Eternal Melody

Chapter 200 - Something Different

Indeed it seems like something happened between them in the past. Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi brushed his hand across her forehead. "I think you need some milk not coffee."

Sumire blinked. "Uh…"

"Or maybe juice? Grapefruit?"

"Yuhi-san I am not a child—"

"Grapefruit is good for you." Yuhi nodded. He turned to Rein. "Get her some grapefruit instead."

Rein looked at her with wide eyes. "Wait is she—"

At that comment, Yuhi nodded. "Yeah."

"Yuhi you work fast.." Rein almost looked impressed.

Sumire wanted to say something but she felt it would ruin Yuhi's reputation among his friends. She is pregnant with another man's child and yet she is still shamelessly clinging to Yuhi like this. What terrible behavior. She ought to let him go, but her gaze fell on Yuhi who slipped his hand on top of hers. It is difficult for her to do that since not only is he attached to her but she is attached to him too.

"Sumire? Are you okay? You're a bit quiet."

"Ah well…"

She isn't good around strangers. This Rein person doesn't seem like a bad guy. But she still felt weird about all of this. Yuhi must have understood since he squeezed her hand.

"It's fine."

Rein rolled his eyes. "Ibuki-san please rest assured, the only person you have to be wary about is Yuhi. He is the most suspicious person here."

She raised her eyebrow at that comment. "Yuhi is?"

"I don't know how much you know but this guy is very dangerous."

Yuhi sighed. "Well, I think she already knows about it."

Sumire nodded. Of course, she knew. Actually, from the moment she met him that snowy day several years ago, she sensed something different. A powerful and strong aura.

When Rein left to go to the kitchen to make the pies. Sumire finally relaxed. Yuhi kissed her lips softly and pulled back.

"Rein is a nice guy, don't worry about him."

"I can see that." She sighs. "I know it's weird and rude of me. But I just don't feel comfortable."

"Nobody finds it strange, so you can relax." He trailed off. "So, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Going to school?"

"We have a holiday, a small one for a few days."

Sumire blinked. She didn't hear about this but then again she still hasn't read the information pack from the school. With all the events that happened since she arrived in Tokyo, it was difficult for her to concentrate on school.

"Relaxing with Yuhi?"

His lips curve to a smile. "Yeah I was thinking the same. Cuddling in bed all day, maybe going on a few walks. But at night we can do something like this again."

"Something like this?" Sumire repeated puzzled.

"Yeah." Yuhi was still smiling and yet she felt oddly nervous.

No, not nervous but self-conscious.

Watching him now Sumire realized that she didn't know much about Yuhi. No, the things she knew about him were rather superficial. She knew the basic information that a fan has. Back when they were partners and he was a member of the same underground organization as her, she didn't ask him about his hobbies or anything. After all they faced life and death jobs every single day. They didn't have the luxury to get to know each other like they did now. But despite that Yuhi seemed to know everything about her.

Sumire always wondered why that was. Why does this person know all these things about her? Why does he know her better than herself?

….

Like Yuhi suggested they spend most of the day cuddling, making out and other things - basically flirting all day. Taking her out on strolls and having romantic meals. During the night it was different, they would go to different areas in town and have fun. Sumire didn't realize so many things were open at night here. Tokyo is completely different from Star Town. Here nightlife doesn't just consist of going to bars and the occasional twenty-four hour open restaurant. There is so much to see here and Sumire looked at her surroundings. When the lights are all lit up like this, the town looks completely different.

So beautiful..

Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi appeared with a drink in his hands. He passed one to her. "Sorry to keep you waiting, the line was long."

"It's okay." She extended her hand out and brushed a leaf away from his hair.

Yuhi laughed. "Well I see nature is attracted to me."

"Stupid."

"You still okay?" Yuhi asked.

They slept a lot during the day but Yuhi seemed to think it wasn't enough. For the past few hours he kept asking her whether she was okay. Sumire didnt think it was necessary though but he is strangely fussy these days. Her gaze fell on her stomach. It must be because of this child, if she counts the days then she ought to give birth soon.

"Not okay."

Yuhi wrapped his arms around her waist and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "What about now?"

"No."

Recently something else has changed too. She would lie and tell him she wasn't okay, so he would give her more kisses. This agreement happened a few nights ago when she randomly said that his kisses healed her. Since that time Yuhi kisses her a lot more.

It seemed like he wanted to do this the entire time. But he needed some kind of excuse. Sumire sighs against his lips. An excuse huh? Why does either of them have to search for an excuse just to kiss? It made little sense to her. She ran her hands on his chest.

This blissful moment is interrupted by the sound of a group of people shouting. "Go get a room."

Sumire pulled away and looked down nervously.

Yuhi sighs. "I already have one." He called back. "But it is on the other side of town."

Sumire hits his arm hearing his serious reply and he laughs.

"Don't believe me darling?"

"I believe you." Sumire mumbled. This is the pattern from the last few days and knowing Yuhi, he won't deviate from it.

She still doesn't know how to feel about him openly expressing his desires for her. It still felt strange to her knowing that he wants her as much as she wants him.
