14 Aurora Coloured Truths Part Three (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

Two hours later - Outskirts of town -

'So beautiful.' Sumire leaned on the porch. From this place she could see the entire time To think Yuhi knows of beautiful places like this. When he suggested they go somewhere else for a change of pace. She didn't expect this. Then again Yuhi is different now, Sumire didn't know how to describe it. But unlike before something has changed.

”Sorry there isn't anywhere to sit down.” Yuhi apologized as he passed her a drink.

She shook her head. ”No, this is fine. It's beautiful here.”

”Yeah, I thought it would give you some ideas.”

”Ideas?” Sumire repeated.

”Mmm, for the graduation piece. You joined at such an unusual time. Thankfully your exempt from all the other work aside from the graduation piece.”

So that's how it is. Nobody has actually informed her of anything.

Yuhi looked over at her with a troubled expression. ”Don't tell me you didn't know?”

”I didn't.”

”Damn them.” Yuhi cursed. ”Well if you do have questions, feel free to ask away.”

”I do have a question.”

”That is..”

”Are you ever going to let go of my hand?” Sumire questioned.

At that comment Sumire half expected Yuhi to let go of her hand. But instead he squeezed them instead. Her eyes widened, 'he doesn't intend to let go does he?' The truth is, she probably liked this person before. Those four encounters, she most-likely fell in love with him when she was thirteen years old. That snowy day scene, even now she remembers it. She liked him before and that's why she feels comfortable around him. This is the only explanation she has.

When she was thirteen, she was in love with this person. Sumire shook her head, 'what use is there thinking about that now?' She quickly turned to the scenery. If she looks at Yuhi, complicated thoughts will appear in her head again. Yuhi told her he could rely on her. But, she how much can he tell him?

Sumire wanted to talk to somebody about that. Even if Mamoru didn't die from the accident. He would have died young anyway.

...….

20th XX Sumire's Apartment - Star Town

One week after their fight, Sumire found

a soaked Mamoru at her door step. Security in her place is relaxed or ever. Then again, people have seen Mamoru together with her before. Sumire just returned from lessons and sat down when she heard somebody knocking frantically on her door. Since she lived alone, she normally wouldn't open the door.

But for some reason she walked over and opened the hatch. When she saw who it was, she paused for a moment before opening it. 'They can't fight forever.' Besides during these circumstances, she needs to be there for him.

”Haha. Sorry Ki, I accidentally came over.” Mamoru apologized.

”Accidentally you. . why on earth are you soaking wet?” Sumire questioned.

Sumire placed her hand on his shoulder, and frowned. 'Ice cold and even his skin looks pale.' Her eyes widened horrified.

”Are you trying to kill yourself? Come inside. The others won't be checking anymore since I already said I would sleep. You'll catch a cold if you don't dry up.”

He will probably need a bath and a change of clothes too. Mamoru has stayed over before, so he does have clothes here.

Her sentence fell short when she felt his arms wrap around her waist. His head buried in the crook of her neck. 'Something is wrong here.'

”Ru? What's wrong?” Sumire asked concerned.
