The Freak

Trust and Truth

Amaya's POV

All of the conversation suddenly stopped and we went to sleep. Again, I had to sleep in Maito's room. I got he bed, he got the floor. I felt kinda special because most people would fight over who gets to sleep on the bed. But Maito? Nada. I got to sleep on the bed without a peep from is mouth in disagreement.

Still. I think I didn't like him yet. But, I knew he probably liked me? No. I can't like him back. I just can't do it. I can't trust anymore. But I still remember the time.....

Maito said he would protect me. Maito protected me from my high school bully. Maito gave me his scarf when I forgot my sweater and it was really cold outside. Maito would protect me every time his mom got angry or drunk. Maito, tried to kiss me multiple of times.

All of this I thought of him. Now, I feel like I could trust again. To be honest I already did trust Akio and Uncle Luki but Maito wasn't family yet. I couldn't sleep thinking about him. I turned to look at him on the floor, he was wide awake.

"Maito, do you remember when you told me you would protect me?"

"Yeah. I would still do it now."

"Why would you do that if you'd get yourself killed?" I asked curiously.

"If love means hate, I'll risk it," Maito smiled at me.

(Author's Note: "I will defend for your honor" quote!)

"You, love me?"

"Even if you didn't love me back I would at least like you."

I smiled at him and got up from my bed and stretched a bit. It actually helps me sleep. Another reason why I was a weirdo with my hair and everything I have.

It didn't help me this time. So I sat on the floor criss cross and looked at Maito who smiled at me. I blushed remembering what he said. Maybe he was lying. I don't know! Even if he did lie, it looked like he was telling the truth! Not lies!

I had no choice but to trust Maito. I couldn't sleep, anyways so I played around with his chocolate brown hair. He laughed and placed his hand on my cheek gently. Like what Akio did with Lin on the day he was pushed off suicide tower by aKaito Shion.

I still wasn't the kissing type. And I still wasn't till this very day. Maito got up from his sleeping position and attempted to kiss me again, but I got my pillow and covered my face. Maito chuckled and I giggled lightly. I still couldn't fall asleep. Even if I wanted to.

"How about I sing," Maito said.

Wait, what? Sing? I-I mean, he was good at singing at the karaoke night thing where Lin dared me to kiss him and I ended up....Well, you know the story. I did like his voice and he sounded a lot like Kaito.

I nodded slowly and he got started to sing in Japanese. The song was called Crescent Moon.
