*UNEDITED*Rikka didn"t want to tell him this.
She didn"t want him to feel bad for her, but she can"t take it anymore. "I know you mean well. But meeting up with me everyday, checking on me, taking me home and bringing me to work. I can"t help but want more and want to get closer to you."
"So, your saying your tempted to attack me?"
"Yes," Rikka nodded. "I maybe a girl but I have my desires, and honestly having the guy I like spend this much time with me.. You can"t really expect nothing to happen right?"
Haruka drew her back, "So, what do you want from me?"
Rikka reached over and traced his lips with her fingers. "You think I"m different than those other girls. But, I want you."
If it were the past Haruka, he would have pounced on her already. She said something similar when they first dated and he did that. Rikka wondered if he remembered.
"I care a lot about Lila yes I do wish to spend the rest of my life with her. But your important to me. I meant it when I said I want you to come with me to explain everything properly."
"Haruka..."
"I keep spending time with you yes. But that"s because I thought this was the quickest way for you to get closure. If I treated you with the kindness I couldn"t show you before, I thought you could be at ease," Haruka trailed off. "I thought it would rea.s.sure you that I"m okay now, you don"t have to feel guilty over anything. But it seems like it had the opposite affect."
"That"s not it, I"m glad your happy now. Your life has changed, that"s what I wanted from you."
She felt so bad after she said those hurtful things. Sure Haruka isn"t strong like she imagined. But when Rikka calmed down, she realized she saw the signs from the very start. Even if he isn"t a strong guy who has his life together. Haruka did so much for her sake.
He sacrificed so much and what did she do?
At that comment Haruka extended his hand out and cupped her cheeks. "Yet you have regrets? I understand Rikka, because I felt the same for so long. But Lila helped me move on. That girl is amazing, she never gave up on me. Even when I was in a hopeless situation or whenever I released my stress out by acting intimate. Or those rumors," he shook his head. "Lila never gave up, she stuck by my side. She went through so much just to stay by me. I will never be able to repay the kindness and love she shows me. Even if I love and spoil her for the rest of this life, I can never repay her. Also she left the person who stayed by her side for so long to come to me. She decided I was worth it, all the trouble and all the pain. That"s why, I"m very sorry."
Rikka kept her head down, "I can"t change your mind at all?"
"I won"t stop you from trying if that"s what you want to do. But, don"t get disappointed if nothing changes."
"Alright," she mumbled. That"s all she could really say.
Haruka nodded and removed his hands from her cheeks. "Where"s your medication box? That wound on your face must hurt. Concealing it with makeup will have the opposite effect, it stings right?"
Rikka simply remain frozen as she watched him look around for a med kit. It"s impossible huh? She repeated Haruka"s words in her head and clenched her fist. She already knew didn"t she? But this is the first time Haruka said it directly. She had mixed feelings about all of this.
"Ah, so I was correct," a familiar sweet voice came from the door. Rikka glanced over and saw a woman with blonde hair.
"Teras.h.i.+ma Kyoko," Haruka mumbled.
Kyoko chuckled, "My dear sister should be coming soon. But, I found you first it seems," she scanned the room. "Nothing happened I presume?"
"Nothing, huh?" Rikka thought back to what she tried to do a few minutes ago. Would that count as something?
"Why are you here?" Haruka mumbled.
"Lilchan is very worried about you. So I decided I"d help out. Why don"t you sit down? Relax, I don"t bite," Kyoko said. She glanced over at her, "You should sit down too, you seem hurt."
Rikka looked at the woman awkwardly but did as she said. She never spoke to her before but Rikka frequently saw her around.
"Karas.h.i.+mkun, do you want to be with Lilchan forever?"
"Of course I do."
"Then please stop harming yourself like this. Please treasure yourself more. If something happened to you, I wouldn"t put it past my sister to kill herself."
"That"s not funny."
Kyoko sighed, "Your so helpless Karas.h.i.+mkun. So many girls are trying their hardest for you, the least you can do is pretend to care."
"So many girls?" Rikka repeated interested.
"Oh yes, he is very popular," she trailed off. "Did you know that Yumeko-chan tries very hard to subtly clear your reputation up?"
"...Quit it."
"Your very cruel to girls who aren"t Lilchan. But at least make an exception for the girl who was your second love."
Now that Rikka thought about it… A flash of blonde appears in her head. It was that girl wasn"t it? It seems like there is more to this than meets the eye.
….
Rikka didn"t expect there to be more visitors. But then again, it seems like the unexpected keeps happening to her recently. At first Rikka intended to ignore the door but Haruka who was playing with his phone suddenly stood up.
"Yumeko…"
The girl glared at Haruka but shook her head.
"Brother, bring Lilchan in please."
At that comment Rikka watched as a short blonde haired man with blue eyes dragged in Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. "Kanehera Kouta, right?" Rikka looked over at the girl and immediately noticed something. Was it raining outside?
"I told you I"m fine," Lila snapped. "I can"t believe your nagging."
"Like h.e.l.l," Kouta scolded. "Why are you like this these days?"
"I"m…"
"Give her to me," Haruka interjected.
At that comment Kanehera Kouta sighed.
"Your husband was actually here," Kouta mumbled. "I win the bet don"t I?"
"Quiet," Lila weakly walked over to Haruka who immediately caught her. "I"m tired..where were you? You said you"d wait for me. I told you I"d come flying, I"m sorry I was late."
"It"s alright," Haruka cupped Lila"s cheeks. "Your all soaked. You"ll catch a cold."
"Help me."
"Hey," Haruka called out. "Let me borrow your bath."
Rikka snapped out of her daze and nodded. She watched as Haruka wrapped his arms around the girl"s waist, and mumbled something in her ear. Teras.h.i.+ma Lila who had a dark gaze since she came here suddenly brightened up.
Soft laughter escaped Lila"s lips, as she lightly hit Haruka. "You"re so silly, okay. Let"s go."
"Now then," Kyoko turned to her. "I"ve wanted to have a chat with you for awhile. Can we talk?"
"What is there to talk about?"
Kyoko chuckled, "Your going to ask me that?"
