My Fellow Equal... ( Celesgiri )

My feelings... I dont know...

(Celeste pov)

I woke up at 12 am, and Kyoko was already gone, I felt like death. I couldn't really remember last night, apart from... oh. Oh god. That actually happened? I jumped up from the bed and quickly had a shower and sorted myself out, I didn't even say hi to Cheri as I went straight to the motel.

I entered the lobby and saw Kyoko doodling in her notebook once again, she looked up and sighed.

"I knew this conversation was gonna come.."

'Kyoko, what happened last night?'

I stared into her eyes, trying to detect any sense of lies. She only stared back and replied with:

"We... kissed."

'That's it?'

"...yeah-"

'...oh. I thought we mightv-'

"Uhuh can you go now because I'm kinda busy and-"

She tried to politely shove me out the room as I heard someone come into the lobby from the back door. He had dark hair, a crusted suit on and a tie which was horribly positioned. I quickly got out of Kyoko's grasp and approached him.

'Celestia Ludenberg, and you are?'

"Jin Kirigiri, and this here is my daughter!"

I saw Kyoko sit down and cover her face, as Jin pieced together the situation... very wrongly.

"Ah... I see I have walked into a customer signing in, my apologies,
I shall leave, it was a pleasure Miss Lokenberg."

With that cheery attitude, he left the lobby and I turned to Kyoko, who was sat on a chair with her hands on her head.

"He was gone for 2 years."

'Oh?'

"2 years. He just up and left me to deal with the motel for 2 years."

'I can see how that could be troubling, but now you are reunited, correct?'

"He doesn't care about me, he probably only heard about the bodyguard that came after you and wanted to make sure nothing was robbed.."

I kneeled infront of her, and placed my hand on her shoulder.

'Listen, Kyoko. We may have only known eachother for a few days, and shared one or two intimate moments. But, I do believe he cares, after all, who wouldn't?'

She looked up from her hands and stared at me, before giving me a light smile.

"Who knew such a nice thing could come out of that mouth..."

'Oh shush.'

I stood up and let out a huff, before leaving for the exit, only to hear a motorbike pull up.

'Shit-'

"What?"

'That guys back, what do I do?'

"FUCK UH- come here-"

She grabbed me by the hand and dragged me to the backdoor, where she told me to wait until she got the guy into the lobby to go back to her flat. I nodded and waited.

(Kyoko pov)

I finished telling Celeste what to do and quickly sat at my desk, and on time, the man entered.

"I said I'd be back, didn't I?"

'Oh... she went.'

I put my most convincing pokerface on and continued drawing a random animal to distract my panic.

"Bullshit! Where would she go? There's no other motel or hotel for miles!"

'I.. don't know what to tell you, she went a few hours after you left...'

"Fine then, I guess I'll just have to make do for my trip here..."

He smirked and grabbed me by the tie, before pulling me forward. I spit in his face. He let go and tried to wipe it off, I used this time to grab a broomstick and aim it at him.

'Sorry, but unless you're promising me like, a quadrillion coins and a life of luxury I'm gonna have to pass..'

I hit him with the stick, as he grabbed the stick off me.

"You little bitch..."

I could see Celeste's shadow fade away at the front of the lobby, great. Now I just needed to get this man to leave permanently.
I decided to try and run for the exit, only to get tripped by the man who then pinned me down. I flailed around like a fish, I could sense my heartbeat going faster in a panic as he raised his fist to me, until he dropped to the floor next to me. I opened my eyes and saw... Celeste with a lamp. She helped me up as I couldn't help but hug her.

"Oh? I merely just saw a maiden in need of saving, nothing much."

'Shut up, anyway, what do we do with the guy?'

"...put him on his motorbike and set it to auto drive I don't know.."

'...Good idea.'

We both lifted the man up, and I got some rope as we tied him to his motorbike before revving it up. The bike flew into the distant with the man attached to it, who knows what happened to him after that.

"Say, I'm parched. Shall we go to the cafe?" She leaned onto my shoulder as she said it, I nodded and we went to the cafe.

Once we entered, Hina once again took our orders aka Coffee and Tea, and I could see Celeste itching to say something.

'Say it.'

"It's..  nothing. Nevermind."

'Celeste, I will walk out of this cafe if you dont say what's on your mind.'

She sighed and began.

"Your father, seems very irresponsible, and normally i wouldn't bat an eye but, to see such a buffoon treat someone like you with no care just..."

I could see her face start to swirl with anger, as her fist clenched, she quietly banged the table with it. I quickly grabbed her fist.

'Hey.. its fine, he's been like it since my mom died 10 years ago, it's no use getting angry over...'

"... Kyoko, I feel-"

She was interrupted by Hina coming over with the drinks, she placed them both down and apologised for interrupted then left.
I let go of her fist and sipped my tea.

'You feel?'

"My feelings.... I... don't know, to be honest. I've never felt like this before."

Celeste used a spoon to stir the coffee as she just stared at the floor, I wish I could tell what was going on in her head... I couldn't really tell what I was feeling aswell, but... I do have an idea.

"Anyway, enough of that, about last night-"

'Oh god you remember.'

"As one should, you're not one to forget."

I looked up and saw my eyes met with hers, it's happened many times today but... this felt different. I've only now noticed her crimson red eyes, and how pretty they were.

'It was just a kiss...'

"Yes, but it felt like more... ah, I'm talking too much..."

She sipped her coffee before chuckling.

"So, how's your art coming along?"

It was such a drastic change from a few minutes ago, maybe she was just good at changing fast. But I couldn't help but feel like she was making something... no use diving deeper if she doesn't want me to i guess...we ended up chatting for hours, and we then both went back to my flat.
