"... wha- what?" You stare up at Izana, shocked by his words. He looks away from you, almost like he's embarrassed. Your eyebrows furrow and you clench onto your dress, standing up with your phone in your hand. "You can't say strong words like that if you don't mean it." You clench onto your dress and Izana frowns. His eyes dart towards yours and his face begins to look more upset.
"I meant what I said." He says in a low tone. You stare at him, unable to tell if he means it or not. You shake your head and toss your phone onto your bed.
"You can go home now Izana..." You say in a sad tone. He shakes his head and walks over to you.
"Are you that upset with me?" Izana says in a panicked tone.
"Just go home Izana."
"No- please talk to me." Izana grabs your wrist, trying to make you face him but you yank away, causing the both of you to fall down on the bed together. You squeeze your eyes shut when you fall down and then slowly open them. Your eyes widen when you see Izana on top of you.
"Get off..." You huff as you try to push him off of you.
"No. Stop Yuki. Just listen to me." He grabs your hands and pushes them down on the bed. You glare back up at him. "Don't look at me like that."
"What do you want to say..." You ask, frowning a bit. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes a bit. Then he slowly opens them.
"I didn't say I love you just because... I meant what I said... At first I didn't care about you... Yeah- I wanted to use you to defeat Mikey. Yeah I saw you as a girl to toy with but- you treated me nicely and welcomed me in not knowing anything about me. I felt accepted... I felt like I could be loved by someone..." His eyes start tearing up. Your eyes slowly widen and your heart starts to get heavy. "You made me believe that... that love isn't fake. That someone can actually love me." He frowns a bit and droops his head. "I know I messed up... I'm sorry. But please... don't leave me."
Your eyes widen. He's being sincere but you don't really know how to exactly feel.
"Izana..."
"I'll quit Tenjiku... I'll be better... Please- don't give up on me."
Your eyes soften then close. He stares at you hoping that you would give a response. He leans closer and closer to you.
"Love is a strong word Izana..." You softly say.
"I love you Yuki..."
You frown a bit. A part of you feels warmth in his sincere words but also envy. You wanted someone else to say these words to you. You bite your lip and look away from Izana, staring at the phone on your bed. You turn your head towards him and wipe the tear forming in his eye, then your finger travels down his cheek, stopping at the corner of his lip. Now looking at him, you never noticed how pretty he is.
"You're pretty." You softly say. His eyes slowly widen. "Do you actually... like me?"
"A lot."
You let go of his face and lay there staring up at him. He leans in closer to you and gently brushes his lips against yours. Unsure whether he should proceed, he does anyway. He softly kisses you. You kiss him back.
Small kisses turn into long kisses. He pulls you closer to him, resting you on his lap. He rubs his hand up your back and gently kisses down your neck. You make soft and small noises as he runs his fingers underneath the back of your bra. The feeling of him touching you makes you feel hot.
BEEP BEEP
Your eyes widen when you hear the sound of a phone call ending. You quickly look towards your phone. You pull away from Izana's arms and grab your phone, your back facing him. You grab your phone to see your call log. But Izana presses against you from behind causing you to let go of your phone. He kisses the back of your neck. You squirm a bit feeling his hand rub up your waist.
"The other day you asked me a question..." He softly says.
"Huh?" You try to look back at him but he nuzzles his face into your neck. Your eyes widen a bit when you feel his lips move, almost like he's smiling.
"Let's have sex..." He softly says in your ear. He pushes himself off of you and begins to unbutton his pants. You slowly turn around to see Izana staring at you. He leans in and kisses you on the lips, pushing you down on your back and lifting up your leg. You feel your heart race and your face begins to feel hot. He traces his fingers down your thigh and pushing them up underneath your dress stopping at your panty line. He positions himself and moves them to the side, pushing himself inside you. He closes his eyes and continues kissing you as he thrusts in in out of you.
It hurt with a mixture of heat and pressure. You felt like you were in a daze. Maybe it was because of how old he was but he felt a lot bigger then what you're used to.
The night went on for a bit and you fall asleep right after.
The light shines in from the window and you sit at the edge of your bed staring down at your phone. You squeeze your phone, staring at your contact list.
Mikey was the last person to call you. You furrow your eyebrows and your heart begins to hurt. Did he hear the conversation you and Izana had last night?
BZZZZ BZZZZ
You stare at your phone seeing Emma calling you. You take a deep breath, holding the phone up to your ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey... are you busy?" Emma asks. You look behind you to see a sleeping Izana.
"Why?"
"Well um... I wanted to talk to you and I also wanted you to help me with the date thing... I'm kinda nervous with hanging out with Draken... and I wanted you to give me prep talk before the day... You know-" Emma softly says. You furrow your eyebrows and take a deep breath. "Plus... Hina has been kinda busy- so you're the only person I'm able to ask."
"Mmm..."
"Plleeaaaaseeee... Yuki-" She pleads. You sigh and nod.
