' It's true that I'm jealous... But that guy, I'm sure only you can save him. Lead him to a path of light like you did me. '
. . Kiryu...
" . ...If I said I wasn't surprised. I'd be lying. But I don't hate you either. Even if we hadn't met the way we did, and all of this happened. I could never hate you. Everyone is hearing the songs you write, it leaves a deep impression on people's hearts. It'll be the same from now on." That's right, from the very start this person's songs have always captivated her. A long time ago, she heard several songs with a similar feeling and now she understands. Ah, so he was the one who wrote them.
A person who's able to write such music isn't a bad guy.
Lila takes a few steps closer, "The meaning of survival? I've never thought about it before. Because I don't know the answer. So, let's figure it out together." she pulls him into an embrace.
"Lila..."
"I can only lend you little support now. But next year, I will give you a proper answer. " She doesn't know if she can be the one to lead him to a place of light. But she wants to try.
When she thinks of light, she sees your figure.
You may get angry, at her for saying this.
But to her, you really were another light to her. A different sort of light than the one belonging to her beloved. But something equally as important. What she's been avoiding this entire time. What people saw in us then. She wonders if ...it will all come spilling out soon.

__________________________________________________
To wake up in a hotel room, a rather spacious - no shady looking one was the last thing she expected. But sure enough, this situation is exactly what it looks like. Aahhh, Terashima Lila. You've only been here for 4 days, what are you doing ending up in this situation? But, even now the sensation of his touch remains with her. He really hasn't changed. He's still so gentle and kind. He didn't leave, did he? Hearing the shower, she sighs in relief. But still, doing something like this to her. He doesn't know it's her yet, but maybe he did this because he had his suspicions? She really doesn't understand. Her body was covered in her sweat and his, and she flushes seeing a few patches in the sheets.
How embarrassing...It was only kissing and yet...Her thoughts break of hearing footsteps, Lila looks up to find Haruka-kun, he looks over at her. "Morning."
"Y--yes. G--good...good."
All that left her lips was stuttering.
Haruka walks over and cups her cheeks, wh--what is he doing?
"Your body, rest it for a bit. We don't have to check out right away."
He's concerned about her.
Normally she would take him up on that.
"We um, have school."
Haruka murmurs an 'I see.' And lets her go. She catches a glimpse of his expression, her eyes widen. Ah, he's in pain. Because of what she just said? Could it be, that he wanted to stay here longer with her? And do what? No, no, if he looks like this then surely, it's not because of that. Maybe it's just the first part, that he wants to spend time with her. If it's like that she .. Lila gets up, wrapping the blanket around her and joins him on the couch.
"What are you doing? It's cramped."
"Senpai."
"Are you going to complain? Take the bed, I'll sleep here. I know we have school, but you need to rest for a bit. I'll stay over here."
A path of light.
She must be the one who does it.
Even now she can see it, he's deliberately trying to put up a wall between the two of them. She must be the one that breaks it. Lila hesitantly brings her lips to his and he blinks in confusion, "Really? What are you doing? You...you." Lila changes their position until she was on top of him.
She caresses his cheeks against her palm.
"Are you seducing me? No, that's not it..."
He extends his hand out to brush back a strand of her stray hair. "Ari, Ari."
"Se--Haruka..."
__________________________________________________
Haruka was under the impression he would be avoided after that. It wasn't just a kiss after all. She was silent on the way to school and didn't say much when they parted to go to class. He recalls how the girl kissed him. The first time she took the initiative, but that kiss wasn't passionate much to his disappointment, and yet, But, during the break, he finds her rushing up to him.
"Senpai, senpai. Um, I have a question."
He was leaning on the wall where most people don't usually go. When he spots her from the corner, peeking at him. Being stared at by such beauty was torturous. The fact that he can't do anything to her either. Or maybe he should?
"What is it?"
Or rather.
"Are you lost? It's the middle of class time."
