30 Seed (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

Yuhi used his free hand and ran it through his hair. ”I don't understand you, you make things so difficult for me. But you know something? I think I'm getting used to how complicated things are.”

'Is that a compliment or not?'

”You don't have to understand. I appreciate the thought.”

The sentiments are enough. There are many people who claim they care about her. So many of them leave when it becomes too heavy for them. When it becomes a burden, they are quick to leave. Sumire never stops them from leaving. Is it because she doesn't care? That isn't it. She wants to stop them, she wants them to say.

But does she have the right to do that? If they stay with her, she can't promise them anything but endless amounts of pain. That's why it is better to let them go, even if she ends up alone.

Yet that person differs from all of them.

Ever since she arrived in Tokyo, she has been nothing but trouble. All she does is cause Yuhi problems. But even then he stays by her side, he does not abandon her. No matter how much she cries and breaks down, he stays right by her side. A truly foolish person, one day he will realize the mistake he made. Sumire tried to convince herself this, but it failed.

...

Yuhi told her to take a nap and so she did, before she knew it she quickly drifted of.

Waking up to Yuhi's gentle hands caressing her hair, she was tempted to go back to sleep. Sumire didn't because she hears him mumbling. 'Oh…' Sumire pretends to sleep, knowing that he couldn't say it out loud if she were awake, she wonders what he's going to say.

”If your sleeping it would be better for me. But if your awake, just listen and don't say anything.” Yuhi mumbled. ”You see you spoke to me about your age and wisdom the other day. I didn't reply right away. But that's because I wanted to think my answer through. Even if you became old and wrinkly, my feelings won't change.”

Sumire's eyes widened when she heard his words.

”You're not old. Rather when I first saw you again. I thought I was looking at a goddess.”

Sumire his deep thoughts, as she reached over and strokes his cheek gently with her palm, returning his tender smile with a bright one. ”Your still just as handsome Yuhi.”

It was clear that comment embarrassed him, since she could see the tint of pink in his cheeks. He really has learned to be more honest now. ”Your awake I see.”

”I feel wide awake now because you were saying such sweet things. Yuhi, you dummy. Are we going to continue our conversation like this?”

”Yeah, let's talk about the piece for the festival.”

”No chat about work.”

She brushes her fingers tenderly on his lips, tracing them gently. ”Then, a terrible seed of desire. What is it to you?”

It seems like he was curious after all huh?

The brunette haired girl doesn't say anything for a few minutes. It looked like Yuhi was about to change the topic, yet she spoke up.

”I no longer want to dwell on the past and move on. I want to express everything I am feeling. But this feeling is born from a twisted desire. What can I do about it?” At that she could see his eyes go wide. ”However, the rest is a secret.”
