"You want to see him that badly?" Rhys asked.
Lyn looked down and played with the hem of her skirt as she nodded, "I don't understand very well, but whenever we don't meet for a long time I get uneasy," she muttered. Lyn genuinely didn't understand, exactly why does she want to stay by Kazuya's side so badly. Why does she want to be with him always?
Is it because of love?
Though Lyn loved Allen, she never had these type of emotions before. Perhaps what she felt towards Allen wasn't love after all. A love that brings pain like this whenever they can't meet even just for a little while. This type of love - seems to hold more meaning.
"So, you basically want to be with him twenty-four seven."
"Twenty-four," Lyn trailed off, "Ah, that's impossible. Men and women aren't allowed to bathe together unless they are married."
Rhys looked at her, dumbfounded, "Are you crazy or something? Why restrict yourself like that?"
Crazy? Restrict herself?
What is he talking about?
A deep sigh passed Rhys lips as he muttered something about being oblivious and being an idiot.
....
- Mist Kingdom Main Castle, East -
The place Rhys took her was a place Lyn was familiar with. It was one of the waiting rooms on the East side of the main castle. Lyn looked at her feet nervously, as she avoided eye contact with people passing by. What is Rhys thinking? She can't just use the main entrance. Lyn figured they would take the side entrance. However, Rhys casually walked in the main one. After holding her breath for god knows how long, they eventually arrived at the door. Rhys looked like he wanted to say something to her, but all he said was take care before he walked away.
Lyn looked at the door cautiously; it's okay to just enter right? If Rhys left just like that, then that means there is nobody else in the room but Kazuya. Lyn raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door. But she received no response. She frowned, he didn't leave. Lyn turned the door knob and carefully made her way inside. The room was the same as most of the rooms in the castle. Plain stone walls, windows on the right-hand side of the room. She found the person she was looking for hunched on the ground.
Ah?!! Is he okay? Lyn rushed over, "Kazuya? What's the matter?"
"Lyn?"
Lyn nodded, "What's wron--" her sentence fell short when she felt Kazuya's lips on hers. Since the two of them started dating, they've never kissed as in have a proper one. Sure light kisses on the cheeks and forehead happen when they say hello and goodbye, but other than greetings it's rare. Even then, those would not be considered a proper kiss.
However, this was different; this was a 'proper kiss.' The moment his lips met hers, Lyn felt her head turn all mushy - and she didn't need a mirror to see the state of her face. Lyn felt her cheeks grow hot, as Kazuya pried open her mouth. What— what, what's happening right now? What is he doing? Isn't it obvious, he's kissing her? But why? Contrary to all these questions, Lyn knew that she didn't dislike this. The warmth that filled her body was foreign, and yet Lyn didn't reject it.
Her thoughts broke off when Kazuya pulled away slightly, "Ka—Kazuya?" Lyn called out; his face was flushed and sweaty like her own.
"Not enough," Kazuya murmured. N—not enough? Um? Kazuya gently caressed her cheeks and continued to kiss her.
Umm— is it because it's been a while? Or maybe he's just tired. Oh, this kiss feels a bit different than before. Unlike earlier, his tongue was no longer dancing around the edges.
..
"Lyn?" Kazuya trailed off, he looked her up and down and suddenly bowed, "I'm sorry! I drank too much…"
Oh, he drank alcohol? Lyn didn't know he drank.
Would it be strange to say she didn't mind it?
"It's okay, I liked it," Lyn realized a second too late what she meant.
A serious look appeared on Kazuya's face, "You shouldn't joke about things like that."
"I--I'm not,"
Kazuya inched closer to her again; he gently caressed her hair, "I think I haven't had enough," Kazuya repeated the words from earlier. But Lyn sensed that something was different.
....
"Did you eat?" Kazuya asked as the two of them sat down on the couch. Kazuya leaned his head on her shoulders, causing her to become frantic, "Your cute when you get flustered, sorry, let me borrow your shoulders for a bit."
He called her cute.
"Say Kazuya?"
"Hmmm,"
"Um, did you miss me?"
His lips curve to a smile, "I missed you, Lyn. Sorry I haven't been spending much time with you. I have a lot of work I have to do as the ambassador."
"Ah-huh, I understand."
But she's been lonely. Almost as though Kazuya read her mind, he brought his lips to her forehead and placed a light kiss there, "I'll make some more time for you, I'll drop by tonight and stay over."
"Okay!"
Kazuya looks very tired; maybe she should stay quiet? Even though she wanted to chat with him. Lyn knew she ought to let him get some proper rest. She reached out and gently caressed his hair, come to think of it. Just now they kissed right? He said it was because he was drunk, but even then it doesn't change the fact that he kissed her. If it were just a normal peck on the lips, then maybe it would be okay. Lyn shook her head, that naive side has to vanish.
Pupillam lectured her thoroughly after the first time she kissed Kazuya. Lyn recalled the long stack of books Pupillam made regarding romance. Maybe she ought to learn something from those by now. 'A kiss is an act done between couples who have mutual feelings for each other,' is what was written in the book. Kazuya and her are a couple, but whether they have mutual feelings for each other is something Lyn is not sure of.
Rather the feelings she is thinking of is most likely different than the one that's stated in all those books and stories.
"Something wrong, Lyn?"
"I was just thinking Kazuya; I don't know how to kiss well is that a problem?"
Kazuya laughed, "You're worried about that?"
Lyn pouted, "I'm serious," she doesn't know much about 'love,' and what she does know about it is very limited. She's sixteen years old without any knowledge of this stuff, isn't that a problem?
"Then, do you want me to teach you?"
Teach?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
