"... you want to have sex...?" Izana softly asks. You slowly nod. He furrows his eyebrows and looks off into the distance. "I- uh..." He looks back at you. "Why do you want to have sex...? I mean... I want to fuck you too but... so sudden?"
You furrow your eyebrows and look down at your bed. "Never mind." You huff, laying back down.
"No- no..." He pushes you over onto your back, climbing on top of you. He looks all over you and then stops at your eyes. You quickly sit up and begin kissing him. He kisses you back. You rub your hands up and down his neck then slowly down his torso. He shivers a bit to your touch. You grab at his pants waist line. He pulls away a bit, staring you in the eyes. You pause and stare back at him. He furrows his eyebrows and pulls away.
"Why are you rushing it?" He asks.
"What do you mean?" You ask. He shakes his head and stands up, adjusting his shirt. He turns away and walks out the room. You stand up quickly and follow behind him.
"What's wrong?" You ask. He stops at the door, holding the door knob. He slowly looks at you and takes a deep breath.
"Do you like me... or do you just want to have sex with me?"
"Huh..." You furrow your eyebrows. His grip tightens around the door and he furrows his eyebrows.
"Do you even like me...?" He asks. Your eyes widen and then relax. You slowly look down at the door. "... I like you..." He softly says. You quickly look back up at him. "... but I don't feel like you feel the same-" He says pulling the door open, slowly making his way down the stairs. You quickly walk towards the door.
"Izana..."
"I'm not something to be used-" He walks out the back. You watch as the downstairs gets dark when the door closes behind him. You stand still staring down the darkness. You take a deep breath and turn away, clenching onto your shirt sleeve. You close the door and then flop down on the couch. You shriek into the couch cushion.
"Hey... Emma..." Mikey softly says, pushing her door open. She slowly looks up at him. He stares at her with a disgusted look on his face. "What the hell... are you wearing makeup?" He says in a disgusted tone. She sighs and places her makeup down and glares at him.
"What do you want?" She sighs. He furrows his eyebrows and walks into her room, sitting down on her bed.
"Can you make me something to eat?" He softly asks. Emma relaxes her eyes and slowly glares at Mikey.
"No..." She huffs. Mikey groans, stretching out on her bed. Emma picks up her makeup and continues.
"Are you doing your makeup for your date with Draken...?" Mikey asks. Emma furrows her eyebrows. She slowly blushes.
"Mm..."
"You know... you don't have to wear all that makeup- I'm sure Draken will think you're pretty no matter what." He softly says. Emma slowly looks at Mikey who's staring off at her ceiling.
"Mikey..."
"Mm?"
"Does Draken like me too?" Emma asks. Mikey slowly looks at Emma and smiles a bit.
"I'm not going to tell you that." He bubbles. She glares at him and then looks back to her makeup. Staring at the mirror in front of her. "... Do you think Yuki likes me?" Mikey softly asks. Emma's eyes widen. She looks at Mikey.
"... Mikey." He stares at her. "If you like her so much... then why haven't you told her?" She asks.
"I don't think she likes me-" He answers looking back up at the ceiling. "Like what you said the other day... It's not even just Izana... there's Chifuyu... Baji... Mitsuya. I can't tell who it is she likes."
"You wouldn't know if you don't ask." Emma softly replies. Mikey furrows his eyebrows. "You should hurry up before she moves."
"Huh... She's moving?"
"Mhm..." Emma hums.
"To where?"
"She didn't say... all she said was the mountains."
"Why?"
"Stuff that's happening with her grandparents or whatever. She never really said anything too much... only that she's thinking about what she wants but- she hasn't said what she was going to do yet."
"Oh."
"Honestly... I was really happy to make a girl friend." Emma softly says, wiping off the makeup. "But... I think she should move to the mountains."
"Why?" Mikey questions.
"... I can tell she's going through a lot- Draken mentioned it when you and her left. I had told him that she might be moving. He said that moving would be good for her. She has a lot on her plate and if she stays I believe it won't be good for her. I think she should go live away from everything for a while... to rest- you know?" She softly says.
"But what if she doesn't come back...?" Mikey asks. "You would be okay with that?"
"I don't think she wouldn't come back... she doesn't seem like that- but then I don't know... either way I would prefer her to be happy." Emma says, wiping the lipstick off her lips. "If you love Yuki- you would chose what's right."
