Chapter 81 - Blue Stone Of Happiness (2/2)

”Yeah.”

Her eyes widened alarmed; he's in pain? Did he get hurt? When? How come she didn't notice? Okay, so if Kazuya did get hurt, he probably wouldn't be able to hold her like this. Still, Lyn examined him for wounds and Kazuya laughed, ”I'm in pain Lyn, but not that kind of pain.”

If it isn't physical, what is he talking about? Lyn stared at him; the confusion grew.

”My heart has been broken,” Kazuya explained. Ahh? Could it be that Kazuya really likes her sister instead, but got turned down? While Lyn felt the whole confession thing was odd, she decided not to dwell on it, considering how well he treated her. But could it be this entire time she misunderstood everything? And Kazuya doesn't really like her that way, but her sister instead? As these thoughts ran through her mind, Kazuya's lips gently brushed against hers, ”

”How could you think such a think such a thing, when I love you so much?”

The answer was unexpected, and Lyn felt her cheeks grow increasingly hot. The two of them are a couple, so it's only natural for Kazuya to say these words to her and yet Lyn felt her heart beat grow rapid. Wow, wow, wow - she didn't expect Kazuya to say the words 'I love' so easily, and 'so much.' Kazuya, loves her a lot? Just saying, 'I like' is difficult for her. But Kazuya said the love word so easily, and Lyn didn't have to look at his face to understand that he meant it.

Just knowing that he felt so strongly for her before was embarrassing enough, but now she's heard him declare his love. Kazuya reached over and brushed his hand on her forehead, ”Lyn? What's wrong? Your face has gone red.”

Lyn brought her lips to his ear before she said, ”I'm embarrassed, but I think I like it.”

”Lyn....you know, you probably shouldn't do that.”

”Do what?”

”Whisper in my ear, it's bad for my heart.”

There are problems with his heart whenever she whispers in his ear? ”I got it; I won't!”

Kazuya scratched his face, ”You know, I can pretty much guess what conclusion you just came up with,” he trailed off, ”It's bad for my heart because I'm embarrassed too.”

That has to be a lie, Kazuya always acts so calmly whenever he holds her. Sure there are times where he is blushing like herself. But most of the times Kazuya is in complete control of everything. It's unfair. Oh, now that she thought about it. This would be considered a 'romantic moment' correct? Lyn was patiently waiting for a good time to bring out the pendant.

Lyn slipped free from his hold and reached over for her rucksack and pulled out the small bag and turned to him, ”What's that?” Kazuya asked.

She shyly holds up the box, that she just removed from the bag, ”It's for you, Kazuya.”

”For me? You didn't have to,” Kazuya opened the box, ”Ah, this is?”

”It's a guardian stone that brings happiness,” Lyn explained, ”I was thinking long and hard what to get you. There were many pendants there, even amulets that focus on health,” she was almost half tempted to get that one. But it didn't feel right to give a good health amulet. By providing a charm regarding health, it's like a curse saying something terrible will happen.
