House
Kota x Lumina
Den
Dr. Sakaki's Lab
Kota just finished doing some errands that was given to him by Dr. Sakaki. He was already on his way out when she saw Lumina walked outside her room. They rarely talked with each other since she always out on a mission so he thought this might be a chance for him to break the ice and get to know her.
Kota took a deep breath to calm himself and called the ashen blonde Gods Eater who was obviously oblivious to her surroundings. It's either she didn't saw him, or she never even cared if he was there in the first place.
"Hey Lumina!" he called while waving at her.
The girl turned to him but didn't spoke anything. She just stared at him.
Kota finally realized that she was actually waiting for him to talk. He walked towards her and gave her a wide grin. "Can I ask you something?" he asked.
Lumina just kept her cool (or rather cold) demeanor and answered. "What is it?"
She's not being mean or anything but somehow, she felt kinda distant. She was hard to grasp.
Kota suddenly got nervous around her. It doesn't matter what kind of question he give; he just need to respond, fast.
"Where do you live?" he scratched his head and asked on a whim.
Lumina cocked her head in surprise and pointed downwards. "Here…"
"Before that." he responded.
Lumina closed her eyes for a moment to collect her thoughts. She pondered his question carefully before answering.
"Central Branch."
The teen's jaws almost dropped on the floor. Serious or not, Lumina's reply dumbfounded him. She couldn't be that stupid could she?
Kota cleared his question just in case. "I mean, where you lived before you became a Gods Eater."
Lumina raised a questioning brow at him. "With my parents." she stated.
Kota smirked at her response. "I see what you're doing." he thought. He rested his hands behind his neck and with a large grin plastered on his face.
Uhmm. . . where does your parents live?
At our house. .
He confirmed it. Lumina was doing it on purpose.
Kota continued with his questions in the hopes of hearing an acceptable answer.
You're gonna tell me where you lived if it's the last thing I do!
He placed both his hands in Lumina's shoulders and gave her a serious look.
"Where is your house?"
"Next to my neighbor's house." she answered.
Kota's grin grew wider; Just a little more! he thought. He asked her once again, tightening his grip on her shoulder.
Where is your neighbor's house? he asked.
Lumina suddenly became silent; she painfully closed her eyes as if she was relieving a tragic moment.
If I tell you. . .will you believe me? she asked him with a determined look.
Kota unconsciously gulped at her reaction. This is it! Finally!
He released the girl from his grip and he answered hurriedly. "Of course I will! Tell me!"
Lumina gave him a bitter smile before taking a deep breath. She leaned to his side and moved her face near his ears.
"Next. . .
to. . .
our. . .
house. "
Lumina tapped his shoulder and left the now 'stupefied' Kota to himself.
Author's Note:
This is actually longer than I expected.
Oh, the requests... I'll start working on them now.
I was just too absorbed in watching anime. :3
