【Shooting Stars】together they shine - last 2/2

The time tricked by ever so slowly. Yui couldn't look away from these alluring eyes that looked into hers with unwavering conviction and... desire.

It's like Sae was captivating her with his eyes. These mesmerizing eyes, in the most beautiful shade of teal. They once seemed a bit cold to her, but now they were just warm - if not a bit dangerous.
She felt like his eyes brimmed with greed, and if she wasn't being careful, they could consume and devour her, right then and there.

'He's already this handsome and charming now, just how much more handsome will he be once he's older.' Yui thought.

She was feeling lightheaded with the rapid pace her heart was beating at. Her ears were ringing. Her mind hazy and it was all because of that one guy in front of her, Itoshi Sae.

Suddenly a soft chortle caught her attention.
That chortle soon turned into a smooth chuckle.

Sae turned away and held a hand in front of his face. His body shook slightly as he tried to hold in his laughter.

Yui blushed further when she realized something. There was only one reason for Sae to react like this.

«D- Did I say it out loud ?!» She asked mortified, unable to control her voice and stutter.

As if to answer her, Sae's laughter just furthered. He was full out laughing now, to the point where the teen had to kneel, because his stomach was hurting so bad.

It was a beautiful light and melodious sound to her ears, and as mortifying as it was, Yui felt like her embarrassment was nothing in comparison to seeing Sae laugh out loud, like the teens that they were.

Yui looked down at the hand, that Sae had been holding earlier, and she smiled down at it fondly.

She couldn't tell what it was, but her stomach was fluttering to the brim and only happiness soared through her whole being. Yui was the happiest with Sae.

Sadly, Sae soon regained himself and he stopped his laughter. His mood seemed to be good though, and it didn't stop him from teasing her.

«I'll show you. Let's see how much more charming I can get, once I'm grown up and 'even more handsome'.»

Sae raised himself up to his legs again.

He put his hands into his pocket cooly and smirked while saying that.
His voice was light but his eyes showed a seriousness beneath that playful attitude. Sae wasn't lying. He meant it.

'Ah, mature Sae is back again.' Yui thought to herself and smiled.

'He was kinda cute just now.' She kept that thought to herself, knowing that Sae wouldn't like it to be called cute.

She imagined the annoyed face he would make, shall she call him that, and the image got her to chuckle.

Sae heard her and he really wondered intrigued what's going through her head right now.

'Then again, I don't even know what's going through mine either.'

'Not when Yui is involved.' That's it.

Sae mused, and he remembered his impulsive actions earlier. Suddenly, it was hard to control the blood rushing to his ears.

He turned away and his line of sight fell onto the study table. Seeing a lifeline, he clung onto it as if it was his saving grace.

He walked over and pulled out a chair before seating himself.

«...Let's start.»

Sae said cooly as if nothing happened.
He was relieved when his voice sounded normal.
Now, if only this erratically beating heart of his could calm down as well, everything would be fine.
