TOH
They crossed paths roughly seven months ago, and he ended up letting the kid go. Was it a mistake? Maybe he shouldn't have let him live. The kid caught him and his people in the middle of a weapons deal. He ended up sending his men away, and after beating Senou up a bit. He let him go.
To his surprise Senou shrugged. "At least you found a good looking one."
Sumire laughed. "His looks are certainly the reasons why I picked him, and err he is very good at using his hands."
His lips curved to a wicked smile. Does she realize what she just said there? The other two must have sensed the heated atmosphere since they both said their goodbyes.
Senou bows and made sure Kaji did the same. "I will send the reports over later on, and also please drop by the base. Sakuragi-san is asking about your wellbeing, and causing a fuss that you haven't been to see him."
Sumire nodded and with those words said, Senou and Kaji left. Not before Senou glanced at him with caution in his eyes.
'If you hurt her, I will tell her everything.'
After reading his mind, Toh sighed. Why would he hurt her? Though he can understand what it may look like to somebody who knows about his involvement in a ruthless organisation.
"Those two weren't members of the Holy knights were they?"
Sumire shakes her head. "Rather they are former members. They pissed off Aki awhile ago, and had no choice but to leave. Normally being kicked out of the Holy knights means it is difficult to join another organisation. But, I wrote a letter of recommendation and helped them out. That's why they remain that way towards me."
He highly doubts that's the reason why. They are loyal because they respect her. It's nice to know that she isn't completely seen as a monster by others in the underworld, despite that nickname of hers.
Sumire leaned into him and sighed. "I don't want to return to class."
"Then, can I take you with me?"
She nodded but tilted her head. "What about your work?"
"It's fine, it was cancelled anyway."
'Rather, I'm cancelling it now. There is something else he needs to look into.' He can do that at home, with Sumire safely in his arms.

They have both been busy, him with the fashion show and his shop. While she has been busy with the concur and the growing unrest in the underworld. As for the latter, that is Lucifer's doing. He is doing a good job slowly sowing seeds of chaos. What happened earlier today. If he makes a few inquiries he is sure to find out what went on. However, right now he wants to focus on Sumire. Sumire who is beautifully flushed underneath him.
If he is perfectly honest. 'I really do want to tie her to bed, and keep going.' But, he doesn't want to frighten her. Toh gently kisses her forehead.
"Do you want to take a bath?"
Sumire nodded. "Mmm."
Toh moved away from her and Sumire got up. He watches her until she disappears behind the bathroom doors. Toh ran his fingers through his hair and exhaled deeply, and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his face. Just kissing lead to him becoming a sweating mess and his body heating up with desire.
He knew even without looking that there was a rather healthy bulge in his pants. He won't get very far like this. Toh quickly decides to join her. He could take care of it on his own. But why does he have to resort to taking care of his own needs, when he has a girlfriend?
When he entered the bathroom, it was covered in steam and the scent of rose petals. Sumire was in the tub leaning on the side and sighing in content as she plucked more petals from the roses and into the bath. Today, the girl wasn't having her usual bubble bath.
Sumire turned to him and he chuckled. "Can I watch you?"
"Sure but." Sumire trailed off. "Oh, sorry about the roses."
Toh shakes his head. "It's fine, they were a gift."
Sumire frowned. "Was it from a woman?"
He chuckled hearing her accusing tone. "It wasn't ."
Sumire didn't say anything else and he watched her wash her body with soap.
He growled when he saw her scrub certain parts of her body slowly, sensually. She must be doing that on purpose.
"Toh?"
"Hmm?"
"Uh." Sumire laughed. "I can feel your desire from all the way over Here. Maybe you should just get closer?"
Look at her being so brave. Still, he could use a bath. Even if they don't do it, he does like the idea of pressing his body against hers. Toh quickly discarded his clothes, and he caught Sumire watching him from his reflection in the window. Watching him undress, and licking her lips.
'I knew she had her own desires. But, she isn't very expressive about it. She prefers to hide it.'
Toh steps into the tub and Sumire flung her arms around his neck. "You're very bold today."
"I'm just tired."
He placed soothing kisses down her neck and ran his hands through her back. "You're overdoing it. I know the concur is a few days away, but surely you have practiced enough?"
"It's not the concur that bothers me." Sumire paused. "The situation in the underworld is very dangerous recently. It's going to be a bit difficult for me to attend lessons, let alone go on dates."
So that's what is bothering her. "It's alright, as long as you can still stay over?"
Sumire bit her lip. "I might come late and at unreasonable times."
"That's fine. It's not like I have the best sleep schedule either."
"Toh-"
Toh shakes his head. "Even if we only spend a few minutes together, it's enough."
It's enough for her to fall asleep in his arms. Sumire sighed but nodded. "I really do think that you are too good for me sometimes."
"Only sometimes?"
Sumire paused but continued. "There are times where I think we are very good together."
Toh chuckled. "I do think we are compatible."
Surprisingly they have more in common than he thought. When he first thought there was a large age difference between them, he thought in the long term they would find it difficult to converse. But, the girls passion for her dreams, and her hardworking nature resemble his passion for fashion design.
