Hikaru
"Dammit," I cursed in Japanese. "Dammit." I tossed the red rubber ball roughly to Hana-chan who caught it in midair. "This is so embarrassing!" I shouted to the sky in Japanese. Hana-chan gave me back the ball and at that time, the back door opened. I turned to see Ludwig silently closing the door.
"Hi, Hikaru," Ludwig said.
"Oh, it's you," I muttered. I brushed my hair behind my ears. "Hi, Ludwig."
Ludwig bent down and patted Hana-chan on her head when she went over to him. "What's her name?" he asked, looking up at me with his blue eyes glistening at me.
"Hana-chan," I said, turning away to hide my blush. "She's an Akita dog." Why is he so…? I thought, unable to complete the question.
"I have three dogs at home."
I glanced at him. "Really? I didn't think you…were the type to have…dogs." God, I'm an idiot, I thought.
"If you'd like, I can take you over to my house and show them to you," Ludwig suggested. "Or we can go on a walk sometime…with our dogs."
"That'd be fi—" I stopped short, realizing what he just said and felt my face burn crimson. "That'd be fine." I took a peek at Ludwig from the corner of my eyes and saw that he was also blushing.
"So you like dogs?"
"Yeah, they're so cute and irresistible, like cats. But I'm more of a dog person." I tossed the ball to Hana-chan and she ran to get it.
Ludwig appeared at my side. "Me, too," he said, smiling.
Hana-chan ran back towards us with the ball in her mouth. Unexpectedly, she jumped on us, her weight bringing me and Ludwig to the ground.
"Hana-chan," I cried. "What are you doing?"
"Ack, she's licking me!" Ludwig shouted.
"Off, Hana-chan!" I pushed my dog away from us, laughing as I saw Ludwig who was glistening with dog saliva.
He glared at me with a red face. "What are you laughing at?" he demanded.
"You look funny," I said, sitting up. Hana-chan came up to me and I patted her head.
Ludwig sat up with me. "You have grass in your hair," he said. He reached over my head and pulled a blade of grass out of my hair.
At the same time, I reached my hand up to my hair and touched his hand. Instantly, I pulled away and stood, dusting myself off. "I think your brother is calling you," I said, seeing Gilbert waving at us.
Ludwig nodded. "I better get going then," he said. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye." I watched as Ludwig went to his brother, who said something to him. The two left the house, saying goodbye to Auntie and Ryuto. Then, I slumped to the ground and buried my face in my lap to hide my blushing face.
A Note from your Author:
So in this chapter, it's a little fluffy. I haven't written a lot of fluff since...forever so I just broke it out right now. As my friend suggested, I'm going to do a little surprise point of view from...guess who or find out later! *laughs* φ(^∇^ )
