Chapter 15: Wet offenses
Madoka walked towards Hikaru and Kyoya. But, as she went closer to Hikaru, she saw something strange. Her face was... painted. With make up. Yeah, painted. Her eyelids were painted in pink, yellow, pale purple and green and under her eyes she was painted with silver and red. Madoka also saw a vague shade of gold. Hikaru's lips were outlined in fuchsia, but her lips' color was a frosty violet. Anyway, she was looking... funny.
Madoka also saw that Kyoya wasn't very different. He wasn't painted at his eyes, but he had all over his cheeks and face lipstick, eyeliner and other things in different shades, excepting the lipstick, which was that frosty violet Hikaru had on her lips. 'These two... Ah, calm down, Madoka, of course there's nothing.' Madoka tried to chill out.
She friendly hugged Hikaru, who responded her by hugging her back for some seconds, then smiled warmly to her. Soon, Madoka also adopted the subject and asked her about her face.
Kyoya also heard what she asked Hikaru. They two looked at each other with the corner of their eyes and hardly held back their laughs while finally burst into laughing. "Well... Let's say... we played..." Hikaru answered with some playful eyes, still looking at Kyoya, who responded with the same expression. Madoka started to worry about it. If they were together? I mean, she heard they lived together about... two months? Until Kyoya calmed her...
"Well, I got angry because Hikaru was making up in those dark colors; even if she said she hates shades... so... I worked hard on her look... And she also worked hard on my look..." he explained, trying to don't make any nice scene there. Madoka breathed freely somehow, even if she was confused. She didn't really know what was happening with her. She somehow missed Kyoya.
Anyway, she just gave them some tissues to clean their faces.
Kyoya's POV
Yeah... I entered my dusty house which I didn't really miss in those two months. I threw my bag on the couch and stopped in the middle of my living room. I peered around, gaping to everything. "Wow... It just like in a museum." I showed my surprise, while cleaning the dust with my index finger. I let a trail on the dusty furniture.
Then I sighed and opened the window to air the house. By the way, the air was terrible there... It smelled like there was mold, but the house was kinda still clean. Then I smiled while remembering about my lipsticks and shades session with Hikaru. I slowly touched my right cheek and remembered the moment when she kissed my check. Somehow I regretted I cleaned my face when I met Madoka. I would have liked keeping Hikaru's lipstick on my cheek forever. I think this is the third time when she kisses my check. She knows to let people confused. And to cause pain... And to subjugate men... And to bewitch people... And to suddenly become the most beautiful girl in this world... And other qualities and etc, etc. I'm trying to do not become too obsessed with her. Eh. Fight!
End of Kyoya's POV
Hikaru's POV
Okay, okay, people, I have no idea what to start with... I finally entered my apartment. I kinda missed it all this time so I enjoyed admiring the furniture and the walls... the magazines in my bathroom which I never read... But I couldn't lie... I was afraid. Very afraid. I let the story with the mercury behind me... I let something so serious there. But, if I forget it... and everything happened in that town, including the part with Hyoma, then it's gonna be okay. Um... I thought forgetting Hyoma is gonna be a big challenge. But it is kinda easy. I don't know... I wake up at the morning and I think about him, but then... Then I don't realize and... the sun goes down and I go back in my bed. But I don't think about Hyoma. I think about the day. Because it was a great day. Life and world are beautiful... The problem is about people. They cannot see the beauty of the world. I learned to admire everything around me in this experience.
Then I opened my window, seeing something surprising. It was raining. It really shocked me... It was raining... Seriously? Rain? Now? I can say I like rain... How everyone would say sometimes... Because no one can see I am crying. Well, I was happy, so I smiled. I took Kyoya's necklace from my pocket and stared at it. "Today is gonna be better... I feel it." I said to the necklace while smiling. Then my smile disappeared as recalling the moment and the feeling when Kyoya hugged me from behind. As I thought about it a little, I suddenly rescued my smile, remaining the same cheerful smile.
Then I wondered how that girl could look like. My imagination didn't swirl too far however. I quickly walked towards my door, letting the window open to air and left the house. I wanted to see the park again and to dance in the rain and... I was euphoric.
End of Hikaru's POV
For Hikaru's surprise, the spring started to reveal itself. There wasn't snow or melted snow on the ground, and some trees had a few leaves. Hikaru grinned and walked on an energetic pace on that large alley. "Ah, it's the end of February? Really, already, so soon? I cannot believe..." she exclaimed while enjoying the raindrops all over her face.
Then she slowed down her pace and walked though the curtain of rain. Hikaru started to spin while walking. "I'm losing my mind... And you are so beautiful, Hikaru..." she said to herself while remembering about Kyoya's terms. She laughed and continued spinning. "And you are a pervert bitch..."
"Hey, wait! I also wanna join!" someone suddenly spoke. Hikaru turned to see none other than Yuu, walking towards her with energetic steps. Hikaru stopped spinning while Yuu arrived in front of her and started to spin. She sneered but spun, too.
"Crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy! I'm losing my mind..." Hikaru sang. Well, she would have sung more if Yuu wouldn't have cut her:
"Ah, c'mon... You can do many better things than losing your mind for Kyoya! And you two aren't matching anyway!" he exclaimed, without stopping spinning. Hikaru pretended she didn't hear the part with losing her mind, but she noticed something.
