Apartment Complex H Street (London)Whenever Lila thought about the aura that surrounded her boyfriend Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka, her thoughts are divided. He has a kind of glow that attracts other people; this is proven when people flock to him. But at the same time, there is a dark side of him; the side people often spread rumors about. But the side Lila focused on was the one that affected himself, the him who is lost and confused about the world. The Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka who makes mistakes. However, even with all his flaws and secrets, Lila"s feelings for him only grew by the day.
His mysterious and dark side blends into one. His kisses, well it depends but usually they taste of cigarettes. She"s addicted to his taste, addicted to the feeling of his tongue wrapped around hers, his bare body pressed against hers and his hands inter winded with her own.
Lila didn"t realize that little things like this were so important before. These are the things she should have openly shared in her previous relations.h.i.+p. Lila wonders how she could bring it up with Haruka without getting embarra.s.sed. She wants to tell him these feelings.
"Lila."
Her thoughts broke off when she hears her name, being called seductively in her ear.
A panting mess, with the man named Karas.h.i.+ma on top of her. Haruka"s scent, his warmth, and everything about him now make her dizzy with happiness. She tried to think of the time Kiryu embraces her at least she wants to, but the memory has already become so vivid. It"s faded. Her thoughts, heart, and body all belong to the man named Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka now.
Two words escape her lips, "Not yet."
Only two words. Even though Lila has so much more, she wants to tell him. A chuckle pa.s.sed his lips, "We"ve been at this practically all day now, you"re not tired?"
"Not tired," Lila muttered. She lied. She knew if she said she was tired, then Haruka would stop. Lila didn"t want that; she wanted him to continue.
"Why don"t you do something for me?"
Despite his vague words, Lila understood by now, "I"m tired."
Haruka laughed, "Nice try, but you"re not getting away with this."
....
When Lila wakes up, it"s 5:00 am. She slept for a good few hours then, though the sun wasn"t up yet. Lila wanted to get some practice done. Lila tried to get up, but as she expected, it was difficult to move her body.
"Haruka?"
Lila shook him, though she didn"t want to disturb his peaceful slumber. She wanted to get up; maybe he could carry her to the piano? It didn"t take long before Haruka woke up when he saw her sat up and leaning on the railing. He pulled her back into his arms. Ah?
"Haruka, um, could you take me to the Piano?"
"Sleep."
"But practice," Lila insisted. She felt very uneasy the whole night, knowing that she didn"t touch the piano for a day.
A deep sigh pa.s.sed his lips, "The word rest is not in your dictionary, huh?"
Lila paused, Haruka sounded irritated, and she sees his point. She nodded, and his lips curve to a smile, "Do you want to chat? If you can"t sleep."
Her eyes lit up; they can talk?
"So, what did you think about yesterday?"
"Um?"
"Well, we did do it nearly the whole day. What"s your opinion on that?"
Lila flushed red at how seductively he said it. Isn"t there a different way to ask this? Then again, the topic itself is embarra.s.sing, so she supposes there is no way out of this.
...
"S—sorry," Lila apologized.
"I don"t mind."
Even if he doesn"t mind, it"s embarra.s.sing for her.
Lila watched as Haruka ran his hand through his hair, as he looked around for something.
"Um, I sorted out your clothes the other day. Everything is over there," Lila pointed.
"Him, that"s where it got to," Haruka said and made his way over to the chest of drawers. "Come over here, help me out,"
Lila shyly walked over, only to have Haruka lift her up until she sat on top of the drawers, "H--Haruka?"
His lips brushed against her neck, "Going to drink a bit."
Lila nodded. These days they are more open to it, drinking blood from each other.
"f.u.c.k, so sweet," Haruka cursed.
Lila wrapped her arms around him, her fingers pierced into his back as he aggressively continued to drink from her.
After a few minutes, Haruka wiped the blood away from his mouth and gently kissed her lips, "Thanks."
"You"re welcome..."
Why does she feel embarra.s.sed?
"Help me get changed," Haruka said.
Lila nodded, though she proceeded to leave the drawers - the moment she leaped down, she lost her balance. However, Haruka catches her, "My bad, I drank too much. You were too cute."
Okay, so that"s a good enough reason?
He chuckled, "Let me bring you back to the bed," Lila nodded, and Haruka carried her over.
The whole time, however, Lila struggled to avert her gaze. Haruka had yet to get changed, so his bare frame remained visible to her.
She wonders why she feels so embarra.s.sed about this, after everything that"s happened between them.
"Why are you so red?"
"Because I"m weird."
"Hmm, because of me?" he gloated.
Lila shyly nodded, she doesn"t want to look at him, but if she hides, that will spur Haruka on even more. Haruka brought his lips towards hers, and Lila felt her heart beat explode by the minute, "Indeed, you"re charming darling."
Cute?
....
Two hours later
After much debate, Haruka finally allowed her to go, and they both made their way to the training center. It was tough though to "rest" in the car. She wanted to relax a bit, knowing how harsh the training would be. Whenever she trained with Yori, the practice would always become intense. That"s why Lila always rested beforehand.
However, during the journey here, Haruka resumed with touching her. Lila blushed as she recalled the words he said in the car. That man truly has no shame at all. Realizing that he forgot his lunch box, Lila looked for him.
He wasn"t in the judge"s area, Itsuki-san said he went out back for a smoke break. But, Lila looked around, where is he? Just as she was about to surrender, she hears voices out back. Lila followed the source and found Haruka. But he wasn"t alone; a frail and timid girl stood opposite of him.
That"s the girl from before! What are they doing together?
"Sorry about what happened yesterday," Haruka apologized, "It was rude of me. Dare or not, but at the time, I couldn"t think straight."
Oh, he"s apologizing for the kiss. A relieved sigh pa.s.sed her lips.
.....
- Practice -
"Why did you leave? What if they do something?" Yori looked at her dumbfounded.
Lila stretched her arms, "But, Haruka already had his fill of me the other day and earlier," Lila nodded to herself. Even if it"s Haruka, he has his limits. He won"t do anything uncalled for.
"I"m amazed you can say that without being embarra.s.sed."
Lila"s cheeks turned red when she realized what she just blurted out, "Um---this is honesty!" Lila exclaimed. She"s just honest. Haruka and her have had a lot of s.e.x already, even if he is deprived most of the time and a s.e.x loving maniac. He gets tired. Lila saw how exhausted he looked earlier too.
"But the girl? What did you say her name was?"
"Mei."
"Ah? Aizawa, Mei!" Yori said.
"Aizawa?"
Yori pulled out her portable device from the side and tapped it, eventually.
Lila"s eyes widened, "Ah? That"s the girl!" she exclaimed.
Indeed, it was certainly the girl she saw Haruka kiss. She"s a partic.i.p.ant in the Dream Stars tournament too? That thought disturbed her. Haruka likes people with good singing - Lila always felt like part of the reason why Haruka fell for her was her voice. Though it"s a bit rude to think in that manner, she couldn"t help it.
"What a lovely voice."
Yori shook her head, "This is definitely a trap. Why was she coincidentally at the same party as Karas.h.i.+ma? Lila, you have to chase up on this matter."
Her sweat fell, "Don"t be stupid Yori, why would Haruka bother cheating on me with some random girl?"
"What about if it wasn"t a random girl?"
Sophia came to mind, but Lila shook her head, "On this department, I trust him."
That"s right; she has to trust Haruka. So many people already have a negative impression of him, so many don"t take him seriously. If she were to start doubting him, then she would not differ from all the others.
