9| Things Yet to Happen

"Oh~fine with me, have fun~"

Tsurugi let out a low growl.

"Tsu-tsurugi, I can manage just... practice," I said, avoiding eye contact

Since you don't want to be with me...

What?! Why am I thinking like this?!

"No one's good in treating wounds here, the clinic staffs are in a christmas break,"

"Oh, Tsurugi, I think I can hel-" Aoi tried to say but Midori clamped her mouth

"Go on, enjoy," she smirked as I feel my cheeks heat

He guided me to the clubroom in silence.

Only the beating of my heart can be heard...

That again!

His next move was unexpected, he moved some of my loose bangs up then leaned his...

[Arturia: Hehe...what do you guys think their doing?
Tenma: What?!
Tsurugi: Don't delay the story, you idiots!]

...forehead to mines. I felt my cheeks heat up, this time, much hotter than usual.

With his eyes closed, he nodded, "You do have a fever,"

"Tsu-tsu...ri...gi..."

"Hmm?" He opened his eyes

Our stares locked at each other, then his face started to redden too.

He seemed realized the sitiuation but he didn't move away. Instead his gaze landed on my lips, slowly moving his own towards mine.

"Tenma..." he said as his lips brush to mines

"I-"

He now realized what was happening, so am I

"Go-gomen," he pulled away

"N-no, sumanai..." I said disappointed

"Let's treat your wounds now," he said getting the first aid kit

Every time his hand touches my bruises, I flinch, not because it hurts, its because of his soft touches that send shivers down my spine.

"There, can you walk Matsuzake?"

I nodded then tried to walk, instead I fell on the ground, "Ouch..."

But it's not the ground the I fell on, it's...

"Tsurugi?! Are you okay?!!" I freaked out, trying to stand up again but tripped my feet, landing on him again.

"Hmm-!" We both muffled as we see our lips attached to the other.

I pulled away, unwillingly, "Tsu-tsurugi, I-I'm so-sorry..." I muttered

Tsurugi, who was silent from the happenings awhile ago, finally talked, "Are you fine?"

"Yeah..."

"But you can't walk," he guided me to the chair

"But I can play soccer!"

"You soccer freak, care about yourself for a while will ya?" Tsurugi said

"Eh...?"

"Fine do it for me then," Tsurugi, leaned closer

"Fi-fine..." I muttered then laid myself

"There, sleep,"

"Hai, hai, wakatta yo!" I said, slowly trying to drift to sleep
