*UNEDITED*1 hour later
A certain maroon haired man struggled to break free due to his wife"s surprise attack. The girl backed him against the wall, the moment they were alone. An hour already went by since then.
"Lila...hey stop now.."
"Marking hubby. ..."
"Ssh, we will be fine. Okay?" Haruka brushed his fingers gently across sthe girls eyes. "Don"t cry my wife, we will be fine."
"Hubby, please don"t leave me alone."
It pained him hearing her tone. Should he not go after all? Haruka didn"t think she would react this way.
"Lila, it"s only for a week. Two weeks at max, I"ll video call you everyday. Don"t worry."
"But, I won"t get to touch you."
Haruka chuckles, she"s so cute. "We won"t be leaving until two days from now. Touch me all you want until then."
"Why did you bring my stuff over then?"
"Mmm, just peeping "
"Okay," Lila quickly got of him. "I invited the others for the party. But, what brought this on so suddenly? I thought we would have a party among ourselves."
"I didn"t want Kiryu feeling awkward," Haruka brushed his hands against her hair. "You understand right?"
Lila nodded, "I understand."
Haruka pulled her into his arms again. "On second thoughts wife, let"s get intimate."
Soft laughter escaped her lips, "Don"t be silly hubby, were not at home."
Right, they are at Kiryu"s house. He shouldn"t go over the top. Still, "This is a nice room, did you stay here before?"
Lila pulled a face, "Well, it was prepared for me. But I only went here whenever me and Kiryu fought..."
"I see.."
"Jealous?"
"Jealous," Haruka repeated. "But, it"s not like I don"t understand. I missed out on a lot of events in your life. No matter what I do, I can"t take that back now," he gently kissed her lips. "I can"t return to the past, but we have a future together don"t we?"
"That"s right," the girl in his arms beamed happily. "Is it okay if we cuddle?"
"Yeah, it"s cuddling time with my wife."

Kiryu quickly walked down the hallway. He was worried that the two would get into a fight about the leaving thing. But, it seemed like there was no need to worry. Kiryu is glad Haruka stopped Lila, that was awkward for him to watch. Lila was never that bold with him before. He ran his hands through his silver locks. He ought to get a grip. It"s already the new year and yet he"s still hasn"t gotten over Lila yet. Kiryu knew it wouldn"t be easy, but he decided back then. No matter what happens, he can"t take Lila back anymore.
...
A new year party.
"Don"t make sudden decisions like that by yourself." But well Kiryu isn"t against it completely. Or rather since Lila suggested it, of course he will naturally approve of it.
Kiryu held up the ribbon decorations in his hands.
"Ah I was just looking for that. Thank you. "
He nodded and said "welcome." Currently he was helping the others put up remaining decorations for the party in two hours. Usually something like this would be troublesome for him. However since Lila asked him, he didn"t decline. What"s more, his gaze flickered towards Ayase Kotori.
"You know in the past, I really didn"t like it. Even though I was always surrounded by people then. It always felt as though my world was silent that there was no sound at all. Peoples voices seemed to drown away leaving nothing but silence. However after I met her that changed, I"m grateful to Lila. But equally as much I"m grateful to the school. It"s because I went there that I got to meet so many people, because I was in that place and was confronted with all sorts of situations. I could finally destroy the silence completely.
As the only born child in my household I was entrusted with the role of the heir and before I knew it peoples voices became silence to me. Those peoples smiles and words are empty, as a young child I was able to recognise that. Thats why I closed of my heart when I was very young. But after I met Lila, I was immediately met with not only light but beautiful sounds. "
He doesn"t know why. But after hearing her past and hearing how similar they were with each other. Kiryu gradually got close to her. Ayase hasn"t said a word about Rosalia and him too. He is very greatful to her.
"Hamano-san! If you came here to help, don"t just slouch on the sofa," Maaya exclaimed.
"I am helping. Please move that banner to the right more, yeah more towards the center point. "
No, your just giving out instructions. But he supposed that"s helping in it"s own way, since they wouldn"t know where to place everything. Maaya sighs deeply, "When Kasumi is not here no one can control you huh? "
"Speaking of which, where is Kasumi?" Rinna brought up.
"Yori and her are going to be late, they said they were picking up Akari from the hospital."
"So, where"s the main couple?" Eijiro said.
"They went out to buy something," Kiryu spoke up. "They left quite some time ago though," his gaze fell towards the clock on the wall. Maybe he should go after them? No, he might see something strange again. He should stay put here.
His thoughts broke off when he felt a cold drink brush against his cheeks. "Ayase."
"You need to rest if your tired."
Kiryu laughed, "Well, I guess you found out."
"My parents saw you the other day, they were complimenting you non stop."
"Ah," Kiryu recalled a couple who looked strangely familiar. "You resemble them a lot, so your family..."
"Were not exactly rich, but we do attend a lot of gatherings because of my fathers business. I stayed home since I had to practice."
"Mmm, your doing very well. Your actually a favourite to win."
Kotori shook her head, "I know I"ll lose next round. I mean, soon they will narrow it down to the best eight. I"m not confident enough," she glanced over at the blonde haired girl who just entered with Hamano. "If, there"s someone who can surpa.s.s my place then...I"d rather it would be her."
Kanehera Yumeko, huh?
Indeed Kiryu thought there was something special about the girl"s performances too. Still, he doesn"t pay much attention to anyone who isn"t Lila. His thoughts broke off when he hears the sound of his phone.
(From: Teras.h.i.+ma Lila
Uh, so I think...we will be a bit late. Please tell Kotori-chan to finish the cooking..)
Kiryu raised his eyebrows. Well, this isn"t surprising. Considering how Haruka acted earlier. Still... Kiryu quickly replied.
(From: Austin Kiryu
You"ll catch a cold if you do it outside.
No sooner did he hit reply did Lila call him.
"We--were not doing anything! It"s just it suddenly started snowing, and I"m not wearing the right shoes so ..."
"You reacted too quickly. Besides, I understand him. Attacking you regardless of time and place happens since your cute."
"Stupid! You can"t say those things so easily."
"Why can"t I?"
Kiryu knew Lila had no comeback for that, "Hurry back Lila, and thank you."
He thought he would be alone this new year. But now it has become filled with life.
"En, I"m glad," Lila said.
Sensing her tone, Kiryu immediately understood. She really is a fool, but she cares so much about him. "I"d be happier if you came back sooner. I want to be with you right now."
Awkward laughter escaped Lila"s lips, "You"re so honest Kiryu. En, I get it, then I will see you later."
