After finis.h.i.+ng the meal, it didn"t take long before Haruka decided that they should finish for the night and rest. The whole time they were making their way to the cottage, Lila felt her heartbeat increase. Her palms turn sweaty; she wondered if Haruka could hear it......
-Cottage-
The moment they got inside, Haruka pushed her against the wall and had his hands all over her.
Lila wanted to tell him that by doing this, he will ruin everything that happened between them earlier. She wanted to say to him that she wants to spend a night in his arms, without them having s.e.x. But, looking into his eyes like this. Lila knew she couldn"t refuse him. No, she knew she didn"t want to, "Haruka, I still think you"re an idiot."
Haruka laughed as he tore her clothes off, "Is that why you"re doing this with me? Because I"m a fool?"
"It"s because I love you," she murmured. Since that time, Lila decided that she would say these words more often.
Haruka"s lips curve to a smile, "Dearest, you keep confessing to me today. You know what that does to me?"
"What?"
"It makes me fall for you all over again," he murmured against her ear, "Makes me desire you all over again."
"Dummy, you always desire me."
"Heh," Lila doesn"t have time to say anything when she felt Haruka lift her off her feet, "Better take you to the bed, don"t want you getting hurt."
For a split moment, Lila thought he was being considerate until she heard the last half of his sentence. She hits him, "Dummy, put me down! What are you going to do to me?"
"What do you think, dearest? You"re already half naked."
She knows they are going to do it, but why does he make it sound like she"s going to get injured? Haruka continued to laugh, and she puffed her cheeks into a pout, "You have to be gentle with me, I"m fragile."
"You"re suddenly fragile?"
"I"m not joking!" He can"t be serious. Doesn"t he recall how she spent the majority of the day sick at Miu"s place? Then again, this is Haruka she is talking about. He"s most likely forgotten the earlier events because right now he"s focusing on the present.
"Relax Lila; you"re getting too worked up."
"I"m just nervous," she buried her face in his neck, "Haruka, I love you. I love you, that"s why," she wants their relations.h.i.+p to change for the better. While Lila couldn"t care less about the rumors, she doesn"t want people to think badly about Haruka like that. They indeed have a lot of s.e.x, but is that such an issue? People comment that Haruka only wants her for her body and fame. It gives him a bad reputation, "He already has one, but she doesn"t want to damage it any further," Lila thought. She wants people to be happy for her and Haruka.
While there were many people against her and Kiryu, eventually they warmed up to the idea and supported them. It didn"t take long before they got everybody"s acceptance. So, why is it that even now these rumors are still around, even though she"s been dating Haruka since July? It"s already October; she looked up. In the darkness of the staircase, Lila could see Haruka"s eyes. She reached over and gently kissed them.
"I"m not afraid of you, you can do what you want and be silly, but remember - I"m different from those other women. Don"t treat me like you do them."
"I understand, I"ll show you sides of me I won"t show anybody else. It"s reserved only for you."
Before Lila could say a word, they reach the bedroom. Haruka took his time walking across to the bed, and Lila knew he was teasing her on purpose. If he"s going to hold her, why doesn"t he just do it? Maybe he is trying to make this unique for her. That makes her happy. Haruka gently placed her down and murmured against her ear some words she couldn"t quite catch.
"Haruka? What is it?"
"I"m starting to think I"m the one hallucinating."
"Ah?" she looked at him puzzled.
"Seriously, you"re too beautiful,"
He keeps complimenting her while touching her too. Haruka"s hands had made its way onto her legs and stomach, "Um, are we going to talk seriously or do it?"
"We can do both right?"
Can they? They usually don"t though, with the two of them talking when they have s.e.x is very difficult. But that"s simply because they get too caught up in the moment. Lila peered at him, curiously, "Weren"t you going to hurt me?"
Laughter pa.s.sed Haruka"s lips, "You aren"t going to give up on that are you?"
Lila shook her head, "I"m curious," just now at the staircase, he seemed very sure of himself. With that mere sentence alone, it left her wondering what he would do to her.
"You won"t show me?"
Haruka buried his face in her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, "Well, I could. But like I said, let"s make things different and special tonight."
"So things will continue to be weird?" Lila clarified as she ran her hand through his maroon colored locks. Haruka"s hair color isn"t like Kiryu"s, it"s not her unique and pretty silver, and yet it belongs to her and her alone. This man is genuinely trying to change for her sake, even though it"s difficult, "So, are you going to be the only one enjoying yourself?"
