"I miss you. You damn salty moon."
I was caught off guard when he uttered those words that I'm not expecting to hear not only because of what happened the last time we met but also because of the kind of relationship we have. My heart flutters like how it did when Yamaguchi confessed to me before. It's three words and eight letters alright! But the feeling I had back then is almost the same.
"You stink!" His usual crankiness ruined the mood. He pulled away from hugging me and took my hand and drag me inside the house.
"I'll heat the bath again, take a little rest for now. I'll call you when it's done." He said after gently shoving me in the couch and went to the bathroom.
It's a good thing that he didn't look at me because I could feel my cheeks blushing due to his sudden express of affection. I am used to his gentleness after having our usual rough sex and his sweetness when it's just the two of us together, but not with sweet words like this.
I lay down on his couch and cover my eyes with my arms. I just ended my unrequited love but what I feel after Yamaguchi and I parted is not what a brokenhearted person feels. I admit. I do feel something for Kiyoomi-san but I don't want to keep on pondering about it because he's just like me. He doesn't like commitments at all that's why I keep on seeing him before.
I sighed and remove my arms from covering my eyes just to meet Kiyoomi-san's fondly gaze while looking down on me from the top of my head. My heart starts to fluctuate once more after I just let it calm down and it is all because of his gaze.
Damn those eyes! Why does it look sexy now when I always feel sleepy because of it before?
We stared at each other's eyes for some time. I keep on thinking why this sinfully handsome, famous outside hitter of MSBY black jackals managed to make my heart uncontrollable? What made him stay in this kind of relationship when there's a lot of people simping over him? And why stay with someone fucked up like me? Did he got his heart broken before?
I guess, I know little about you huh? Or rather say, I choose to know only little things about you.
"Kei...take a bath now so we can sleep. I know you're tired." Kiyoomi-san broke the silence and move to stand from bending down on me but I stop him by encircling my arms on his nape and pull him closer to mine making our eyes opposite to each other's lips.
I giggled when I heard him hissed and moved a little so our lips would meet. I kissed him slow and teasing. He didn't disappoint me and kissed me back with the same intensity. His tongue seeks for entrance and I let him making me feel a different sensation that I haven't felt before when I'm still unaware of his charms.
He moaned when I bit his lower lip gently but he can't do anything because of our position that made me smile in between kisses.
Kiyoomi-san pulled away gently to catch our breaths. "You still stink Kei... I don't like smelling someone else's scent on you." He murmured before planting soft kiss on my lips and stand up properly.
"Take a bath and let's sleep."
I get up and rest my head on his shoulder. "We won't do it?"
Kiyoomi-san pulled me from my waist to his body so I would feel his raging hard on. "This 'thing' wants to be inside you so much after I feel your warmth. I'm just holding back coz if we do it tonight, there's no way that you can still go home early tomorrow for your graduation ceremony."
My face feels like burning with the embarrassment. He chuckled and gently brush my hair staying our position even though he said that I stink, twice.
It's calming to be honest. Even without these butterflies in my stomach before, when I'm with him it's comfortable. As if I already knew how comfy to be on his embrace and how sweet his kisses are. I don't want to fall deeply but I'm already losing my grip to my wayward heart.
Get a hold of yourself, Kei! You're being trapped once again by that diapered-asshole! My mind said that made me come back to my senses
"Alright. Lend me some clothes." He let me go when I push him lightly and walk to the bathroom silently.
I rested my back in the bathroom door after I closed it and heaved a sigh. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt scared a bit when I saw how my eyes glistened with happiness.
It wasn't the same Kei Tsukishima that I always see in the mirror when I'm still drowning in loneliness because of Yamaguchi. The reflection in the mirror is someone drowning in euphoria that maybe brought by those unexpected three words and eight letters or might be because of that perverted germaphobe's fond gaze or warm embrace. But what sure is, that starting from this point...
I will never see him the way I used to.
I took my time in bath after that realization and went out when I feel like I already calmed down. Wearing his pajamas that he left for me I went to his bedroom when I didn't see him in the living room.
God knows how I tried to act cool when I saw him sitting on his bed waiting for me while checking his phone. My heart almost jumped of its cage when he looked at me and smiled sweetly. I anxiously walked towards the bed, afraid that he might hear my heartbeat thumping loud and wild. He moved a little and pulled me next to him imprisoning me to his embrace as we lay on his bed.
"This feels nice..." He whispered. "Having you in my arms...with my scent on you and not from someone else."
Damn... stop dragging me to an even hellish and unescapable state that I might willingly embrace with all my inhibitions gone, Kiyoomi-san. I whispered in my head while feeling his warmth.
"Hey Kei..."
"Hmm..."
"I'm sorry for what I said."
I looked at him and met his sad eyes.
I smiled. "Kiss me so we can call it quits."
He shook his head with a smile plastered on his lips but still do what I asked him to do.
The way his lips brushed gently into mine...
The way his hands softly roam into my body...
The more I'm falling to the trap made by the diapered-asshole w ho's probably watching me get drag to another game of love he sets for me. But this time the only different is...
I am more than willing.
