Eternal Melody

Yuhi opened the door and strolled in.

Sumire spotted him first, her eyes brightened. "My dearest darling!" She almost jumped out of the bed but Nagawa pushed her back down with a stern gaze. She laughed again and covered her mouth. "Right, I have to behave."

Geez still as energetic as ever huh? He eventually reached her bed, and pulled out the stool on the side.

"I came here to bother you with this." Yuhi held up an envelope. "The others looked through the songs for the concert and gave it the okay. They have already started to practice. But the title track?"

"Ah don't worry! I finished it off after you dropped me yesterday." Sumire pulled out some score sheets from the bedside table and passed it to him, alongside her music player and headphones.

Yuhi accepted it and listened for a few minutes. Yesterday he said it was awkward for those guys to sing songs that expose her feelings for him. But this is way too much. This idiot, even if she loves him this much she is completely exposing herself.

"Uh how is it?" Sumire asked nervously.

"Nagawa can you leave?"

"What?" Sano seemed bothered by that suggestion.

"Uh, you don't have to." Sumire interjected. "What's wrong Yuhi?"

"I have said this to you before. But I am an expert when it comes to reading music."

"Ah-huh." She nodded her head slowly. It seemed like the girl still didn't get it.

"Then you want me to say it when he is in the room?"

She still looked confused so Yuhi took a deep breathe.

"Your feelings for me really pour through when your writing your music-" His sentence fell short when she covered his mouth with her fingers and looked down.

"Are you running away again?"

"Hooligan." She mumbled. "San, I'm sorry can you leave?"

"I see."

Nagawa didnt seem too pleased but he quickly left and slammed the door behind him.

The moment Nagawa left, Yuhi pushed Sumire down into the bed.

"Hooligan."

Yuhi chuckled. "Am I?"

"You're so unreasonable…"

"You're the one who confessed to me just now. I'm just giving you my reply."

'It's fun to tease her. Normally she has her guard up, and teases people.' Besides, he wants to show her again how much he loves her. The last two months it seems she has suppressed her feelings and now it is pouring out again.

The girl was averting her gaze but he felt her fingers on his shirt buttons.

"Sumire." Yuhi said softly. "Will you let me?"

"This is a hospital."

"Nagawa always chases away the staff whenever he wants to see you. Nobody is on this floor right now."

"But--".

Is she worried that he would still be nearby? Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "I really missed you."

"If you put it that way you know I cant say anything."

…..

Yuhi almost forgot how nice it felt holding the girl in his arms. So when he finishes three hours later, he hugs her tightly for a few extra minutes. She is so soft and so warm, he could stay with her like this forever. But he recalled what Nagawa said about a fever and sat up.

He pulled out a cigarette from the bedside and lit his lighter. He didn't know what it was but he has a bad habit of smoking whenever they did it.

"Put something on."

Sumire rolled her eyes. "You're the one who attacked me mister."

"Well thats why," Yuhi looked around. Where did he put her hospital gown?

She laughed and happily took the shirt he discarded earlier. "Alright I will wear this. You have another set of clothes anyway."

Indeed, since he planned to go to a formal gathering after this. Yuhi extended his free hand out and brushed it across her forehead. The heat from earlier seemed to have gone down.

"I think your fever went away."

"Ah is it because we did it?'

"Like hell."

Sumire laughed again. "I'm happy, thank you Yuhi-san."

"You cold? You might need more layers." He doubts that shirt is enough for her.

Sumire pointed to the drawer. "I think San put some new clothes there."

Yuhi frowned. He doesn't like the idea of her wearing something another guy gave her.

"On second thoughts..maybe I can get more of a feel."

She rolled her eyes and pushed his arms away. "Quit it, I'm still a patient."

"A patient huh, those were some sexy sounds--" His sentence fell short when she jabbed his stomach with her elbow.

Yuhi yelped in pain. "Ouch you can still pack a punch?"

"Mmm, of course I'm not the underworld Queen for a reason."

So scary, but Yuhi wrapped his arms around her again. "It's not like I'm nothing."

"Yuhi."

"You're so beautiful."

"Yuhi," she mumbled. A content sith passed her lips as he placed kisses down her neck line. "This is nice."

"It is, but are you hungry? You missed out on dinner."

He didn't intend for it to take this long. Initially he only visited to grab the song, discuss it and go back so he could show his teammates. But after listening to that, and seeing those lyrics of course he couldn't keep his hands off her.

"Then let's go out! I want to eat out."

It was still fairly early, and this is Tokyo. There are a lot of places open in the middle of the night. Yuhi nodded at her suggestion but paused for a moment.

"Don't you need permission?"

"San gave me a permit. He said even if I have to recover, not getting fresh air isn't good. But ah my dearest, it's still hard for me to walk."

Yuhi rolled his eyes when he heard her suggestive tone. "Want me to princess carry or piggyback you like a child?"

Her cheeks puffed at those words. "I am not a child!!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"I just wanted to cling to your arm. You're the one thinking odd things Yuhi-san."

What a cheeky mouth she has. Yuhi leaned forward and cupped her cheeks, causing her to look away.

"You sure you shouldn't ask Nagawa?"

"He isn't my boyfriend, you are."

"But he--"

Something is different now about him. Is that why he is uneasy?

"Let's go on a date, okay Yuhi?"

Well if she puts it that way he won't reject it. He turned to the drawer, "We are going to go shopping but for now pick something out."

Her eyes brightened at those words. "Ah you're going to pick clothes for me? Then let's go quickly."

What a silly girl. His gaze softened but he recalled something that was inside his bag. He actually came here to give that to her but maybe it is fine for now. Right now she is smiling so brightly, how could he possibly spoil things for her?
