Chapitre 41: Chapter 40

"So what's the deal between you too?" Sora asked, glaring at Raiden. When he saw Hiro was distracted by Michi, he immediately siezed the opportunity to speak to Raiden alone. "What did you ask for in return for helping us?"

They were in a secluded corner of the hospital. Raiden was leaning against the wall, a playful smile on his lips. He couldn't get Hiro's bewildered look out of his mind. The boy looked lost, like he couldn't get why Raiden asked for a kiss but didn't really kiss.

Raiden chuckled to himself. He bet Hiro thought he would take advantage but it was all part of his plan. Little by little, things would fall into place and before the end of the year, Hiro would not be able to leave his side.

It was like cooking. One has to be patient and let it simmer on low heat so that it would be well cooked and packed with flavour.

"What's so funny?" Sora gritted, annoyed that Raiden wasn't even listening to him.
