Her Mind Wanders

TL error 2

Ayama had calmed down.

The tears dried on her face, yet they held no sorrow.

It was tears from both happiness and sadness, exhilaration and frustration.

Despite calming down, she didn't stood up nor move a little.

Not even Saiki.

They just sat there as Ayama held Saiki's sleeve quietly, a bit coquettishly too.

After a while, Ayama found her voice a bit strained from whimpering. Her tone was soft and light but full of emotions.

"I'm sorry..."

Though she didn't think it was enough for whatever she was actually planning, at least it was still in the first phase, right?

Saiki glanced at her before a chuckle slipped pass his lips.

Ayama was surprised by his laughing voice. It was deep and *ahem* strangely attractive.

As well as that, never did she thought she'll hear his laugh.

Not in her mind... but an actual vibration of air.

It made her chest feel warm and stuffy.

Knitting her brows, she subconsciously pinch Saiki's waist.

It made him amused but he did shut up.

But despite his laughs stopping, Saiki's smile only deepened.

His hand found its way to her head as Ayama felt his gentle pats.

Saiki was stroking her head gently, his fingers passing through her hair strands.

It felt really soft and addicting for Saiki. He didn't think that brushing someone's hair could be enjoyable.

And though they enjoyed the present atmosphere very much so, they still need to talk about certain matters.

Ayama knew she was at fault.

So she brought herself to speak first.

She didn't know what to talk about though.

So she told Saiki a story.

About a certain king and queen from long ago.

Saiki listened intently and quietly.

He understood her situation more now.

The king's descendant must be her. But instead of him being the witch, he was only something alike.

"Then what happened between the two of them?"

Ayama pursed her lips.

"It was not a tragedy."

She said so.

It must be a happy ending then... but Saiki was confuse why she won't say so directly.
