For as long as you have him

So, he didn't walk her home today…Yes she asked for it but she couldn't help the little sigh that escaped her lips. It made her kinda sad not being able to be with him, and though she wouldn't admit it –not even to herself- she secretly hoped that he would disobey and follow her nonetheless. She shook her head to get rid of the thought and tried to concentrate on something else.

The weather was getting extremely nice, she noted. The sky was all blue and had but a few fluffy clouds embellishing its infinity. She smiled as she felt a soothing breeze stroking her face and making her pinkish hair dance. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Spring was soon to come she could already smell it in the air. February was cold and march was too rainy to be considered spring time…but April, April just sound perfect and oh so promising. Little flowers had already popped here and there in the pavement. At the moment everything seemed very peaceful…suspiciously peaceful. Her walking halted at the thought and she looked around cautiously. A frown creeping in her features. Too easy…she walked off school alone all too easily, freely. She patted her lower lip with her index finger, so much time alone and troubles had yet to come up. Maybe she was over thinking. I mean come on she can have her chill days, right? She shrugged it off and proceeded walking, deciding it would be better to enjoy her carefree evening.

But it would still be a little nicer if he was here too…she bit her lip. What am i thinking? We made a promise…and all of this is for his sake, to keep him safe. Though i doubt that he is in such a big danger, maybe we are overreacting, I mean the other Dominions had to choose one of their knights in the end, would it be so wrong if we…sigh…just until we fix the devil's seal, so they can cooperate…Oh boy, who knows how long that will take us…she whined mentally. But then again it would be totally selfish to give up on everything just to be with him…and stupid if you take into consideration that the world might get destructed, so our quality time together would decrease anyway…she chuckled. That was not funny…I am so irresponsible…Why must everything be this way, curse you Papa…it's your entire fault. Well I should've stopped wondering why my fate is such by now…she kneeled to cut a small pink flower from the side of the road and brought it to her nose.Well would you look at that? Beauty can be found everywhere…she smiled and strolled down the road slowly. She just needed those moments so bad.

Her keys jingled as she opened the door of her apartment. Upon stepping inside she tossed her backpack on a chair and took off her shoes. She fell on her bed, relaxing against the comfy mattress.

'Pure bliss…' she muttered while reaching for an extra pillow to hug. I'll have to get changed…my pyjamas are waiting fresh washed in the drawers…she tried to convince herself into getting up…

'Not…enough…stamina…to do…' she yawned ' all…o'…thiiis.' Her eyes had long closed. She drifted into a slumber as the sun was still shedding his light to the horizon.

Kaede was lazily walking down the road to the shrine, with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He had just made sure that she had returned safe and sound at her apartment. No, no he was not stalking her, just making sure she was okay. He had let her leave first-and alone, God it was killing him, but he couldn't do else way, they made a deal after all -so she wouldn't suspect anything. He walked at a distance that allowed him to keep an eye on her and rush to her if something happened. Let's not kid ourselves she is kinda prone to troubles…But today, today nothing happened. It kinda sting him that he couldn't walk her home anymore, but what was incredibly disturbing was the fact that she didn't ask him to- Yeah they made a promise but still he hoped she would, even subtly, ask him to accompany her. That she would imply it in some way.
Well, she didn't.

He was home but his mind still at her. The way she seemed to enjoy the walk, the weather…The way she cut that flower and tucked it in her hair…and it matched the colour of her locks. The way she stopped just to check around for signs of something suspicious…he smiled at that while heading to the bathroom to take a shower. Maybe she sensed his presence or something…he chuckled.

The water falling on his back relaxed him more than anything , but again he was thinking what she would be doing at the moment…For as much as I know her she must be sleeping like a bear in the winter…and she probably didn't even manage to eat before that.

After slipping into his casual clothes he reached for his cell phone sending her a message.

Why did everything seem so dull when she was not around? Maybe he should follow her example and take a nap…The thought was more than appealing. He laid on his bed and in no more than five minutes he was out, snoring softly.

Anis woke up because of the wild grumbles her stomach was giving her. She sat up and realized than not only it was six in the afternoon and that she was still wearing her uniform, but that she was starving to death. She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Thank God she had packed half of the previous day's meal. She reached for it and put it in the microwave for a quick reheating. She noticed her phone on the table…Maybe…maybe she was allowed to talk to him for a while…just a bit. She grabbed it only to find out that he had already texted her…she smiled and felt kinda guilty for not having seen this a bit sooner.

'Seriously you need to eat something…p.s. y.s.l.a..w.b.'

'What is .y.s.l.a.w.b.' she grimaced.

The loud beeping announced the food being ready. She grabbed a fork and begun swirling the pasta in her plate around it, shoving it in her mouth and swallowing –having hardly chewed- the food.

'I'm on it!^^' She texted back.

She finished off, and decided it was high time she took a shower and changed in her pj's. The smell of caramel filled the air.-that new shower gel she bought last weekend was quite the deal- She loved it…it was so relaxing. She put on her sleeping clothes and laid in bed again. She was about to check what was on TV when she remembered his message…y.s.l.a.w.b. what could that mean now?

