes up???
"Whining won't get me anywhere." I muttered angrily to myself, and I could almost imagine Hotaru rolling her eyes at my ardent stupidity if she had the liberty to be awake at such an embarrassing moment of mine.
I tried wiggling. No use. If possible, it made my position even more disconcerting. And since when did Imai get such strong arms anyway? Maybe from lifting the hammer too damn much.
I considered biting her… but dismissed the thought afterward.
Oh sweet gods… what the hell do I do?
And then, just when I was about to declare myself sucker of the year and congratulate me before anybody else could, something very surprising but irritatingly inevitable occurred.
Hotaru spoke.
Very, very sorry for the late (and very very short) update. School's being a bully with projects, quizzes and the final exams. Remember the exams I told you about earlier? That was just the first part. We're having another batch come the end of the week. Argh! Sorry again… especially if it sucks… I try my best… but it doesn't quite come out the way I want it to. ARGH!!!
I'll stop my pitiful rant here. Please review.
