Before Sumire could say anything, she watched in a flash as Yuhi took her pen and sped through the answers.

Amazing, he did them so fast.

Then again, if she thinks about it carefully, he is the student council vice president. So his grades ought to be good for him to get the position. Then does that mean Akatsuki-san"s grades are better? One wouldn"t think so. It surprised her when she found out what role Yuhi has in the student council.

"Why are you making that foolish face?" Yuhi said.

Again with the insult, he does this a lot these days.

Then again, she interrupted his nap, so she supposed this was somewhat normal.

"It surprised me but thank you very much! I am sorry for being so rude." Sumire apologized.

Yuhi nodded before pausing. "I  just wanted to let you know that a problem like that anybody can solve."

Ugh, of course, she could solve it. Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi took the notebook from her hands. "What are y-" Sumire paused when she saw the expression on his face.

"It seems I can"t hold back anymore."

"You couldn"t in the first place," Sumire mumbled, and he laughed. He pulled her into his arms, and she heard it clearly, the sound of his beating heart. 

"I like you more than I thought I did, Sumire."

"I like….

The way Yuhi is too. 

I like the color of his eyes.

The feeling of his strong arms wrapped around me.

The way he says my name whenever he holds me

I like everything about him."

Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi gently laid her down on the couch and hovered over her. He took a strand of her hair and kissed it. "I love you so much."

Like turned into love, this person truly wants only her. He is the one person who will never betray her—the one person who will accept everything.

..

Sumire never knew what to talk about after they finish doing it. She heard stories from the other girls at school, but it still baffled her. After doing something so embarrassing, it is hard to look at Yuhi in the eye. Although she got caught up in the flow, there is a limit.

Oh, somehow, this is different. She wonders what this strange feeling is. "Yuhi-san." Sumire decided to call out. He looked at her. "I think something is different."

"Silly, nothing has changed."

But somehow, this is different than the previous times.

"You"re prettier."

"That"s n--" Her sentence fell short when he kissed her.

"You okay?

"No."

Yuhi laughed. "Sorry, but it"s been a while."

"I don"t mind."

"Mmmm, I know."

So why does he hold back? But this is nice too.

"Yuhi." She ran her fingers across his chest, and a hum of approval escaped his lips.

"Yes?"

"Do you have some time for me tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Um, I have a small live by the station." She suddenly felt nervous. What if he finds this behavior annoying? 

To her surprise, Yuhi looked at her with a gentle expression. "You want me there?"

"I do."

If Yuhi is around, she will feel less nervous. But she looked over at him. "I don"t think I should say that." Yuhi probably thinks she genuinely wants him to attend.

Her thoughts broke off when she felt him gently run his hands across her cheeks. "Yuhi? What are you doing?"

"This is nice, being like this with you."

"Yuhi, you know we have work to do today."

"It"s Sunday, idiot. I have weekends off, remember?"

Oh right, but as far as she recalled, ever since, the situation became more serious. Yuhi would often investigate the places Ru went to.

For him to bring this up now, is he still worried about that nightmare from yesterday? No, she knew it wasn"t just yesterday.

"I"ll make some tea." She proceeded to stand up until he pulled on her arm.

"Don"t go anywhere. Stay here."

He"s been like that a lot recently, though he always wanted her to stay by his side before somehow, now it is different.

Sumire didn"t know what it was, but it felt like the current Yuhi needed her, and if she wasn"t with him, then he wouldn"t be able to go on. His smiles vanished as well, and there is definitely a problem.

"The lights have been on in your quarters these past few days, did something happen?"

Sumire decided it would be better to get straight to the point. After all, she didn"t know anything, so she didn"t know where to start. This was the best option she had.

"Like what?"

"I don"t know."

"That"s vague of you, boss."

"What a fool." Sumire was about to say something when she hears the sound of something clattering against the window. 

"It"s raining?"

For some people, the sound of the rain comforts them. Those are the people who enjoy and see the beauty of rainy days. However, some only see painful memories.

Sometimes, even if it"s only for a moment, those feelings become unbearable. The pain that comes alongside it is unbearable. It does not matter if the situation differs per individual. That suffocating feeling never goes away.

For her, the sound of the rain reminded her of those days, the days where Rus"s illness got worse, and he would have an attack. It was painful for her to watch him suffer like that.

Her thoughts broke off when he pulled her back into his arms. He wrapped the blanket around them both, but it was mainly on her side.

"Just rest."

"It"s raining, Yuhi."

"Perfect time to snuggle and not do work."

Sumire laughed. "You"re" so lazy at times, Yuhi-san." Rather when it comes to ordinary things, he is so casual.

But if it was something to do with music or art, he is a lot more focused.

"You know, it was great, but you could describe the situation more."

"Describe?"

"Although I am aware after what you said that you had desires for me since we were younger. I"m pretty sure it wasn"t as twisted as mine.  "

"Oh." She always had a faint idea of his desires since he often watched over her. But this is the first time she heard him admit the full extent of those desires.

"I never got a chance to properly hold you then. Even though I tried on various occasions to do so, I never did. When I left, I regretted it so much. I never thought I would ever get the chance to see you again. But not only did I break the promise not to see you anymore. I seduced you when I did."

"D--du--mmy! Don"t call it seducing. You did no such thing."

If he is talking about that time, though, it was only natural for her to blush. How could he break into her house and then borrow her shower like that?

Yuhi chuckles at her reaction. Gee.

"But I suppose I couldn"t confirm it then. I only realized that there might have been something after you came here. When you kissed me in the science prep room, no, before then, you were always acting so nervous around me. Did you not realize it? It took you a long time before you spoke to me properly."
