Her (Yukimura Seiichi x OC x Tanegashima Shuuji)

FIFTEEN: Stay

"Why? Why am I crying? Much less over him again... Didn't you promise yourself this would stop Satomi?"

"God I'm so stupid." She leaned against her door, sliding down into a squat position, burying her face in her arms in an attempt to mask her sobs.

"WHOA." She fell backwards on to the floor, the door behind her had opened revealing the only other occupant of room 101.

"Satomi!" he stared wide-eyed, first in shock, then his gazed softened as he took notice of the streaks running down her face. He let out a sigh as he brought himself down to the floor. "Do you wanna tell me what happened?"

Silently she shook her head.

"Do you want me to stay with you?"

She didn't respond. Shuuji took it as a sign that she wanted to be left alone, and so he got up and decided to retreat into their room. He took one last longing glance at her as he slowly shut the door.

"S-Stay with me..."

"What?" he asked surprised, widening the door again.

"Shuuji stay with me, please."

He smiled, "You idiot."

~-~-~-~

"So, you wanna tell me what happened?"

Satomi had been on the floor crying for a good 10 minutes, finally after getting her to calm down, Shuuji had managed to coax her back into their room. He held her close, holding her tightly, for in that moment she was fragile, and all he wanted was to keep her from breaking.

"I met him..."

"At the gym?"

"Yeah..."

"What happened?"

She told Shuuji what had gone down between her and Seiichi, every emotion she felt and every word she said. What he said to her, and how the screaming started. How they both wanted to prove who was at fault for some of the smallest things. How it felt like all they both wanted was to see who in that moment could hurt whom more, and who would come out victorious. Who had won the breakup.

"We got to talking, it was going well at first, I was silly... I thought, I thought we could actually be in each other's lives again; I thought we could be friends again. And for a moment, he was like the guy I used to know, the one who used to skype me when I couldn't sleep, and reel me in when I was being terribly irrational. But the moment I told him how much I'd missed him, he flipped. It was terrible. I feel like I'm still stuck in this breakup and I don't want to be. I'm not happy being stuck in a situation that I thought was over. But everytime we see each other, everytime we speak, we're just back there. And I'm just, so tired. I'm exhausted Shuuji."

Shuuji just listened, he knew there was nothing more he could do. As if it were any more possible, he hugged her tighter and planted a kiss on the top of her head. "Then get some rest," he thumbed away the tears on her face, "come on I'll sing you to sleep."

"You sing horribly."

"I'll have you know I've been compared to many a great singer."

"Oh yeah?" she sniffed, "Who?"

"He was a contestant on American Idol, I'm sure you've heard of him, William Hung."

"Pfft- BAHAH! Shuuji! Hahaha!" she laughed amidst her drying tears.

"There you go, there's the smile I fell in love with."

"You cheesy piece of shit." Her face flushed a deep red.

"Ah but you're in love with this cheesy piece of shit."

"I never said I was!"

"You haven't said it, but you've definitely felt it."

"UWAHH why are you so cheesy?! Stop hugging me!"

"It's Shuuji love Satomi! Shuuji's L O V E!"

"You idiot." She said drying her final tears, "come on, it's getting late, we should sleep."

"In the same-"

"NOT in the same bed!"

~-~-~-~

"God how did we end up in the same bed?"

He slept with a smile on his face.

"Idiot. At least one of us can sleep..."

She looked at him, burning his sleeping face into her mind. She traced every feature, drawing him with her eyes. Mindlessly, her breathing came in time with his, watching his chest as it rose and fell. Then his lips parted as he drew deeper into slumber, her full attention now taken by them in their luscious glory. Her thoughts went back to what had happened before she ran off to the gym. When his lips met hers. When he kissed her. This was when her body took over, her fingers found their way to his face, brushing his snow white hair to the side, she thumbed his cheek as he had done so many times before, and finally, willingly, she leaned in.
