With Our Without

Part 2

He leaned towards the wall, reaching for the tights, making me place my hand on his shoulders to keep from falling over. "T-T-Toma..." I stutter, feeling my face start to warm.

============================================

Toma smiles sweetly, gently placing the legging in my hand. "Seems you are too short still." He chuckled as I playfully slapped his chest. As I smile, I look into his eyes and he stares back. A blush slowly appears on his cheeks.

Toma's face seems to be inching towards me, his arms tighten around my waist. "Why Shin..." he whispers so quietly I barely heard it. He's too close, I thought. His warm breathe ran across my lips, causing me to shudder. I pushed him away just as Shin pulled his arms off of me.

"What do you think you're doing? Huh Toma?!" Shin almost yelled. I looked over at Toma as he was being lectured. He wasn't paying attention as he smiled at me and winked, causing me to blush. "You aren't her boyfriend Toma!" This made Toma get serious as he grabbed Shin's collar and pulled him slightly towards himself. "And neither are you." He looked at me as his face softened and walked away.

"_______" I smiled. It's his fault for acting possessive, I thought to myself. But did I scare _______? Maybe she is just mad at me. Wandering in the mall I stop to eat. Why am I acting like this! She's like a sister to me. The more you think about it, you start to realize you are just trying to protect _______. (Yeah, like that's true). This is just an excuse for the behavior. I look at the time. Ugh, I'm going to be late to the university! I got up and ran out to go to school.

"S-Shin?" I tried to look at him but he was looking away from me. I looked at his hand, seeing it clench into a fist. I placed my hand on his back. "_______" he said quietly. "I'll take your stuff back to your apartment after I take you to work." Shin bought my tights and held my hand. He hasn't done that for a long time, you thought.

The warmth from his hand seeped through his glove, making me blush lightly. My hand had been cold but this made my whole body warm. Odd. By the time I noticed, we were already at work. Shin still hasn't looked at me. "I'll see you later, _____." He mumbled, turning quick to hug me and started to walk away before I
could say anything.
