In Between Worlds

27

Izumi's P.O.V.

---

After dinner, I waited in the master bedroom for Anima but she didn't come as yet. I didn't exactly want to have sex, I just wanted to be alone with her. I checked the time; 7;27.

Where is she?

I laid back on the bed, sighing. I felt a little sleepy so I turned on my side and closed my eyes. Catching a few z's.

---

I woke up and checked the time, 9:10. And still no Anima. Did I do something wrong?

I sighed and lazily got up, yawning and rubbing my eye a little.

The door opened slowly and I smiled a little. Anima closed the door behind her and sighed, eyes closed.

"Hey Anima."

She didn't answer.

"Is something wrong?" I got off the bed and walked towards her. She tensed a little.

"Please no sex." She blushed, bowing her head slightly.

"I wasn't going to."

It was true. Just wanted to be alone with her.

"I just want to be alone with you."

"O-Oh."

Is that why she's late? She thought I only wanted to have sex with her?

I sighed and walked back over to the bed, collapsing on it then rolling over on my back.

"Come here."

She took off her shoes and walked over to the other side of the bed, climbing onto it and snuggling close to me. I wrapped my arm around her, playing with her hair.

This feels nice. Have to do this more often.

"Why are you so late?" I asked and she tensed a little.

"I thought you only wanted to...." She trailed off.

That hurt to be honest but I refused to let it show.

"I don't only want you for sex, Anima. Remember that." I sighed and kissed the top of her head.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I did kind of made it seem that way. So I'm sorry."

"Okay."

She sighed and placed her hand on my bare chest.

"Note, I'm still mad at you."

"H-Huh?"

"Lila." Was her reply making me gulp.

"You hold grudges quite long."

She shrugged a little. I sighed at that.

"I'm sorry."

"I know. I forgive you. But I'm still mad."

I chuckled nervously, "You're not gonna torture me right?"

She pulled away from me and sat up. i quickly grabbed her hand.

"I told you I would never hurt you. Why do you insist on saying those things?"

"I-I'm sorry. It was a joke."

"Who's laughing?"

She's a little back to the old Anima.

"I apologize." I slowly released her hand and she sighed before snuggling back under me, still a little tense.

She takes things to heart. Especially when I say it. Nothing else bothers her unless I say or do it.
