Dream Star

At first, he was slightly uneasy. Though he put up a brave facade, he"s also nervous. He hasn"t held her in so long. He was a bit uncertain whether he ought to. But, when she personally edged him on. He couldn"t say no. Perhaps, for Lila, there"s something she wants to prove. His gaze fell on the girl below him, sweat coating their bodies. Only a few, minutes had gone past, and all he has been doing is kiss her but he noticed how Lila was desperately trying to hide her embarra.s.sment. She"s still embarra.s.sed? How many, times has he done this with her before?

Kiryu pulled away slightly, to get a better look at this cute action of hers. . . He stares at her for a few seconds, seconds that quickly turned to minutes. Lila upon realizing he stopped, looks at him with confused eyes... But that confusion stopped; when she leaned her face on to his hand, wearing a beaming smile on her face.

This idiot. What is she doing so suddenly? Touching him when he"s feeling like this. Really, he wasn"t expecting this at all. How is it possible for her to have matured this way appearance-wise, and still look so cute? Rather, with her elegant appearance and cute antics. Kiryu found a new attractiveness in her. This is bad. Discovering something like this when they"ll be separated again after tonight.

What"s more, she just had a bath so she smells really nice. Ahahhfhhfhffh. Kiryu recites pie in his head and exhaled deeply. He really needs to get a grip. What is he doing acting like this now? It"s not their first time. But, it"s been so long since he held her. It"s not like he"s forgotten. Everything she likes, he remembers clearly. But her body"s changed so much since he last saw her. What to do, he"s going to be tempted to try out new things.

"You know Kiryu. It"s been awhile."

Yeah. He knows that.

Otherwise, he wouldn"t be this worked up.

"So, I"m really, really nervous. Being separated from you made me realise how much I love you. So, um, my heart"s going to frenzy mode and my mind is a mess."

Kiryu doesn"t say anything and stares at her, he was rendered speechless.

. . . Why is she saying such cute things now? She"s making her situation worse. "Um, will Kiryu go faster now?"

". .You want me too?"

She shyly nodded.

It"s strange that they are even having this sort of talk. Since when did Lila ask such questions? For a split second Karas.h.i.+ma comes to mind but he shakes his head. He hasn"t done anything with Lila yet, that much he can tell. Forget Karas.h.i.+ma, right now he should focus on this cute girl in his arms.

.

No sooner had he finished Lila slumps her head on his chest. Still such a strange girl. He gently fixes a strand of loose hair away from her face and he wraps the blanket around her.

After catching her breathe, Lila spoke up, "My Kiryu."

"Hm?"

"We have to part again tomorrow. So, can we stay up all night and chat loads?"

. .. honestly, he"d love to. But, she"ll probably fall asleep soon. After all, she must be worn out after that job.

"Then, to keep my Lila awake. Shall I sing a song?"

The girl"s eyes light up and she wrapped the blanket around her with a beaming smile.

"En!!!! Ah, I know Kiryu! Let me write you a song."

"Huh? Now?"

Lila nodded.

"I feel like I can write something amazing. Ah, but, go over it again later okay? It"s your song Kiryu, so it has to be good."

He brushed his forehead against hers, "If it"s a song written by you, I don"t have to change anything."

"Then let"s write it together.."

.

When he is sure she is sleeping Kiryu slowly got up. He needed to smoke, and call Selia to make sure she is okay. But the moment he did, he feels her hands grab hold of his, preventing him from getting up. . . .Are you kidding him? Kiryu tried to move her hands away but they firmly inter winded with his and he quickly gives up. She"s too cute. He could probably get away if he wanted to, but she"ll probably start crying in her sleep. From holding her, he can tell. Nothings changed at all. If anything, her feelings for him have gotten stronger. That should rea.s.sure him, and yet, he can"t help but think something is wrong.

Kiryu pulled out a cigarette and pauses. Can"t smoke in front of her. Even if she is asleep. She"ll scold him the moment she sees the cigarette. Although, she used to say things like she likes the scent. Last month, she started reading those strange articles. Kiryu was about to put it away when he feels Lila bury her face on his side.

"I"m putting it away, "Kiryu rea.s.sured her, but seeing her frown still, he crushed the cigarette in his hands and gives her the packet.

Lila stared at it for a few minutes, before asking him, "Kiryu, it"s not good for you. Have you been smoking the whole time I was gone?"

He actually held out for quite a while.

"Just recently."

Kiryu lifts her head up and blinks. The girl"s cheeks were puffy. So cute. Really, she"s too precious.

___________________________________________________

Kiryu didn"t have to hold back.

But, he probably wanted to make this special for her. They already had a nice dinner and watched the stars too. Even though she spurred him on earlier, he didn"t take any action until the dinner and stargazing were over. They played games for a bit too. It"s like nothing changed at all. She supposed two weeks isn"t enough for people to change, and yet she feels different than before. She wondered why that was.

Is Kiryu really sleeping now? After they chatted for a bit, she noticed he was getting sleepy and made him lie back down.

Lila stared at him.

Even though she"s been with Haruka this whole time, she hasn"t forgotten Kiryu once. In fact, even though she knows it"s wrong, she finds herself comparing the two. There"s no distance. It"s been almost a month, and they have both met so many new people. Even then, there"s no distance between them. She really did think he would start liking that a.s.sistant of his. But, when she drank his blood earlier, there was no trace of such fondness. Kiryu stirred awake as she was extending her hand out.

"My Lila, just go to sleep. I know your not well."

But, she really wants to touch. It"s different than when she reached out towards Haruka earlier. It"s different, with Kiryu, she wants to feel his warmth. She wants to be one..with...Her cheeks reddened realizing what those words meant.

"K--Kiryu, I--I want to touch you!"

Kiryu chuckled, "Pfft, I was wondering why you were suddenly getting embarra.s.sed. Sure, go ahead."

She said she wants to touch. But uh, where does she? Seeing where Kiryu was pointing, she hides under the blanket.

"Lila, don"t hide from me now."

B--but, he"s uwaaah. Her hearts beating like crazy. She removes the blanket slightly but had her back turned from him. It"s difficult to face him right now, she"s still embarra.s.sed. Kiryu used that opportunity to hug her from behind.

"Well, I do get it. I"m nervous too, I haven"t seen you in so long." he murmured softly.

"L--liar, you"re not nervous."Lila stammered, there"s no way Kiryu is nervous...

"But I am, my heart is pounding loudly. Didn"t you hear it?"

The sound of that heavy heartbeat, wasn"t just hers? Just as she was about to say that she hears it, a thumping sound from her back. Oh..Kiryu"s heartbeat?

He"s nervous? She looks at him with wide eyes before asking, "Your nervous Kiryu?"

"Seems like it, when I"m around you, I"m always nervous."

Lila turns around and extends her hand out, without hesitation this time.

"My Kiryu, you seem tired." she moved her hands slowly to his hair and combed it with her hands.

Her hearts still beating a lot. But, they"ll be apart soon. So she should touch him as much as she wants. She should talk to him, about loads of things. About what the two of them are going to do now. About their relations.h.i.+p. She should ask him, are they still dating?

So soft...

Kiryu"s- her pretty silver.
