Dream Star

A few hours later - Light Academy- (Base)

The last thing Lila expected was someone to stop her on the way inside. Haruka-kun himself told her that others use this place and it was pretty much evident from the various room. However, since she came here; she has seen no one. Then again, Haruka-kun seems to like it better when they are alone together. So whenever she's here, he probably tells other people not to come. Following that reasoning, Lila wasn't expecting to see anyone.

Before the girl could kick her out, however, she felt the warmth of Haruka hand who pulled her inside. "Erika, I told you not to come today, "Haruka said somewhat irritated.

The girl, however, isn't phased by his words and watched them with curious eyes, "I thought you had no appointments today."

"I don't; this one is different."

Her eyes widened at his words as she repeated it in her head. Is she different?

The girl appeared shocked. But she quickly murmured, that's the girl, before quickly leaving. Lila, felt as though she ought to have apologized again. But, the entire time Haruka hugged her from behind. He suddenly turned her around.

"Ah, Um." Lila shyly averted her gaze and stared at the cold tiles on the ground.

"Sorry, I should have sent someone to fetch you."

"Oh, um, it's fine."

That girl, who told her of just now was the same one as before right? The one who came into his apartment. She noticed the key in her hand of course and shouldn't have felt threatened. After all, Haruka does that with anyone, doesn't he? With all the girls he sleeps with.

That's why when he gave her one, she refused it. It just doesn't seem right. If, he will provide her with a key. She wants to be the only one with it. Realizing how misleading that sounded, she frantically shook her head.

No, no, that sort of thing sounds wrong. Lila sighed quietly. She doesn't get it. When he asked her before why she looked so bothered, and she told him she didn't want to see him with other girls. Lila saw the confusion in his eyes, and yet, he seemed hopeful. She understood right away how misleading the question was. Lila definitely didn't say it on an impulse. It was something she had to say. Despite knowing what it would mean, she wonders why she said it.

Lila was far too occupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice Haruka's lips closing in on hers until she felt the familiar sensation of his piercings on her tongue. She shouldn't open her mouth around him; he always does this. Haruka gives her kisses like this with no prior warning to her feelings. But, he's never forceful with her. Lila is grateful that it's a short one, and Haruka pulled away.

"Sit down and relax, "Haruka instructed.

With a nod, Lila murmured. "Yes."

Despite her embarrassment, Lila took a seat beside him on the couch. Lila doesn't take her lunch out immediately and peeks at him even though he said he would continue seeing girls and make sure they aren't bullying her. He treats her too differently; naturally, they would get angry.

It's no secret to all the girls that Haruka goes through the trouble of sending all his friends away from the base. A feat that's usually difficult to achieve, for her sake. Even if he's the leader, this is a place everyone shares. But, every day, since he introduced this place to her. When she is here, nobody else is allowed inside, and they have all been following that rule.

She's never come across a member before that, and that's why she was surprised seeing that girl just now. That girl, she wonders what sort of relationship they have with each other. Lila shook her head and quickly turned to Haruka beside her.

"Um, do you want one?" Lila offered, feeling his gaze on her lunchbox.

"Hm? You sure."

Lila nodded and extended her rolled tamagoyaki which was on the chopsticks, towards Haruka. To her surprise she was moving towards his mouth, he seemed surprised but opened them immediately. So even though she realized, it was too late to stop.

"It tastes good," he commented.

Though he was complimenting her cooking, she felt his piercing eyes on hers. He was watching her, half amused, half curious about her actions. Lila too doesn't understand what she just did there.

Why did she feed him?

No more importantly, what he said. Is he stupid?

For the rest of lunch, Lila is careful not to make any similar mistakes and lunch quietly pass by with no more incidences after Lila packed up her lunch box back in the wrapping, and inside her bag. She stood up to leave, knowing full well he has appointments. Haruka, however, stopped her.

"There's still time, so sit here."

Lila looked at him in confusion, glancing around the room for another place to sit down. He wants the couch to himself. Natural considering how small it is. Lila looked around but could not locate another place to sit, due to the mess. She figured it was used a lot earlier, considering the sorry state of the site.

Haruka chuckled, amused. The edge of his lips curved and formed a sly smirk. "On my l.a.p."

"-uka.."

"Relax, I can't do anything like this," Haruka said. Lila, however, looked at him questioningly. Is that the case? But for the past few minutes, Lila felt his hands on her b.r.e.a.s.ts, Haruka suddenly commented, "Mm, you're soft."

"!!"

Haruka chuckled.

For Lila; his touch is so foreign and yet familiar. Lila knew she should stay away from Haruka today since she is meeting with Kiryu later. For some reason, she really can't leave him be. Lila felt Harukas touch grow more passionate, causing her to m.o.a.n slightly. It's so strange, why does being touched like this make her body feel hot? This is too much. Lila made her mind up to distract him."Sa—say, senpai, " Lila spoke up.

"Hmm?"

"Do you, really not have a girlfriend?" Lila asked, despite knowing already.

Since she arrived, Lila knew she asked this question many times already. However, it's because she isn't satisfied with his answer. How is it possible for him to not have one? Well, okay. Maybe it's possible. But Haruka-kun's words shocked her. He told her he's never had one before. Although when they first met. He said something similar along those lines. She thought he was joking.

"A girlfriend, huh? You'd be a good candidate."

Lila looked away, "Don't tease me so."

"I'm not, think about it. Being my girl."Sensing Haruka serious tone, she shifted in her seat uncomfortably.

If she keeps coming here, he will surely try it one day. But, somehow...she doesn't want to stop seeing him. She doesn't understand. Is it okay for her to keep seeing him like this?
