Had the sky ever been this blue before?
Had the bird chirps been this melodious before?
Or were these beauties always there but he never realised it?
Keigo unknowingly smiled when a bird landed on his thigh, chirping while cutely tilted its head as if asking how was his day.
"My day has never been this beautiful..." he said to the bird before gazing up to the sky.
Closing his eyes, for the umpteenth times he replayed the content of her letter in his mind. Though it wasn't directly meant for him, it was still for him. It was hard for him to hide his face from her after he read everything in that letter. He couldn't believe that even after he told her that, she still felt that way about him.
With his reputation, he received millions of letters every year but none of them could make him feel the way he felt when reading hers.
It warmed his heart so much that his face flushed in red. It was getting harder to hold himself from kissing her whenever she was around because scaring her was the last thing he wanted, so he danced with her instead. The sensation of holding her close, her scent, the way she was holding him so tightly—everything was pouring so much euphoria into his heart that it could burst at any moment.
No one would know how he wanted to freeze that moment forever...
If only being the Ice Emperor allowed him to do that.
Keigo slumped on the grassy bed, taking a deep breath as the scent of hundreds kinds of flowers seeped into his senses, smiling when the hint of her scent roamed his mind.
"Hikari..." he whispered her name. Even that alone already sent him flying up above. Glancing at his palms, Keigo let the sensation of holding her overwhelm him. How he wanted her to return his feelings just so he could shower her with his love. But seeing the way she held him back the day before, Keigo was certain that a part of her did. And he had to take an advantage of that.
