Dream Star 470 Start Over

Apartment Block (Star Town) 3:00 PM

 "Thanks for having me here," Lila cautiously walked into the room. Haruka chuckled when he saw her expression.

 "I will pour us some tea. So make yourself at home," Haruka walked over to the kitchen. Through the small mirror on the wall, he could get a clear glimpse of her. Lila looked around curiously.

 "You've never brought me here before, Haruka?"

 "Indeed," he had no reason to do so. Where did he put those tea bags? Although it's not a place, he comes to frequently anymore. Unlike the older man's manor. He hasn't left this place vacant for a long time.

 "I'm kinda nervous," Lila suddenly said. 

 "The nervous part will come later. So shouldn't you relax for now?"

 From the mirror, he could clearly see it. Fl.u.s.tered red cheeks and nervous sounding laughter, "En. Okay, but were going to start with my lips, right?"

 "Mmm, sounds like a plan."

After searching for some time, Haruka found the tea bags and quickly made. He brought it over and sat down opposite her.

Usually, he would sit beside her. But they ought to get the serious business out of the way first. For the next 10 minutes, no words were spoken at all as Lila fiddles with the cup in her hands, letting it cool down before she took a sip. In that somewhat tense atmosphere, it was her brightly lit eyes when she took a sip of the tea that made him feel at ease.

Heh, if Mikado and the other guys heard that he was having such soft-sounding thoughts, they'd undoubtedly laugh at him. But he can no longer return to how he was before.

 Since he was pondering on his own thoughts, those 10 minutes went by quickly until Lila spoke up. "Do you think that went well?"

After the girl's work was over, they received a call from that person saying. 'The paperwork is complete. I shall submit it at the government office by tonight. Please go to all these peoples places and make the announcement yourselves. '

When he saw how long the list was. Haruka decided to cancel both their work for the rest of the day. Once he saw that long list, he thought that it would take all day. However, Lila handled everything so smoothly.

 "Why do you have to apologize?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

 She doesn't say anything to that. "So about what you said earlier, about starting over from the beginning --" it was something she keeps bringing up since then. 

Lila, however, cuts him off, "Lately, I feel old. The new and fresh idols are so cute... "A dark, depressing aura wraps around the Lila, as she slumps her head on the table. "Indeed. I can feel it too."

 "Rest a.s.sured. I'll grow old with you too."

 The black-haired girl doesn't respond, but he found her staring at him for a few minutes, "What is it?" Haruka questioned. He doesn't mind her staring at him, but even he would be weirded out if she looks at him so seriously.

"Nothing."

"I don't understand what you mean by starting again."

Lila looked up, "I mean getting to know each other naturally, and doing couple things naturally."

"Really?"

"For example, naturally holding hands."

"Don't we always do that?" What does she mean by naturally? It's something they always do, so isn't that natural?

"Or eating meals together, or going on walks and other places together."

"We did that every day." he trails of seeing her innocent expression change to a dark one. His sweatdropped, "Alright, so we do it again. Don't sulk."

"That's right, you and me. There's nothing innocent anymore. Or rather," Lila sighed, "I don't think there was anything innocent about our relations.h.i.+p at all."

"There are still some things I don't know about you. I'll ask you now," Haruka takes a sip of the tea. "That charm lost it's power a long time ago when the structure was destroyed, but I noticed you wouldn't take it off."

Lila lifted the bracelet she wore in her hand, "Yeah, because this is important to me. It reminds me of the past. Back then, even though I had power, I couldn't do anything but cry. All I could do was wait."

Now that she mentioned it when he saw her in middle school. Lila seemed a lot more fragile.

"Yeah." She looks at him, eyes searching for his remaining answers.

"I see now. Since then, so much time has pa.s.sed."

Over time, they have both gone through a lot. Events that ordinarily people would not survive. "Haruka," Lila said as she extended her hand out. He took it immediately and pushed her down onto the table — lips already on her neck.

"Please do. Take as much as you want."

"I'll ruin you," Haruka murmured. Lila is so precious to him; he doesn't want to destroy her life. But the longer she stays with him, the longer that possibility increases. However, even now, Haruka felt her hands gently caress his hair. 'Even now, she chooses him.'

.....

After Haruka drank her blood, he buries his head on her neck and sighs deeply, "I want to have s.e.x with you right now."

Lila laughs softly, "Did Kiryu give you a warning?"

Recalling the words Austin Kiryu said earlier, a scowl appears on his face, "If you ask me. He's doing it on purpose."

"Perhaps. But we ought to listen to him."

He does get that. That fever Lila had, and the way she fell too was unusual. But with the curse, symptoms gone due to the merger. She no longer looks too sickly. There's still something there, but it's no longer life-threatening. At least that's what those two have diagnosed for now.

"I don't like listening," Haruka murmurs, as he gently bites her ear. "Mmmm."

Soft laughter escaped Lila's lips, "Aha, silly. That tickles."

"But, he didn't say that we couldn't kiss."

"Okay!"

.....

