A/N: Sorry for the long hiatus. I've been busy with IRL stuffs.
Chapter 4
"Ritsu"
"Ritsu"
"Wake up Ritsu"
Silky black hair covered me and something soft landed on my chapped, rough lips. I ran my hands around her back loosening the clothe that covers her.
"Mio..." she snuggled in my chest and giggled. "You're still so flat." My eyes snapped open and tackled her.
"Oh shut up! I have more bullets at my arsenal." She squirmed beneath me, gasping for air while laughing.
"R-Ritsu s-s-stop tickling me!"
"You asked for it!" I grabbed her wrists and leaned forward. Her eyes met mine and after a brief darkness, our tongues intertwined.
Mio's laughter... that cloudy morning. That was the first time we made love and affirmed our feelings for each other.
"Mio. I left them... I swore to protect you so I-" her arms wrapped around me and whispered sweet words.
"It's ok. Stay with me. We'll work things out."
Her sweet sentiments and the moment when we felt our relationship grow stronger. That was the day I left my house because they didn't approve of my relationship with her.
"Ritsu... you can't stay stuck in the idea of a band forever." a figure laid her briefcase on the desk and clucked her tongue. "You can't even fix your life on your own". I grit my teeth and snarled at her.
"When did you have a right to decide my life for me? I never asked that from you. All I did was choose you over my family. It must be so easy to get something due to your parent's connections. After all I don't think I'll ever understand that privilege." I shut my mouth at once. I didn't mean to say that. I- I why did I?
She looked trapped. Like she was about to cry. What am I supposed to say? Sorry?
"Sorry." she muttered. "But I didn't ask you to choose me over them either..."
That day I heard something crack.
We were watching a movie about a promiscuous girl.
"I'm glad I don't know any slut in real life. I mean, being into open relationships is ok. Just don't mess around when you're supposed to be in a monogamous one. Haha. Seriously. If I ever knew someone like that, I'd totally drop any respect I have for them." she shuffled uncomfortably under the blanket.
"Ritsu... I have something to confess to you..."
That day I felt my heart shatter and I was left with a strange hole. It was silent. It was strange. That day was my end...
I'm trembling... my palms are sweaty. Thousands of thoughts are running through my mind... but I can't even utter one word.
I...
"Ritsu?" soft hands are cupping my cheeks.
"Ritsu... " the owner of those hands embraced me. A strange scent...
"It's alright... you don't have to force yourself... I'll wait."
Tears are ruining her dress Stop it. Stop crying. You can't show this weak side of yours anymore.
This is so uncool...
This...
This scent... what is this...
