*UNEDITED*"Besides, you know I"m the man of your destiny."
At that comment her eyes twitched in annoyance. This guy is getting too arrogant, Lyn reached over and pinched his ears again. "You really think your my destined man?"
"Ouch, ouch that hurts! Hey Lyn, don"t be so harsh."
"Tough luck. Your always sneaking around somewhere when I"m not looking. I really think I should invest in a leas.h.!.+" she exclaimed. For the longest time Lyn held all of this back. She didn"t say a word whenever Kazuya disappeared, she simply left him be. But now, Lyn is regretting that choice.
"Hey, where are we going?" Kazuya kept looking back at the soldiers who gave them odd looks.
"I"m going to find big brother!"
"H--hey Lyn, you don"t have to rat me out to your brother."
"The airs.h.i.+p, and the other things you stole. Tell me now."
Kazuya sent her an awkward look, "My Lyn, do you have to do this? You know I"m a gentleman thief."
"Don"t give me that nonsense, stealing is bad. End of conversation."
Geez, she really doesn"t understand him. At first Lyn left it be since he only stole treasures that belonged to his people before. But, as time went by Kazuya gradually started stealing other things. The more things he stole, the more uneasy she became. Even if he gets caught with those treasures from his place, he can argue his case. However, the irrelevant items? Sometimes Lyn doesn"t want to leave his side because she is afraid of what will happen if he gets caught. If Kazuya is with her, even if they find evidence - they can"t convict him.
Mother and eldest brother Andrew are preparing for huge debut in society. So, they"d help her out with this won"t they? Whatever happens to Kazuya will effect her. Even though Lyn doesn"t care what others say about her. She cares about other peoples opinion on Kazuya. Lyn didn"t want them to look down on him even more.
.....
Two days later - Kazuya"s Residence -
When she was a little girl there was a dream that she could never give up. Just like a song that she once heard, living with the person she loves, living together with our children by our side. We would never let our children be lonely. The two of us would give them lots of love, always by their sides smiling happily. Having a family like that has always been her dream.
To go on the trip right after that indeed holds more meaning. Lyn knee at at one point they will have to talk about it. But for the mean time she wants to be able to enjoy this time she has with him. Because when she gets back, she will get married to Allen. To get married after coming back truly does seem selfish. But it is better now than never, the more they delay it; the less chance. Still, Kazuya doesn"t know about the marriage. She doesn"t know how to tell him. Or maybe instead of marrying, she can announce the end of the engagement?
Lyn understood that her mother was giving her a choice on the matter.
"Lyn.
Please be very careful.
If what we remember is right then Kazuya is ---"
"Your mistaken. Kazuya didn"t do it on purpose.
I know that very well, how very kind he is."
Recalling that conversation made her sigh. She needs to stop thinking about it. It will do her no good to continue this way.
The black haired girl gaze darted towards the brunette haired man who had fallen asleep on her shoulder. He"s so very kind and gentle. This person would not take such drastic actions to hurt those who are close to her.
"Lyn?" a faint voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Ah your up, here it"s time for lunch already. We still have another two and a half hours to go, so let"s eat here. .." her sentence fell short when she felf the warmth of Kazuya"s lips on hers. "Anno?"
"I had a very pleasant dream of the past just now, and I remembered exactly why I fell in love with you five times."
Lyn snuggled on to his arm, "Embarra.s.sed?" Kazuya mumbled.
Lyn her head, "No, I"m happy. Kazuya, are you not mad at Zepher for being forceful on making you remember?" A few days back, Zepher lead Kazuya. She was worried and ended up following them.
"Well I can"t say it took me by surprise. But I suppose there was no choice in the matter, I"m the one who holds the key after all. That song of requiem won"t work on me unless Zepher activates the key with his pendant."
"I see. I"m sorry we had to resort to that though. Are you hurt Kazuya?"
It"s true that at this stage they don"t really have the luxury to make choices, that won"t hurt anyone. But for the longest time she delayed things, because to do so at a time Kazuya was most fragile would have a reverse affect. She no longer wants to cause him any emotional scars.
His gaze softens and Lyn felt him place his hand on top of her hand that was on his cheek, "I"m alright," Kazuya trails of, "More importantly, that"s your handmade lunch isn"t it?"
Earlier she woke up and found herself cooking. Later Lyn heard Kazuya s.h.i.+fting about, so she brought some of the food over.
"Aha, your so impatient. Let me set things up," Lyn stood up and left the bed. She made her way to the attached kitchen area, and took out the dishes she made earlier.
Kazuya followed her and patiently sat down.
"This is really good, huh have you been practicing?" Kazuya said through a mouthful of food.
"When I find the time to do so yes."
"Hmm I see. These are all the foods I told you weren"t good though, perhaps you did it for my sake?"
Damm, Lyn forgot how accustomed he is to dealing with girls trying to please him. Her thoughts broke of when his fingers brushed across her lips.
"Thank you Lyn."
Kazuya touched her, and yet something is different. The words he just said too, words that seem so genuine. Lyn shuffled next to him and he gently rests her head on his shoulder.
Just for a little while longer.
Lyn wanted to be with this person.
