82 Substitute (1/2)

He does this often these days.

Kisses act as a substitute.

Though he made that comment about a few times every week. Yuhi has not touched her since that time. He is respecting and treasuring her. Sumire has never felt so much love from another person before.

The first time she did it with Mamoru, something felt weird. Maybe it was due to the situation but something was amiss then.

”Sumire, you don't have to worry anymore. I am right here beside you.”

”But who said you wont leave?”

Didnt Ru promise her that he would be by her side however? How can she trust anybody who say those words?

Yuhi brushed a few stray locks from her face. ”I won't leave you.”

Four simple words that anybody could say and yet she feels so reassured. Yuhi is not lying, he means everything. He traced her lips and Sumire felt her heartbeat increase. Will he do something to her? What does she want him to do?

”Sumire.” Yuhi repeated. ”I am going to count to ten. I want you to push me away, stand up and go to the next room.”

Sumire blinked when she heard those words. It took her a moment to realize what he was talking about. Could it be, this entire time he felt frustrated sexually? Sumire knew her already red face grew even hotter than before. So being in this position..

”Sumire. Listen to me, before it becomes bad for you.”

How could she possibly move away when he obviously has her pinned against the ground? Besides even if she managed to push him away, he would catch her easily. Welp, she probably wouldnt mind it too much.

”--five, four..”

She was so focused on her thoughts that she did not realize that Yuhi was counting already.

”Zero.”

Yuhi frowned slightly when he realized that she did not move away and in seconds he is kissing her passionately.

He chuckled. ”So much for investigating, you distracted me.”

”I didnt do anything Yuhi-san, it was you.”

He was the one who hugged her and then pushed her down. They were having such a serious conversation too. One of his hands slid down her thighs and she shuddered.

”I want you so badly.” Yuhi said huskily as he trailed his lip onto her neck. ”No, I have always wanted you. I will wait until your eighteen and give you time to come to terms with your feelings. But I want you to know how frustrated I am.”

Sumire closed her eyes and she tried to block it away. The image of Yuhi saying such sweet things to her, the image of him saying he loves her and the sensation whenever he does anything to her. But unfortunately she couldn't erase the image from her head.

She had to open her eyes knowing that Yuhi would do more if she kept quiet.

If she doesn't open her eyes, he would take that as an agreement right? The thought that she wants to become one with this person has crossed her mind several times. Yet Sumire always hesitated. She loves him, she has loved him for a very long time but she cant.

No matter how much one loves another person, there are boundaries that one cannot cross. The previous two times aside, she knew she would not be able to summon courage the third time. ”Yuhi-san..” She mumbled softly and gestured with her hands to stop.

”Sorry.” Yuhi slowly sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. ”That was too forward of me.”

”I dont dislike honest guys.” Sumire mumbled.
