DEEP .

Riyu Saito. Nineteen. Poseidon Aether.

[riyus]

EUN HAE ;

          Hearing him refer her as babe sent her to giggles fits. She looked around and when she thought no one was around or looking, her hand reached for his face, pull it close so she could kiss him. After a few moments, she let go of his face, giggling. “I’m going to get your cookies.” She announced before opening one of the cupboards and get the cookie jar.

       He bit his lower lip after the kiss; he really hated how they have to hide when it came to this. They really were only hiding from Olympia, and Riyu thought that it wasn’t worth it. He still have feelings for her. He still loves her. But the thought that she really wasn’t that into him anymore always got to him first. Eun probably didn’t want to be with him again, it was probably just for fun. The kisses, those shared nights they have when they were drunk; Riyu hated it. He hated it because it wasn’t true, it wasn’t out of love. With these thoughts in his head he couldn’t help but feel...sad.

He sighed and decided to get up, so he did and he moved towards her and wrapped his arms around her middle. I miss you. I love you. Be with me again. He then pressed his lips against her neck and god it filled of longing and ache and need for her. “Aishiteru, Eun Hae-san.” He sighed and hid his face against the crook of her neck. She always smelled nice.

PRINCESS ;

         She let out a giggle when he touched her nose. “M-miracles don’t u-usually happens even t-to the best of us.” She told her brother and when they reached the infirmary and asked for anti-septic. Pj tried to explained what happened to her brother but she was struggling with it so the nurse just turned to Riyu.

              When the nurse put her attention to him, he began to explain his situation. Then the nurse began to ask him questions that would tell whether he was really food poisoned or not. It turned out that he was indeed food poisoned. He gave credits to his stupidity on this one. He had taken note of what to do so that it wouldn’t get worst. Afterwards Riyu gave the nurse a nod and then he moved towards PJ. “’We good?”

EUN HAE ;

         She laughed at him as well knowing there was no humor in it. Breaking up with someone who you are still in love with was the hardest thing to do. “Also, update in my life, I learned how to make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Let’s hope there still left.” When they reach the front of Hemera building, he let go of his arm and hold his hand instead, then she lead her to the kitchen. Tapping the high stool, gesturing for him to take a seat, she went to get him water. “Here, drink this first while I prepare your tea.”

            “Okay, babe.” He chuckled and followed as she ordered. He then took the glass of water from her and drink it until the glass was empty. He looked at her and then said. “Thank you.”

[riyus]

PRINCESS ;

          She giggled when he ruffled her hair. It was a sweet gesture and she felt like his brother was really fond of her. PJ rested her head on Riyu’s shoulder for a brief moment like a cat would show an affection when he put his arm around her. “I-I’m careful. T-training is j-just very, very, v-very hard. A-And so many bumps on th-the road,” she explained. “Unlike you, wh-who deliberately a-ate the toxic w-w-waste from th-the cafeteria.” She poked his side then laughed.

    He put his index finger on the tip of her nose for a few seconds and then he smiled. “I was trying to see if a miracle happened, but I was wrong.” He then shrugged.     

[riyus]

EUN HAE ;

         Eun Hae laughed because it was a joke yet her heart was pierced by the realization that it was all that it was going to be; just a mere string of joke. “Please, I’m not caring. There’s just so many food in Hemera. It’s nothing.” It was true though. Eun Hae was not normally caring. She just genuinely cared for him. It it wasn’t all just complicated, she would still be with Riyu. She still wanted to be with him.

         He looked at her for a moment and then thought about how he wanted her to just admit that she still cared, but he couldn’t really do that. “Right. Of course.” He shook his head and laughed slightly, although his heart wasn’t really in it.

[riyus]

PRINCESS ;

        She shook her head before showing her the base of her palm which was already covered with gauze. “Th-this is from training. A-and this?” She looked down at her knees. “I-I don’t know what happened. I w-woke up on the floor so, I might have f-fallen from the couch.” PJ had her own bed of course but often time, she would sleep in the couch because it was way closer from her Xbox and flat screen TV. “Wh-why do you think i-it’s a good idea to eat food from th-the cafeteria?”

          His head started to throb, Riyu didn’t know whether it was because of worry or simply just because of the possible food poisoning he had gotten. He reached out for PJ’s head and ruffled her hair, like he always did. “You should always be careful. You’re so clumsy.” He then pinched her cheek and then he put his arm around her and began to maneuver his way towards the infirmary.

[riyus]

EUN HAE ;

          She playfully rolled her eyes at him. “I’m literally just going to heat the food for you. Hemera never runs out of food. Come on, I’ll get you some tea.” Eun Hae smiled at him before holding his arm to lead him to the Hemera house.

             He let out a chuckle and then he began to walk towards Hemera, “You’re too caring, I might fall for you all over again.” He joked, but the thing with jokes were they were half-meant. And in Riyu’s case it was very much so. He really hadn’t fallen out of love, to begin with.

[riyus]

PRINCESS ;

            PJ wanted to tell her brother that she couldn’t even remember to eat sometimes but she didn’t want to become a disappointment so she just nodded. “Sh-sure.” She holds his arms to help him. “C-come on. I-I will go to the infirmary too. I will t-take care of my b-boo-boo.” She said, pointing at her knees.“

           Riyu straightened himself, quite thankful of PJ’s assistance. He was wiping the back of his hand on his jeans when he heard mention of her ‘boo-boo’, he furrowed his eyebrows with each other and then he titled his head to the side. “What happened?” He looked down at her, “Training?” He added.

[riyus]

EUN HAE ;

.        Eun Hae sighed and crouched down beside Riyu. “If you want food then you could’ve just told me.” She sighed exasperatedly while rubbing his back.

           Riyu felt like there were traces of electricity her hand had left on his body. It was addictive. “I don’t want you burdened.” He said, he was probably exaggerating that, but he didn’t want to abuse the fact she would cook him food if he asked her to do so.

[riyus]

PRINCESS ;

         Seeing someone puked made her want to puke as well so she hurriedly covered her mouth. “Uh-uhm, you should g-go to the infirm-mary.”

       He turned his head to PJ’s direction and then he gave her a nod, “I should. Remind me not to ever eat in the cafeteria, Imoto. Being here for six years, I should’ve known better.”

[riyus]

         He was walking outside when he felt like he was about to vomit (he just came from the cafeteria, which basically explains it), anyhow he rushed to the nearest trash bin, opened it and vomit into it. He cursed in Japanese, and then he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “Gods, I might’ve food poisoning.” He said to himself, but the volume of his voice was pretty high, so anybody passing by would most likely hear him.
