Chapter 7 ~{(True feelings revealed)}~
All weekend I had stayed lock up in my house, I didn't even attempt to leave the comfort of my bed. I've tried to piece together what I had remembered, this pain in my heart, and the fact that the moment I try to remember my feelings, my body gets hot, but the weekend had past and now was a new day for school. I groan looking at the clock. It's 6... I had gotten very good at running out the door with a piece of toast, fully dressed, shoes on, within 5 minutes, So why was it that I was up early?
I sit up and began getting ready in the slowest amount of time I could think of, stopping every once in a while thinking of the pain in my heart. I know what it is now, and I really didn't want to admit it, I was fine as I was, so why is it this new sensation is kicking in. Without thinking about it I ended up walking towards school it was maybe 6:30, so I guess I'll go to the library and read a bit.
Was I ready to admit it? From what I remember, I was in love with Professor Stein, but he hadn't yet discovered what it meant to be in love. That is until I walked out of his life. What part out of all of this madness, the one thing I still can't figure out, is how I lost all of my memories of Stein in the first place. I remember whenever I met eyes with Stein, I felt so... lustful for him to hold me to him.
I shook my head as I got into the library. I don't want to start out the day thinking that way, but I guess there's nothing wrong with admitting my love for him. I sigh and slammed, literally slammed, my face down into the table as I sat down. I guess now that I'm thinking about it more, I admit it to myself I'm in love with him. I pant a bit again, my face getting warm again. No, I can't be here in this state. 6:55 now, and I want to go home, but instead of going home I head down into the infirmary.
I let Lady Medusa know whats wrong and she allows me to lay down. I sigh and rest my head a bit. I wasn't sure how long I was out but I wake up to the sound of people talking. I look down at my watch 12. Lunch break.
"You know... It could be that maybe you're a witch..." My eyes widen. what was that? I think that was Steins voice, my face got hot again. dammit... now is not a time for my body to be reacting this way.
"That's just cruel..." Medusa? What were they talking about... He spoke to her again, and I almost let out my pant, but I bit down on my lip to keep quiet. Why was Stein accusing her of being a witch. I listened, and the way she was talking almost sounded like she had a bit of interest in him. My blush deepened. This was not only embarrassing but infuriating. At least she doesn't know about mine and Steins connection. He had left the room and I got up after I had cooled down.
"Thanks, I think I'm better now." I say walking to the door, she had glared at me then quickly smiled at me.
"That's good to hear, have a good day." She cooed. That was weird, maybe she had said something that she didn't want me to hear. I rushed out the door and ran after Stein. Out of breath I finally caught up to him, and he spun around to look at me.
"Stein!"I shout and stop to catch my breath. "Professor... I need to talk to you." He nodded and smirked at me. "It's about Lady Medusa." I whispered. His lowered to mine and then his smile had faded.
"Follow me." He led me outside to the rooftop... good no one was here. "So what is about Medusa... do you know something?" He asked quickly.
"Actually I only overheard what you guys were talking about, I was in the infirmary, but that's not why I brought you to the rooftop, I need to tell you something. It's really important, and I don't want anyone else to hear but you."
"Stop." He pulled out a cigarette. "Don't talk about it now.."
"But Stein... you want to say it, I need to tell you that I..."
"STOP!" He grabbed his forehead and spun around to look over the town. "I'm sorry Mayura... I've wanted nothing more but to be with you, but for right now, you need to forget me, I'm really sorry."
I don't know why but that hurt a lot. I fell to my knees and grabbed my chest. "That's it? You torment me and tease me, and were the biggest part of my past, and then you just throw me as if it had never happened?" He was silent. I bit my bottom lip from screaming at him. "Why is this happening again?" I asked. I wasn't going to let it happen again, I want to fight for it this time. I launched myself up and at him. He didn't flinch away from me.
I pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and that's when my lips forcefully crushed against his. He didn't pull away from and I held it tight. I let go to look at him and nothing. "I'm not letting go this time, I'm not walking away from this. Stein, I want to let you know... I love you." He turned his head to the side. and I pulled it back to look at him. The bridge of his nose was now red. I smiled and leaned back into a kiss, and at that instance his lips starting moving against mine, his arms finally wrapping around me, the pull to keep me close, the heat between us, the sound of his heart beat, were now all in affect.
"I'm sorry Mayura.. I can't really explain now, but you can't be near me." He whispered into my ear. "Can you wait for me again?" I nodded and his lips came crashing down on mine once more. "Then let this be my promise, and that was terms of agreement."
"I want to know everything, whenever you figure out whatever you're doing, and honestly I don't know why you led me on if you were just going through things again."
"Because you needed to remember, it was important."
"Stein... Do you know why I lost my memories in the first place?" He was silent. "So this thing you're going through is because of me."
"Unfortunately yes, but soon, you'll be able to understand, once I get rid of the threat."
"Who or what is the threat?" He was silent again. "Please just tell me that, so I don't have to worry about loosing you again."
"Medusa." He had whispered. My eyes widen, and I blinked fast. "Now please just head back to class and pretend none of this ever happened. You don't know me outside of Professor Stein, and I don't you outside of Student Mayura." I nodded and went back for the door but stopped and looked back over my shoulder.
"Stein... you promised me something three days ago... one last time, please?" I panted. He smiled at me and nodded.
"I love you Mayura." I blushed keeping that memory safe and running back down the hall.
