Chapter Seven: Look Inside Your Heart

His blazing eyes pierced through the darkness to meet her gaze. She recognized those sky blue eyes. She recognized the soft touch of his hand as he ran along the length of her smooth leg. And she recognized his husky voice as he murmured her name, his lips close to hers.

She wanted to say something, to tell him to back off, to run away and never look back. But as he put one hand on her hip, something fluttered in her belly. She wanted it to go away. She didn't want to feel anything. With his other hand, he gently touched her cheek and ran his fingers through her ice-blue hair. Then, with both hands, he held her face so she couldn't turn away and leaned in to kiss her.

Without realizing it, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him as close to her as she could. She trembled, which only caused him to let out a faint, playful growl. Then, he pulled away from her and looked into her eyes.

"I wish you'd leave me alone," she said, narrowing her eyes and pushing him away. But she couldn't deny that his kiss left her breathless.

"Why? Don't you love me, Hikaru?" He whispered.

She found herself unable to answer the question. He pulled her closer so her face was buried in his chest, and he ran his fingers through her icy blue hair. She thought about that, wrapping her arms around him in a hug.

The answer was obvious.

"Oh, Kyoya," she murmured, her voice muffled as she spoke into his shirt. "Of course I still love you."

Hikaru sat bolt upright with a gasp. She had a terrible ache in her heart, so bad it almost made her feel sick. The dream reminded her of so many good times she and Kyoya had had together. She wanted to get that dream out of her head because, the truth was, she still loved Kyoya, no matter how hard she tried to force herself not to.

"You miss me don't you?" She reached up to gently touch his face, her violet eyes sad.
He blinked, his blue gaze soft and full of emotion. He tried to ignore the pain in his heart long enough for him to choke out a few words. "Well, I..." What could he say? Nothing would make him feel better about what he'd done.

So he pressed his lips against hers in a fierce kiss. She gasped in surprise but continued to move her mouth with his, her fingers tangling in his hair as she pressed him closer to her. He held her face with his hands, his chest pressed against hers, stumbling over her feet as he tried to get as close to her as he possibly could. He felt her smile as he pushed her back into a wall. Grabbing her jacket he began to slide it off...

She broke the kiss and pushed him back. Her eyes were wild with excitement, and she pointed an accusing finger at him. "I knew it! I knew you still loved me!"

Kyoya opened his eyes. He sat up, pushing the comfy sheets off his body and slipping out of bed. He padded slowly over to the window and looked out at the sky as the sun peeked over the horizon.

"I'm sorry Hikaru." He shook his head. "I...just can't think of you that way anymore."
