His Spring Symphony

Chapter Twenty Seven: Reason to Like

{A/N} Helloooooo everyone, I just came back from the dead called writer's block.

HARU

     Haru woke up seeing two poles of blue eyes stared back at her. "Morning." He smiled.

     Hunter was sitting beside her near the edge of the bed, his hands pressing the mattress between Haru's head and he was so close to her she could feel his breaths near her cheek and he lips near hers...

    She yelped.

    She jolted up and accidentally hit her forehead on Hunter's forehead.

    "Ow..."

    They mumbled in unison then they looked at each other and proclaimed, "Are you okay?" Also, in unison.

    It made Hunter crooked a smile and Haru bit her inner cheek.

     "Well, I tried." Hunter said, hand went up to the back of his neck, rubbing it. And so, Hunter looked at her again. His stare was soft and... careful.

      "Sleep well?" He asked. Her cheeks went red.

    She didn't sleep well. At all.

    They went home after Hunter said she was officially his girlfriend-wife and how would you think if so happened to be they had to sleep in the same room? In the same bed?

    It made Haru's heart beating like crazy.

    When they arrived back last night, everyone else was already sleeping, the light along the corridor of the second floor was dim. Hunter was still holding her hand since outside. He still held her hand when they arrived in her bedroom.

    "Sleep with me." He said, determined.

    "What?" She two steps back.

    It made Hunter realized the word he chose was wrong. He broke their hands apart. "No! I mean, sleep beside me." He ran his finger through his hair and look up and stared at her. His eyes were almost sparkling in the dim room.

    Did she even have a choice?

    "Right side." She stated. "You sleep in the right side." On Hunter's bed, she slept on the right side. But tonight, she had the authority to choose. "Left is mine." It was her room and the bed was a Queen size, compared to Hunter's King size, she rather slept on the side when she could turn her body at the window.

    She quickly moved without looking at Hunter. She climbed up the bed and lay on her side.

   She closed her eyes when she felt the pressure of the mattress beside her.  She squeaked and almost jumped when she felt his breathing on the back of her neck. He was so close.

     Somehow, his warmth was soothing, it was so hypocritical of her, being like this. At that moment, she asked forgiveness from God and Kiseki, to let her have Hunter just for that moment.

    "Yeah, I slept okay." Reality snapped her back. She answered his question simply.

    Hunter smiled thoughtfully and stood up from the bed. "I cooked breakfast. Care to join us?"

    "Us?"

     After pulling out her retainers and washed her face, Haru went downstairs. She went down to the smell pancakes, ahhh, the pancake mix and...beet?

     "This tastes really good Hunter, I wouldn't mind eating this every day." Elsa said from the kitchen.

    "I'll give you the recipe then." Her husband's voice sounded warm towards her mom. It made Haru smiled a little thinking that all of them liked Hunter.
