All The Same

Not A Bad Thing

Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow, maybe you'll let me borrow your heart
Every morning, I just wanna see you staring back at me
Coz I know that's a good place to start

- Justin Timberlake, Not A Bad Thing

Waking up next to her, with her head resting on his arms comfortably, Yoh couldn't ask for more. Yet he knows this is only temporary; she was lonely, and he was just at the right place at the right time - or at least he made it his life's goal to always be there if and when she needed him. What was it about her that made him feel this way? Why was he so desperately in-love with her? Because she saved his life once? Could be. Though technicalities considered, they're even; debt has been repaid since he saved her once too. So why? Why was he willing to do anything for her?

Heaving a sigh, he dismisses the thought and stares at her sleeping face one more time. This is the closest they've been for the past few months. For some odd reason, Yoh's eyes starts to well up as he whispers "Will you please keep me here?"

Anna stirs a little while Yoh could only laugh at himself. Suddenly, his phone vibrates, a message from his assistant telling him of an important meeting, to which he replies:

[txt] Please delegate the task to Takeyama-san. I'm not feeling well today, sorry. I'll catch up tomorrow. Sending the documents in a few minutes, thanks.

Yoh led her back to her room, but she stopped him and asked,

"Will you stay with me tonight?"
"If that's what you want."
"That's what I want."
"As you wish."

Anna held his hand in silence as they entered her private quarters. What was she doing, really? Maybe, deep down, she does have feelings for this person. She hasn't figured it out yet, however, there must be something. Anything.

As the door closes, she closes in on him and captures his lips. Yoh's confused yet he doesn't even try to stop her. In fact, he kisses her back with the same passion and in a snap, everything just went up in flames.

"What are we doing?" He said in between kisses.
"I don't know."
"Is this what you want?"
"Yes."

Yoh pushed the curtains aside when he got out of bed and was temporarily blinded by the sun's rays. Nevertheless, he stubbornly fixated his gaze until his vision adjusted. Now he can clearly see the blue skies. Today was indeed a beautiful day.

Anna greeted him by encircling her arms around his torso while his back was turned, to which he responded with a light kiss on the forehead as he faced her.

He held her face with both hands and asked, "Will you please keep me here?"

She didn't think anything weird of it, and answered "That shouldn't be too hard."
