How to be human again (Laito Sakamaki x OC)

Lessons with Reiji

"I hate him so much...but maybe..."

   The scarlet rays of the sun woke Dunya up. She was all alone and her eyes were stinging, as a result of her last night's crying session. She was still groggy as she tried to stand up from her bed. Looking around, her eyes were met with the aftermath of her rampage the night before.

   A sigh left her tired chest while the girl sluggishly tried to tidy up her room, or at least what she could anyway. As she was cleaning, a flashback ran through her mind, Laito, the sunny-sunny freak was with her last night, trying to help her calm down.

   Dunya fell on her bed, staring in no particular direction, thinking. "No this cannot be, they must never know, if he talks..." A knock on her door broke her train of thought.

   "I know you are awake Miss, breakfast is ready, be downstairs in 5 minutes." An ordering tone was heard from the hallway.

   Reiji was met with silence but it didn't bother him. He knew that probably he had to come back in five minutes.

   The girl didn't feel hungry. She got up from her bed and pulled the curtain a bit to peek outside the window. In front of her, a gorgeous garden was stretching as far as she could see, bathed in the auburn light of the sunset, slowly morphing into night.

   Five minutes have passed and the girl was still looking in awe at the beautiful garden, wishing she could be there. "Perhaps after sunset." She whispered.

   "I assume you are not ready." This time the voice came without a knock and the girl was a bit startled.

   "I am not hungry." She tried to mutter some words in a raspy voice.

   Reiji opened the door, with one hand holding a tray on which was her food. He took in a deep breath when he saw in what state was the girl's room.

   "What happened here?" He demanded for a reply.

   "I got bored and redecorated." She answered shrugging, on a nonchalant tone.

   The man felt as irritation was lurking, waiting for the right time to take over him, however he didn't pry.

   "After you eat, be in my room, I shall wait for you there, while the maids clean your room." He ordered as per usual.

   The girl said nothing, just followed his motions with her eyes as he put down the tray. She was not content to oblige, but this time she admitted, her room was way beyond her powers to clean. Dunya looked at the tray, the food looked very appetizing but her appetite was not present. She took a bite from it and just left it there.

   The tired girl decided to take a shower instead and change her clothes before heading to her most hated person's room. Half an hour later, she was wandering the hallway, trying to figure out where was Reiji's room.

   "Ohhh, wild kitten." A cheerful voice was heard from the top of the stairs.

   The girl was unfazed and tried to ignore it "Great the sunny-sunny freak." She mumbled under her breath.

   "I missed you at breakfast today. I was so sad you were not there." The voice approached her until he was next to her.

   "Go away, I am not in the mood." She said with irritation in her voice.

   "Awww, don't be like that." He then approached her ear whispering: "Your secret is safe with me." He was trying to comfort her on a reassuring tone.