After she worked so hard, Haruka wanted to prepare a nice meal for her. However, "Sorry, there's only ramen left. Do you mind?"

"It's fine. I prefer a casual meal."

Yeah, he knows that. He remembers when their date fell through, they ended up having hamburgers on the sidewalk and she looked far more happy eating that then when they're in a fancy restaurant. Yuhi boils some water in the ketal. Then again, Lila seems to like having restaurant dates too.

"Uwaahhh! Are these your photo alb.u.ms? I knew you kept them somewhere," Lila suddenly exclaimed. He glanced over and saw that she had hunched down, alb.u.ms on her lap.

"Oi. Who said you could—" his sentence falls short when Haruka saw her pouty cheeks. What's with her? Pulling that sort of expression on him is hardly what he would call fair. "You can look at them."

"En! But I'll wait until you finish. So we can get all cuddly!"

. . Defeat. Ultimate defeat. In the first place, he's never ever once won against her, has he? From the very moment, they met each other. Lila's words and actions have always had a way of throwing him off balance.

Once he finished boiling the water. Haruka pours it inside the two open ramen packets, and stirs the contents, before bringing it over.

"Yay! It looks yummy. But first. .." she s.h.i.+fts over until she sat on his lap. Lila nodded to herself, "Cuddling with Haruka is the best."

Haruka could only stare at her. Dear lord. What on earth is she? Is it possible for somebody in this world to be so cute?

"Haruka? Do you not want to cuddle with me?"

"No, stupid. Of course, I like this," realizing what he said a second too late, Haruka averts his gaze embarra.s.sed — causing a peal of soft laughter to escape the girl's lips.

"Aha, I see!"

Haruka sighed as he caresses her black locks, "You know, recently I've thought you've gotten used to it. Messing around with me."

Lila looked at him, confused.

Yeah. Even now, Lila hasn't noticed it. What she's doing to his heart every time they are together.

"Forget it."

"I don't understand it. But is Haruka feeling conscious of me?"

She doesn't understand it. Yet she guesses his feelings in an instance. Though if the words conscious were enough to describe his feelings. He's pretty sure he would be able to handle it just fine. Does Lila not know? About the dark thoughts, he has about her?

How wonderful would it be if Lila were to be addicted to him forever? She's chosen him, and he's confident in the love she has for him. Even though she hurt so many people and it's upsetting her a great deal. She still rushes back to his arms and holds him tightly. However, he's seen many relations come to collapse after marriage.

The couple remains together, but there's a wall between them and their spouse. It depends on the circ.u.mstance and doesn't happen a lot. But he can't help but think that it will happen. Even if it's impossible, he wants them to continue in this manner even when they get older. If he were to voice out his insecurities now, Lila would surely help him. He should tell her. Not today but before he goes.

Haruka doesn't say anything and continues kissing her pretty neck. Nibbling gently on the soft skin, he gently lowers her top revealing her shoulders.. "Haruka, dummy. No touching," Lila lectured.

"Hm? Just a bit. Besides, you have a sweet scent on you. Perfume again?"

"Ah, I ate some pudding earlier. As well as cream boiled peas with honey and bean jam."

"Your tummy feels flabby recently."

"Eh? Really?"

"Perhaps."

Lila pouted, "You're not supposed to agree," she trailed off, "Would Haruka, still love me a lot if I became fat?"

"You don't need to ask that," he trails of recalling the advice Atsuya gave him a few years back, "Because I didn't fall in love with your appearance."

"You didn't?"

"Yeah. Not to say that I'm displeased about the efforts you have made for me. Your so beautiful Lila," Haruka genuinely meant these words. He knew how much effort the girl put to stand by his side. It pleased him greatly.

"Aha right! Thankies."

When he hears the sound of her phone and familiar ringtone, he frowned. Lila however, casually picked it up.

"Ah? Don't worry Kiryu," Lila confirmed the other person causing him to frown more." It's okay, Haruka is the strongest attractive, most respectable man there is. .."

Haruka noticed that Lila's words were wavering and she became unusually silent. Awake from his reverie, he discovered that she was beginning to doze off. In seconds her eyes closed. Her head dropped down to her shoulders.

He had a feeling that if he left her like that, she would surely sleep through the whole night like that. We can't have that when she has a show later on. "She fell asleep," Haruka said picking up the phone from the girl's hands. He didn't wait for a response.

Haruka lifts the girl from his lap and into his arms. When he saw her up close like this, he had the sudden urge to caress her smooth cheek, and a sudden urge to kiss her. So he did just that, light and chastise kisses which were unlike him.

"Hmmm?" Lila murmured, "Haruka?"

"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up later."

"Un, I'm so sleepy recently. I can't go on anymore. . ."

"I'll be right here when you wake up. So sleep peacefully."

"Hold my hand?" Lila asked.

Haruka smiles softly and grabbed hold of the girl's hand.

"There we go. Sleep tight, I love you, Lila."

When her eyes closed, his gaze landed on the two open noodles. Guess he can warm it up again later.
