He Will Be Born

Curious Cats

Once Benio finally broke apart from the kiss, she looked down and covered her mouth. Rokuro was on his own little world, analyzing what had just happened. After a couple of minutes after, Benio looked up at him. He caught her and blushed harder than what he already was. 

"I..I'm so sorry...I don't know why I did that... I...I'm truly sorry Rokuro..."

Rokuro just stared at her while she looked down. Had she really just kissed him? Even if it was "accidentally", she had still kissed him. He didn't know if to feel happy about the fact that she had kissed him or dissapointed because it was accidental.

"Hey..Roku...ro?"

Hearing Benio calling his name brought him back to reality. He noticed how she was avoiding his gaze once she stopped looking down. He decided he should break the ice.

"Um..why did you apologize?"

"What do you... mean why I apologized? I took your... first kiss, right?"

"Yeah... that was my first kiss..Yours too, right?"

She gave a small, embarrassed nod. 

"Then I guess we're even, okay? But seriously what was going on your head Benio?"

"Huh? I.. I.. well actually..."

She knew this was a perfect time to tell Rokuro her feelings towards him, yet she was too embarrassed with the kiss to do it. In a way, she felt pressured...

"Actually what?"

"Well, you know... I... never mind,.. please forget it."

Rokuro grabbed her by the arm as she was about to walk away from him. He turned until her face was facing his.

"Roku..ro?"

"You might not see it as a big deal but.. I do! Don't ask me why though..."

Benio didn't hesitate to ask "why" with a straight face at Rokuro.

"I told you not to ask, dammit!"

"Sorry.. you made me curious.. tell me why though..Rokuro."

"Have you ever heard of 'curiosity killed the cat' Benio?"

"Yes I have.."

"Well,that teaches you not to be curious."

"I see.."

"So are you gonna tell me?"

"Like you said..Rokuro 'curiosity killed the cat'."

Benio had gotten him there. He cursed at himself and then gave up. He let her go and motioned her to keep walking. He led her to a vast field full of flowers.

"This is so pretty.."

"Right?"

"Yes... reminds me of my home.."

She gave a small smile while admiring the view of the field. Rokuro caught her smiling and he did the same.

"You know Benio, don't you think it's weird?"

"Hm? What.. do you mean?"

"Well back then.. we wouldn't be here together enjoying such beautiful view, right?"

"Yeah.."

"And we would have never gotten along like now, though we still struggle with that. Plus, I always thought that you and I could never be a thing but, don't get me wrong, I-I still don't know what being a real couple is all about but Benio, I'm sure that if I hadn't met you, I'l still be inside that nightmare of the Hiinatsuki Tragedy. I-I'm really glad that I was chosen as a Twin Star, alongside you... I'm happy that I was able to meet you Benio."

Hearing Rokuro utter these words made Benio teary again. 

"Idiot.. what are you thinking of?"

"Huh? Don't tell me you don't feel the same way!"

"I meant by you making me teary again.. for the second time, but Rokuro.."

Rokuro made eye contact with her just in time to see her smile, the same type of smile she wore that day at the festival where he gave her pins.

"...I-I always thought the same Rokuro, I'm also happy...to have met you..."
