Who He Was Ch. 2

Yumi dashed out of the room as soon as his eyes popped open.

'What was I thinking? Was I actually going to...Kiss him?' Yumi thought. She sprinted through the forest, faster than she had ever gone. 

She suddenly stopped, pictures of the boy flashing through  her mind. Her heart ached.

'Why do I feel so drawn towards him...?' Yumi pondered.

'I want to run...But something's stopping me. I mean, he helped me, took me in, gave me shelter...And then I just run away? Am I embarrassed? Whats....Whats wrong with me?' Yumi asked herself.

She unconsciously turned back and started walking slowly towards the cottage. She wondered more about the boy, and she blushed, feeling affection bubble up inside her.

When she reached the cottage, the boy stood outside, his hands in his pockets. He stared at her tiredly.

"I love you." Yumi blurted out. In an instant, she ended up in his arms.

"I know." The boy whispered back.

"Do you love me?" Yumi asked him. The boy chuckled, breathing in her scent deeply.

"You ask too many questions." 

Yumi pulled away, staring into his electric violet eyes. She bit her lip.

"I don't know why or how I love a baka like you." The boy smiled at her, pulling her close.

He placed his lips on Yumi's and what she felt was indescribable.

She felt sparks, explosions, she felt heated and chills ran down her spine all at once. Every part of her that he touched was left burning. 

Yumi pulled away, not being able to take the feeling any longer. She shuddered in delight.

Yumi took a few steps back.

"Stay with me." The boy pleaded.

"Why?" Yumi asked. 

"Because..."

"Because...?" 

"I love you." The boy finished.

"Oh?" Yumi raised her eyebrow, a smile spreading across her face.

She placed her hand on his shoulder, gently. Then she sprinted into the cottage.

"Tag, you're it!" Her voice echoed from inside. The boy grinned, chasing her inside the cottage.

They ran inside and out, giggling and laughing. When he finally caught up to her, he held her in her arms gently. She sighed. 

Suddenly, the boy lifted Yumi up bridal style, carrying her upstairs. She yelped. 

"What are you doing?" Yumi asked.

"You ask way too many questions." The boy grinned.

He dropped her into his bed, and then he jumped in beside her. He shifted over, placing his hands on her waist, as she placed her hands on her chest.

"You're quite pretty. Did I tell you that before?" The boy told her. Yumi laughed.

"I don't know if 'I'm only going to help you because you're not ugly' counts but, yes." Yumi answered. They both laughed.

Yumi's eyes drifted closed, and she buried her face into his chest. He held her tighter.

They both felt protected and warm in each other's arms.
