"You want to see him that badly?" Rhys asked .
Lyn looked down and played with the hem of her skirt as she nodded, "I don't understand very well, but whenever we don't meet for a long time I get uneasy," she muttered . Lyn genuinely didn't understand, exactly why does she want to stay by Kazuya's side so badly . Why does she want to be with him always?
Is it because of love?
Though Lyn loved Allen, she never had these type of emotions before . Perhaps what she felt towards Allen wasn't love after all . A love that brings pain like this whenever they can't meet even just for a little while . This type of love - seems to hold more meaning .
"So, you basically want to be with him twenty-four seven . "
"Twenty-four," Lyn trailed off, "Ah, that's impossible . Men and women aren't allowed to bathe together unless they are married . "
Rhys looked at her, dumbfounded, "Are you crazy or something? Why restrict yourself like that?"
Crazy? Restrict herself?
What is he talking about?
A deep sigh passed Rhys lips as he muttered something about being oblivious and being an idiot .
. . . .
- Mist Kingdom Main Castle, East -
The place Rhys took her was a place Lyn was familiar with . It was one of the waiting rooms on the East side of the main castle . Lyn looked at her feet nervously, as she avoided eye contact with people passing by . What is Rhys thinking? She can't just use the main entrance . Lyn figured they would take the side entrance . However, Rhys casually walked in the main one . After holding her breath for god knows how long, they eventually arrived at the door . Rhys looked like he wanted to say something to her, but all he said was take care before he walked away .
Lyn looked at the door cautiously; it's okay to just enter right? If Rhys left just like that, then that means there is nobody else in the room but Kazuya . Lyn raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door . But she received no response . She frowned, he didn't leave . Lyn turned the door knob and carefully made her way inside . The room was the same as most of the rooms in the castle . Plain stone walls, windows on the right-hand side of the room . She found the person she was looking for hunched on the ground .
Ah?!! Is he okay? Lyn rushed over, "Kazuya? What's the matter?"
"Lyn?"
Lyn nodded, "What's wron--" her sentence fell short when she felt Kazuya's lips on hers . Since the two of them started dating, they've never kissed as in have a proper one . Sure light kisses on the cheeks and forehead happen when they say hello and goodbye, but other than greetings it's rare . Even then, those would not be considered a proper kiss .
However, this was different; this was a 'proper kiss . ' The moment his lips met hers, Lyn felt her head turn all mushy - and she didn't need a mirror to see the state of her face . Lyn felt her cheeks grow hot, as Kazuya pried open her mouth . What— what, what's happening right now? What is he doing? Isn't it obvious, he's kissing her? But why? Contrary to all these questions, Lyn knew that she didn't dislike this . The warmth that filled her body was foreign, and yet Lyn didn't reject it .
Her thoughts broke off when Kazuya pulled away slightly, "Ka—Kazuya?" Lyn called out; his face was flushed and sweaty like her own .
"Not enough," Kazuya murmured . N—not enough? Um? Kazuya gently caressed her cheeks and continued to kiss her .
Umm— is it because it's been a while? Or maybe he's just tired . Oh, this kiss feels a bit different than before . Unlike earlier, his tongue was no longer dancing around the edges .
. .
"Lyn?" Kazuya trailed off, he looked her up and down and suddenly bowed, "I'm sorry! I drank too much…"
Oh, he drank alcohol? Lyn didn't know he drank .
Would it be strange to say she didn't mind it?
"It's okay, I liked it," Lyn realized a second too late what she meant .
A serious look appeared on Kazuya's face, "You shouldn't joke about things like that . "
"I--I'm not,"
Kazuya inched closer to her again; he gently caressed her hair, "I think I haven't had enough," Kazuya repeated the words from earlier . But Lyn sensed that something was different .
. . . .
"Did you eat?" Kazuya asked as the two of them sat down on the couch . Kazuya leaned his head on her shoulders, causing her to become frantic, "Your cute when you get flustered, sorry, let me borrow your shoulders for a bit . "
He called her cute .
"Say Kazuya?"
"Hmmm,"
"Um, did you miss me?"
His lips curve to a smile, "I missed you, Lyn . Sorry I haven't been spending much time with you . I have a lot of work I have to do as the ambassador . "
"Ah-huh, I understand . "
But she's been lonely . Almost as though Kazuya read her mind, he brought his lips to her forehead and placed a light kiss there, "I'll make some more time for you, I'll drop by tonight and stay over . "
"Okay!"
Kazuya looks very tired; maybe she should stay quiet? Even though she wanted to chat with him . Lyn knew she ought to let him get some proper rest . She reached out and gently caressed his hair, come to think of it . Just now they kissed right? He said it was because he was drunk, but even then it doesn't change the fact that he kissed her . If it were just a normal peck on the lips, then maybe it would be okay . Lyn shook her head, that naive side has to vanish .
Pupillam lectured her thoroughly after the first time she kissed Kazuya . Lyn recalled the long stack of books Pupillam made regarding romance . Maybe she ought to learn something from those by now . 'A kiss is an act done between couples who have mutual feelings for each other,' is what was written in the book . Kazuya and her are a couple, but whether they have mutual feelings for each other is something Lyn is not sure of .
Rather the feelings she is thinking of is most likely different than the one that's stated in all those books and stories .
"Something wrong, Lyn?"
"I was just thinking Kazuya; I don't know how to kiss well is that a problem?"
Kazuya laughed, "You're worried about that?"
Lyn pouted, "I'm serious," she doesn't know much about 'love,' and what she does know about it is very limited . She's sixteen years old without any knowledge of this stuff, isn't that a problem?
"Then, do you want me to teach you?"
Teach?
