Everlasting Happiness

Life 35

Akeno's PoV

"How are you feeling?"

"Good I guess."

I brought my body closer to Masato  and snuggle up on his defined chest while lying on the bed.

"O-Ouch that place hurts.."

"S-sorry.."

I forcefully removed my head against his chest and started to feel sad about his condition where snuggling and hugging him will just hurt him. But I still keep my arms wrapped lightly on his left arm.

"A-Akeno I'm really sorry you can't snuggle on my chest... I'm weak as paper right now.."

Masato said looking at me with pity eyes. I can tell that he was also feel bad because I can't really adore him like I always do.

"It is because of me.. I.. I know you're affraid of lightning and yet I tried to strike you without mercy. I'm sorry I really do mistook you to my father."

"I know.. Because something is invading this town.. And I'm pretty sure it's not just you who has been controlled by your feelings.. I'm sure that some people are being manipulated right now. But we have to figure out who it was."

"You're right.."

After he sighed Masato asked.

"By the way Akeno, how does the Sekiryuutei doing?"

"Not not so great. I heard from Rias that he got his memories back"

"Why don't you visit them?

"Two reasons Masato. One if I were to leave something might happen to you"

He chuckled and gave me a peck on my forehead.

"What's so funny Masato?"

"You sounded like my mom"

"I hate you.. But seriously I don't ever want to experience that again, understood?"

I put a hand on his chin and made him look at me.

"Yes mom. And what's the other reason?"

I hit him lightly on the chest because he called me mom. I became sad because of the other reason. Yes the reason is Rias is planning to break up with Ise-kun and I don't really know if she's going to plan that out.

"Rias.. You know her right?"

"Not much.. But I know her by name"

"Well actually Ise-kun and Rias are inlove with each other, and she's planning on having a little space between them. I'm their relationship."

"Why? That will turn out bad you know? I mean does Hyoudou Ise love her very much?"

"Ofcourse.."

"Then why is Rias Gremory needs space?"

"I don't really know.. Maybe because of what Ise-kun did to her. He left scars on her legs if I remember"

"........."

Masato didn't answer and it seems like he's deep in thought. Well I can't tell if he cares or not.

Rias, why do you have to do this on him? To your beloved man?

Ise's PoV

I woke up again feeling cold on my forehead as my vision is getting clearer and clearer, it was filled with reddish ceiling of my home.

I can tell that I'm at home. I'm so happy to have my memories back again.

I raise up from my bed and stood to go to the bathroom and wash up my face. I noticed this, everytime I wake up my left eye hurts and my head too.

Well anyway I've been sleeping for so long and I wondered what will happen when I go to school.

I heard someone opened my bedroom door and I couldn't believe that she's here.

Rias my love, is she worried about me? I can tell that she's looking for me because she keeps on looking left to right.

I felt excitement and hurriedly came out of the bathroom to see her widening her eyes when she saw me.

"Rias!"

I hugged her tightly only to found her pushing me away. Wh-what's with that reaction?

"Rias?"

"S-sorry it's just that... I can't breathe because you're hugging too tight"

Ofcourse I would hug her. I miss her so very much and I want to feel her warmth by hugging her but I didn't expect her to act like that.

I left my negative thoughts aside and hugged her again gently.

"Like this... Is this enough?"

She didn't say anything. I want to keep it like this but I can feel a slight force. Sh-she's pushing me away again? What did I do?

"Ri-Rias was that not enough? W-why are you pushing me away?"

She looks at me straightly in the eyes.

"I-I'm not pushing you away Ise"

"Why do I feel like that?"

"D-don't be silly Ise"

She puts her hand on my left cheek and that alone was enough to make my heart starts to beat erratically. I hold her hand and I noticed something.

Rias is... How should I say it...

I don't want to believe in myself but..

She looks scared??

No, maybe I'm wrong. I just wake up so I don't know everything what's been happening. But if she's scared. Why??

She removed her hand which was resting on my cheeks.

"U-uhm Rias?"

"Wh-what is it?"

I want to ask her if she's afraid of something but when I heard her, her voice was a bit shaky so I shut myself. But what is she afraid of?

Instead of asking her I said it to her while smiling.

"I miss you"

On the looks of it, she wasn't expecting me to say that to her. But for me it was an obvious thing to say for the woman whom I dearly love.

I was expecting a reply from her like 'I miss you too, Ise' and she will kiss me lightly on my cheek, but what I heard was different and new.

"R-really? I-I see.."

I felt that my heart aches a little because of what she said. Why is Rias acting like this?

I daringly ask her a very important question.

"D-don't you miss me too...Rias?"

What will I do if she says no?
