Chapter 262: 261 If

"If I were like Ru or that person, Yuhi would you hate me?"

At that comment he does not say anything.

"Alright you come over here." Sumire disliked that he sat so far from her. What is he doing staying so far away?

"Pfft, if you want me to sit closer just say so." 

"Yuhi-san, I will have you know I am not in the mood for jokes." she trails off when he shifted closer to her. He kissed a strand of her hair. "Or anything affectionate either." 

"I know Sumire." 

Why does he know? It really isn't fair sometimes.

Yuhi and Atushi must have planned all of that. After all, the only ones who know about her bad sleeping habits are those close to her.. As well as Yuhi and Soujiro, the latter would never blab about such matters to anyone no matter who it is. However, if it's Yuhi, he would tell Atushi without hesitation. Even now she still doesn't understand the relationship between those two very well. If you can call it a friendship at all.

For those two to be in such good terms, it's quite an illogical turn of events. Atushi never got along well with Arashi-senpai and the two had quite the rivalry so it surprised 

"Having overwhelming desires that only plunge the world around you into misery. Or restraining yourself so much that you suffer endlessly. For it to be either that or something else. It's scary, isn't it? But what's even scarier is that. .. " she trails off, her gaze landed on the pitch-black skies. " I'm conscious of the fact that I myself harbor a terrible seed of desire. And that I have the power to fulfill it. " 

"Don't say things like that man would say." 

Sumire sensed how troubled he was so she asked him. "Have I become like him?" 

"I sometimes think you have, only sometimes." 

"That must mean that I have gotten old." 

Right if she is starting to talk like master, then it simply means that she has gotten old. Then again she is eighteen in two days, in two years she would legally be an adult.

. . . . " 

"Why aren't you saying anything I wonder. .. Could it be, Yuhi you really thought that and that's why you didn't do anything more than kiss me earlier?" 

"No that's not." Yuhi trailed off. "Well, honestly that stuff does not bother me."

That stuff? Does he mean her getting old- then again he is older than her. Sometimes she forgets that since they act so naturally around each other.

"Dummy that's not what she meant. I just don't think it's right now. I'm sorry, perhaps even now I still have some lingering feelings. There is still pain in my heart whenever I think of him." 

"I know, I get that way sometimes too when I look up at the sky. That moron was the one who left you with this heavy burden in the first place. There are many things I can't say. But you have to realize, everything I do is for your sake." 

She knows that all too well Yuhi. The brunette wrapped her arms around his neck and brushed her lips there gently biting the soft skin. Yuhi. She loves him, she loves him so much. It's strange. She never thought that she would fall in love with someone this much; and now that she has, her actions, words, and everything else she's believed in has become muddled up. She becomes dizzy with thoughts of this person. 

…...

After kissing for a good few minutes, he pulled her onto his lap. "Yuhi?" 

"Get some sleep. You've been so busy these past few days that you haven't been able to sleep much, have you? No matter how monstrous like or strong your body is, you need to rest, you know?" 

A soft chuckle escaped her lips."A monster like is too much." She trailed off. "Say Yuhi? What are you doing out here anyway?"

"I thought it would be interesting to read some fascinating literature under the moonlight."

"Ah-huh, but you didn't bring a book out with you?"

"No need, I have the story memorized." 

"Normally I wouldn't mind listening to you talk but tonight I would rather things remain this way." She was in an odd mellow mood. 

"I can tell, you're not even quoting Shakespeare tonight."

"Do you want me to?" 

"Well it is strange but this is fine too." Yuhi caressed her hair. "Are you comfortable?"

"This way I can see your face and the stars so yes."

Yuhi chuckled. "You're way too honest."

"Say Yuhi, are you really okay with it?" Despite her vague words, Sumire understood that he would get it.

Yuhi did not reply right away but suddenly sat her up, and pulled her into his arms. "Truthfully, it scares me a little."

"You're frightened?"

"Yes, I am. What if you decide one day that I am not good enough to look after him?"

"That won't happen."

"Then what if you decide to do something stupid like self-sacrifice? What if you think you're getting in the way of my career and future by tying me down?"

Her eyes widened when she heard those words. Did Yuhi hear that from Sano? Indeed when Sano said those words to her she thought the same. But why does Yuhi think that way?

"You know I talked about it with Hino, and he told me that you would think this way."

So Hino figured it out? Of course he would. She did not know him for very long but he seemed to naturally understand things about her based on observation alone.

"Was he right?"

Sumire wished she could cover her face and hide away but it was difficult since Yuhi would not let her go. His hold around her waist tightened as he asked her that.

"Yes."

"Hah, I wish he was wrong or at least lie about it. You know I dislike the idea of you leaving me even more so if you still have feelings for me."

The two of them have never spoken about the feelings she has for him. Unlike Yuhi she is not that open about it, and says everything indirectly. But for some reason, Yuhi already knew how much she liked him. 

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah, don't ever think such things again. Like I told you I built this empire in the music world for your sake. It will mean nothing to me if you're not by my side." Yuhi mumbled. "Besides, I am looking forward to it."

"Looking forward to it?"

"The day you can sing by my side properly. It was fun, wasn't it? Singing together back then? There was no stage and it was just a small karaoke joint but it was a lot of fun for me."

Her eyes widened when she heard those words. Yuhi...he enjoyed it that much? All this time she thought it was just her. She thought it was just her who felt the rush of emotions at that time. So they both thought the same thing? There was also that song. This person has treasured her for such a long time. But what did she do in return? 

She spent so much time trying to forget him saying useless things like she did not deserve him. 

"Also, I think I could be a good parent."

Sumire deeply sighed. "How are you so certain? He is my child but even I have doubts."

"For one maybe you should think of a name."

"Correction, we think of a name. If you're raising him with me then you're responsible too."

Yuhi chuckled. "Indeed that is true. Mm, but I'm bad at names."

"Useless."

"I can be useful in other areas…"

Sumire swiftly moved away from him before he could do anything. "My birthday, I will spend it here so we should start planning."

"Well, you don't have to worry about that."

So he already made plans? "Then I suppose I have to trust you there."
