The boy followed slowly yet closely after the girl.
It was evident by how his eyes raked her moving figure, and how they softened and brightened at her every action, that he loved her.
The girl continued, unaware of the true depth and clarity of the boy's love, content in the mind-boggling shuffling of the soccer ball between her rubber-soled feet.
"Do you have any regrets?" He asked her.
Nay a pause nor hesitance, she answered him. "Everyone has regrets."
The warmth in the boy's blue-violet eyes conveyed a fondness that showed this was a normal occurrence. But the tenseness of his shoulders and the stiffness of his spine displayed his dissatisfaction with her reply.
"When will you ever give me a straight answer?" He sighed in a way that would have been forlorn if he wasn't smiling.
She did not turn to face him. "When have I not given you a straight answer?"
"Right now." He smirked when she stopped the meaningless yet measured scuffling of the soccer ball, placing one foot to hold it in place, and finally gave him a sideways glance.
She said nothing.
He felt oppressed by weight of her stare.
"Do I have to say it?" He always gave in to her at some point, yet somehow he didn't mind the power she unwittingly held over him.
"It'd be for the best, so I can give you a more specific answer." She turned to him fully this time, blue eyes stung like freezer burn.
"Do you regret…" He faltered in the wake of her scrutiny.
But he persevered. "… this, us…"
Yet he left the part he wanted to know about most, unspoken.
… me?
She hid her frozen-ocean eyes.
His resembled stormy skies.
It was interesting how a touch can calm and soothe, the boy thought when her mildly rough palm warmed his cheek.
"Kaito, if I had any regrets, would I still be here?"
And it was all he needed to hear for the doubts to disappear.
He took her hand in his own, marveling a little at how they mismatched yet fitted all the same.
"Then marry me, Kudou Shinichi."
