"..Ari-ch-"
Yumeko paused in mid-sentence, her eyes go wide seeing the scene before her.
"It's just you."
What's with that it's just her?!
"What do you want?"
"You shouldn't treat Ari-chan like those other girls." Yumeko had to avert her gaze while saying this because Haruka was still on top of her friend.
There! She said it.
"And that's your business because?"
Her cheeks reddened.
".."
Haruka stood up.
"You, don't test my patience."
"..."
"Stop appearing in front of me."
"We attend the same school, and Ari-chan is my friend. Don't you think what your asking for is impossible?"
"Then. I'll give you a warning."
A warning? She's just going to ignore his words like usual. What's a warning going to do. Her thoughts, however, broke off when he suddenly walked over to her. And in the next second, she could feel a familiar sensation on her lips. It was the same, the same as that night so many years ago, and yet different. The two of them are already...
??!!!!
"-stay away."
"Haru-"
Before she could say his name...His lips fell on hers again.
______________________________________________________________
He didn't say anything when she slapped him and rushed out.
Nor did he say much when he saw what she had dropped.
Haruka exhaled deeply..before he noticed that the girl on the bed was stirring. He walked back over, to find her peeking from the covers. He paused, why does she look really cute like that?
Hearing laughter, he takes large strides over. "Are you messing with me?" He mumbled.
"Um no, I was just staring."
"Is that so?"
"Haruka? I can't sit up."
".."
He helped her up and pushed her against the headboard, "Dizzy?"
"A little.."
Her fingers trace his chest.
"Haruka. ."
"I'll get you some medicine."
Lila shook her head and extends her arms out.
"..."
"Cuddle."
"Are you cold?"
Lila nodded.
"I'll get you a thicker blanket."
"Cuddle." She repeated.
..
However, he found himself pulling away from her and left. He doesn't look back, knowing he would return to her side immediately. Out in the hallway, he exhaled deeply. He can't get too attached. He has to maintain a distance.
.
.
When he returned to the room, he noticed that she was sitting on the seats by the window. Headphones attached to a music player.
______________________________________________________________
As the blue hair girl begins to hum the melody though, she finds the tears naturally falling from her violet coloured orbs. Ah, it really is no good for her after all. Every time she sings a pure love song, she cannot help but burst into tears. A person like herself has longed been tainted after all, whether it's by the blood of those she fights with or the hands of other guys on her when she's in a relationship. She's dirty. So dirty.
"This is so beautiful. ...I can't write anything. Not someone like me... "Lila's sentence fell short when she felt a hand clasp against her own.
"Don't be silly. Lyrics written by a person who is able to cry like this, can't be superficial. The reason why people are moved by your songs is that they can sense it, the beautiful feelings behind every single word.."
"Haruka.."
"I don't know what your writing for. But, I can hear it, your feelings."
Her feelings..

Hotel T, longue. 3:00PM
It didn't mean anything...
It didn't mean anything.
If she constantly repeated those words to herself, then she will convince herself and yet there was something there. Something that wasn't anger. Was it sadness? Pain? She really isn't sure. But ...there was something there. Something that shouldn't be there.
'If you...if you like him more than me...'
No.
No.
It wasn't like that. She didn't...she wasn't...
Her thoughts broke off when she found herself running into someone. "Sorry."
"Oh your here Yumeko..."
"Mikami-kun...."
"...What's the matter?"
That's when Yumeko catches a glimpse of her reflection in the hotel lounge mirror. Ah.
.
.
Yumeko found him in the other room, strumming some chords on his guitar.
"Are you feeling better?"
"I'm so sorry."
Mikami shook his head, "It's fine, I can guess what happened. Senpai?"
Yumeko slowly nodded.
Mikami sighed, "That guy really has no tact whatsoever."
"Mikami-kun...do you..do you think I'm in love with..." Yumeko didn't want to finish her sentence.
Mikami paused before he replied, "I did hear about your past Yumeko-chan, but I have to wonder if you really did love him."
"Eh?"
______________________________________________________________
"Haruka, why are you being so kind?"
"Huh?"
"Normally, you would lecture me.."
.. .she's right. Normally when he sees her like this, he would indeed lecture her. Haruka stood up and took something from his luggage on the side, before he walked over to the girl, "I don't know what song you're trying to write. But maybe your inspiration will click when you've listened to these."
"Wow!! So many songs?" Lila exclaimed.
"They're all of the music screening."
"Eh but.."
"It's true it's on hold. But you can take a look for a while."
The girl nodded.
"These are...all composed by different people?"
"Yeah, all the ones selected get a choice. Even if two people chose the same one, as long as they write different lyrics for it. Then it's no problem. But of course, that would…"
"Then, I want this one," Lila said.
Don't choose that quickly! But he supposes she does have an eye for these things.
"Which one did y--"Haruka paused as he saw her hold up a familiar CD and exhaled deeply.
. . . Is she really not doing this deliberately?
"Why that one?" he questioned.
"It's hard to explain. But somehow, it felt like it called out to me. And looking at the score, it feels like it was written for me."
....
Was he unconsciously thinking of her when writing?
Even though he was writing a song for work.
For an idol to be able to sing.
"Haruka?"
He took out his guitar from the side and sits down on the couch, "That's my song if you want to sing it. Then tr--"his sentence falls short seeing her sparkling eyes.
"What?"
Lila laughed happily as she brought the score to her face, hiding her face slightly, "Nothing ~!"
..
She skipped over and sits down next to him.
"Hmmm, there's no lyrics?"
"Didn't you just listen to..."
Lila smiled, "Then, I'll hum it for now until I come up with something.."
...was that supposed to be some sort of subtle hint to work on it together? It's not like it's against the rules for him to help her, what's more. He is her producer. Besides, he would rather have her work on this song, then the DEVIL one. He gently caressed her hair, "Haruka?"
"Before we work, there's something I want to do."
Light and shy laughter escaped the girl's lips, "Kiss?"
"Yeah."
Lila suddenly leaned forward, surprising him.
"?"
"If it's going to be different..."
"Oh."
She smiled, "It's different when the other person does it."
How bold.
"Then, you'll be doing it?" Haruka asked, amused.
Seeing her cheeks reddened, he chuckled slightly, "Your attempt at being brave deserves some points."
"Stupid!"
He does like the fact that she tried to be bold though. His gaze softened, she's way too kind for her own good. He knows full well, she doesn't have feelings for him.
"I prefer to be the one doing the kissing."
"Haruka."
"You still don't understand, that's why I'll show you."
"Wait...I…"
Haruka shook his head, "I'll be the bad guy, so don't worry about anything…"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
