Session One
I was woken up by someone knocking on the door. I hadn't yet gotten out of bed when the door opened. Honestly I wasn't surprised to find Ruka on the other side, though I had hoped that it would be someone else.
"Out of bed right now!" she commanded as she stormed over to my closet, and she began digging as she had done yesterday. I was lucky that she only pulled out a skirt and a nice shirt instead of one of the dresses that she probably wanted to put me in. "Put this on, then go to the dining room for breakfast."
She marched out of my room, slamming the door. I rubbed my eyes as I removed myself from the warm, comfortable bed I was occupying and put on the clothes Ruka had taken out for me. I did so because I would really hate to piss her off if she would be forever picking out my clothes.
It was a quick walk over to the dinning room after I got dressed, and I wasn't surprised that everyone was already there. I was nervous about my seat though because I was stuck in the same one as last night, between Kaname and Aido. It was only more awkward because of what had happened last night. Soon I was seated and eating. Kaname was the first to speak when everyone was basically done. "Everyone knows what they will be doing today. Yuki you will be spending the day without Aido in tutoring."
Aido gave me a wicked smile and I quickly turned away in an attempt to hide my blush.
Everyone was leaving the table a moment later, and soon the only ones still at the table were Kaname, Aido, and me. Aido seemed as nervous as I was and it probably had something to do with what had happened. Most likely he was worried that Kaname had found out. Still he began joking around. "So we should go and get working. Did you know that she's never done calculus? She spent how many years there and knows next to nothing!"
Kaname stood up to join me and Aido on the way to the door. He put his hand on my cheek and kissed the other. "Have fun." He said aloud and then added as a whisper in my ear, "Good luck."
Then Kaname turned around and started going the other way. Aido then grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door, down the hall, and into another room. He moved so quickly that I didn't even know what room we ended up in, but I assumed that it was the study parlor.
The room was very bare and dark. Black lace wallpaper hugged the walls. There were only a few book cases, and a table sat in the middle of the room with two chairs. The only lighting in the study parlor was a few candles spread throughout the room and one huge lamp in the center of the table.
"So, I'm changing the agenda for today. Instead of calculus we are going to be going over poetry. So what I would like you to do is write a simple poem." Aido spoke as if he were teaching a room full of students instead of just me.
"I'm not really good with writing poems."
"Well, neither am I so how about I write one with you so you're not alone in this?"
I quickly nodded and we wrote in silence for at least ten minutes before we both announced, "Done!" at the same time. I couldn't help but laugh and as if by instinct he joined him with me.
"So you go first." We continued in harmony, but still I managed to be the first one to speak the next time, "No you!"
He looked at me, and sighed before clearing his throat.
"An angel standing in the snow now faces me; oh how I wish she opens her mouth to say to me the words I've been longing to hear; her confused gaze intoxicates me; and even though I know she doesn't cry for me; I do wish to see her smile and know that smile is my doing."
His words turned to velvet as they slowly drifted from his mouth in a sweet lullaby. I was shocked because I didn't know Aido could write such beautiful words.
"Aido that was beautiful." I said now gazing at him as I repeated my thoughts to him.
"Really? I see something so beautiful I'm afraid that it's just a dream." I didn't notice how close we were sitting to each other until I realized that he pressed his neck to my lips. "Yuki, please drink you must be pretty thirsty."
"But, Kaname…" I began but started trailing off. Just then I felt an intense impulse before my throat ran dry. "Aido, I can't."
"Kaname's not going to be home for another four hours, at least. I can tell you're really thirsty by how tightly you're grasping my shirt."
It was just then that I realized that my hands clenched his deep red button up shirt. As I was about to make my decision Aido slowly pulled away from me and continued with the lesson. I tried to focus on his words but all I could think was how could I almost betray Kaname? I had to see him once he got home.
