Eternal Melody

Chapter 649 Frustration and Jealousy

　　Yuhi\'s gaze fell on the library\'s ceiling, deep in thought. Initially, he was reading, but he started to get dizzy, so he lay down on the couch.

　　Back then, their gaze would subconsciously meet with one another, and before he knew it, he could no longer look away from her.

　　The reason he joined the Holy Knights, contrary to what others think, wasn\'t because of Ibuki Sumire. He was being pressured by the idol entertainment board and wanted a break from the entertainment industry. Right around that time, Mamoru told him that the Holy knight\'s group was short of people.

　　He didn\'t think much of the casual invitation, but when he saw Sumire there. \'I wanted to beat Mamoru up.\' That guy knew his feelings towards her and did this deliberately.

　　On his first day, he learned he had to be her partner, and felt like his heart would stop. Even now, when he remembers it, he feels frustrated. 

　　Even though Sumire treated him coldly initially, it didn\'t stop him from watching over her.

　　He wants to know more about her, even if it is a little. He wasn\'t deluded, thinking that this would be enough to bring him closer to her. But that didn\'t matter; he just wanted to get to know her.

　　Yuhi sat up, walked over to the desk, and sat down on the chair as he continued to read and sighed deeply. What is he doing thinking about the past now? He ought to focus on the present.

　　For the last few minutes, somebody has been staring at him intently. The culprit to that staring is none other than his wife to be Sumire. She was peering at him in curiosity, occasionally, her cheeks would turn red, and she would slap her cheeks.

　　His lips curve to a smile. What is she thinking? Recently she does such cute things it makes him want to swallow her whole. 

　　After watching him for a few minutes, he hears the girl eventually shuffle over. It did not take long before he was back on the couch but with the girl pinned below him.

　　"Uh." Sumire laughed softly. "What is it?"

　　"Are you here to seduce me?" Yuhi mumbled. "If you came to seduce, unfortunately, you have to fill some criteria."

　　"What type of criteria?" Sumire played with his hair. 

　　"You must be one hundred and eighty-one centimeters, have brown hair and amethyst-colored eyes. You have to be cute, preppy, and adorable." Yuhi trailed off. "You also have to have the title of wife."

　　"I think you are talking about me, mister."

　　"I see, then-" Yuhi leaned forward. "I suppose I can have a little taste." His lips trailed against her jaw before he moved them towards her smooth neck.

　　He sees her close her eyes right as his lips penetrate her skin. She tastes so good. Yuhi paused when he heard a soft moan escape her lips, followed by her delicate fingers gripping his back.

　　\'Geez, what is she doing going along with this?\' Since Christmas, it feels like they have both gone crazy. Is it because that was the first time since they became a couple that they spent proper time with one another?

　　He wonders what Sumire is thinking right now. Does she even remember they are in the library? He chose a quiet area, but there are still people here. No, right now, this girl wouldn\'t bother with such thoughts; right now, she is only focusing on him.

　　Neither of them could think straight, and he was all over her. But, it seemed like one of them regained their senses since she stopped him when he lifted her shirt.

　　"Y-Yuhi-san, you are acting very weird."

　　"Am I?" Yuhi mumbled.

　　"Mm, is something bothering you?"

　　"Did you rush off to speak with Masjima Toh?" Yuhi decided that there was no use pretending. Rather his frustration is at its peak.

　　"Ah, yes. The card looked familiar, so I thought I\'d ask directly."

　　"That\'s all?"

　　"We talked for a bit."

　　\'That annoys me more than I thought it would. Mashima Toh will be a formidable rival.\' Still, right now, the one who is dating Sumire is him. He is the one with the advantage.

　　Yuhi moved her hand away and proceeded to tear her shirt.

　　"Y-Yuhi."

　　"I"m going to take the bold approach to win. Stay still."

　　"N-No,"

　　"Why?" Yuhi grumbled. Wasn\'t she okay with it a few minutes ago?

　　No, hold on a second. He shouldn\'t do this with her. Yuhi removed his hand, and Sumire looked at him, puzzled.

　　"I shouldn\'t touch you when you\'re pregnant."

　　"C-calm down, Yuhi. I know you have fantasies, but-"

　　"Sumire, you\'re pregnant," Yuhi repeated seriously.

　　Thee girl was still in disbelie for a momentf, but then she suddenly grabbed hold of his shirt sleeve.

　　"I-I didn\'t fool around."

　　"Silly girl, I know that. Of course, it\'s mine."

　　Sumire sighed in relief.

　　That\'s strange; why is that the first thought she had regarding her pregnancy? Did something happen between her and Nagawa? No, considering the time scale. Sumire didn\'t see Nagawa Sano at that time. Moreover, no matter how unusual her behavior is towards that man.

　　Yuhi understood how she felt about Nagawa touching her. He knew how disgusted and frightened she felt.

　　"So? What do you think?"

　　"I suppose that explains why I feel unwell recently. Could we go to the hospital?"

　　Yuhi sighed when he heard her words. He reached over and stretched her cheeks. "You don\'t believe me?"

　　"That\'s not it; just wouldn\'t it make more sense for me to get a check-up done?"

　　"Dou want Nagawa to directly confirm it? Your so cruel."

　　Sumire pouted. "You\'re the cruel one; you should have told me. But ah, I wonder how long it\'s been." 

　　How long, huh? Yuhi found himself thinking of winter break. Well, isn\'t it obvious when it could have happened? Before then, they were too busy and barely had time to spend with each other.

　　\'I shouldn\'t have attacked her so much.\' Despite having such thoughts, it was hard for him to say that he regretted it. How could he ever regret being intimate with her? 

　　If he is going to regret anything, it\'s not doing more with her. 

　　"So let\'s-" Yuhi paused when he saw how red her face was. "Hey, don\'t explode."

　　"It\'s your fault if I do!" Sumire trailed off. "This is your fault because you attacked me like some type of beast during winter break."

　　Yuhi raised his eyebrow. Is she conveniently forgetting that she was the one who pounced on him first? He grabbed hold of her hand. "Shall we go?"

　　"Mm."
