Chapter 65 - Hes Good At Taking Care Of People (1/2)

1 hour later

Lyn peeked from her blanket, she wanted to go to sleep and she did for a good few minutes. But Kazuya's presence was awfully distracting. When she last stayed over, Lyn didn't have time to look around much since she was confined to her bed. That's the case now too, but she could still look around. She could hear the faint sound of a knife on a cutting board. He's cutting something. He must be cooking for her. Even now Lyn still found it strange that Kazuya knew how to cook.

When they first met, she got a laid back and down-to-earth impression from him. That didn't change at all, even when she got to know him. But since they started dating, Lyn has learned more and more about him.

.....

When she opened her eyes again, Lyn felt a warm hand on her face. The last thing she expected was to wake up to this panic-inducing situation. However, despite this, Lyn calmly asked him.

”Kazuya, are you going to kiss me?”

Kazuya's expression changed and he becomes frantic.

”L-listen, like you said I think we should take this relationship slowly. We shouldn't rush anything.”

Lyn looked at him confused, kissing is rushing things? But didn't they kiss recently? A very long one she had to add, Lyn tugged on his sleeve, ”But I want to,” and she wasn't saying this due to the spur of the moment. Or perhaps she was. But seeing Kazuya so close to her, despite her embarrassment - she wanted his lips on hers.

It was light and certainly not as long as before, but it was a kiss regardless. When Kazuya pulled away, they hear the sound of clattering and Kazuya rushed over, ”Damn, the pot,” he muttered.

His lips, they taste of cigarette.

Lyn didn't know he smoked. Then again considering how Rhys smoked, and so did the majority of the Sound Kingdom group. It shouldn't have surprised her too much.

When Kazuya returned with a tray of food, the wonderful aroma grew stronger and Lyn looked at the tray with wide eyes. There were several dishes there, some she recognized, but some she wasn't sure of. The dishes she did recognize were all Western dishes.

”Omelette?” Lyn repeated when she saw the yellow dish, ”It looks different.”

”This is how we make it in the East.”

Lyn nodded, as she excitedly took the spoon and dug in. A fluffy sensation filled her mouth, ”Yummy, this tastes so good.”

”Glad you like it.”

”And um, what's this?” Lyn asked as she looked towards the other plate.

Lyn was suddenly fully aware of how Kazuya had been looking at her, and she turned shy, 'What is he doing, he's making her feel nervous,' Lyn thought to herself as she played with her spoon.

”I was thinking Lyn, maybe I could move in near your quarters? You know, to make it easier.”

Ah, he's talking about the nightmares. Lyn shook her head and explained the situation about her brothers magic, ”So you see, it's okay.”

Kazuya looked dejected and it took her a split second to realize why he even made that offer. Does he really want to stay over so much? While Lyn liked it when Kazuya stayed with her, she knew full well the dangers that came with him being by her side. Lately, the amount of people who are catching word of her existence has increased, she doesn't want to put him at risk.
