Chapter 40 - Like Orihime and Hikoboshi (1)

For the past few minutes, Lila looked at him from head to toe with those beautiful eyes of hers, filled with curiosity. He allowed her. One would generally question someone staring at them for so long, but since this is Lila. The person he loves, it's okay.

His lips, curved to a smile, seeing her face suddenly turned red before slowly nodding and spoke up, "I like this suit Kiryu."

His eyes widened silently before chuckling softly at the girls' words. So, that's what this was all about. Well, that is fine. Maybe, she has a suit fetish? The comment about his clothing, however, made his gaze wander onto the girl's clothes. Thinking it through, she usually wouldnt wear clothes like this.

"What's with this dress." he murmured against her ear, tugging on the edges.

"Do you think it looks cute on me Kiryu? Kouta-kun and everyone got it for me."

Hearing that, Kiryu didn't hesitate even a little." Take it off."

After all, "Kanehara got this for you solely."

Kiryu isn't stupid. If it were a group gift, it would lean more towards Hamano's tastes. But this isn't. He didn't think he'd have to worry about that guy. Kanehara seems harmless enough, harmless and responsible. That's why he told Akari to ask him to protect Lila. Then again, Akari would have most likely asked him, regardless.

He doesn't want to see her wearing a dress given to her by another man. Lila shyly nodded, in understanding and removed her clothing. Kiryu is speechless. Before him? Well, it's not like she has anything to hide. However the moment he got a slight glimpse of her skin, he felt his sweat falling. Eyes are burning with desire.

"..."

Kiryu easily made his mind up and tossed a blanket, covering her bare frame.

Lila seemed surprised, "Uwah? Um, Kiryu?"

"Change quickly." he murmured.

She looked at him confused, "..?"

He said nothing else and turned around.

She, she grew too quickly. Kiryu didn't expect that drastic of a changed. Thump Thump. Damn, his hearts beating too fast. To his surprise though, instead of getting changed. He felt the girls arms wrapped around him from the back.

"My Kiryu, do you not want to touch me?"

"...Stupid, what are you saying?"He scolded her, but he isn't angry. He doesn't know how to react to that comment of hers.

"Well, I don't get it myself. But apparently, I'm prettier now. You'd always pounce on me before, so I was wondering..."

Wondering about what?

What is she thinking? Even, if he did that before. They haven't seen each other in so long. He wouldn't try anything, for now. But, it's true that it's difficult for him to keep holding back, considering how she keeps staring at him.

"Maybe it's because I want to flirt."

"Aha. Time to flirt Kiryu?"

"Weren't we flirting all along?." he said with an amused smile.

Kiryu saw Lilas' eyes sparkle as a response to his words, cheeks flushed red, staring at their intertwined hands. He looked away. She need not be that happy about it. Once Lila is changed, he brought her over to the balcony. Lila's eyes sparkled more, cheeks flushed. As she shyly covers her mouth with her hand. A romantic candle night dinner. He's never done this with her before. So, he feels slightly awkward. Though when he realized that, he felt somewhat regretful. It's the kind of things Lila likes after all. He

places her on the chair and makes his way over to his seat.

He was only halfway over when he hears her exclaim, "Wahh, were too far apart Kiryu!!"

Far? She's only sitting across the table.

Seeing her puffed cheeks and the tears in his eyes, he walked back over and picked her up. But it has been a while; she probably doesn't want to be apart from him now.

"Comfortable madam?"

Lila cheerfully replied."En! Very!"

"So, how do we eat when we're like this?"

"Um um, idea!"

"Hmm?"

Lila shyly looked down before looking up with flushed cheeks."I feed you, and you feed me."

So, cute.

"Pfft, such simple and cute logic."

He has missed this; chatting and flirting with Lila like this. Since then, it feels like he hasn't been able to relax. Since she left his side, he's been distracting himself with constant work. Even, though he attends the president duties, he doesn't go to class since he's always tired though that's changing slightly, with Selia as his assistant.

Lila suddenly voiced out her concern, "My Kiryu, you look exhausted!"

Ah, he wondered when she would notice.

"I can't sleep properly without my cute Lila."

He says these words while brushing his fingers on her hair, "Kiryu, um, maybe instead of being silly. You can go to sleep for a bit?"

"No."

He's not wasting a single moment.

Lila shyly looks down, "Then, will you stop being silly?"

"Weren't you the one who said to touch? I'm doing exactly that."

Though, if he were, to be honest; he wants to do more than this. He wants to hold Lila in his arms over and over, to hear her call his name over and over. Kiryu brings his lips behind her ear, kissing it slowly. "Mmmmgh. ..."

Lila panicked at this action of his and frantically said, "Wah, my heart. Etto, Kiryu, um. The food might get cold."

"Just a second, I want to help you build resistance before you go back."

"Oh-um, I need that Kiryu."

"Mmm, you do."

She's way too defenseless; she's easy prey for someone like Karashima Haruka. "Unnn...."

For the next few minutes, all he could hear is Lila's cute moans.

Realizing that she was getting into it, he quickly pulled away. He's never seen her make such a face before. Lila shyly brought her hands to her face covering her red stained cheeks, "I got caught up in the flow and liked it Kiryu."

She's too honest.

He runs his hand through his silver locks, frustrated. "We can continue after dinner.." He wants to continue, and it's painful to stop. However, he doesn't want to ruin the moment. Knowing Lila, she most likely wants to cuddle and flirt more than sleep with him. That's fine; he doesn't dislike it either.

"O—Oh-oka--" Lila doesn't finish her sentence since her face exploded because of embarrassment.

Cute.

... .He bent down and kissed her again.

"Wahhhh!"

"Well, even I'll lose whatever control I have if you keep acting cute..."

"I'm cute Kiryu?!" Lila asked, with wide eyes.

. . Why does Lila seem so surprised... "Very cute? So let me feed you now."

As soon as he said this though, he felt the girls lips on his. His eyes widened, but he's quickly able to adjust to the feeling of the girl's lips and even ended up leading the way.

"..Hey, what are you doing when you're exploding already?"

Sure enough, the girl's red-stained cheeks have yet to disappear.

"I..wanted to kiss you, suddenly.."

It shouldn't have come as a surprise to him, but it did. Suddenly? She's as random as ever. But maybe something's different. She wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured, how much she's missed him and wants to explore everything she missed out on.

At the second half, it felt like he would lose control. What is Lila talking about now? Was she always this bold? Why is he so confused? This is something about her that hasn't changed. From the start, Lila has always remained open about what she wanted from him.