"Okay. I'll come over in a bit."
"AHHH THANK YOU YUKI! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!" She shouts into the phone. You flinch and pull your face away from the phone. She hangs up the phone and sends you a message.
Emma: I'll wait for you bestie! =＾● ⋏ ●＾=
You: Yeah. See you in a bit :)
You sigh and place your phone down, rubbing your eyes. Izana wraps his arms around you and kisses you on the cheek.
"I have to go meet up with Kakucho. I will talk to you later... okay?~" He softly bubbles. You smile and nod. After he leaves, you clean yourself and slowly put clothes on. After you finish dressing you make your way out the bakery.
After walking a bit, you arrive at Emma's house. You take a deep breath and reach for your phone but then you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn your head to see Emma.
"Hi!" Emma bubbles. She hugs you tightly and smiles. You smile back at her.
The two of you sit in her room. She's going through her closet and takes a deep breath as she places a small box in front of you. You stare down at the box and she softly smiles.
"You mentioned something about Izana last time we spoke..." Emma says opening up the box. "It's funny because I haven't heard of that name in a while... so when you first said it... it shocked me." She smiles. "You've been hanging out with him a lot lately... haven't you?" She asks, looking up at you. You sit still, furrowing your eyebrows a bit not giving an answer. She smiles and opens the box to show you two necklaces. They both have infinity signs at the bottom.
"I wanted to show you this." She smiles, holding it up to show you. You hold the bottom of the necklace in her hand.
"They both have an infinity sign at the bottom of them."
"Mhm..." Emma slowly nods her head.
"Mmm" You hum, looking up at her. She nods and smiles more. She unclips the necklace and holds it out to put it on you. "Huh?"
"Let me put it on you." She bubbles.
"Put it on me? I thought that was for Draken..." You softly say. She shakes your head.
"I've seen girls at my school who are best friends and are wearing matching stuff. I wanted to match with you..." She smiles. "Because you are my best friend!"
Your eyes widen and a smile grows on your face. You lean forward allowing her to put the necklace around your neck. She smiles as she adjusts it. She grabs the other one, trying to put it around her neck. You help her.
"Hehe... We match." She bubbles as she holds the bottom of the necklace.
RIIIING RIIIING
Emma slowly looks towards her phone and flips it open to see who is calling her. She answers and puts the phone up to her ear.
"Hi~" She's smiling a lot more. She looks back towards you and tilts her head to the side, smiling more. "I'm just hanging out with my bwest friend!" Emma bubbles, blushing a bit. "Huh? Why...? I just kinda wanted to hang out with Yuki..." She looks back at you with a straight face. "I mean yeah... I would- like... to hang out with you- you both. But-" She takes a deep breath and nods. "Yeah... I will ask her." She pulls the phone away from her face and looks at you. "Yuki... Draken wants to know if it's okay if we went with them." You smile and tilt your head a bit. Emma raises an eyebrow.
"You wanna see Draken... don't you?" You tease.
"Huh! N-NO! I-... I was just asking you because it's the polite thing to do." She says flushing a bit.
"Sure... we can go." You smile. She slowly nods.
The two of you meet up where Draken is at. Mikey is with him too. When you see Mikey your heart begins to hurt. When they notice the two of you approaching them, Draken pushes himself from off the railing and smiles at the both of you while Mikey looks away when he sees you.
"Hey Emma." He says softly smiling at Emma. "Hi Yuki." He calmly says, looking at you.
"Hi." You softly smile.
"Are you two ready?" Draken asks.
"I'm ready." Emma smiles.
"Ready for what?" You ask.
"The movie." Draken replies.
"Oh- sure." You slowly reply. Draken nods and motions you two to walk in front of him. Emma holds on to your hand and slowly skips with you.
Once you two reach the movie theaters, Emma and Mikey head to get snacks while you stand with Draken as he pays for the movie tickets.
"You should have just invited Emma to the movies." You softly say.
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Draken asks, handing the lady money.
"I mean... you like her- wouldn't it be more romantic if it were just the two of you." You softly continue. Draken sighs and then smiles.
"Trying to play matchmaker..."
"Hm?"
"I've noticed it since the arcade that you've been trying to set me and Emma up." He smiles, leaning towards you a bit. "Does Emma... like me?" He asks. You furrow your eyebrows and tilt your head.
"Why would I tell you if she does or not- If she did... I would keep it a secret." You say looking away.
"Mmmhm." Draken smiles and carefully takes the tickets from the lady. "Thank you." He bows a bit.
"I'm only playing matchmaking because I think you two would be cute together." You smile. Draken looks at you and then laughs a bit.
"Mmm." He turns and the two of you walk towards Mikey and Emma. He stops walking and looks at you. "By the way Yuki... I have a question." Draken asks. You stop walking and look back towards Draken.
"Hm?"
"Speaking of liking... Do you like Izana Kurokawa?"
