Eternal Melody

"I enjoyed everything, fame, and wealth. Once I became successful, I got everything I did not have before. That is why I don't mind giving up my career if it means helping you." Yuhi trailed off. "This may be strange for me to say, but I would like to settle down. Maybe because I worked for so many years but I am tired now."

"But Yuhi you still-" He cuts her off by kissing her.

"I waited for you for so long, don't push me away now."

He is so pushy and unreasonable. No, Yuhi is saying this because he understood her feelings by now. Sumire deeply sighed. It seems like it cant be helped.

"Then okay."

Yuhi chuckled. "Want me to wash your hair for you?"

"Alright."

"Mm, you seem to be okay with me touching you."

"Well we did it already." Sumire trailed off. "Moreover Yuhi, I know you wont take advantage of me."

"Hmm who knows? Like I said provoking me is dangerous." She felt him intertwined a strand of her hair between his fingers. He gently kissed it. "If you don't mind danger however, I will give it to you everyday."

"Yuhi, why do you like me?"

Yuhi turned her around and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Uh…"

"Well, I already told you when I confessed to you. But if you are still uncertain, I have my ways to show you."

"Let go of me pervert."

Yuhi pulled her into his arms. "Are you going to say that now? I don't know what is wrong, but please understand that I love you a lot. What kind of song do you want to sing Sumire?"

"A ballad."

"Mm, you sure?"

"Yuhi, would you play the piano? Or the guitar?"

"She is asking so much. But well that does sound like a plan. I guess we can write a love song."

Sumire laughed awkwardly when she heard his reply. She didn't think of it that way but now that Yuhi mentioned it, she supposes it can't be helped.

"So Sumire, how good is your english?"

.........…..

Three hours later.

Sumire slumped her head on the table completely defeated. Yuhi is more of a slave driver than Aki or Asuka or even Shin. Writing the emotional parts of the song in english huh? It isn't a bad idea, but she isn't that good at english. She can speak basic conversational words but to sing a song? It wont be easy for her. Yuhi left a few minutes ago to attend a photo shoot. She decided it would be better to stay here then go back.

She already had an idea after what Hino said at the hospital the other day. But he treats Yuhi so well.

Her thoughts broke off when she felt somebody pick her up. Sumire glanced at the source and found Yuhi. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Bully."

Yuhi chuckled. "You couldn't finish?"

"I couldn't, what about your shoot?"

"There were some issues so it was rescheduled."

She likes inhaling his scent like this, it is one of the reasons why she sticks to him whenever she meets with him after parting. Sumire didn' t understand it very well, but Yuhi smelled very nice to her.

He gently ran his hands through her hair and then patted her back. "Do you still feel sick these days?"

"My morning sickness isn't that bad, but I still get drowsy a lot and I crave a lot of things." Sumire trailed off. Speaking of cravings.. She glanced at the bag on the table. "My pastries?"

"Yes, yes."

She immediately let go of him and walked over to the table. She opened the bag up and a lovely aroma filled the air.

"No thank you I see." Yuhi sits down beside her and pulls out a bottle of beer from the bag.

Normally she would lecture him but not today.. Sumire continued to eat her food. But she occasionally glanced over at her boyfriend. It still felt strange for her to call him that. To think she is dating Yuhi. A few years back, she would never have thought something like this was possible. Then again, back then, she did not dare to do many things.

"You know for a pregnant woman, Sumire; you don't have mood swings."

Sumire glanced over at what he was reading on his phone. "Yuhi-san, you don't have to read strange articles."

"But I don't want to do anything wrong."

Her cheeks colored. She felt slightly embarrassed. Why does Yuhi have to do things like this for? So the reason he was silent this entire time was because he was reading articles like this? He made such a serious face now.

He turned silent again, and she saw him concentrating hard. It seems like he is serious about this.

Is she deciding her future too quickly? Some people would argue that she is. She is indeed still young, but Sumire could no longer imagine a future without Terashima Yuhi. If he is taking this seriously, does this mean he wants to be with her in the future? Could she hope for that?

Moreover, these days it feels like her desires are going out of control. She wants to touch him; she wants him to touch her. It is difficult to forget her first time with Yuhi. They were clumsy at first, but after a few hours, they memorized each other's bodies and knew how to please each other.

Sumire never felt such embarrassment right until that moment. Who would have thought she could behave so shamelessly?

With the recent events, she never got much of a chance to think about it. But now things are quieter, Sumire understood how embarrassing that was. Who would have thought sleeping with someone would lead to her feeling so ashamed?

She isn't ashamed of the act. It felt good, and she would do it again. But how could she-- go along with him? It seemed stupid thinking about it now.

"Hey, why are you turning red? Do you have a fever or something?" Yuhi brushed his hands across her forehead. But Sumire suddenly pulled back.

She felt self-conscious and stupid right now.
