Chapter 7: Naoki

Chapter 7: Naoki's Teardrops.

"Hey guys" I walked down the steps towards them. They were all sitting on the sofas eating strawberries. They were all staring at me. "Whats wrong?"

Kaoru was the first to speak.

"Its just..you look really um..pretty." He said still looking at me without blinking. I reached the table.

"Huh?" Oh! They didnt see me dressed like this until now, I forgot. Thank you Mika for suggesting I bring this dress!! I mean, ew. I quickly took a strawberry and started walking upstairs. They were still staring. "What now?" I turned around and looked down from the balcony. The rain stopped and light shined through. They all gasped. I quickly spun around but saw nothing. Strange, what are they looking at? 

"Wwwhat are you guys looking at?" I asked in a quiet voice. They all smiled.

"You" I looked to my right and saw Naoki looking at me. I blushed-I mean..it was kinda cold again.

"W-what do you mean me?" I looked down.

"Your beautiful in the sunlight. Its like it connects with you."

"Haha. Imagine that.." I bit my bottom lip. He leaned in and I leaned back. He looked dead serious but then broke into a grin.

"Serves you right" He pulls back and walks downtstairs.

"Serves me right for what?" I asked.

He turned around to face me.

"For being so beautiful." He continued walking down. I walked to my room quickly. Beautiful?! Why the sudden Hi, Talk, want a kiss then compliment?!?! Tsk. I knocked on his door and saw him playing his guitar.

"Thats a nice tune. What is it?" I sat next to him.

"I used to play it to um..the orphans down Lowly Street..back when i was with my father in his house." He pointed to a picture on the wall. I guess he is a kind hearted man after al-WTF!!

"House? More like mansion!" I immediently slapped my hand over my mouth. "I am so sorry." He laughed.

"Thats ok. He was a lawyer so he earned a lot."

"Wait, was?" His smile dropped and I again wished I wasnt such a blabbermouth.

"He died in a car accident last year."

"I'm so sorry Naoki." I went over to hug him but thought again and sat back down. Tears started falling down his cheek.

"I have a little brother you know. Haru. I cant imagine what he's been through. He's your age. Its funny, your his type." He started smiling again which was a relief. I then thought about what Sola said to me.

"Don't..freak out, ok?" I looked up him.

"Ok..."

I cleared my mind and wrote 'Haru's a sweet name. I'm sure your father would be proud of your success now. He'll be looking down and saying "I Love You" because he does and will always be with you' in starlight. It took him a few seconds to process what I had written in the sky.

"Wow..." He gaped.

"Don't tell anyone. Its a secret!" I winked at him. He laughed and nodded.

"I'm sure I can arrange a meeting for you and Haru. You'll be a great little couple." He ruffled my hair.

"Hey! I just had this done!"

He laughed.

I laughed along.
