Cherry Blossom Abyss

Chapter Twelve

I wake up to see Junya slipping his pj's off near the closet,slipping on some pants.

I don't say anything,just watch him.

I think he feels my eyes on him,because he turns and looks at me.

He turns away,tinging pink.

"...morning, vi."

I rest my head in my arm.

"....why don't you have a girlfriend yet,Junya?"

He looks back at me,surprised by that question.

"Uh...just haven't found anyone worth my time,I guess."

I nod.

"I don't see how. You're so cute. Girls would love you."

He avoids eye contact.

"I...I'm not cute...b-but thank you...."

He paused for a second.

"Did you...like last night?" He asks.

I smile at him.

"Last night? Nothing happened last night, remember?"

He looks back at me. Then forward again.

"Right." He says.

He goes to get his phone off the night stand and I get out of bed,hopping behind him.

I grab his arm,turning him around and pressing my lips to his.

I can feel him tense,not sure of what to do.

His hands fall by his sides,then raise as if to go around my waist,but he just awkwardly drops them again.

I pull away from the kiss and tilt my head.

"No kiss back?"

His cheeks were flushed bright red.

"I...I didn't expect....why are you doing this?? After so many years of friendship???"

I giggle. "It's just so cute to see you blush,and to tease you."

He grunts. "So you're just doing this to get a reaction?"

I shake my head.

"I don't know exactly why I'm doing it but...I'm enjoying it."

I smile at him and leave without another word,downstairs into the kitchen and see chiaki.

Chiaki notices me.

I casually nod,opening the fridge.

"I told Naoki you were sleeping here,cuddled in jun's arms." Chiaki says.

I close the fridge door,furrowing my brows.

"Why?"

He shrugs. "He asked if you were over here. Asked if you were okay."

I nod. "What'd he say about the Jun part?"

"Eh,he was mad at first. But shrugged it off. I mean,he knows you're an adult now. It's your life."

I reach up to grab the cereal on top of the fridge.

He suddenly grabs my hips,pulling me to him.

I gasp and meet his eyes. His eyes were afixated on my hip.

He grins up at me.

"Is that a hickey?"

I pull my shirt down fast.

".....no?"

He chuckles and pulls my shirt back up.

"Really? Because to me..."
