Eternal Melody

Chapter 550 - A Pair Of Idiots



"Y-Yuhi."

"Damn, you\'re really good at hiding."

From the looks of it he ran all over to find her.

"Y--your wounds." Sumire noticed small patches of red on his clothes..

"Hurt like hell, and probably reopened but at least I found you.\'

\'Oh I want to hug and kiss him so badly! But I must refrain.\'

Her thoughts broke off when she felt a familiar piece of fabric on her shoulders. Yuhi had placed his coat on her shoulders.

"I know it is wet already, but it\'s better than nothing."

It seems even when he is mad, he is still fussing and taking care of her. She really needs to stop taking advantage of his kindness. It will do neither of them any good. But for now, she wants to accept it.

She rested her face in his chest and he patted her hair and caressed her back.

"Are you still angry?"

"I wasn\'t."

"You don\'t sound very convincing since you ran away, and don\'t make up an excuse. I know how weak you are during rainy days. Normally you would stay and cuddle with me."

\'You would only stay during rainy days.\'

\'Those were the only days where it felt like I could get to know the real you.\'

Sano\'s words echoed in her mind. She wonders if she does the same thing with Yuhi. She doesn\'t understand it herself, but during these days she becomes more honest.

"I want to rest." Sumire mumbled.

"Then let\'s go home-" Sumire tugged on his clothes and shook her head. "Alright I understand."

After walking for a few minutes in the rain, they arrived at a nearby hotel. Due to her strange state she didn\'t react like normal and just followed him in. It was a proper hotel, but she still spotted many unusual couples in the lobby. Those two over there are probably having an affair, look how secretive they are acting. The ones in the counter beside them are regulars. The ones on the couch are a new couple.

She wonders how people saw Yuhi and her. \'I don\'t know how to classify our relationship sometimes. We are dating sometimes doesn\'t seem right to me.\' Yuhi turned back to her with the keys in his other hand and squeezed her hand.

He didn\'t say anything and yet she knew it was her cue to follow him. It surprised her how quickly they arrived at their room. Just a few minutes ago they were in the lobby but after following Yuhi for a few minutes they arrived in front of a grand looking door.

"Would you like to shower?"

"Uh I\'m good."

"Then I\'ll go first." Yuhi let\'s go of her hand. "Feel free to relax. I know you are tired."

\'Whose fault would that be?\' It surprised her how she even managed to get up. Yuhi-san has such amazing stamina. Sumire watched as he disappeared behind the doors to the bathroom. She walked over to the large no oversized bed and laid down.

She placed her arm over her eyes, and blocked the source of light. This is so silly, what are the two of them doing acting like a foolish couple for? But she is so tired, she doesn\'t want to return home. To come to a place like this though, Hino will lecture her again.

\'Right now I want to be closer to Yuhi.\'

To think one day she would have these thoughts. No the more accurate thing to say is, to think the day would come where she would break the lock on her heart.

\'I have always had these feelings for him, but up till now I put a limiter, a lock to conceal them.\'

Now that she has personally removed the lock, there is no escaping his love and care. Sumire tossed and turned on the bed. How many months have passed since she came to Tokyo? So much has happened but she doesn\'t regret anything.

She ran away once but it won\'t happen again.

\'I don\'t want him to make that type of face again. I want to see him smile.\'

Her thoughts break off when she hears approaching footsteps. It was Yuhi, he just finished showering. Even though he was thankfully wearing clothes, the water still clung to his shirt.

If she is to be completely honest. No matter how bold and brave she is around other people. She becomes really shy whenever anything intimate is mentioned. There are times when she is in her \'hanyou\' state where she loses control. But even those times have a limit.

Sumire immediately sat up thinking it would be too dangerous to remain laying down.

"If you don\'t want to, we don\'t have to. We only came here to get out of the rain."

"R-right."

"Shall we drink a little?"

"I don\'t need alcohol to talk."

Yuhi laughed. "Is that so?"

It was a bit difficult for her to just sit here and talk. The people next door were really \'having a good time.\' Why aren\'t these walls soundproof? Isn\'t it an invasion of privacy being able to hear this much?

Then again maybe she needs to stop being so self conscious. Her thoughts broke off when she realized how close Yuhi was.

"You\'re really nervous."

"Quiet dummy, it\'s unpleasant when you tease me so much."

"Tease huh? I don\'t even do anything and you end up with crazy ideas in your pretty head."

"T-!"

Yuhi kisses her deeply.

"I love you."

Whenever he tells her that he loves her, she always felt like crying why does this man care so much for her? Why does he treasure her to this extent?

Stuff like this is still unusual for her. She has no experience in it. The previous times she simply just went along with the flow. It is the same this time too except she is paying a bit more attention than usual.

She didn\'t know when he got his shirt off, nor when he pinned her down onto the bed. But when she finally processed what was happening in her head it was already like this.

His muscular chest, and the sweat clinging to his body.

"Don\'t laugh."

"But I\'m happy."

"T-time out Yuhi-san." Sumrie covered her face with her hands.

"Why? You\'re so pretty. Please stop hiding your face."

\'I feel happy too, but is it okay? Is it truly okay for her to accept all his kindness and love?\'

No, this is too much. She can\'t--

"Sumire." Yuhi gently caressed her face. "Ssh, I\'m here.

He always gives her a perfect answer. How is he able to do that? Then again he said something similar towards her. The two of them are a pair of idiots.
