Eternal Melody

136 Would you

"Game Terashima- Ibuki pair. 4-3."

Her sweat fell when she heard the signal for the end of the game. It seems like she has underestimated Yuhi-san. Despite his words at the start, it seemed like he has more skill than any of them here. But huh, wait a moment..

Could it be, he could have ended this game anytime?

"They had a handicap." Katsuragi declared.

She rolled her eyes at this declaration and sighed.

"It seems like I underestimated how stupid you are sir."

"Ibuki is so cold." Katsuragi cried.

Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi harshly tugged on her hand. "Uh Yuhi-san---" She stopped talking when she saw the serious look in his eyes.

Is he jealous again?

Sumire leaned forward and kissed his cheeks. "Thank you."

At that action the crowd turned quiet before everybody burst into chatter.

"I thought that girl was familiar but isnt that Ibuki Sumire?"

Yuhi grabbed hold of her hand. "Lets go."

The sports court is larger than she thought, they ran for what felt like forever before they finally stopped at another space. Yuhi slumped down on the ground and let go of her hand. "Hah, running when I am already this tired…"

"Are you okay Yuhi-san?"

His lips curve to a smile. "I will be."

She felt her heart beat when she saw that smile. What is he implying? She took a deep breathe before she sat down beside him. "Do you think those reporters will write about today?"

"Does it bother you?"

"Well, I dont care what they write about me." Sumire admitted. Why would she care after all this time?

Yuhi flicked her forehead. "I can guess what you are thinking, and the same goes for me."

Indeed Yuhi-san has been a member of the entertainment industry since he was a child. So this should be normal. It seems stupid for her to worry about such things if the person himself is not worried. She immediately relaxed when she felt him intertwine their hands.

She feels so content and at ease. She wonders how this person does it? How does he reassure her every single time?

Her thoughts broke off when he suddenly kissed her passionately. For the next few minutes her mind turned blank.

"Yu—uh-"

He pulled away and brushed their forehead against one another. Sumire noted how flushed his face was. It seems like they are the same. How stupid.

"Sorry, I keep using my…"

"O—h that's fine."

"I see, you like it better that way?"

This is so embarrassing. What kind of conversation is this? Or rather she wonders about what he just asked there. Did she prefer it that way?

Yuhi likes kissing a lot, and he showed her many different types of kissing before but the ones that she liked.. The ones that leave her breathless and wanting more…

"Sumire."

"Y—yes?"

"You seem nervous but uh I guess I am not one to talk there. I wonder what I am doing with you, this seems so stupid."

She has to agree with them there. Why does she keep getting so flustered? Not just her but him too. Are they idiots? This isn't a shoujo manga or drama.

"Ive never seriously gone out with someone before, so I don't know what to do."

Sumire blinked when she heard those words. "But what about your exes.."

"With Touko it was all about art and with Makino uhh.." Yuhi looked away and shifted his gaze from her.

Sumire frowned at this. She did a background check so she already knew. But she wanted to hear it from him.

"Yuhi-san, why aren't you telling me?"

"Because you already know."

"I want you to explain it to me."

A deep sigh crossed his lips. "So stubborn, it is for your own good if you don't hear it from me. Well it is like your research. Makino and I had a more sexual relationship. The two of us seldom went anywhere and when we did, we did that stuff outdoors."

While he explained it to her, Sumire noticed how he was doing so vaguely. When she asked this Yuhi insisted it was too explicit. Well she supposes she can't get anything more out of him there.

Besides it would be cruel of her to ask for those details. What he did with his ex-girlfriend should stay between them. Yuhi-san telling her all of this is enough.

Sumire rested her head on his shoulder. "Okay stop now." She trailed off and sighed. "Maybe Im the one who is being unreasonable here."

"Mmm, nothing wrong with jealousy."

She rolled her eyes at that acceptance of his. "Why did you get jealous back there?"

"You know I dislike Katsuragi and yet you two were getting all chummy."

They were? They barely exchanged any words. Sure they spoke a bit during the match but that was all. She does not understand Yuhi-sans way of thinking. But it did lead to them winning.

"Yuhi-san, could you teach me how to play basketball?"

"I will but I believe we could do more important things for now."

"Like?"

"Like flirting and getting more intimate."

She looked away when she heard those words and bit her bottom lip. Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "No?"

"I do want it." She admitted. "But somehow I dont think this is the time and pl--" Sumire paused. The reason Yuhi-san can do this stuff so easily is because of his ex girlfriends right?

If only she summoned the courage to confess before, then those two girls would not have stood a chance at all. She regrets it and yet there is nothing wrong with the present. If they dated back then, they would have surely broken up. But things differ now, they are more mature and can understand each other better.

"Yuhi-san would you marry me?"

"H--hey now…"

"I want us to date with marriage in mind."

At that comment Yuhi deeply sighed. "Damn, I cant win against you at all. I thought I could but it seems like I cant."

"Yuhi-san?"

"Well, mmm okay. But Sumire if you change your mind anytime between now and graduation, tell me right away."
