Seven Coloured Melody

5they are together. Had this been any other woman, the words worship would have meant him worshipping her body. But with her, it's different. Everything is different.     

Sumire must have seen the gentle look in his eyes since she blushed. "You don't have to look at me like that, I'm not anybody amazing."     

"You're right. You're so much more." Toh didn't hesitate.     

"Y-your really impossible." Sumire's face had turned redder and he chuckled. "This isn't funny! You have no idea what your doing to me."     

Isn't that his line? This girl has no idea what she does to him daily. Actually whenever he sees her this red and flushed when he expresses his feelings for her it makes certain parts in his body heat up.     

Toh shakes his head. 'I really am losing my mind.' He has slept with countless women already. So he isn't new to sex. But, recently he doesn't trust his own hormones.     

Seeing her eyelids close, he sighed deeply and placed his hand over her eyes. "Sleep, I'll wake you when we get there."     

Sumire nodded and grabbed hold of his hand before closing her eyes shut. His heart melted seeing their intertwined hands.     

This is really doing damage to his heart.     

'Once this trip is over, I really will have to confront Lucifer about not wanting to do the job anymore. I don't know how he will retaliate. He has allowed me to get away with everything so far, but if I cross this line. No doubt there will be consequences.'     

But, he squeezed Sumire's hands tighter. This girl is worth it, worth him sacrificing and tossing everything away.     

.....     

Inn.     

Despite the random delay in the middle of their journey, they still managed to get to arrive on time for their booking. That delay was unusual, he already planned to investigate it when he gets the chance. For now, his gaze landed on the room. It was an average traditional japanese inn room, tatami matted floors, a large window, a large wooden table in the center. Two sliding doors on each side.     

"Wow. it's so spacious!" Sumire beamed happily.     

Toh's gaze flickered towards one of the open sliding doors where two futons laid side by side and frowned. Why is there two? How inconvenient. Isn't this supposed to be a suite for couples?     

Sumire happily started to unpack her belongings. "Shall we go once we finish?"     

"To the hot springs?"     

Sumire looked at him blankly. "Uh, I mean we will walk around and look at all the different attractions."     

"I see."     

Now that he thinks about it, she did mention something like that when she first brought up the trip. But he didn't actually take her seriously. When a person hears the word hotspring trip, naturally the first thing that comes into mind is taking a dip in the hot springs. For couples going on a trip like this together means well sex, and more of it.     

To get to know each other physically. However, he recalled what Sumire told him. She is definitely serious about wanting to learn more about him. The reason why that thought never crossed his mind is because nobody has truly ever tried to get to know him.     

The real him, the one who doesn't fake their smiles in public or listen to orders out of obligation to pay a never ending debt.     

She wants to know the side of himself that he buried away. Toh grabbed her arm, and stopped her from unpacking. The moment Sumire looked at him, he leaned down and crushed her pretty lips with hers.     

Soft, and warmth. Kissing a girl has never felt so good to him. After kissing for a few minutes, he pulled away from her.     

"I'll hold back until tonight. But prepare yourself." Toh declared.     

Toh turned around to grab his own bag and unpack his belongings, only to feel Sumire tug on his sleeves. He turned to her, only to find her a blushing mess. Toh blinked, is it because of the kiss just now? He didn't use his tongue that much. In fact he gave her what he considered a playful kiss.     

"Tonight hat will you do?" Sumire suddenly asked.     

It takes him a moment to understand what she was asking. How unexpected, he didn't think she would want to know the details.     

"Do you want me to describe it?" Toh paused and scanned her expression.     

Of course, it's not that simple.     

"If possible."     

She doesn't have to look that afraid. If she truly isn't ready, he won't push it. Toh slowly begins to explain it to her. The entire time he tried to use polite language knowing it would be better for her.     

"Oh." Her cheeks coloured. "So..do I have to stay still?"     

Toh frowned.     

"No, you're not a doll."     

What did that man teach her? Toh knew this wasn't the best time. But, if they are truly going to do it today. He wants to hear more about her relationship with her ex. He wants to make sure that he doesn't trigger her or make anything unpleasant.     

Toh takes a deep breath before asking. "So, can you tell me now? About Nagawa and you?"     

Sumire seemed surprised by his question or maybe because he said the guy's name without scowling.     

"I thought we talked about him already."     

Toh shakes his head. "Not everything. I have been evading questions about your physical relationship." He sees her flinch but continues. "I know you have told me bits and pieces. But, I need to know everything."     

Should he explain why to her? His thoughts break off when Sumire pointed to the chairs. "Can we sit over there?"     

He nodded and sat down. The minute he did that, Sumire placed herself not on the seat beside him but on his lap. Toh blinked before bursting into laughter. "What do you call this situation beautiful?"     

"I-If I try to escape, you can hug me tightly."     

"Only when your escaping?" Toh wrapped his arms around her and pulled the girl's body closer. He buried his face in her neck inhaling her sweet natural scent. But there was something else there too.     

Perfume. 'I have noticed that she is making more of an effort with her appearance recently.'     

"N-no, you can do it whenever."     

Despite how nervous she is, she isn't making any attempts to leave his arms. Perhaps tonight will go smoothly after all.     

It takes a few minutes before Sumire starts to explain.     

"When we first started dating, there was a few harmless kisses. Kisses on the cheek, on the lips. Occasionally he would kiss any injuries I'd obtain from falling over or blisters from my cooking attempts. It was harmless and sweet. But, I think it was after a month or two where I started to notice that he wanted more. I decided to just ask him, because at the time I thought I could tell him everything." Sumire paused. "I didn't think he would be that frank about what he wanted from me."     

Toh's eyes twitched annoyed. Two months into the dammed relationship? Or less? A bastard, that guy really is a bastard.