The curiosity was killing her, but she is not one to let others rack her brains…so then she simply had to ask. The answer came in no time.

'Find it out on your own…'

She groaned. 'It's your favourite game ,isn't it boy?' She took a minute to think about it and then her fingers danced as she pressed the buttons on her cell phone.

'You shall love a wet bun…'

'Nah…'

'You shit loving and wussy bastard?'

'…'

'Come on, it was a nice one, admit it…'

'…no…=.= '

'You should leave a woman be…'

'Are you telling me to get lost, tactfully?'

She giggled at his comment.

'Just guessing ya know…maybe you simply want to talk to me and you're buying time with that stupid thing…'

'You got me there…, actually I was making a point on how you sleep like a water buffalo…'

'Now you just made that up…'

'Nope…'

put the phone next to her and begun chewing her nails. She found texting him extremely boring and cold…not enough. Not even talking with him just texting…not even listening to his voice just stupid smsing…A pout shadowed her features as she eyed the cards on her bed…his card. She had placed a kiss on it before even realizing she had done it. And he was there in no time, messing up her room with the usual fancy entrance, scattering petals all over the place.

He raised both brows looking at her, obviously taken aback.

'So does that mean that you need me, cause I really don't know any more girl…'he shook his head grinning.

'She gazed the floor in an effort to hide her reddened cheeks. He tilted his head to take a look at her after sitting on the edge of the bed she wasn't occupying. He allowed some space between them, even he didn't know why though. None of them dared to speak and the silence was more than awkward. She was tangling and untangling her fingers. Why did she feel so embarrassed for what she had just done?

'I-i… don't like texting…'she voiced after clearing her throat.

'I see…'he muttered

No movement whatsoever. Their eyes met and she quickly looked away, heating up even more.

'Please don't look!' she hid her face in her palms.

'You called for me…'he said softly and shrugged.

'Then I can send you back…' she moved to get the card but he caught her hand before she was able to.

'Why are you like this?' he frowned while rubbing circles with his thumb at the back of her hand.

'Like this how?' she gulped.

'All flustered and distant..' he moved a bit closer.

'I-i..' she exhaled 'I told you to be good, we made a deal and I am the one to brake it first…stupid, stupid, stupid… 'She pressed her teeth together while scolding herself.

'well…' he started, making a funny face 'everyone has a weakness…for you I am yours…' he raised a brow . '…I on the other hand can't resist crème burley…'

'Crème bru-wha?' she stiffed though she knew he was merely teasing her.

'the smell of which…'he continued 'you seem to have all over you…' he leaned to sniffle her neck. She tensed a bit and pushed him away by the shoulders, only to earn a questioning look.

'Let's practice self-control shall we?' she suggested.

'Well, mine is just fine…'he shrugged.

She started blushing all over again, thinking that he was referring to her calling him. He picked up on it soon enough and tried to make up for what he said.

'I didn't mean it…nonononono…I didn't imply anything…'

'Well it seemed that you did…and I don't understand why you would be so thick-headed. .and …and' she was getting frustrated, her cheeks hot. She moved her hands in the air not really caring if what she was saying made any sense.

He had to stop this blabbing, and what better way than crashing his mouth on hers?

At first she was stiff but then the tension melted away…as he slowly licked her lower lip and brought her closer.

'Too much…' he started off, without breaking the kiss. '…thinking.'

She put her hands around his neck and used her weight to push him down. She resulted atop of him, smiling.

'Too much…doing.' she tilted her head, still grinning.

He didn't say anything but rather stared at her. Now what? What did I do and he looks at me like that?

He smiled mildly and cuffed her cheek with his hand.

'Who knew…' he begun

He looked serious when saying this, she noted.

'…that you…' he continued, striving to hide a smirk this time '…would be doing the mental part.' He laughed.

She hit him with a pillow, which made him guffaw.

'And who knew…'she hit him multiple times '…that…' another hit '…I'd come…' she frowned playfully '…to…' she got off him and sat cross legged at his side. 'enjoy your company…idiot.' She ultimately threw him the fluffy object.

He shrugged. 'I did…I mean it was inevitable, how could you resist my charming awesomeness?' he made a fake -it's-so-frigin-obvious- look.

'A bit over-confident, aren't we?' she pressed her lips together.

'Im just being realistic, girl…' he teasingly raised both brows.

'Correction: you're being stupid…' she passed her hand through his hair, and he came closer yearning for contact.(yeah-yeah petting…)

And they didn't notice, none of them. It completely went unnoticed…the figure, the dark figure by the window, that was gazing, being jealous of their moment and plotting, plotting on how to destroy all of this, how to split them up. And once those two have fallen apart, everything would be easier.

'Enjoy him for as long as you have him…make the most out of it because it's not going to last for long…' the low seethe came out of the person's mouth, and if anyone else could hear they would shudder at the threatening tone.

He or she took off, slowly vanishing in the darkness of the night.

So that was it, what did you guys think? Well it took me a while but hey I will have more time in my hands from now on. Errm…I don't know if I am satisfied with it, but if i am negative about it then everyone else is going to be, sooo it's fine.
