More people who cared for Haruka.But using what means? Lila was afraid. She didn"t want to know the answer to that. Her thoughts broke off when Haruka suddenly picked her up, "Haruka?"
"Sleep for a bit."
"Haruka, too," Lila muttered. She didn"t know why, but she felt afraid.
Haruka"s lips curve to a smile, "Indeed, I shall do just that."
...
When Lila woke up, her head was resting on top of Haruka"s chest, while she remained on top of him. Her cheeks flushed, realizing how this position required her moving forward to stand up. If she moves then — Lila shook her head, don"t act like a fl.u.s.tered little girl anymore. How many times has she and Haruka been like this already? She already told him she would be with him forever. She already accepted his proposal. Her thoughts fell when she felt his gentle hands run through her hair, "I"m sorry I woke you,"
"Mm, it"s fine. Are you hungry? Should we eat something?" Haruka asked.
Lila shook her head, "Your still sleepy, go to sleep Haruka."
His lips are on her neck, and Lila flushed red when she felt him bite her. This must be his way of saying that he won"t go back to sleep since she is awake. Lila still found it odd at times that she was sharing her blood with anybody else but Kiryu. In the past, she would not have even thought to do something like this.
"Stop thinking of him."
She rolled her eyes, "It"s a pa.s.sing thought,"
"Not when I"m drinking," and he"s biting her harsher than ever.
Lila remembered how before they started to date Haruka would often take her blood because that was the only form of intimacy she allowed. Later on, Lila noticed that he stopped doing so. But she found that strange. If Haruka"s feelings are as strong as they are then once he drank her blood even one time, he won"t be able to drink anybody else"s. That"s why she found it odd. Later on, Jae-hee explained to her how Haruka was using tablets to suppress his blood l.u.s.t. When she heard that Lila was horrified, she knew how bad those things tasted.
"You don"t mind becoming my blood bank, eh?" Haruka muttered against her neck, "But if I suck you dry, we will have problems."
"Suck her dry," he"s already done that on more than one occasion already. She didn"t want to be on the receiving end of his anger anymore, knowing full well what would happen.
..
When Haruka finally got his "fill" of her or so he liked to phrase, he called for room service. She crouched on the floor as Haruka sat on the couch and she watched him play on the guitar. He really is good. He isn"t as talented as Kiryu, but then again, Kiryu is a genius. There is no use in comparing them. Haruka"s style is very different, it"s hard to put in words, but if she were to use a word to describe it, she would say, "mesmerizing." One is easily captivated the moment he starts playing; skills are only a sideline thing.
"Why do you keep staring? I know I"m not as good as him, but I thought a little music would do you some good since you"re still pale."
"Haruka, you have to stop being negative. I was only staring at you because I wanted to have a good look at your face. I mean you"re really handsome, why wouldn"t I look?"
Though the main reason Lila was staring due to being curious about his music abilities. She could tell him that later and Lila really was examining how handsome he is.
Haruka stared at her, dumbfounded, "Since when did you become bold enough to say words like that?"
Bold? Lila looked at him, confused, but he didn"t give her an answer.
"So Haruka," Lila started.
"Hmm?"
"Why aren"t you teaching me how to play like that?"
"Come up here," Haruka said.
Her eyes lit up, "Okay!"
Lila sat down comfortably on his lap again, and Haruka sighed, "You know this is really difficult for me."
"How else can I learn?"
This is the easiest way. Still as "bold" as she was being. Lila did feel nervous. Being in close contact with Haruka made her fully aware of things she didn"t notice before, "You want to learn to play like me?"
"Yes."
She likes it when he teaches her things regarding music. Though he"s normally so blunt and cold whenever they are in public, he is a stern teacher even in private. But even if he scolds her, Lila is rea.s.sured by the warm feeling of his lips on her neck.
"Say Haruka, why don"t you teach me more things?"
"Well, I didn"t want the others to think you were getting special lessons," Haruka explained.
Special lessons, for some reason that sounded wrong to her.
"What are you thinking about, dear? Special lessons are special lessons."
The more Haruka repeated it, the lewder it sounded in her ears. Sure enough, it didn"t take her long before her face beat red. Haruka noticed, and he placed light kiss marks across her neck, "Dearest Lila, what are you thinking of?"
"I"m thinking how to do this next part," Lila referred to the sheet music in front of her, "and how lewd this situation is," Lila thought but shook her head. He can"t know that.
Haruka"s gaze turned serious, "This part?"
Lila nodded.
"You have to do it like this, it"s a concealed low note, but it comes after consecutive high notes," Haruka explained.
He really does love music, that much she can see. So Lila wonders why he held himself back. At the start, Lila thought it was just her imagination, but as more time pa.s.sed Lila noticed it. He has an incredible talent for music, maybe a talent that far surpa.s.ses Kiryu"s and her own. However, he doesn"t believe in himself. From what Haruka told her before he lacks confidence in himself. That he would rather stay behind in the shadows because he doesn"t want people looking down on him and stuff.
