Chapter 42: Thirsty

*UNEDITED*

"Only in the dark

Do I dare look at you in secret across the stage.

Only deep inside

Do I dare to avoid the cold masks

The relationship makes me sad."

What is this? She has never heard a voice like this before. Sumire thought she already knew the extent of Terashima Yuhi's capabilities as a singer. But this is something else. Could he always sing like this? The last time she heard him sing was only a few months back. Sure in the time since Mamoru passed away, she avoided listening to music. But even then, this is very surprising.

"Desperate and fascinated.

In what name can I give you a hug?

If I'm doomed not to shake off the yoak

I can't help but keep indulging in your eyes.

Be a brave butterfly.."

A voice like this deserves more than just praise. How can a boy's voice sound so gentle and soothing?

"Going to fall for me?"

Sumire looked away. "Don't speak like that."

Yuhi laughed and brushed his hands across her cheeks. "Did you like it?"

"Yes."
