Eternal Melody

Chapter 267 - Hidden Fears



"Uh Yuhi-san I asked for your opinion on the song, so what is this situation?"

Currently he had Sumire trapped in his arms as they laid down on the ground. "It's time for my nap."

Sumire deeply sighed. "You're so hopeless Yuhi-san. You're already a working individual, you can't act whimsical like this."

Well she makes a good point. But the nap thing aside he just wanted a legit excuse to hold her. Practicing self restraint is very hard and since she is so willing he can't just not do anything. This is already bad for his heart. Despite what it looks like to other people he is always nervous when he is with her.

She laughed. "But this is nice, you haven't held me in awhile."

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"I understand your just trying to treasure me properly so I cant blame you."

He wants her to know she is important, he wants her to understand that she means the world to him. But if he pounces on her non stop like some kind of animal, it would resemble his former relationships. Yuhi does not want her to think that is all he wants from her.

"Have you been sleeping? You look exhausted."

"Well, not as much. Coffee is my best friend lately."

Yuhi sighed deeply. "What is Atushi doing…"

"Taking care of my kid for me while I am working and at school, so don't give him a hard time."

Indeed they owe a lot to him. Atushi is still a student too and is going back and forth from Tsukuhara high school to Tokyo. But since the child was born he spends more time here in Tokyo than over there.

"Still I wonder if it is okay for the kid to live at the bar."

Sumire bit her lip, a troubled expression appeared on her face. "I have been thinking of that too. But your home is no good and mine isn't either.."

Since the published news article regarding their relationship, the media has increased their stalking. So far nobody has found out about the kid but if they take the child to either of their homes they will find out in no time. There has to be a solution.

You can't provide anything for her.

Sanos words echoed in his head and Yuhis gaze dimmed. Indeed at least when it comes to this matter he is still a child himself, let alone Sumire. She is handling it quite well so far but it won't be long now.

"Yuhi-san, you really won't do anything?"

"You want me to?"

"Kiss…"

This girl is driving him crazy. She needs to stop behaving this way otherwise all his efforts would go to waste. Yuhi brought his lips to her forehead and kissed her softly but she looked up.

"Yuhi.."

"No." Yuhi muttered. If he does this now he will behave unreasonably.

Sumire tried to break free from his hold with an angry look on her face. Is she that upset about it? Before she could break free from his arms he changed their position until he was on top of her. Yuhi leaned forward. "Cheeky brat." He muttered before he kissed her.

If a single kiss like this is all it takes to drive him crazy, what will happen if they do anything more? This is different from how it was several months ago. The feelings he has for Sumire are different and he loves her more than he did before.

Different huh? It is most likely because they have come to mutual understanding now.

....

"Sorry." Yuhi apologized. "I didn't think we would both end up sleeping."

"Its okay, we both needed to rest. Besides repainting walls isn't a punishment for me."

Indeed, it gets them away from the classroom and they can spend some more time together.

"Yuhi?"

"I want to do something unpleasant."

Sumire laughed. "This self restraint thing seems to be bad for you."

Hah, it really is bad. He cupped her cheeks and realized how red she was. "You always act calm but you're embarrassed too." He mumbled.

"That's my line, you have no idea how I feel whenever you kiss me."

Isn't she the one who asked for a kiss just now? Whenever he tries to hold back she attacks him. Sumire must have understood since she averted her gaze.

"I think I understand what Sano meant about having needs. I have needs too.."

He does not like the fact that she used Sano as an example but did she not just admit that she has desires for him? What does he do with her? She really is pretty.

His thoughts broke when somebody walked over. "Sumire, I'm free now. Do you still want to go?"

"Ah now? I'm in the middle of detention."

"Isn't it fine if one of you gets the work done?"

This person acting very hostile is none other than Iwa Ran. It looked like the man just returned from a photo shoot judging from his outfit. He went right here without getting changed. Was he in that much of a hurry to see Sumire?

"Go have fun, you wanted to buy a new guitar right?"

"I did but Yuhi-san we don't see each other often these days, I'm a bit reluctant to go."

Yuhi bent over and brushed his lips against her ear. "We can meet later, maybe a date?"

Sumire laughed softly. "Well it will have to be at the bar, movie night?"

"Sounds like a plan."

To his surprise Sumire suddenly buried her face in his arms and held him tightly. "You'll miss me right?"

He already misses her and she is still here. "I will but I will behave. Have fun."

Even to the last second it seemed like Sumire would turn around and come back but Iwa Ran pushed her away clearly irritated. The guys in Quatro Light huh? He understood why they were acting so hostile. Before Sumire came here he did not have the best reputation.

His thoughts broke off when somebody passed him a cold drink. "Aika."

"Your welcome."

"These are Sumires favourites."

"It was for her but that guy took her away." Aika trailed off. "Hey Yuhi, are you okay with that?"

"She can have male friends."

Despite what it would seem like he isn't that possessive. He wont freak out just because she speaks with the opposite gender. To be that controlling is no good.

"Male friends huh? There are rumors about her and Iwa Ran already. Those two are really close; it surprised me since Sumire is so cautious towards other people. Are you sure?"

Aikas words were exactly like a knife to him.

Since they came here he has been tolerating it. Sumire must miss her old friends, she must miss Star town. With the presence of Quatro Light here in Tokyo she won't be as homesick anymore. But at the same time he has pushed it to the back of his mind, his ugly feelings of jealousy.

Why would he be okay with her spending so much time with guys who clearly like her? Of course he isn't okay with it. But Yuhi is afraid to tell her.
