イタズラな KISS ~3 ✔

INK3-6

He stopped walking and made a quick turn to me to say, "Baka, you heard it right? I won't repeat myself for stupid ones like you." and then he continued walking.

"Did you just say we'll visit them again?!" I furiously asked.

"Ah," a very short reply.

"Nani?!" I shouted again, this time... this is the big news ever! "Irie-kun! They will be going nuts again! They make a festive welcoming in the streets, force you to do anything, and misspelled your name again! I don't want them to touch you and make fun of you! They are stupid! I won't let you come back to that place again!"

Irie-kun snapped me out by knocking my head by his fists, it didn't that have force but it stings!

"Ouch!" I screamed in pain and fondled the spot where he hit my head.

"And so do you," he smiled a bit, "I know you won't let me come again. You will probably use your powers again to cancel that out but I'm determined. Meeting them was fun you know, at least they are not as stupid as you." and then he smirked.

I frowned a bit but eventually, it made me smile. Irie-kun's thinking about my Mom's family is very overwhelming. I cling onto his side again and giggled. I was very happy to know that he's thinking about that. Irie-kun might be so distant if you look at him but he's actually a warm person you couldn't even imagine.

"So, you were meeting up with Miharu-chan about that? So you were not really cheating on me?" I asked.

"Baka," he just said and never let any explanations over.

"Then why did you let me go home alone last night?"

"Baka, I was scheduled for more surgeries in that evening. I can't keep you waiting for me until I am finished. I don't want to miss your dinner. And besides, it would be good for you to catch a train. I don't want you to walk all the way home. But you're the most idiot in the world, you walked it all alone and lost your way again. I got home that night knowing that you weren't still home. You got me worried there..." he said.

"I'm sorry, Irie-kun. It's because—"

He slightly patted my head again, "But you're here now, so it's fine." and then he slightly smiled with that tiny teeny smile.

It was evening. I am looking at the stars in the garden again, this time I am alone. Irie-kun took an early rest because he had done many surgeries this night. Well, I just let him so. I am a bad wife these following days and I have put him in an extreme embarrassment in lunch so, I might be better to leave him around with his burdens and workloads off on his shoulder. At least he sounded in peace.

I am wearing my pink pajamas and I let my curly hair rolled down on my shoulders. The moon is bright and shiny. It is the end of October, snow might start to fall soon. The breeze is not only cold and fresh, it's singing a happy lullaby with all the crickets around composing a repeating melody.

"Why aren't you gone to bed, Kotoko?"

Irie-kun went beside me.

I looked at him, "Irie-kun!" I jolted to my own feet, "Why are you awake? You were sleeping right?"

"How could I sleep? You just made my day with a lot of trouble..." he said and then sighed, landing his eyes on the full moon.

The moonlight directly added features on his face, making him the most handsome man under the moonlight ever.

I bowed my head towards the ground, "I'm sorry for acting such a bad wife." I sincerely apologized.

"Baka, your troubles are fun for me. But don't let yourself be put in trouble again. I meant it what I said that evening." he lifts my chin and chuckled for a bit, "I can still remember your face in the morning."
