29 Living together? (1/2)
*UNEDITED*
Jae brought him to one of the rooms on the second floor. Yuhi looked around at the room and sighed. ”When did you prepare this?”
”Now King, don't you remember? We prepared this room for her, since you thought she would come here any day.”
Now that he thought about it, something like that happened.
”Is it clean?” he questioned.
At that comment Jae sweat fell and he turned to the door with Sumire in his hands.
”Clean it up first.” Yuhi mumbled and walked out of the room with Sumire in his arms.
Its not like his room is that bad. But he understood where the others came from. The moment he stepped into the room, a heavy scent filled the air. Maybe he ought to quit smoking so much. Yuhi carefully laid Sumire down and joined her on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. He noticed whenever she stayed over at his place, Sumire could sleep peacefully. This is why he kept asking her to stay over.
He doesn't do anything more than hug her. Well maybe he gives her a morning kiss or two, but the walls won't talk. Besides it's not like he is the type to take advantage of someone just because they are weak. If it were anybody else though, he wouldn't have the patience to deal with them.

Sumire opened her eyes and felt a pair of warm arms around her. It belonged to none other than Terashima Yuhi. Her gaze softened when she saw how tightly he was holding her. 'This warmth, I have never felt something like this before.' She snuggled up to him, so very comfortable. What is this? When was the last time she felt at ease? Sumire didn't understand it very well. When she is with this person, she feels peaceful and so content. It feels like all her worries will fade away, exactly like a flame.
”King is like a huge lion, would you not say so?” a familiar voice said.
”You're here.” Sumire mumbled.
Atushi nodded. ”Sorry I'm late. I went abroad to investigate but it seems I can't do anything about it.” He trailed off. ”I didn't say anything to Yuhi yet.”
Sumire shook her head. ”Its okay, I didn't want to say until I was sure anyway.”
”Do you understand what is happening?”
”Not at all, but then again I do believe in the supernatural. Everything happens for a reason.”
”Sumire..”
Sumire glanced over at Yuhi who was fast asleep beside her. ”I am very grateful.”
”Is he treating you well?”
”Yes, I'm happy. For the first time in so long I can say this.”
Atushi reached over and patted her hair. ”That's good. I'm sure that person would be relieved too.”
Sumire sighed when she heard that comment. ”Do you have to remind me of him? Are you that cruel?”
”Sorry, sorry.” Atushi laughed. ”I understand that Yuhi is the most important person to you right now.”
”It's more like he is the only person.” Sumire mumbled. Yuhi is the only person she would make this exception for.
”So he is that important, huh?” Atushi seemed amused. ”I was thinking it isn't like you to get so emotional Sumire.”
Sumire laughed awkwardly. ”I guess he is influencing me already.”
”What cheesy stuff are you saying, brat.” A familiar gruff voice said.
Her cheeks burned red when she saw Yuhi awake. Sumire laughed. ”You heard me?”
Yuhi yawned and sat up. He pulled her into his arms. ”I heard every word. I have been wracking my head and thinking about what I can do for you. But it seems like just me standing by your side is enough. I'm not Tsueno and I never will be, but is it okay for us to always be together?”
Her gaze softened. ”For the first time I can hear your real feelings.” She trailed off. ”I would like that a lot Yuhi.”
”Then it's decided, live with me.”
Wait what? What did he just suggest there? Live with him?!!
Sumire could only look at him with wide eyes. But Yuhi did not let her refuse.
...
Two days later
Her gaze fell on the building in front of her. Yuhi mainly stayed in the school dorms but he also has his own place. Living together? Sumire wanted to refuse. Sure she has stayed over a few times already but that was different. Yuhi grabbed her bag and led her inside.
”I'm still fixing up your room, so for now—”
