*UNEDITED*This girl shouldn"t even be here. But most-likely she tried looking for Kazuya first. He will always be the back up, huh? However, that"s fine. At least Lyn even thinks to come to him when she is weak and fragile. He sighed, "he keeps falling for this trap." Yes, it"s a trap. How many females have acted like this towards him? He already saw it all. So Rhys thought he built up an immunity.
One of the main reasons why everybody trusted him with this job was that. Initially anyway, until they found out his connection with Lyn. Rhys tried so hard to hide it. But, on the end somebody still found out. He debated about it but eventually laid down on the makes.h.i.+ft bed.
Lyn immediately understood and made her way across. Once she arrived in front of him, he
"You"re alright to sleep now?" Rhys asked.
"Mmmm," Lyn mumbled as she snuggled up to him.
"Too careless," Rhys thought. If he wasn"t wounded, he would have messed with her already. "It feels nice hugging me right?"
"Ah, I guess."
"And watching the moon is romantic."
"Mhm..." Lyn quietly said. Her breathing slowly slowed down. Rhys watched her the entire time so he said a few more things before he watched her eyelids close. All the tension and unease seemed to vanish from her sleep.
Rhys watched her sleep, watched her cling to him., it felt good. This situation felt great, he could hold her so closely without anybody telling him what to do.
He reached over and played with the strands of her black hair, and brought it close to his face. Rhys kissed the strands in his fingers.
She was gentle, she was fragile.
She was incredibly breakable - Rhys never intended to treat her like gla.s.s or like a doll. However, when he learned how reckless she could be. He decided to change his mind, before he knew it he was watching over. When she has nightmares or gets scared, she is like gla.s.s. Sometimes he is afraid to hold her because she would
But it was fine since he was there. Nothing would happen. He"d keep her safe. His arm held her tight.
Lyn could sleep all she wanted. She could let her guard down, and he wouldn"t stop her. He would be here for her, he wouldn"t leave her alone. Rhys knew he was contradicting himself. Didn"t he just say something about acting distance and all that?
None of that mattered now, as long as he was by her side, Lyn would be safe. It was the first time he was able to be by her and feel good enough to fall asleep too.
......
It doesn"t bother him.
No matter how many times Beth repeated him. The girl sat across from him, a old style game of go board between them.
It really doesn"t bother him, despite him already finding out. The black haired girl still insist on remaining anonymous about coming in to his room at night and taking care of him.
"It doesn"t bother him," Rhys repeated in his head.
Even though, he already went ahead and indirectly confronted her about it that night. Even though she already pulled such a expression for him because of it. She still doesn"t say and - he"s noticed another thing. Her kisses, have become longer and even after she finishes feeding him the medicine that way she sort of lingers her lips their for a few more seconds then she is supposed to.
How whenever he brought it up, she just sends him that smile leaving him wanting to touch her even more. Graceful and beautiful, as each day pa.s.ses it"s becoming even more evident.
Rhys sighs for the fifteenth time or was it seventeen already? He doesn"t know. But one thing was sure, he can no longer pretend that he doesn"t know.
And yet he"s going to keep insisting, that it doesn"t bother him to Beth. Beth who keeps coming here nearly everyday.
If he to say it out loud to anyone, then he may insult her in front of Kazuya and that wouldn"t be a good situation at all. After all he understood it to a degree despite how stubborn he is.
Lyn already belongs to someone else and that"s why, the stuff he does to her has to remain between them. Because if she were ever to get caught - then he knew he would be destroying any means of love the girl could have.
Rhys didn"t want to admit it, but Kazuya could give her that love. Could he give it to her? What she wants. Rhys thinks about it a lot. Especially since he knows, that she cares a lot more about him then she let"s out.
"Thirty five," Beth suddenly said.
"Hm?" Rhys half paid attention. He kept wondering what Lyn was up to right now. She ought to be in the middle of her lessons right now.
"It"s the 35th time you sighed," Beth pointed out as she moves a piece on the board.
At that comment Rhys sighed more, "Why on earth are you keeping count?"
"It"s difficult not to when that"s all you"ve been doing. If you really want her to admit it, stop pretending that you don"t know. You"ve been pretending to be sleeping the entire time. But the actual reality is you"ve been awake."
Rhys knew he couldn"t say anything to that.
He actually slept those previous other times. That was until he caught wif of the girls scent, that"s what woke him up. When Lyn kisses him, she keeps her eyes closed so she doesn"t notice it. All Rhys has to do is close his eyes when she opens hers, it"s that simple.
Rhys rubbed the back of his head, "It"s not that simple you know?"
"I already said it once before but if you just confront her directly. You"ll be surprised on the results," Beth explained. "It"s called honesty."
Surprised huh?
Indeed, he has been surprised so many times. Whenever he"s confronted her directly she would always pull the cutest expressions. It"s like what Beth said, he only has to tell her directly then she will know everything. Then Lyn could consider him properly too. However if it was that simple to change who you were in love with, then the concept of having a stable couple would never be known.
Since people would change partners every three seconds. Perhaps that ideology is too much for this case but right now he can"t think of anything else. What he wants, what he wants the most is for her to properly come to him. Properly, without having any other guy in her mind without being bound to anyone else.
