187 The right to express themselves (1/2)
There was a brief moment of silence. For the next few minutes, Sumire felt tense. Was it a bad idea to say that?
Yuhi never told her specifically that she was the one he was waiting for this entire time, maybe she misunderstood? But she understood from his words and actions alone. This person has always thought of her.
”Hey Yuhi, I have an idea.”
..
”Drawing on the old school building walls, you sure are bold,” Yuhi commented as he placed the last bucket of paint down. He took a seat on the stool beside her.
Yes, this was her idea to paint on the walls of the old school building. Now that Touko woman is back, Sumire understood that many people would doubt her place by Yuhis side. The only thing she can do to bypass that is to paint with Yuhi again, to work on another piece.
Sumire tilted her head confused. ”It's old, and nobody comes here anyway.”
”It is still part of the school grounds.”
She laughed softly. ”I wonder how long it will take before somebody realizes. Besides,” Sumire picked up the brush. ”Were you not the one who said that every artist has the right to express themselves?”
”Why do you remember something I said such a long time ago?”
”Well that's because I like you, of course, I will remember.”
At that comment, Yuhi looked down. His sudden silence made her curious, so she glanced over at him. Her eyes widened when she saw him blushing. Sumire grabbed hold of his shirt. ”Are you embarrassed because I said I like you?”
”Like hell.”
”That isn't it?”
Yuhi sighed deeply and flicked her forehead again. ”Quit being so cheeky; you already know how I feel about you.”
”Do I?”
”Damn you..”
”Besides, why are you hesitating? Arent you the genius painter Terashima Yuhi? I don't remember accepting the confession of such a boring guy.”
His eyes twitched, annoyed, and Yuhi pinched her cheeks. ”Brat, your talking like this even though your--” Yuhi paused when he looked over at the small part of the building she already painted. ”I can't even call you a normal person, damn.”
Sumire laughed at his reaction. ”Do I have your approval, Mr genius?”
”Of course you do.” Yuhi trailed off. ”I know your doing this to prove a point. But I find this exciting.”
”The thrill and danger of getting caught?”
Yuhi shook his head. ”More like painting with you is exciting.”
