Eternal Melody

Hino shook his head. What is he doing? Such negative thoughts are beyond him. "Then discuss it with Yuhi first and tell me right away. Will you two still attend the remaining days in the festival?"

"Mm, since I am supposed to sing."

"I will send a car around in the morning. The reporters will be laying wait early, but I doubt they will realize you will do the same."

"Okay, thank you."

He said a few more words before ending the call. Hino returned to his computer screen.There were many people discussing how Sumire should indeed come out and say something. His gaze fell on the hate comments and frowned.

Should I delete them?

But if I did that, the netizens would notice and it would reflect badly on Sumire. For now he should leave it but he wont allow such negative things about her on the net for long.

It is difficult for him to take action since Sumire is not a member of his company.

Posting her statement on this website was fine, since she is Yuhis girlfriend. But other formal announcements and events, it would be hard for them to intervene. It is not like she has a bad relationship with her company. So Hino wondered why Sumire was not contacting them.

Is there something he doesnt know?

-------------

The second day of the festival, Yuhi remained more vigilant and cautious. While Hino sent the car around and they managed to arrive safely. Yuhi could already see members of the media lurking around. However because he remained by Sumires side the entire time, nobody could get close to her.

It helps that their other classmates are around Sumire too. Everybody must have silently come to an agreement to help out after they saw the painting yesterday.

With normal people around Sumire, it wont be easy for the media to get close to her. So Yuhi supposes that was one problem solved. Still it wont do him any harm to remain cautious.

Yuhi cursed in his head when his heart sped a beat when she extended her hand out.

'I destroyed all the impulses I have for her a thousand times. I made sure to crush it all. But what is this situation now? I can't let you get closer. God, I want —

"Ah!" Sumire eyes widened at her hands. "The honey! It's dripping everywhere!"

Honey dripping? Yuhi finally realized what was going on. The two of them were having a short break and were eating silently in the corner of the stairwell. He was pouring honey onto Sumires waffles for her but it seemed like he accidentally got it on her hands instead.

"Hm? Oh."

He brought her hand to his lips like it was the most natural thing in the world. He managed to catch the trail of honey that was about to vanish into her sleeve.

Her hand trembled but she didn't pull away. "Um…?" Sumire suddenly looked nervous. "What on earth..?"

Honey coated his lips, as Yuhi continued to suck on the tender flesh.

This isn't enough, he wanted more. The voice inside his head was making him lose control. He wanted her fingers in his mouth, wanted to taste each and every --

"Ah.." hearing the small moan that came out of the girl's lips, he lost all control of his senses and pushed the girl down. "Yuhi…"

"Sorry." Yuhi mumbled. "I wont do anything but I just want to.."

He wants to feel her. He wants to do more things to her. Stupid age difference. If Sumire and him were the same age then he could do something and nobody would care. Maybe he would not have these thoughts if he did not touch her that one time.

Then again it seems like even if he didn't touch her, something would have happened eventually.

...…..

Once the brunette left, he heard a clapping sound. Yuhi sighed once he saw a man with blonde hair.

I thought this guy returned to Star Town already. But it seems like he is still lurking around.

"What do you want Masaru?" Yuhi said.

"Such a cold hearted guy as usual. Careful though that type is popular with the ladies, they become extremely cautious."

At that he clicked his tongue recalling the brunette's behaviour earlier, so that was just her being cautious? Somehow its irritating, though its something he knew already.

"As for what I want, I just came here to see the festival."

"Liar, nanairo feather are having problems aren't they?" ????????????????????????????. ᴄ????m

Masaru smiles. "As expected your sharp."

"Not really. Hino likes to surf the net a lot and found out. Though it hasn't been made public yet so she hasn't caught wind of it..." Yuhi trails off. "The reason is Ichinose?"

"Indeed that's right. Even if we all do our best, plenty of groups have centers now - a single one. Our group has gained attention for the wrong reasons. Everyone snaps a lot whenever ' center' is mentioned - and not to mention how you all seem to sing Lady's songs so well.

Mikaze was the first to loose it, followed by Masa - Daiki, Ochiibichan. Me and Nao while we were still calm came over here but even I'm beginning to lose my confidence.

I came here to check on Sumire. But it seems like I don't have to worry at all." Masaru pulled out a rose from god knows where. "Over here, there is a chance for her to be free."

At that comment his eyes went wide, what is he...?

"If by some chance something does happen to us. Yuhi take her."

Hold on what? When Yuhi looked up and saw that a serious looked replaced the playful look.

"You want me to take her away?" Yuhi repeated making sure he heard correctly.

How is that possible? Yuhi understood how important Sumire was to the guys in Nanairo Feather. To think Masaru is saying something like this. Is the situation that bad?

Nanairo Feather is the group Sumire composes for. They were also her main inspiration for that painting back in middle school. After seeing that painting, he understood how important those people were to her.

He found this hard to believe. While he kept up to date with that groups activities. Yuhi did not think the situation is worse enough for Masaru to say something like this. Maybe there is more to this situation than meets the eye.
