Make Your Heart Race

Realizing These Feelings

Ai P.O.V

I rushed down the halls, guilt and worried. Please wait... Syo..

My heart dropped, as I gazed upon him. Looking so helpless, lying there on the ground. 'this is my fault. I caused this.. just because I deny my feelings..' But, these feelings.. they confuse me. How I wanted to rush over to him and confort him. But, my body froze.

Hesitantly and slowly, my body was able to walk to him.

"Syo..."

Syo turned and looked at me, his eyes red from crying. I nearly froze at the site that pained me. 'this is my fault..'

Syo began to cry again, helplessly trying to move further from me.

"N-no..." Pain struck me again, I felt tears whell in my eyes. Seeing Syo cry.. this is the most pain I've yet to feel.. Syo attempted to get up again. I reached him before he could, I dropped to my knees and hugged him. Syo tensed at my touch, but slowly relaxed.

I began to cry softly.. not having very much reason to cry. But, I couldn't hold them back anymore.

"Oh Syo.. I'm so sorry.." I cried into his shoulder. Syo was crying softly.

"Syo, words can't even begin to describe how sorry I am. For how much I've hurt you.. I-I didn't realize how much it would affect you. Even me.. Seeing you on the state you are, I realized then..." I trailed off, I pulled back.slightly and looked into Syo's eyes. I found hurt lingering in his eyes. Those eyes that use to smile..

"Syo.." I began, "these feelings I havd for you.. I think I'm beginning to understand them.."

Syo looked at me, surprised and confused, he threw himself into giving a tight embrace that I returned.

"I'm so sorry.. so sorry for hurting you.." I exhaled deeply,

"Ai, it's okay.." Syo said, hearing his voice made me hold him tighter.

"Please be happy again..?" I nearly pleaded.

"I-I will." Syo smiled a bit, "do you think we should go back to the lounge room?" Syo asked. I nodded, and got up pulling Syo with me back to the lounge room.

Syo P.O.V

I smiled slightly as me and Ai entered the lounge room. Everyone's worried eyes turned to me. Natsuki quickly got up anf hugged me.

"Syo, are you okay?" Natsuki sounded worried,

"Yes I am. Now may you let go of me?" I answered slightly annoyed, Natsuki let go and gave me a smile.

"I'm better than I have been, guys" I looked to everyone, assuring them.

I grinned, and glanced at Ai who smiled slightly.

I looked over to Reiji, Cecil and Ranmaru. Cecil had a hurt expression, as Reiji was smiling warmly. I walked over to Cecil and he looked down,

"Do you not like me? Or even want me here.." Cecil questioned,

"Look, I really have no problem with you. It's just a long story. Heh, don't beat yourself up." I smiled reassuringly, Cecil looked up at me and smiled.

"Okay." I turned to back to the guys,

"Yay! Syo's back!" Otoya cheered,

I smiled shyly,

"Heh, yeah" I glanced over at Ai again, 'it's because you that I'm okay now..' I smiled and turned to the guys,

"Hey, why don't we get to know Cecil a bit better?" I asked everyone, they all nodded.

"Hmph, that's your first bright idea, shortie." Ranmaru scoffed.

"Hey!" I glared at the silver haired male, as he began to walk out of the room,

"Oh, Ran-Ran." Reiji sighed,

"Doesn't he have a temper." Ren chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah. heh, well we better get going." Reiji gestured to Ai,

"I'll come. Hold on."

Reiji smiled then left. Ai walked over to me and hugged me, I froze. 'wh-what.? A-Ai?' I wrapped my arms around Ai. The hug, lasted longer than I though. Ai pulled away, smiled at me then left the room.

I turned around a blush covered my face. The guys all smiled and laughed a bit. All except Cecil, who was confused on the situation.

"Oh, shut up!" I yelled with Embrassement.