"Mmmm," Haruka murmured, "Let me have my fun first, your so warm, so soft and comfortable."
"He looks pleased," Lila thought. This whole evening he"s been delighted, and yet Lila still felt uneasy. It"s stupid, but she has this bad feeling that something will go wrong soon. How could things go awry when things are so perfect now? Lila shook her head; she shouldn"t think such negative thoughts. But, now that Lila thought about it. Ever since she started dating Haruka, those voices she frequently hears have vanished. Those voices that mock her for being weak, the darkness that is trying to take over her. It"s weird, why hasn"t she heard it since then?
Lila looked at Haruka; perhaps he did something? When she first started her journey, she still heard it. But at some point, she stopped hearing those voices. What is he thinking right now? Can she really tell now without having to drink his blood?
"About Aizawa Mei-san, will you deal with the matter properly?"
"Weren"t you going to handle her?"
"I want to, trust you on this matter," she murmured. Lila didn"t want to leave Haruka alone with that woman anymore. A woman who claimed to be her fan as Kiku Ari, but dislike Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. A true fan would have realized how similar Ari and Lila were, and yet Aizawa Mei certainly seems dedicated to her.
"No," Haruka replied.
Ehh? No? Is he going to turn down her request? Or maybe he doesn"t trust himself to deal with this case with nothing happening between him and that girl? Lila looked at him suspiciously, but Haruka simply smiled.
"Let"s handle this matter together, okay?"
Together... Uwaaah! Her eyes lit up at his words, "Okay! We can be savage together."
Haruka"s sweat fell, "Savage, wait to ruin the moment."
"But Haruka, are we not going to crash and burn her?"
"Well, let"s just say we need to ensure that those peoples plans don"t work. So in a sense, we will have to drag her down too. She"s a normal girl though, so as much as possible I want to evade directly hurting her."
Lila pouted, "You seem to care a lot about her."
"Don"t be jealous; I don"t care for her. But, I"m not the type of person who would harm another person, just to get what I want, right?"
She immediately understood what he meant, "Those are the words she told him," Lila thought. Still, "Haruka, these days you seem a bit strange and worn out," Lila murmured, "Is it because of Rosalichan?"
"Well, in a sense. But mainly to do with the compet.i.tion, and the idol a.s.sociation board," Haruka explained. Despite the vague explanation, Lila knew what he was getting at. He"s working too hard for her sake again, "I"m sorry for worrying you."
"I"m not used to you apologizing," she trailed off, "Do you need my blood? Maybe it"ll fix your head."
Haruka chuckled, "I"m okay."
Is he? Maybe she should examine his wounds and see if he"s okay or not? As Lila thought that, she felt him lift his face from her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, "You know, I had a strange dream recently."
"A dream?" she trailed off when something came to mind. "Ah me too," while she"s always thinking of Haruka twenty-four seven. This was the first time he appeared in her dreams. It felt quite strange to her, "I dreamt of you holding me in your arms while were in formal wear."
"I dreamt of me doing you naked in the middle of the forest."
Lila hits his chest, and her cheeks puffed into a pout, "That"s what your motive was earlier? Was the meteor shower just a coincidence?"
Haruka"s lips curve to a smile, "It was just a coincidence. I"ve had this planned long before I had the dream."
"Ah-huh," Lila looked at him doubtfully, but Haruka suddenly lingered on top of her. The way he was looking at her like he was about to devour his prey made her feel incredibly nervous. Is the talking part finally over?
"So, I wonder what to do."
Lila blushed, "I thought you were going to hurt me," she trailed off. Is he purposely teasing her? He"s doing an excellent job at it. Just looking into his eyes was making her feel incredibly nervous, and she felt herself panic. Maybe she should ask to take a shower? They did make out in the forest earlier, on the gra.s.s - didn"t she get dirty?
"I think I have an idea," he murmured against her ear.
That was fast! But, she supposes it"s expected of him. What is he going to do? Just as Lila thought that she felt the remaining fabric leave her body. He discarded her skirt, and she felt cold air sink into her body. She was always very sensitive to the cold. Does he know that? More importantly, will she let him know other things? The answer is yes, right?
As he did this, Haruka craned his neck to look up, "You okay?"
"Um, I"m a bit cold."
"Yeah, it is pretty chilly here," Haruka smiled, "But, don"t worry, you"ll get warm soon."
Lila was about to ask him how when his lips came cras.h.i.+ng on hers.
