A few days had passed since Cordelia had threatened Ayato, and after he ran to tell Yui in secret so they could plan how to meet each other without Cordelia knowing. In the end they agreed to mainly meet mid-day on the main deck, since Ayato's mother would avoid a large gathering of humans and stay in her suite. Honestly, it still terrified the mortal girl if the couple were caught together, and the possibility of the malicious vampire ending her life.
She left her room leaving her father to pray in peace and decided to take a walk on the main deck to clear her head. She had so many conflicting feelings about moving to New York, she wanted the new start away from all the restrictions when she lived in Japan, but what would happen to her and Ayato when they did arrive in the city. Yui wanted to stay with Ayato forever, but she always knew that they would have to go their separate ways in New York.
The mortal girl reached the top of the stairs to the deck and walked towards the railings to admire the ocean view. The weather had become colder, causing the ship to sail past glistening icebergs bringing Yui's fragile mind to the conclusion that the ship could sink from one of those blocks of ice. She wondered what her father would think if she did leave him to be with Ayato, however she knew he wouldn't approve since Mr Komori thought Yui should stay away from him and his delinquent influence.
The blonde girl decided to walk further around the deck to further clear her mind of the many situations she had to find the solutions for. While walking along near the doors that led down into the first class common rooms, she saw Ayato sat at the edge of one of the sun loungers concentrating on the notebook he held in his left hand and writing with the pencil in his right hand. She walked slowly towards him, so she didn't distract him from whatever he was doing, and when she was close enough and still unnoticed, she peered over his shoulder at the contents on the notebook.
It was a pair of eyes, a very realistic charcoal sketch of a pair of eyes. Yui was amazed by the vampire's hidden talent and so enthralled in his art that she didn't notice that the drawing had stopped, and he was looking at her.
"Hey Pancake, can I help you with anything?" His voice startled the young mortal out of her trance. Yui turned to look at him with wide eyes, and an annoyed look plastered across her face. He smiled at her reaction, and from the thrill of them being together in broad daylight and the possibility of getting caught.
"Don't scare me like that Ayato, and why didn't you tell me you were an artist?" She asked him gazing at his drawing. He turned his attention back to his notebook and closed it, then gestured it to the short woman so she could browse through the rest of the sketches. There was no point hiding the rest if she had already found out, no matter how embarrassed she might get looking at the contents.
"I didn't tell you because you never asked, and you may not like to look at my work since your easily embarrassed and I mainly draw people and body parts." The red-haired vampire stated leaning against the wall, and Yui joining him against the wall still fixated on his work. He was observing her reactions to the sketchbook to find no sign of embarrassment on her face. Ayato admired how her eyes sparkled every time she turned the page to find something new, he couldn't help but smile fondly at his friend's expression.
Ayato had considered whether he and Yui were still friends or something more but in all honestly it confused him. The pair did not act like a couple at all, just two clueless friends flirting with each other every chance they got because they were hopelessly in love. However, when Ayato was near Yui he develops this strange feeling in the pit of his stomach and his heart would start racing. Coming from a dysfunctional family and never experiencing a feeling like this he came to the conclusion it was love shortly after getting to know the girl. But one question still haunted the vampire. Did Yui love him back? For once in his life Ayato was absolutely terrified of something, asking Yui about her feelings for him.
