*UNEDITED*
It would be a lie to say it didn't bother her. But now that she thought it through, Ru told her that she was the easily jealous type, even senpai said that. Sumire quickly exited the changing room deep in thought. It seems like she is having a harder time than she thought. Unlike a month ago, she is a lot better -- but it is still difficult for her to interact with other people. The only one she can speak to normally right now is Yuhi. If she were to push him away then she would be truly alone. If that happened then things will return to how they were before.
Sumire slapped her cheeks and frantically shook her head. Don't brood..
"Yuh-" Sumire trailed off when she realized something. Yuhi was talking to a very pretty girl behind the counter.
Is that somebody he knows? Yuhi knows a lot of people, he seems to know many pretty girls. Sumire decided not to interrupt them and patiently waited at the side.
"Hey, cant you give me a discount on this?"
"That depends, is it a gift for one of your playthings?"
"It's a gift for my girlfriend."
"You have a new one---" the shop clerk paused in mid-thought. "Wait huh? You admitted it?"
Sumire who was eavesdropping could not help but glance over. What is he trying to buy? By girlfriend, he means her right? Or maybe she is overthinking it. Sure everybody in school thinks they
"So what is her name?"
At that question, Sumire felt her heart beat speed up at his words.
If he does end up saying a different name, she would feel stupid.
"Sumire."
He--He said her name! Sumire did think it was her, currently there are no other girls around Yuhi but her. However there was also a chance he was seeing people in the time they werent together.
"50%."
"Hey now."
"Alright then 75%. Normally I am not allowed to do this, but since you seem serious about this girl.."
Sumire heard the sound of a beep, indicating the transaction was done. She quickly hid behind the railing again. What did he get for her? She was very curious.
"Playing hide and seek?" a familiar voice from behind her said.
At that comment Sumire froze and Yuhi sighed. "I thought I saw you, well if you heard it anyway then I wont bother surprising you." He looked around. "Lets go somewhere else, this isnt the best setting to give you a gift."
"Ah but these clothes."
"I paid for it already."
....
Tokyo Tower
Sumire heard the rumors already, but even then she did not expect such a beautiful sight. She leaned against the railing happily. "The view here is very pretty. Thank you for taking me here Yuhi."
Yuhi wrapped his arms around her from the back. She felt his breath against her skin causing her heart to skip a beat. "You like it?"
"Ah yes."
"I hope you like my gift too, stay still." Yuhi instructed.
She followed his command but it was very difficult, remaining still. Sumire could not miss how his lips lingered against her neck for a few minutes more than necessary. Seconds quickly turned into minutes and Sumire felt her entire face growing hotter. He isn't doing this deliberately is he?
Yuhi eventually spoke up. "That was hard to fasten."
Sumire looked down at her neck and saw a beautiful moon and sun charm pendant. A gold coloured sun and silver moon. "Is this for me?"
"It is, like it?"
"Was it expensive?" Sumire asked. Earlier he was bargaining with the sales clerk. Normally Yuhi would buy it without hesitation. He does not show of his wealth, but Sumire knew he had a lot of money.
"Well lets just say we ought to stay home and eat for awhile."
Sumire blinked. He clearly got a discount but it still cost him a lot? The necklace was indeed very beautiful but was something like -- Sumire examined it again. "Wait is this real gold?"
Yuhi looked away and her eyes widened, his reaction gave it away. Is he serious? Why did he randomly buy her a real gold necklace. She would understand if it were her birthday or something, but that is not until June. Sumire thought he was more careful when it came to money but it turns out that is not the case here.
"Don't look at me like that, because of this I came up with the theme for our graduation piece."
"The theme?" Sumire turned to him.
"Yeah." Yuhi pointed to the moon and sun on her necklace. "Decide if you want to paint the sun or the moon, I'm fine with either."
The sun and the moon? What kind of theme is Yuhi going for there? Sumire wanted to ask him but unfortunately Yuhi did not say anymore. It seems like he is giving her a chance to think about it. Still, she thought this earlier but -- Sumire looked at her surroundings. There are far too many couples in this place. It already surprised her seeing so many people walking around on the streets but now the unusual amount of couples bugged her. Is this one of the famous date spots or something? She was not a fan of reading magazines but she did recall her best friend reading about famous date spots. Tokyo tower was included. Her gaze fell on Yuhi who was now beside her. After he put the necklace on her, he moved away.
So even though he wants to take advantage of her, it seems he has great self control. Her gaze softened at that thought and she rested her head on his shoulders. Yuhi caressed her hair. "You okay? We could sit down if you want."
Sumire nodded and Yuhi brought her over to the seating area. It was less crowded over here and it seems like they could get a better view. Sumire wondered why the rest of the crowd prefered to stand when it is better over here.
"This area is private." Sumire commented. She could not see a sign anywhere but there should be one.
"Yeah, I used my pass."
Sumire laughed. "Abuse of power."
The two of them chose seats right by the window. Sumire rested her head on his shoulders again and Yuhi grabbed hold of her hand. She felt so content and at ease whenever she was with him. Yet, whenever she gets too comfortable all she has to do is look at the ring on her finger. This reminds her that she cannot get too close to Yuhi.