Mikey's eyes widen and then soften.
You sit across from Hikari, staring down at the food in front of her.
"Don't you have exams soon?" She muffles with food in her mouth. "Cause I do..."
"I'm not in school." You softly say.
"Oh yea..." She says with her cheeks full of food. She looks at you and furrows her eyebrows and then swallows her food. "Are you still sulking about that boy?" She says narrowing her eyes at you. You slowly look at her.
"... I've been thinking about your question."
"Okay... and?" She questions while spooning rice into her mouth. She grabs her chopsticks adjusting them in her hand and then ripping a piece of fish and stuffing it into her mouth.
"How did you know you wanted to be with Shinichiro forever?" You ask. Her eyes widen and she swallows her food.
"Well..." She furrows her eyebrows and looks down at her fish, splitting it again and placing it on top of her rice. "I felt really happy when I was around him... like I always thought about him... and I always had this bubbly feeling when I was around him. Every little compliment or smile he gave me made me blush." She giggles.
You smile a bit and look down at the table. You squeeze your hands when you think about Mikey. You smile thinking about it.
"Have you figured out how you feel?" Hikari asks. You smile at her.
"I think-"
BZZZ BZZZ
You look at your phone. It's Emma. You furrow your eyebrows, grabbing your phone.
"Hello?" You say into the phone.
"Hey Yuki... I'm sorry to be calling you so randomly... but can you meet up with me?" Emma says into the phone.
"Sure, but what for?"
"I will tell you when you get here..."
The phone hangs up. You get a message of the address. You stare at your phone then up at Hikari who has her cheeks full again.
"You may go..." She muffles.
"Thank you." You smile and get up, walking towards the door. She quickly swallows the food and looks at you as you put your shoes on.
"Tell him how you feel... I'm sure he likes you back." She softly says. You smile and rush out the door.
You quickly make it to where Emma invited you to come.
"Why are we here?" You ask.
"I wanted you to join us..." She softly says.
"Oh... Okay..."
"Hi-hi!" Hina says with a smile on her face. You smile at Hina.
"Wait so... there was no importance?" You question.
"What do you mean?" Emma asks.
"I thought you invited me for an emergency or something." You sigh.
"No... I just wanted to hang out."
"Ah... I see-"
"Hey Yuki." A voice says from beside you. You turn around to see Draken.
"Hi Draken." Emma bubbles. Your eyes drift towards Mikey who is smiling at you. Your heart flutters. You furrow your eyebrows and look forward.
"Alright... let's go..." Emma says walking into the mall. Draken walks beside her and Hina does too. You walk slowly behind. Your body feels hot and your hands tickle a bit.
"Hi Yuki." Mikey says smiling at you. You look at him, your breath caught by surprise.
"Hi- Mikey." You softly reply. He smiles more and looks forwards.
"I think they will work out..."
"Huh?" You look at what he's looking at. You see Emma walking close to Draken, smiling up at him. Your face softens when you see them. So cute...
"You are right though..." He softly laughs.
"Huh... What do you mean?" You ask, looking back at him.
"I do feel a bit jealous... Draken has been talking about Emma lot. Once they get together- I can see him hanging out with her way more then me." He softly says. You look back at the both of them.
"Mmm..."
"Yuki-"
"Hm?" You hum, looking back at him.
"Remember what you asked me that day... after we left from the icecream shop?"
"Mhm..."
"Well-" he takes a deep breath. You clench your fists wanting to tell him how you feel. "I think we should just be friends." Your eyes widen as you slowly look at him.
"...huh?"
"I don't want to think of things like that- I mean... love is a strong word- with a lot of responsibility... and- I don't think it's something I should be worrying about." he softly says. "Does that make sense?"
Your face goes blank and your feelings completely disappear. Your heart starts to hurt and your throat feels tight as you try not to tear up and cry.
"Yuki?" Mikey moves his face closer to yours, you slowly look back at him. "Do you understand?"
"Yeah. I understand." You slowly nod. "I think we should catch up to Emma and them." You slowly say.
"Right." Mikey says calmly. He walks faster to catch up to Emma. You clench your fists.
A love that's not fake...
... what a barefaced lie!
