July 31st (London, Amus.e.m.e.nt Park)The sight was dazzling. Multi-colored lights covered the trees and music played through the speakers. There were an a.s.sortment of rides and a couple of games one could win prizes. She had never been so excited, and she looked around not knowing what to ride first.
"Uwaah! It"s pretty." Lila stuttered, she was completely amazed at the site she saw. Lila looked back at Haruka, who nodded at the security guard. Though she rented the park out for them, they weren"t completely alone. Is he surprised?
"When did you plan this?"
"Ah?"
"Well, I"ve been thinking about it all day, and a half of this stuff is not possible unless you prepared months in advance…"
Lila"s cheeks turned rosy red. Lila is relieved it was night; otherwise he would notice her flushed cheeks. If he"s figured that much out, why doesn"t he get the hint? Since the outing, they had back in the new year, back in her hometown. Lila planned this. Well, things like the boat ride, she only added in at the last minute. But this amus.e.m.e.nt park trip was one of the first things Lila set up. They made that promise, and she truly wanted to keep it.
......
She was about to object when the ride slowed to a stop. She let Haruka go and hopped off as he swiftly joined her.
Lila wanted to ask more details regarding what he just said to her. But Haruka took her hand and took her to another ride. Seeing the haunted house though, Lila hid behind Haruka, and he laughed, "You"re scared?"
She nodded.
"Then, let"s go there next."
Is he serious?!
However, Lila didn"t have time to say those words as he dragged her inside.
...…..
Once inside, Lila desperately clung to him. Every little thing that appeared in the corner, every sound made her jump. It wasn"t the darkness of the place that scared her either. She is a hanyou why does she have to be afraid of the dark?
Haruka the whole time seemed amused, "I didn"t think you"d be afraid of ghosts."
Lila wanted to hit him for teasing her, however, if she let go. Then she would be more afraid.
"Wahhh, wahh."
Haruka laughed, "Don"t cry; it"s not scary."
It"s not? Lila looked up when something popped out of the ceiling. She buried her face back into Haruka arms, and she felt him hold her tightly. Oh.
"I brought you inside to tease you a little. But it seems like I went a bit overboard."
Sensing his apologetic tone, she looked up and kissed his cheek softly, "Protect me to the end okay?"
"I wonder if I can."
…...
Those five words haunted her even after they left the haunted house and went on other rides together. Lila wanted to ask what he meant. Just now, why did he have that distant look on his face? She is troubled about it to the point that Haruka noticed. But Haruka didn"t ask, instead; he brought her hands to his lips and kissed them slowly. This action of his caused her mind to be jumbled up, what is he doing? It"s embarra.s.sing.
"Haru--"he cuts her off as he gently kissed her lips. "Nghhmm…"
Harukas words and his actions, everything regarding Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka has become so very dear to her. That"s why she understood. Haruka doesn"t want to talk about it, and so Lila blocked it from her mind and continued to have fun. It"s okay like this. Haruka will tell her in due time; he won"t hide it forever. Relations.h.i.+ps are based on mutual trust. While things are progressing rather slowly on that department. Lila didn"t mind; it"s okay like this. Haruka grabbed hold of her hand, and her gaze softened.
She hadn"t been this happy in such a long time.
After a short while, though she rode most of the rides alone, the midnight blue hair boy had to take a phone call. As she watched him from the merry-go-round, she can"t help but think. He really must be busy, huh? Lila felt his gaze on her, and she quickly looked away. Why is he staring at her? Or rather, there must be something wrong with her. She was feeling this embarra.s.sed, just him looking at her. Then again, this isn"t the first time since she dated Haruka. Not even long before this. She likes him, huh? It"s strange; she thought she wouldn"t want anyone other than Kiryu. Not even senpai could change that. But Haruka managed it.
Once she got off the ride, she lets out a relaxed sigh. "Ah, it helps to relieve daily stress."
"So nice, kids have it easy," Haruka commented.
Lilas cheeks colored at his words, oh no. She was enjoying herself too much when this is his birthday. "Haruka, why aren"t you riding anymore?" Lila asked.
"Well I got tired, how about you?" Sensing his concern, Lila paused. Her gaze softened, and she grabbed hold of his arm.
"I"m not, so let"s ride together okay? It"s boring alone, and I want to ride with you."
Haruka nodded, "All right, what do you want to ride?"
"Errr…." They"ve already pretty much-ridden everything. The last few rides she rode by herself. Ah, that"s it.
"The teacups."
She felt lonely when she was riding it earlier; it"s no fun riding that by yourself after all. Seeing Haruka frown, Lila shyly tugged on his s.h.i.+rt, "I want to be close with you."
...….
Teacups.
As one would expect with Harukas frame, he stuck out. The same went for her more or less it was more notable with him. Instead, a grown man riding teacups. "It doesn"t suit you!"
Haruka sighed, "So you tricked me?"
Lila laughed and shook her head. She wanted to get close with him.
