Eternal Melody

He who was struggling to keep calm ended up kicking a nearby post. It was a good thing he was quite a distance away otherwise they would have heard him.

'Damn Nagawa, he is way too fast. I understand why Sumire has had a hard time, nobody would have seen that kiss coming, even her.'

Thankfully Sumire pulled away rather quickly. Yuhi could not miss the cold look in her eyes.

"I have a room nearby. Do you want to go?"

"No, or rather-" She stepped on his foot. "I told you not to do that!!"

"It's a habit."

"Then break it."

"Don't be angry, we won't see each other for awhile." Sano dangerously brushed his lips against her neck.

Yuhi's eyes twitched annoyed. 'That is pushing it!' The kiss aside, if he tries to sniffle her too he will definitely intervene.

Sumire swiftly moved away. "I think you should go."

"Don't be mad."

"I'll see you soon. Thank you again for the dress."

After a few more words Yuhi watched as Nagawa left.

"Sick bastard." Sumire furiously wiped her lips the moment Sano left. Then she slammed her fist against the wall. "Even if I tell him not to! What is with him, is he some kind of kissing monster?"

Yuhi watched her half curious and half amused. 'She seems angry.' Of course she is mad, that is the normal reaction. A relieved sigh passed his lips, her acting is way too good.

'She almost fooled me.' If he fell for that and walked up to interrupt them, she would surely have been upset. It's not like he doesn't want to trust her, but he knew her very well. She is the type of person to sacrifice herself to achieve her goals.

"So that's how you handle him." Yuhi waited until she had calmed down.

It was amusing watching her kick anything within sight and muttering curse words. Sometimes he forgets how fierce she can be.

Sumire sighed. "You're the weird one for just watching that."

"Well by now I understand that you're not interested."

'Still she really is good at flirting and leading people on. If I ask her where she learned that, it would surely damage their relationship.'

"Are you upset?"

"…" He doesn't reply immediately.

"Yuhi?"

Yuhi leaned down and kissed her passionately, and Sumire responded the same way.

"Mmmm, my dear. Your very horny today."

"I don't want to lose to him." Yuhi admitted. "I can tell he cares for you."

If Nagawa Sano was only messing with her and treated her like before, he wouldn't let it go this far. But at some point Yuhi realized that the man cared, and that was why he

"But I can never forgive him."

'That's true she said that before.'

"Sorry, I'm over-reacting."

"Mmm, it's okay." Sumire buried her face in his arms. "Say dearest, can we have lunch together?"

"Sure."

"Also, at night."

At night? He raised his eyebrows at this. What is she thinking of now?

Sumire laughed softly. "At night we can do something weird. I'll leave that up to you."

'She..'

Yuhi wrapped his arms around her waist. "What do you want to do at night, wife?"

"Hold me like you did earlier."

"Is that all?"

"It takes a lot of courage for me to say that."

Yuhi laughed. She is so cute. His gaze softened as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I will do whatever you say, wife."

"We're not married yet."

"Yet."

He grinned, "But it will happen sooner or later."

"Moron."

"I don't like the idea that he kissed you." Yuhi admitted.

'I have weird thoughts about her too, some very possessive ones.'

"Do you think I like it? If he wasn't useful, I wouldn't have to do such a disgusting act."

"Sorry"

Sumire leaned forward and kissed him passionately. "-kissing, I have learned it's better to do it with somebody you like."

"Do you have someone like that?"

"Mmm, currently his hands are touching somewhere unnecessary."

Yuhi chuckled. "I learned that my wife is very soft."

Sumire rolled her eyes. "I thought you knew."

Truly, he doesn't want to lose her.

….

A few hours later, it was night when he finally finished all those jobs. Even though Jun interfered with the schedule, he still had a lot to do. Although he promised to meet Sumire afterwards Yuhi knew she wouldn't wait this long. It is already nine, he was supposed to finish at six.

Yuhi blinked when he saw brown hair by the lobby entrance. Huh? 'She waited? But it's three hours after our meeting time.'

Oh she is on the phone?

"That is important information. Thank you for letting me know San."

'Nagawa?'

Sumire laughed. "Your making it sound like I would have ignored you if you didn't give me information on Lucifer."

It seems Nagawa caught on to her.

"Mmmm, me too. I like you too San."

Yuhi sighed deeply when he heard those words. This girl is really good at tricking people. Then again, this isn't something new.

"I like you too?" Yuhi said after she ended the call.

Her sweat fell. "Yuhi-san, what's with your bad timing?"

Yuhi reached over and pinched her cheeks. "You don't go overboard with your act."

Sumire sighed. "Do you truly think I can? Besides je is so easy to trick, say a few words and bang."

'I don't think that's it. Nagawa truly likes Sumire, otherwise it shouldn't be that easy.'

His thoughts broke off when she grabbed hold of his hand. "Since Yuhi-san is now free, we can go shopping right?"

"It's late."

"This is Tokyo."

Indeed, he knew that the shops would still be bustling with energy. Yuhi nodded and the two of them exited the building hand in hand. The shopping district was only a short distance away, and it didn't take long before they reached it.

His thoughts broke off when Sumire let go of his hand and skipped ahead happily. Yuhi looked up and saw Christmas illumination lights lined up on both sides of the streets.

There was a large Christmas tree in the center, and he could hear different Christmas songs from every shop. Right, it's almost Christmas.

'I already have her present, but I feel like she might want something else.'

His thoughts broke off when he saw her standing in front of a stall. Yuhi thought he could get some ideas but once he saw what it was, he felt like his heart would stop. The shop vendeour was selling all types of rings.

'This girl is going to give me a heart attack.'

Yuhi sighed deeply and appeared beside her. She was too focused on the rings to notice his presence.

He watched her for a bit and saw her gaze on a particular ring. He reached out for it, and passed it to the shopkeeper. "I'll buy this."

"Ah sir you have a good eye."

"Yeah."

Sumire looked at him dumbfounded, it looked like she was about to protest. But it was already too late since the shopkeeper was wrapping up the ring.

Neither of them said anything until they were a distance away from the stall.

"Give me your hand."

"I--take it back."

"Sumire."

"I know it's shameful for me to ask you for a ring, but I--" He cuts her sentence short by slipping the ring onto her finger. Sumire's cheeks coloured. "Are you an idiot?"
