Part 14 ~ So Close
Isshi places a hand on either side of my body as he leans closer to me, I didn’t move, I didn’t know what to do actually.
“What would you do if I told you I liked you?” he asks softly as his breath ran along my cheek.
“I would tell you, I like you too” I manage to reply as my throat tightens up on me.
“What if it was more than a crush and the feelings ran deeper?” Isshi says as I manage to look him in the eyes and see how serious he was and then it dawns me.
“You like me more than friends, am I right?” I ask as he nods, I felt my heart flutter; he drops his lips on mine, just before it could progress anywhere my door burst opens and Isshi quickly moves off me, making me groan in annoyance.
“Sorry, but Isshi, our manager is looking for you” Shin says as Isshi manages to give him a smile.
“Alright, tell them I be there in a moment” Isshi stiffly replies as Shin leaves. We both sat there in silence.
“Want to go out when you’re able to leave the house?” Isshi asks as I give a nod, not trusting my voice. Isshi gets up and gives me a peck on the cheek. “I’ll ring you tomorrow” he says as he leaves my room and closes the door behind him. I fell onto my pillow and give a scream in annoyance.
~This sucks ass, I mean, I was kissing Isshi, or close to it. A man I have always admired and then Shin walks in…dam that manager~ I thought as I finish my tantrum and curl up with my Isshi plushie. ~This truly rules as the most pathetic day so far~
My hand reaches up to my lips, as I give a smile.
~His lips are soft~ I thought as I giggle at the thought, me and Kira had a bet on that one topic. Are Isshi’s lips as soft as they look? And dam right they were.

[Next Day]
I woke up and manage to do my daily ritual in a complete euphoria. I wonder downstairs as Haku and Kira sat at the table eating breakfast. I sat in front of my plate and proceed to eat.
“You look happy, I see you and Isshi are on good terms” Kira comments as I nod.
“I feel it to and I’m glad we are” I say as I eat my last pancake as the doorbell rings. “Also, Isshi does have soft lips” I say as I laugh and leave the room and respectively the house. Then we I hear Kira cry out.
“OMG SHE KISSED HIM” Kira cries as me Kuro laughs. We walk down the street, hand in hand.
“So Hime, nice to have the old you back” she says as we receive funny glances from people because we seem to be holding hands and not give a dam.
“I’m glad to be back, guess I needed that push” I say as I smile happily to myself.
“Isshi is back to his old self, glad you and him patched things up, wonder what the fans would think if he didn’t go back to himself” She says as I nod sadly. “Don’t feel sad, I rather like the fact he seems enthralled with you” she adds as I give a small laugh.
“Why do you say that?” I ask as she gives me a smile.
“He rang me last night, mainly to bitch. He was so happy he got his feelings out and then the manager needed him, only to tell him about the upcoming concert, which we have VIP’s for and it greatly annoyed him” Kuro says as I laughed even more, we both walk into the store and proceed to open it.
“I look forward to it” I say as Kuro smiles.
“He looks forward to seeing you there, also if he rings don’t mention that I told you this, alright?” She says as I nod and coincidentally my phone rings. I pick up after two rings.
“Moshi Moshi” I mutter.
“Hello Akiina” Isshi says as I smile happily.
“Heheh How are you?” I ask as I sat down behind the register as Kuro smirks, having a gut feeling telling her it’s Isshi as she progresses to stock the shelves with new products.
“I’m good and I bet Kuro told you, but the band has a concert coming up” he says as I manage to suppress a squeal in delight. “Kuro got tickets for everyone to go” he adds as my smile widens even more.
“I look forward to it” I happily say as Isshi gives a laugh.
“It’s in two weeks” he says as I look at the calendar, it feel on the end of the two moth period of staying home.
“A concert on the first day of freedom” I say happily as Isshi realises what I meant.
“What luck” he happily says as someone, sounds like Akiya, tells Isshi they have a photo shoot now and then an interview and also to leave me alone while we are at work. Isshi gives a sigh. “I better go, I probably see you after the interview” he adds as we both say our goodbyes and hang up. I felt so happy that the day seems to go fast.
