When she finally came out of the bathroom, the takeaway had just arrived so the food was still fresh. Judging how her hands were in such a bad state, he ordered sushi to make it easier for her. But even eating them with her hands proved to be difficult, so he found himself feeding her.
"Is it good?" he asked.
"En, it's yummy," Lila said cheerfully.
How is she still able to smile brightly after what he did to her? Now that he's calmed down, he's starting to regret it slightly. He should have...continued to wait.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Um, feeding you," she replied.
"Your hands." Haruka reminded her.
"It's just one."
"..."
"Nnggh.."
Once he was done.
.. Lila looked down, "T-tell me Haruka.."
"What?"
"Why do you like me…"
Why she asks...He has his reasons but if he says it, then it means exposing that he knows her identity. She must have understood since she wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'm not a good person, I'm lying to you about many things and my heart belongs to another."
"I know."
He knows, there's hidden darkness about her that he hasn't seen before. But even then, "I don't think that side of you is bad."
Her expression was grim as he said those words, gaze filled with sadness, as she spoke carefully, "I will continue hurting you Haruka, are you really okay with that?"
"...I am."
"Haruka.
"I know what you're trying to do. But it won't work."
It won't work, he's already fallen for her so badly. He realised his feelings for her even more during the time he was apart from her. Every second, every minute and hour during the day. All he could do was think about her, that's why he went to see her. Even though it was only for that brief time. However, after that time, Haruka understood that he should just patiently wait for her here. Once she was no longer by Austin Kiryu's side, he would get his chance.
He felt her hands trace his chest, and he lets out a content sigh. "Do you, really not like me?"
"Honestly, I don't know.."
…
"You don't know?"
Lila nodded, "I don't know. I don't understand. Since coming here, I've had a hard time understanding things about myself. Have I always been this way? Or has something changed? If something's changed...is it how I feel towards you? My feelings.."
He knows what she's trying to get at. The feelings she has for him aren't the same as they were before. He's genuinely surprised about this. He didn't think she would cave in so soon. But then again, there was already such signs of it before. He raised his hand to her face, tracing her eyelids, eyes, nose, cheek before brushing his fingers against her soft lips. "Your feelings, where do they lay?"
It was a tricky question.
And he's taking quite a risk with it.
However...
The girl turned bright red.
..
It's working. Like the boss said. 'all you have to do is spend more time with her, and treat her like she's your only one.' Damn, why does that old guy know something like that for? Haruka leaned forward and kissed the girl gently. Eyes locked on hers after he's finished, "The fact that I like you, you know right?"
"I--I know already."
"Then, you need to think it through more."
It's strange he's saying this. She's clearly been thinking about it a lot. His thoughts break off when she leaned forward and started licking his chest. He blinks..eh? What? Did she suddenly get horn--Haruka sees her eyes flash red.
"Do you want some?"
"...Haruka...it's sweet…"
"..Is that so?"
"I'm so hungry…."
"Take some."
She seemed reluctant, but eventually, he found himself on his back and the girl hovering over him. "I don't want to.. keep hurting you…" eyes filled with pain. He really did hurt her, and yet she didn't run from him.
He brings her forward.
"I don't mind being hurt." he murmured.
And the words are lost after that.
Right now, the two of them are still searching for ways to connect their feelings.
