Sora Itsuki's POV
Now what am I doing here?
I'm in front of Lux's house.
And I've knocked on the door like I'm part of a federal commission, before allowing myself to think about it.
It has been less than 24 hours since she let me go.
So why am I back?
Before I can lose my nerve and leave, the front door swings open.
And there she is.
Lux stands in the doorway
"Itsuki? Are you okay? How did you find my yard?" She asks.
I nod.
"We need to talk. Also I begged Kane for it."
She sighs and leans against the door.
"Couldn't you have done this earlier or tomorrow?" She asks.
"The thoughts were becoming intrusive" I admit.
She nods and her stance makes me calm down.
And it's then that I realise her appearance.
She has thrown on a robe, to come and open the door, but then I see her tousled hair and her crinkled singlet and shorts.
"I'm so sorry! Did I wake you?" I ask, feeling really bad.
She shakes her head.
"I was up." She responds.
Just as she does, someone behind her calls her.
"Noves... who's there?" They ask.
It's a woman.
The woman approaches us and holds onto the back of Lux's robe.
"Sora, this is my best friend, Naomi. Naomi, this is Sora." She says.
Naomi gives me a soft grin, but then possessively holds Lux by the waist, hands dangerously close to her shorts.
Lux doesn't flinch.
Nice to meet you" she says.
Lux sighs.
"Sora if it's alright with you and the situation isn't dire, can we talk about it over breakfast or something tomorrow?" Lux asks.
I nod.
"I'd like that" I respond, feeling at ease.
She smiles back and lets me leave.
She closes the door after her and I make my way back down the stairs and to my car, soaking in what I just saw.
Everybody wants her.
But she seems...
Bored?
She didn't even flinch when her supposed friend started acting possessively.
I wonder what it would take to pique her interest...
I shake it out of my mind for the time being.
Now how the fuck am I going to tell her I want her to train me again?
Especially after being so blatant about not wanting to do it.
But I have changed my mind!
She really did take care of me well while we trained together.
She wasn't always gentle, granted, but she was patient.
I have been back to my regular training sessions, and they're good...
