Frisson (Diabolik lovers)

XXVIII. My happiest days with you

Ayato was pacing back and forth the living room where the rest of the brothers were watching him intently.
"I just don't get it. How do we keep on messing up?!" How come that bitch is so hard to kill?!" 
"I bet you wish Yui had half the resilience as she does, huh?" Laito asked mockingly making Ayato lash towards him without any regards to the coffee table separating them. He grabbed his brother by his clothes and pulled him off the blue couch.
"You dare say her name with your filthy lips one more time and I swear I'll gut you," Ayato spat out, his eyes that of a blood hungry predator. 
"Nfu, okay I'm sorry. No need to fight, I was just joking around." Laito had his hands raised up to ease the situation. Ayato stared him in the eye for a bit more before pushing Laito back down and walking away with a 'Tck'. 

"So immature..." Shu sighed slightly annoyed. All five of them were there, once again planning what to do. It was clear that Lauren had fallen for Reiji and he liked her back. He wasn't going to let them near her and she wasn't going to let them fool her. And that was a huge problem fort them all 
"Can we get back to the issue at hand?" Subaru growled out annoyed at the behaviour of his half brothers. 
"We don't want that unlikeable person to get what he wants." Sighed Laito.
"Can't we just kill her?!" Ayato scoffed out.
"And be stuck Reiji after that? You're bad enough to deal with already. And don't you remember what we had to go through the last time?" Kanato gave his brother a scolding stare mixed with disgust. 

"Can't we just tell her the truth?" Subaru was leaning back against a wall with his arms crossed.
"Unless you want to be punished by father once again." Shu muttered from the windowsill.
"Why don't you think of something if you're so damn smart?"
"There's nothing we can do... for now." Shu smirked earning a couple of curious stares.

I was setting up the table while Reiji was adding some finishing touches to the steak. It was Beef Wellington. We decided to have a date night with our homemade dinner. The very first thing we did though was going skating together and it was finally clear why he was reluctant to do that before. He couldn't skate for shit. But it was okay since I had a reason to hold his hand and see him in such a state. Well... He was actually the one holding onto me the whole time. It was like a date straight out of my dreams. The night was calm and peaceful, ice was refrozen from the previous incident. Although I was a bit shaky at first, Reiji's slips brought back the memories of the first time I was skating. I was a little girl at the time, but you couldn't really forget this excitement despite the absolute lack of experience. 

The memory of his first very first steps came to mind. Even though Reiji was right there - next to me, I couldn't help with myself but smile at the memory. 
'I knew this was a bad idea.' Reiji was looking down at his skates, holding onto both of my hands as I was in front of him skating backwards. 
'You're doing just great, now come on, trust me and trust yourself.' I encouraged him to move forwards. 
'But I'm going to fall! What if I hurt you?' Reiji's panicked eyes met mine and I couldn't help but smile even more. I wished to kiss him then and there - he was that cute.

'I'm faster than gravity, it's going to be okay." Reiji's eyebrows were knitted together in confusion and worry, his mouth slightly open - ready to protest. I let out a giggle seeing his expression. 'And besides, being under you wouldn't really be that bad,' I winked at him flirtatiously which completely caught him off guard. 
'You- What a lewd woman you are,' He tried to stand up straighter but lost his balance and his feet slipped. I was too weak and way too light to keep him up and I was pulled down as well. I found myself lying down on groaning Reiji, his hands were still tightly wrapped around my waist.
'Are you okay?' I tried to stand up to check if he was injured, but he didn't want to let go of me.
'Reiji?' My voice was getting a bit shaky with worry. He might have gotten a serious concussion, I had to do something. 
'I'm alright, I felt his hand gently caressing my hair. 'I simply really like your voice like that," he smirked. I was still lying on him, staring at him shocked before playfully smacking him on his chest.
