What you want to do

TOH

It was well into the afternoon, almost two when he finally left his studio. He kept himself occupied with designing and making clothes, until the suffocated feeling in his chest decreased. An hour and a half had actually passed since his anger had vanished. He could have left any time, but he ended up working on something for her and got distracted. Stepping into the room, he found Sumire's guitar leaning on the couch, music sheets scattered on the table.

Sumire however was in the kitchen. Toh watched for a few minutes, before she turned to face him.

"Ah-aft-after-ouch I bit my tongue."

His lips curved amused as he walked over, wrapped his arms around her waist. Then he cupped her cheeks and kissed her. "Hi, beautiful. It seems you have been busy."

"Mm."

"Is that lunch?"

Sumire nodded.

"Sorry for yesterday and this morning, you were right I was upset." Toh apologized.

He truly regretted his behaviour.

"You're not..anymore?" Sumire asked carefully.

He cringed seeing her flinch. 'Even though I told her that I would be her safe place in the darkness.'

Toh shakes his head. "I may have had the right to get angry. But, after experiencing something that horrifying. I should have allowed you to process the information. I shouldn't have lashed out at you like that." He kissed her forehead softly.

Toh lifted her onto the counter and brushed his forehead against hers.

"You're very red."

"It's just the light--"

His lips curved to a smile. "I think you forgot how well I know you." Toh kissed her again, and light moans escaped the girl's lips.

Gosh, that sound. He loves the sounds she makes. 

Toh broke the kiss. "Should we continue this in the room?"

"Make up sex?" Sumire mumbled.

He chuckled, "You can call it that."

"Toh." Sumire caressed his cheek. "I like you a lot."

"You do?" Toh said with a slight frown.

Even if he had forgiven her, a part of him is still doubtful of her. Doubtful of her words. Knowing that she could easily twist her words to appease him and lie again. Toh shakes his head, last night was the first time he saw her cry so much. He needs to give her the benefit of the doubt. Nobody around her has taught her properly. They have always let her get away with everything. No, Aki has allowed her to get away with things.

 He needs to be the one to teach her. 

"I'll make it up to you today, what would you like to do?"

"I want to do something you want to do Toh."

Toh blinked hearing her request, and his lips curve to a smile. "What if I wanted to do it all day?"

At those words her cheeks flushed red and she looked at him horrified. "I-I don't think that's sensible."

Toh's lips curved to an amused smirk. "Since when was I sensible, love?" He leaned over and nipped on her earlobe to prove his point. "But, I do understand what your saying. You told me the other day, that you spoke with Nagawa. Can you tell me the details of that conversation?"

Sumire nodded. "Can we eat and talk?"

"Of course."

Toh helped her bring over the food to the living room table, and pulled the girl onto his lap as they sat on the couch.

Sumire rolled her eyes. "Have I ever mentioned to you how difficult it is to eat like this?"

"You did beautiful, but I am still punishing you."

Sumire sighed. "I suppose I can't argue against that."

"You and Nagawa talked?"

Sumire nodded and explained what happened. "If that is truly the case. Then it wasn't his fault."

'It was Lucifer's fault. I investigated the issue when I learned that Nagawa was part of the Black alice organisation. But, I didn't get much information.' However, with Sumire's explanation everything make sense.

He knows Lucifer very well, knows how he can easily manipulate people to do his bidding. As much as he dislikes the man, Toh understands, his circumstances. 

"Will you--" Toh started.

He knows he asked her this the other day, but neither of them were in the best state emotionally. Now that Sumire understands that Nagawa didn't intend to break her heart, would 

She shakes her head. "If it really is like that. I need to stay further away."

He sighs a breath of relief he didnt knoe he was holding back.

Sumire laughed. "Were you really jealous?"

"I'll admit. Jealousy is a monster."

Her gaze softened and she caressed his cheeks. "I won't leave you. Seeing san actually cleared my mind a bit."

"It did?"

"Regarding my feelings. The love I have for Yuhi, and the love I am fostering towards you - are both different. I don't have to compare them."

"You love me?"

Sumire laughed. "Yes, I do. I love you."

A devious smile appeared across his lips. "Thank god." He said before leaning down and kissing her passionately.

This wasn't the angry kiss that he gave her earlier or even the kiss from this morning. This kiss was different, a kiss filled with love and affection. His hand stroked her cheek, and he pulled back slightly but it was difficult when he caught a whiff of her scent. He brought himself closer to her. His arousal pressed into her stomach.

"Since last night, it feels like you were trying to kill me." Toh said huskily, running his thumb over her salvia coated lips. 

Sumire laughed. "I don't want to hear that from you, you teased me too much."

Toh chuckled. "A punishment, is a punishment." He trailed off. "I want to make sure however that you're really okay beautiful. I want you to tell me everything."

At those words Sumire cringed and Toh immediately understood. "That kiss wasn't the only one? Did he try anything else?"

Sumire bit her lip but she slowly nodded her head and explained the previous kisses, and the other stuff. Toh felt his self-control gradually breaking and he kissed her again. 

She panted heavily. "Toh, I need to-"

"No." Toh refused. He may have forgiven her. But it's going to be tense between them for a while. There are other ways to get rid of the tension between them. More honest talks and spending more time together, to show her how much he loves her.

However, right now he cannot control his desire for her. 'I truly am just like every other guy out there, maybe I am even worse than Nagawa.' In all that chaos, the only thing he could focus on was Sumire. In the end it took Tseuno to stop him from charging inside to get her.
