Lucy was offered a job to be a school nurse at a high school. Since she couldn't say no she took the job and little did she know she would have a huge surprise waiting for her.
I watched as the gentle rain fell from the sky and pounded the pavement. Flooding the walkway outside as the students tried to rush inside without getting their shoes wet. I sighed as I had seen the Sakamaki enter but didn't see Ayato.
I walked away from the window and sat at my desk. He hated me. If he didn't hate me he would have come right? Had I taken our relationship too far? My door slid open making me look in its direction and see a teacher. Not just any teacher but his.
"Is there any problem Jitsuko?" She nodded.
"Ayato hasn't been here in a couple of days. I thought that maybe he had been skipping class to see you but I didn't see him at all. Listen, Lucy, can you go and check on him? As a favor, please. " I nodded
"You do not owe me anything. It is my responsibility to care for our students. When school ends I will do just that." Jitsuko nodded and smiled.
"Oh and tell him that his admirers miss him as well." I felt a pain in my heart.
Instead of showing it, I tucked in my feelings. I chuckled at the woman's recent comment.
"Oh, I sure will."
"Thank you" Jitsuko left the room. I started out the window again.
Did Ayato hate me?
He probably had a lot of sexual relationships with other women as well. I shook my head.
He was only someone who I was supposed to take care of.
Nothing more, I had to ignore my feelings.
I meant nothing to him other than someone who works for the school.
I got back to work as a student walked into the room.
Afterschool
After school, I went to the Sakamaki residence. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer. A small part of me hoped for it to be Ayato while most of me hoped for Ayato not to answer.
It would have been hard to relay the message without following up the question by asking him why he ignored me.
Why did he tell me something that he knew would hurt us both?
I was wrong.
If anything he was over me.
I was the only one stuck on him.
I heard someone walk behind me and turned around to see Ayato. He was angry.
"Tch"
He grabbed my wrist and dragged me inside before he let go.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"People have been worried about you. Some of your fangirls have been looking for you." Ayato rolled his eyes.
"Tell them not to bother me. You can let yourself out." He said before he began to walk away.
I was right.
I can't let everything go without speaking to him.
"Is that all you want to say?"
My lips were moving on their own.
"Yes"
"Liar" He turned to look at me.
"Are you expecting a confession?"
No
"Yes. I know you feel exactly how I feel. Why do you keep avoiding it?"
"Your mind is playing a trick on you."
"Then look at me in my eyes and tell me that you don't have feelings for me. You have never done that. He began to walk toward me. He looked at me directly in my eyes.
"I don't...." He started. "I don't have fe-" His brows furrowed. "Hey, stop looking at me like that. You are making it harder." My brows furrowed.
"I love you and I know you love me."
"I do-"....." I can't"....." Lucy" His arms wrapped themselves around me as his forehead laid on my shoulder. "You are right. I love you. I am only afraid of hurting you "
"You learn to get over that you know. With time and learning it's not that hard." He looked at me. A large blush dusted his cheeks.
"Tell me the truth. Why do you stay with me, even though I've hurt you so many times?"
"You are strange. Though it's always like we can understand each other. Somehow I find myself comfortable around you. So much that it's hard to contain my feelings. Seeing you laugh, smile, eating your favorite dish, I can not help but fall for you." He arched a brow. "What?" He leaned close to me making me blush hard. "Ayato you're too close."
"Lucy Heartfilia." I felt my cheeks heat up. "What do we do now?"
"Can we take things slow? Learn about love and acceptance, you know." He nodded.
"Sure"
"Oh and another condition?"
"What is it?" He asked.
"After this, you are making me dinner. "
"Oh come on~" He wined.
"There is no getting out of it. I want a dinner made by Ayato Sakamaki." He looked away with slight embarrassment.
"I will probably burn it." I chuckled.
'Then maybe we can learn a new dish together. That way we can slightly be even. Would you like that?" I asked. He nodded.
"Sure"
