SHIN

"What have you, done?"
"What happened? Did Shin just...kiss me?"

"What have you done Kuroiwa?!"
"I saw...something...I saw Shouto-kun...Was it real?"

"KUROIWA!"

Aoi's shoulders shook, hid her face as Shouto raised his voice. He was very furious, but I already expected it. His hands curled into fists smoking with heat and cold. His thoughts full of questions and urges to kill me right here, right now. But it didn't make me feel afraid. I was actually trying my best not to smile and laugh at him in the face.

And I'm trying my best not to kill him as well.

Aoi raised her head to look at Shouto once again. Her mind felt blank. Her heart sinking lower and lower. Her knees wobbled and her balance left her. Before she could fall down the floor, I held her waist and pressed her close to me.

She would've pulled away but she's too weak to do so. She would've screamed but the lump in her throat stopped her. She would've defended herself but the words swirling in her mind couldn't make up a single sentence.

"Oh, Shou-kun" I spoke in a mocking tone, using the nickname Aoi gave him once. "Are you done taking a bath?"

His rage skyrocketed. Frost started spreading from his right leg and his left leg started smoking. I couldn't stop myself from smirking. Why are you so mad Shouto?

Meanwhile, Aoi felt disgusted by what happened. She could still the ghost of my lips. I could still feel it too but I'm just so good at pretending. She felt dirty and awful.

Then she saw remembered it.

She remembered the Shouto saying those words.

"I don't love Kiseki Aoi."

Her heart suddenly clutched so tight that she couldn't breathe. Tears welled up from her eyes and she pushed me away. I let her ran upstairs.

"Aoi!" Shouto called out but her sobs covered his voice. He was gonna follow her strode towards him and grabbed his arm.

He glared at me intently, as if it would scare me. His arm felt so cold that I wouldn't be surprised if I'd get a frostbite.

"You said you don't love Aoi." I stated. "So why are you so mad? Why are you so jealous?"

His expression changed. And his mind went blank. I stopped my urge to sigh, so instead I smiled.

"I'm going to take a bath now. Please watch over Aoi." I stated calmly as if the guy infront of me won't burn me alive while half of my body was freezing to death.

I went inside the bathroom, leaving them alone.

Now, what would Shouto do?

AOI

"Ah!"

I pulled my toothbrush away from my mouth and gargled water. I saw blood as I spit it out. I looked up at the mirror of my bathroom. My bloodshot eyes streamed uncontrollable tears. My hair tangled messily and wet on my face. I wiped my tears and pulled my hair away from it.

Why? Why am I crying? Is it because of Shin? Is it because I feel so disgusted and awful? Is it because that he kissed me even though he knows that I'm engaged to someone else? Or is it because of Shouto-kun? Is it because he looked so furious that it made me scared? Is it because of what I saw?

What did I saw? Was that an illusion? A memory? Was it real?

I don't know I don't know! I don't know anymore! I'm tired of being like this! I'm tired of being confused all the time. I'm tired of not knowing anything!

"Just stop crying damnit!" I slammed the mirror with my hand, making it break into pieces. I pulled my hand back, looking at the gash of wound and blood flowing from it. It didn't hurt but it made me cry more. My knees fell onto the ground and I cried unstoppably.

"Aoi, what are you doing?!" I heard his voice. How did he get inside? I swore I locked the doors.

He pulled me closer and pulled my hand with the palm facing up.

"What happened?" I couldn't see his face but his voice sounded so concerned.

"Can you stand up?" He asked again, but I couldn't say a word. I kept on sobbing like a stupid, idiotic and useless child.

So he carried me in princess style instead. He lay me down my bed. Then he went to my wardrobe and took some towels or something. I kept on sobbing and crying.

"Does it hurt?" I shook my head.

I still didn't stop crying even when he wrapped a towel around my hand and wiped my tears. He also checked my legs to see if there was some scratch but still I didn't stop freaking crying.

He finally decided to sit me up the bed and rest my head on his chest.

"I know you're confused right now. I'm sorry that I got angry a while ago. I was not angry at you, please know that." He whispered gently in my ear.

I hugged Shouto-kun tightly.

He caressed my hair gently as I cried. It felt very calming actually. All my frustrations, all the confusions, everything felt like it was washed away by my tears.

I didn't know how long it took for me to finally calm down. Shouto-kun's shirt got soaked by my tears but he doesn't seem to be bother him. He just kept on caressing my hair. Then he spoke.

"I'm really sorry about what happened a while ago, Aoi. I got so angry."

I bit my lip. I wanted to say it was okay but I was afraid.

"It was stupid of me. I didn't realize that I was jealous."

My eyes widen.

"My jealousy turned to anger. I almost hurt Kuroiwa or even you. I'm so sorry. I know I had no right. I am not your boyfriend after all.

"If you choose to be with Kuroiwa, it's okay. I'll understand. It's your choice Aoi-"

"I like you!" I stated loudly, looking at Shouto-kun.

Oh God, what did I just say?

Shouto-kun's heterochromatic eyes looked at me with surprise.

"I l-like Shouto-kun not Shin... I want to be with-"

Then I felt his warm lips against mine.

Shouto-kun kissed my lips deeply, holding each side of my face. It sent flutters inside my stomach. I closed my eyes. My heart started beating erratically. I started kissing him back. My hands held the back of his head, running my fingers through his hair.

He kissed me deeper, pushing me down the bed with him ontop of me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

I guess I was wrong. I don't like Shouto-kun. I love him.

And he feels the same too.

His lips left mine and went down to my jaw. I gasped, feeling the wild zoo in my stomach. Then he started kissing my neck, nibbling it. It made me grab his hair tightly. It felt so good that I wanted more.

Then he started licking a spot in my neck, and sucked it. My mouth gave off a foreign sound. I bit my lip, feeling embarrassed about it. But when he bit the spot my voice couldn't stop itself.

Then everything stopped.

He suddenly stopped and pulled himself away. I opened my eyes and looked at him. We were both catching our breaths. He was blushing so hard while staring deep into my eyes.

He sat up at the side of the bed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." He trailed off.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I..." Shouto-kun looked down with his bangs covering his eyes. I saw the same painful expression I saw before. It made me remember something that I wished I've forgotten.

"I don't love Kiseki Aoi."

"I had a girlfriend. And I still love her."

What?

My vision suddenly got blurry. But my tears weren't falling. My heart started feeling light and my head got heavy.

"Hey~ Robot. I'm sorry it took 3 days for me

to visit you. You're not the only one injured

What is this?

after all. Did you know how long it took for

me to be able to get out of bed after being

Who?

healed by Recovery Girl? Yours is a hundred

times better. It doesn't tire me out.

I don't understand...

Hahahahah"

"Hahahah..."

What is this?

"Aoi...I"

"I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect you."

Make it stop

"You idiot. Why are you so selfless? Don't you

know how important you are to me? Of course

Make it stop..!

how would you know, you're not like me. You

wouldn't know."

Make it stop...!

"You wouldn't know and you might never know"

It hurts!!

"But don't worry.

Once you wake up

Once you are ready"

Just please make it stop!!

"I will tell you everything"
