"Hurry up Rin! Get in! The doors are going to close!" I yelled out to him.
"I'm coming!" Running as fast as he can. The doors started to close and Rin jumps. I pulled out my hand, He grabbed it and I pulled him in as much as I can. He fell directly on top of me. His left arm lay next to my head and the other near my waist. One of his knees is between my legs to support his own weight so he won't squish me. Both of us stayed in this position for a minute while we catch our breaths.
"We made it Izumo…" Rin has an exhausted look on his face when he tries to catch his breath.
"Luckily we manage to get inside the train." Yes lucky. This trip to the beach is becoming a hassle. I looked at his face. Rin you're amazing sometimes and you never stop surprising me. Even though he was late in meeting me at the academy we were still good in time. What slowed us down were those random incidents… They both partly annoyed me because of the time was taken but they were for good causes. First one was some guy stole a girl's bag and Rin chase the guy down. Feel kinda sorry for the guy though in a way because Rin looked terrifying when he was chasing the thief with a killing intent and once caught he looked as if he wouldn't dare steal again. Second one was an old woman who sprained her back and Rin carried her to the hospital which the hospital was pretty far. The old women thanked us for the help, she wanted to repay us but we had to interrupt her once we saw we were going to be late.
Continuing to analyzing his face I don't get why he is still in the friend zone with Shiemi. Even though Rin can be clueless sometimes and is an idiot. Rin has a great personality and a good morality in life. As a plush his looks are not that bad. He needs to get a backbone… Or probably the problem lies with Shiemi. She's infatuated with Yukio and can be a bit clueless with people feelings(Rin).
Getting out of my thought process I looked arouns and noticed other people staring at us. I looked back at Rin…Hold up, why are we still in this position! My face warmed up. "Um Rin.." I try to speak up enough for him to clearly hear me.
Rin looked at me with a questionable looked at my face. "Whoa Izumo your all red" I can tell, so I cover my face with one arm.
With much courage I can, I cleared my throat and said in a serious tone. "Rin, how long are you going to stay on top of me... People are staring." I can tell people are starting to murmur. This is so embarrassing!
Rin finally figured out the situation and blushed very bad. He quickly got off of me, as he stood up he reach out his hand to pick me up. Rin looked away from me and had his other hand scratching his head. "Sorry Izumo, I didn't notice sooner." I grabbed his hand and I can tell he is still pink. Once I got up to my feet and told him "It's ok, I should've told you sooner"
Trying to change the subject, "Lets go find some seats."
Rin nodded in agreement. He still looked away from me, "There is a seat over there Izumo." Rin pointed to one available seat. "You can have the seat; I don't mind standing at all."
"Are you sure Rin? Cause I think you deserved the seat with what you have gone through today." He really did deserve the seat.
"I'm good and plus my dad taught me proper manners to treat women." Rin looked towards me with a grin on his face. I knew I couldn't convince him otherwise. Trying to get back to my usual self "Hmp, Ok Mr. Show-off it's your lost in a seat." I walk straight and sat down, covering my face a bit as I stare at the scenery.
Rin leaned on a pole that was next to my seat. "Izumo, how it's going to take a while to get to the beach you can sleep right now and I'll wake you up once we are close."
I looked at him intently. "Idiot" I said blankly. "I'm not going to sleep and trust you to remember which stop we have to get off. Also I think you might fall asleep and we will miss the stop. I'm going to stay awake with you until we get there." This guy needs to worry about himself sometimes. I can tell he wants to take a nap. "You can sleep while I keep watch and I won't take no for an answer." I said seriously and stood my ground.
Rin looked at me defeated and sighed. Then he started to laugh a bit "Haha Izumo, sometimes I can't defeat you." He smiled a bit. "How you insist I'll take a nap and you better not fall asleep too."
"Whatever, just go to sleep." I said to shut him up a bit. Rin closed his eyes and his head starts to droop down.
He finally went to sleep. Hhmm... Looking at my phone the time is close to 12 and once we get there it will be close to 1 so we got plenty of time to play at the beach and get that mango desert. I took a deep breath and blew the air out "This ride is going to take a while." I looked at the sleeping Rin and then I look out the window to see the scenery.
"Rin, how did we become friends in the first place?" Looking back a bit I remember seeing Rin's lonely expression on the train when we were heading toward Kyoto. The look he gave reminded me how I was growing up. An outsider…and someone people who don't understand fear. But Rin's situation differs from mines because it was people he considers friends who suddenly feared and kept their distance from him.
I don't know why I even interfered at all but the other Exwires to suddenly leave Rin shocked me a bit. Just observing them and hear their stupid claims of killing Satan and to be friends got to me. If you have someone precious shouldn't you no matter what want to protect them. They annoyed me especially when they expect me to distance myself from Rin out of fear like them. Even though he went berserk, in the end Rin comes back to his idiot self so there is nothing to be scarred about that clueless twit.
It doesn't matter about the bloodline of being a demon but it can be bothersome to some. I look at my hand and to my wrist looking at my partly visible veins. Even I despise my bloodline, my fate is sealed not matter what I do. I looked at the sleeping boy and hope for his sake he can overcome what Satan has planned for him.
I wanted to show him that there is someone who is not scarred of him. It's kinda like what Paku done for me by becoming the first person to really not be scarred of me and eventually becoming my first friend. The chance to make difference for Rin probably was in my mind. I honestly didn't care if I would be hated even more by the Exwires.
The other Exwires were cowards but after some time they got over themselves and are able to become friends again. At first I thought I wouldn't talk to Rin intimately ever again but during some time Rin manages to ask me for some favors and invited me to hang out. Most of the time I refused but it's hard to refuse every last one so I agreed to tag along a couple of times with now it's common for us to hang out. I think we slowly became friends after hanging out so much.
I'm somewhat happy to be friends with Rin but I know this friendship is not going to last…Starring at the trees and distant mountains. I wonder how everything is going at home…