"Ah, I am lost. But um, where's the infirmary?"
Infirmary?
He examines the girl and puts out his cigarette and lifts her.
"Huh, your pretty light."
".... Wahhh!"
She shyly buries her face in his arms. Does she really think that's going to work on him?
___________________________________________________
To be carried bridal style to the infirmary was the last thing she expected. But, she's grateful. Since she really couldn't feel her legs at all. He puts her down on the bed and looks around the cabinets. Lila peeks at him from the blanket and from time to time he would also look back at her. Somehow, she isn't as mad as she ought to be. Even though, she should be angry. What he did was completely uncalled for. It was already bad enough, but now he's her manager. He shouldn't have done that in such a place. Dragging his new talent to a hotel too. She exhales deeply, it's not like. He really did anything. Despite how frightening his words were. His lips were so warm and his touch was gentle. Haruka-kun is very kind. That's something she knows all too well.
___________________________________________________
38...
She has a high fever, she ought to rest. He sends a message to one of the guys who follow him around and hears footsteps fading. He shouldn't be back for a while. Now then, his gaze landed on the girl on the bed. She was still looking at him with flushed cheeks.
"...You should go to sleep."
"What about you, senpai?"
"Huh?"
"I don't want to be myself. "
"Don't be silly, I'll attack you."
It's not like he was going to go anywhere anyway.
"But you're tired too, you don't have the strength for that."
Damn.
So, that's how he finds himself laying down next to her. But, he's getting de-ja-vu here. Laying down and not doing anything. It was like that, well, at the beginning with that girl. Eventually, he did touch her, but still -- he really is getting an odd sense of de-ja-vu here. Is it not strange how similar they are?
"Senpai, are you sleeping?"
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, um, it's just your um."
Is he getting turned on already? He curses.
"I'll turn around."
Ari shakes her head, "No, um,"
"Alright, I get it."
Ari nods and then shyly buries her face in his chest, the sudden contact surprised him. But, he allows her and even pats her hair.
"Aha. Goodnight."
"...Yeah."
.
.
When she wakes up, he quickly shoves aside the girl who had come on to him and tells her to go quickly. Whilst he walks back over to where she was. Ari was sitting up and looking outside the window, seeing her pained eyes. Haruka closes the blinds. He did figure that there was something about of about her being unusually pale. But now he gets it, she's a hanyou. A pure breed too from the looks of things.
"Do you, need some blood?"
The girl's cheeks redden and she looks away.
"I don't usually offer, but if the school finds out you're in this state. You'll get in trouble."
"I'm just a bit anemic. It'll go away."
That's not convincing at all.
"Just take it."
Besides, he'll get in trouble too.
Ari hesitantly nods, and he sits down beside her on the bed, she shyly brings her arms around his neck.
...Come to think of it, it's been a while since he's done this with anyone. He almost forgot how intimate it was. Is that why she was hesitant just now? That's sort of annoying. But maybe she's just shy. His thoughts break of feeling her hands tug on the remaining buttons of his shirt. Ah. Right, very intimate. Should he tell her to stop? She'll die of embarrassment later. Haruka immediately decides against it, treasuring the feeling of her hands touching him.
.
.
Haruka hugs her from behind.
"So, where's my compensation? You drank a lot."
"Y--you're the one who offered..."
But the girl turned around her lips met his. It was the first time she took the initiative, but it wasn't uncomfortable. A bit sloppy, but, just as he was getting into it, however, she pulls back. Cheeks flushed.
"Tell me something senpai."
"Hm?"
"Weren't you just with a girl."
Oh, she must have heard.
"It's fine, she's not my girlfriend."
"Do you, not have a girlfriend senpai?"
"I don't."
.
.
She really told him off there and yet, she clung on to him tightly and before he left. 'Thank you, senpai.' The warmth of the girl's face buried in his back still lingers. It's not the first time he's been hugged, but there's something about her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
