『The Cold Air, The Warm You』【💚Amatojo💛】

Part 4 『No Secrets to Hide』【Amatojo】💚💛

     The clattering of dishes can be heard from the kitchen. Everyone is enjoying their food, chatting away. Not a tear in sight. But soon, tears will be all they see...

( Rantaro's POV )

      "Thanks again for helping wash the dishes, Amami-kun.", said Kirumi. "No problem.", I replied.
...
      For some reason, the conversation doesn't seem to be flowing okay. Not to mention, she's a little more quiet today. I wonder what it could be?

      And as if she read my mind again she spoke. "Amami-kun, why do you always offer to help me with all the chores? Isn't it too much of a hassle for you?", she questioned me two questions in one. I never thought she'd ask that question. I just thought she didn't mind me helping her.

     "Well, reason number 1, doing chores is actually quite fun, and reason number 2...", I grabbed the towel to dry my hands, and then I grabbed her left hand and kissed it. "I just wanna know what working with my future wife is like. And I think it's going quite well~.", I flirted as I winked at her. Just cause I also like seeing her go peach-colored. I let go of her hand and went back to washing dishes with a more cheerful mood. She continued putting away the clean dishes, with her cute tsundere face.

     Man I love her.

( Kirumi's POV )

     As I was putting away the dishes, I couldn't get those words out of my mind.

     ("I just wanna know what working with my future wife is like.)("I just wanna know what working with my future wife is like.)("I just wanna know what working with my future wife is like.) He's already chosen me as his future wife?! Is he attracted to me that much?!!?

     But wait.. Rantaro is a chill guy, and he gets along with everyone. Sure maybe not Ryoma, but he gets along with Tenko and Korekiyo well. Does that mean, that they still have crushes on him because they haven't figured we're dating yet? Does that mean, Rantaro still might like someone here, but just hasn't told me yet? Well, there's no secrets to hide. He couldn't have hid anything from me, right?...
...
     "Rantaro.", I said with a strict voice. "Woooahh, where'd the last name and honorific go?", he sarcastically said as he chuckled, putting one hand behind his head. "Do you...", I hesitated to finish the sentence at first. "... have any crushes.. besides me?", I slowly said, shaking in my voice. I looked back at Rantaro, and saw this his smile...

Was gone.

     He turned his stare back to the dishes, and then proceeded to talk. "I... guess I had a few.", he slowly said. To be honest, I didn't mind. I was just wondering if he still liked th-

     "I haven't let go of those feelings, though. To be honest, I would let them have their way on me, and I would have my way on them...", he added, having a dead look in his eyes. I stopped. I stopped moving. I stopped putting the dishes away.

     He still likes them? Even if we're dating right now? He hasn't let go of those crushes? He let them touch him, and he touched them? And it's not only one crush?... I thought.. he loved me. And me only... Am I only a toy for when he's bored?.... Am I?!!

     "So you think this relationship is a joke, huh?..", I quietly said as I kept in my anger. "W-What? Of course not! C'mon, Tojo-san. You know I love yo-" "ENOUGH WITH THOSE PETTY 'I LOVE YOU'S NOW.", I accidentally shouted a little too loud, that everyone heard and decided to see what's going on. "YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME! ME I SAY, ME!! BUT YOU STILL LOVE OTHER WOMEN, AND DARED TO TOUCH THEM, KNOWING THAT YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME!!!", I raised my voice each sentence I spoke, and I started crying due to frustration. "T-Tojo-san, everyone's watchi-" "Don't you DARE TOJO-SAN ME. SO WHAT IF EVERYONE'S WATCHING?! I WANT THEM TO KNOW WHAT'S GOIN ON! Hah, and now you're too embarrassed to talk about this RELATIONSHIP IN FRONT OF YOUR OTHER CRUSHES, HUH?!!", the anger was boiling in my veins, i couldn't look at him like i used to before.
