My Heart's Chained Down

Chapter 2 | Café of Wonders

Eve's POV

Yoriko has been off lately. She's started stuttering even more, and blushing. This is not like her laid-back, clever self at all. I kind of enjoy teasing her when she's like this, though. It's cute seeing her face turn red at the speed of light. On the train ride to Kuruville, she kept shaking in her seat. It wasn't that bumpy of a ride.

                                                Yoriko's POV

I'm done. I'm so done. The ride was completely HELL. She kept asking me questions and doing her really cute laugh every time I answered ridiculously. If I'm having this much trouble keeping myself together here, the café is going to kill me. She must have thought I was joking, but for me it was embarrassing. I kept shaking in my seat, and I felt like she noticed. For a minute we sat in silence, then out of no where, she used her hair to tickle me. It was an unexpected move, which made me explode with laughter. Good thing she put us in a private train car, or else that would've REALLY been embarrassing.

We stepped off the train and walked down the sidewalk. I admired the many attractions Kuruville had, while slipping in some glances at Eve, too. Eve lead me to the café as I stood protective of her, looking out for anyone else that dared to stare at her. When we walked in, we saw two familiar people talking at a booth. The pink haired annoyance, who I think goes by "Yuri", and the pretty cool one called "Rebecca." I found it nice that they had gotten back together after a troublesome break up. Rebecca told me all about it, we keep in touch.

A-Anyway, we sat down at a booth with them. I kind of wanted this dat- er.. study session to be just me and Eve. But it's cool. As the 3 chatted, I sat and studied. It felt like every time I wanted to "flirt" with Eve, I was interrupted. People kept coming over to Yuri and asking her for autographs, selfies, and other things. She was famous now, after all. It made me feel bad for her that she has little to no private time now. As they got up to leave, Yuri tripped up on her shoelace, collapsing and making us all laugh, including herself. I chuckled a bit. She was such a klutz, but also kind of likable at the same time.

As they left, Eve apologized for ignoring me. It was cool. I sat there in silence for 30 minutes, really I should've joined the conversations more often instead of being an introvert. She began talking about what we did in school today, but I completely tuned out, staring at her and nodding every now and then. She's just so.. beautiful. Her silky light-green hair that flows down her back and some pieces leaking into her front, like a waterfall. Her adorable face, (which looked even cuter when she was blabbing on about studying.) I stared at Eve a lot, so much sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it sometimes. I swear, her real quirk is paralyzation. Every time I look into her beautiful, green eyes.. I get stunned.

Reader's POV

Yoriko continued staring at Eve, while randomly nodding. Eve stopped talking and noticed Yoriko staring, after 10 minutes of blabbing on about their studies.

"What are you looking at, might I ask?" Eve asked, tilting her head.

Yoriko jumped up, startled. She was embarrassed again from being caught.

Eve looked down at her chest, mistaking that Yoriko was staring down there.

"Oh, Yoriko.. dear... I had no idea you were so.."

It took Yoriko a few seconds, but realized what Eve meant. Yoriko frantically waved her hands around as her face's color shifted from one color to another. "N-N-N-No! You've got it all wrong! I wasn't staring down there! I p-promise! I'm not a pervert! I'm not a pervert! I'm not a pervert!" She repeated this multiple times as people around them turned around, staring at the two young ladies.

Eve's hair covered Yoriko's mouth. "I-I think that's.. enough studying for today.. Come on.... We can catch the early train."

Yoriko nodded slowly, getting up and following Eve out and looking down the entire way back to the train station.

Yoriko's POV

I fucked up. I don't like using that word. I really don't. But.. I fucked up. I was staring for too long, and on top of that she thought I was staring at her breast..

Okay, fine. I was for a few seconds. But I'm not a pervert! I swear! Most of the time I stare at her face while thinking of all the reasons I admire her so damn much. My eyes were watery as we walked out of the café, and I looked down to hide my face, as my tears just wouldn't go away.

I got myself together as we boarded the train home, yawning a bit. It was pretty late, and this was the early train. It was a bit awkward, me and Eve both looking in separate directions. I found out I wasn't the only sleepy one. Eve's head slowly and gently fell onto my shoulder, and she was dead asleep. I blushed deeply, sitting up straight. I didn't want to make too much noise.. because that would wake her up and ruin the moment. So I just sat there staring out the window, with my love interest's head on my shoulder.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.. A really perverted one... I guess I do have a perverted side, which I am not proud of. But hey, who doesn't? My hand, matter of fact my entire body trembled as a reached my hand up, caressing her face and slowly going downward.. when I reached the area near her breast, Her eyes slowly opened, blinking a few times. She looked over at me. "Y-Y-Yoriko..?"

FUCK.
