So a few months have past now and school is nearing to an end. I've actually managed to put off all questions about how I really feel about Momiji. Though it's been rather difficult, Kisa managed to get Rin, Tohru, and even Haru to constantly badger me with questions -.-. It's horrible. Every time I see one of them it's 'So, how are you feeling about 'you know who'?' if Momiji is around, I always feel like we're talking about Voldemort or something if they say it like than, then Haru and Rin are much more blunt when he's not around… Usually it's 'Just get up your damn courage and tell Momiji how you feel! It's so god damn obvious how much you like each other!' That's usually the point where I run away and go hide somewhere else for a bit.
But anyways, today I'm going to hang out with Momiji, who I've notice has gotten a lot taller, but still wears the same weirdo clothes. It's ok though 'cause that's the Momiji I know and love ^^. But if he gets any taller I really think he should change his normal attire because he can just barely still pull it off… So back to my original point, I'm going home with him after school. I didn't feel like going home since my parents had started fighting again, they had been doing so well too*sigh*, so he said I should come over and he'll play his violin and then we might go get ice cream. I of course said yes to the invite. I haven't gotten to listen to him play in so long, besides, why the hell would I pass up a chance to ice cream? I mean seriously that stuff is like crack!
So as we were walking to his house hand in hand an older woman smiled at us and turned to who I assumed was her husband and said, "How cute, don't they remind you of the two of us when we were so young and in love?"
"Yeah, they do actually." I smiled warmly at her, you could tell they were one of those couples that still love each other as much as the first day they met.
Momiji and I both blushed at the comments, and let go of the others hand. From then on the rest of the walk was completely silent, and not the comfortable silence, it was a completely awkward silence that wasn't broken until we finally reached the Sohma estate.
"Oh, Akemi, Momiji, I haven't seen you two in a while. How have things been?" Hatori gave us a small almost unnoticeable smiled.
"Uhm… They've been going ok I guess…" 'But that damned dream still keeps coming up every now and again!'
"Really well Ha'ri." Momiji smiled brightly at him.
"That's good. Where are you going?"
"To my house, Akemi's parents are fighting again so I'm going to play my violin to cheer her up."
"I'm sorry to here that Akemi, but that's very sweet if you Momiji… Well I better be off. I have to go take care of Akito…"
I cringed when I heard that bastard's name, "Thank you… See you around Hatori-san…" I quickened my pace and started walking towards Momiji's house again.
"Wait up Aki-chan!" I heard Momiji call after me, "Why are you going so fast?"
"Oh… Uhm… I'm just really hot and tired. I just wanted t be able to lie down faster." I gave him a small smiled and stopped walking as soon as we reached his door.
"Oh… Ok then." He nodded and opened the door for me.
As soon as we got inside we left our shoes by the door and went straight to his room. I dropped my backpack by his bedroom door, set my cell phone on his table, and flopped onto his bed on my stomach. My face landed right on his pillow. I took a deep inhale through my nose. The sent of the pillow was sweet and comforting, just like Momiji himself.
After a few minutes of silence I heard Momiji riffling around in his closet, he must have been looking for his violin. When it finally stopped I lifted my head up slightly too look at him. He grinning down at me, "So what would you like to hear first? I know all pretty much all classical music and I even learned Swing Life Away by Rise Against for you."
"What? You didn't have to do that Momiji… I mean… That bet was so long ago… And you even won."
"I know, but I still wanted to learn it. I know it's your favorite song."
I couldn't help but smile at him, "Thank you Momiji… Uhm… Why don't you play what ever you feel like, and when you're ready, end with Swing Life Away." I laid my head back down on the pillow I closed my eyes.
"Ok, will do." And with that the beautiful sound of flawless violin music filled the house. I couldn't believe how perfect it was. Maybe it's just because it's been almost a year since I've heard him last. He's obviously gotten better.
