Laugh with me

10: blush

Tenka: do you want to go to a fancy ball with me?

Takaya: what's... That?

Tenka: you wear beautiful dresses and attend a place where people gather together for the purpose of exchanging information of some sorts and of course grab opportunities.

Takaya: tenka has to attend that kind of boring meetings too?

Tenka: well I represent the shrine and you have gone before?

Takaya: I was presented as an experiment for buyers but no one wanted me because they wanted something better. So I ran and...

Her face suddenly plunges into sadness and she keeps quiet. She stands up and turn to exit the room.

He hugs her from the back ' its over now. '

Takaya: tenka... Don't care?

Tenka: I don't. So? Pretty dresses?

Takaya: um.

So they went shopping and she got into a red long sleeved dress with puffiness on the end of the dress. It was still traditional british coming into japan than.

Tenka: kawaii.

Takaya: kirai. Can I not go? Kirai. This dress. Kirai. I don't feel comfortable.

He hugged her by the back and placed his chin onto her head ' alright than. I shall go alone. '

He turned to leave when she grabbed his arm ' ok ok. I'll go. '

Tenka: you don't have to force yourself.

Takaya: I'll go. To see...

Tenka: arigato.

He walked over upon seeing tenka.

Sousei: you seem captivated by her

Tenka: she is captivating.

Sousei: she's cold.

Tenka: she's cute.

Sousei: sometimes. The way she changes her face in an instant. Its... Cute.

Tenka: she is innocent

Sousei: she is logical and rational.

Tenka: she whines

Sousei: the way she speaks feels so much better than those fake adults.

Tenka: are you eyeing on my takaya?

Sousei: yours? She's the government to begin with. You're just in charge of taking care.

Tenka: so are you.

Sousei: I work in the government

Tenka: I live with her

Sousei: I like her

Tenka: now you're speaking the truth you asshole.

Sousei: we'll see how things go.

Tenka: hmph. We will.

Somebody invites her to dance,she replies back with a cold face. Tenka walks in ' may I? ' he stretches out his hand and bows a little.

She blushes hard ' tenka... ' she nods her head ' but I don't know how to dance that.'

He held onto her hand and brought her to the dance floor ' I'll teach you. One two three four,one two three... You're quite good at this. '

Takaya: I am just copying, its correct?

Tenka :just one more extra step.

He pushed her body in to hers and she stops her steps flustered and shocked, stunned not knowing what to do.

Takaya: tenka...

Tenka: you're not dancing now.

Takaya: hai...

She moves her legs and blush ' are you sure...? '

Tenka: why?

Takaya: I... Don't see anyone... Doing this.

He cup her cheeks ' trust me. Look,everyone's looking. '

Takaya: because of you.

Tenka: no... Because you're cute.

Sousei: its time to exchange partners.

' tenka. Come. ' the prime minister's daughter called.

Tenka had to let go ' don't you abuse her. '

Sousei took takaya's hand ' don't worry. '

She turned to her usual cold tone ' taichou.'

Sousei: hey. You seem good at this.

Takaya: trust me I hate it. Don't tell tenka.

Sousei: I like it when you're so honest.

Takaya: how about you? That girl asked you to take over tenka? She seems to be drooling over him.

Sousei: she's the princess kind of. Of course she drools.

Takaya: fair. Can we not dance? My feet hurts.

Sousei: why didn't you tell that to tenka?

Takaya: well... He was enjoying and...

' ehh...' he carried her in his arms ' taichou... '

Takaya: this is embarrassing please let me down.

He carried her put her seat onto a chair ' than seat. '

Takaya: arigato.

They were at the balcony alone now. He suddenly leaned in and cupped her face. She blushed ' taichou...? '

Sousei: hn. I never thought I would see this from you.

She looked away ' its just some rubbish emotions... I'll keep them away. '

Sousei: Don't. I want to see more of it from you.

He lets go and turned around. She grabs onto his sleeves ' what are you talking about? You know - '

He interrupts with a kiss to the lips ' - I know. But you're not his yet. '

She blushed hard and speechless. He smirked and left.