"You just called Kyoya on his real name?" Hikaru asked on a shocked voice. However, she kept spinning. Yuu would have answered his question if Kenta wouldn't have been run towards him and scolded him:
"C'mon, Yuu! Benkei is waiting for us and you are dancing in rain?" Then he pulled Yuu's arms and both of them walked away. Kenta acted like he didn't see Hikaru. So, she was alone, but stopped spinning.
"Ah, if Kyoya would be here..." She ran and hid under a big tree. She took her cell and called Kyoya.
"Kyoyaa, my friend, what are you doing?" she asked cheerfully. "Oh, can you come at the park if you're not busy? Yep. Thaaanks, you're the best! Ta-ta, see you! Kisses and lots of lovee!" Hikaru put her cell back in her pocket and ran directly in the rain. She continued spinning with a grin on her face. "Crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy! I'm losing my mind!"
Then Hikaru laughed and slowly stopped spinning. "I got dizzy..." she muttered as the world was spinning around her just like she was doing some moments ago.
Later
Kyoya looked for Hikaru at the park, well, he wasn't hurrying (or maybe he was somehow because he was worried she could do something ugly; he started to think she really needs a psychiatrist).
After he finally found her on a big alley, he noticed she wasn't spinning anymore. She was standing there, looking at the sky. Kyoya walked towards her on tiptoe, and slowly embraced her waist from behind, making her feel like she was going to be kidnapped. "Who told you to call me 'your friend'?" he asked on a threatening but playful voice. Hikaru would have punched him if she wouldn't have recognized his voice. "And who told you to give me lots of kisses and love?" he asked on the same tone. Hikaru slowly tried to turn around.
She grinned and kissed his check. "Hiii... Of course it was my idea... For my sweet friend... Oh, and thanks for not bringing an umbrella!" she saluted in her terms. Well, she wasn't trying to tease him or to be ironic when she thanked him. She was really grateful he didn't bring an umbrella. Kyoya remained speechless, but amused by her behavior.
"So... did you call me just to dance with you?" he asked with a determined and cold expression. His usual one. Not just trying to make her laugh. Hikaru nod her head cheerfully with a big smile on her face. Kyoya sneered.
"Um... I wanna eat some chocolate!" Hikaru exclaimed. Kyoya raised an eyebrow, but suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind. He turned. Madoka was walking towards them with an umbrella. Hikaru turned, too, but the fact Madoka had an umbrella pissed off her. She walked towards her and snatched the umbrella from her hand, sneering. "No umbrellas allowed here..." Then she threw the umbrella away and went back at Kyoya. Madoka sighed but followed her with no word.
"Okay, okay, guys, I wanna eat chocolate!" Hikaru exclaimed again. Madoka started to panic. "Ah, my hair! How can you stand here? Ah, I'm outta here. I'll catch a great meningitis! How can you stand here...?" Madoka asked in surprise. Then the rain became more violently. Madoka ran under a tree, with was pretty far from there, but Kyoya and Hikaru remained there. She started to spin, while Kyoya laughed at her, giving Madoka some thoughts.
'Ah, these two... What's with them? Hikaru wasn't crazy before this. Kyoya neither. And they weren't talking to each other before this... At any rate... It's not okay.'
"Um... When I was seven... A boy was always kissing my check... even if I always told him to stop..." Hikaru explained while spinning. Kyoya widened his eyes. "And what did you do?" he showed his curiosity. Hikaru stopped spinning and laughed. "I beat him!" she answered triumphal.
"Wait, wait, wait... Are you threatening me?" Kyoya asked being somehow shocked. Hikaru nudged him with a sly smirk on her mouth. Then she continued spinning like she didn't hear what he said. Kyoya suddenly stopped her by her arm, making her look questioningly. He stared fixedly in her eyes for some moments.
Madoka walked towards them in that moment. Kyoya changed his gaze to Madoka. Hikaru sweat dropped, but Madoka stepped on her foot. Not accidentally. It really annoyed Hikaru seeing she did it purposely. "Do you want something with me?" she asked on a loud, threatening and scaring voice. But our sweet Madoka didn't give it up. She threw her the same glare.
"If you want a partner to argue with, then find another else!" Madoka yelled to her. Hikaru sneered.
"I'll show you what respect means!" she argued with her, then brought her closer by her shirt. "I'm gonna beat your ass of picky, bimbo but still nerd girl if you don't shut up! And then you'll see how you're gonna run with tears in your eyes to your protective daddy after I'll empty out all the courage stored in you!" she threatened Madoka, who didn't get scared.
"Look who's talking! Don't you have shame? You have a boyfriend and you are kissing another boy's check! And maybe I am a nerd, but I am not a psycho!" Madoka shouted. Hikaru growled to her.
"Do not talk if you don't know the truth... You never saw me kissing him... And, yeah, look who have talked... Maybe I am friendly kissing Kyoya's check, but I don't accept being or maybe sleeping, and when I'm saying sleeping, I'm not meaning it... with him in a jiffy, just like you do with your sweet, but empty-headed Gingka who's nothing than a huge zero who grew at the countryside and has no education!" Hikaru yelled. Madoka got really angry with that.
"Whaaat did you say...? Just repeat it one more time... If you have enough courage to repeat it... C'mon, repeat it!" Madoka yelled back at her.
"I'm gonna repeat it every time I'll want! But let's end this... I challenge you to a fight! And let's see if you'll be so brave afterwards..."
