Paradise (Eden) Stellaworth MB Tokuten SS Story’s set after Kou’s Vampire End (End 01) By: toudou.tumblr/post/68642910598/paradise-eden ------------------------------------------------------- —The truth is, I feel a little insecure. Like… What would I do if she ends up hating me? I’m screwed, huh. As I sighed and muttered under my breath, a voice suddenly piped up behind me. What’s wrong, Kou-kun? Saying I’m screwed like that… is something troubling you? Ah, you’re here. You’re small, so I didn’t see you. As I said that and turned around, she tilted her head in confusion. Ummm, well. It’s about this eye. And how I returned it, y’know. To my benefactor. As I said that, I lift the hair covering my missing eye, and once again she cranes her neck to the side What do you mean exactly? Eh? Well. What I mean is that I’m not like that anymore, so the previous Kou-kun and the Kou-kun now’s different, right? …I don’t think you’re different? Ehhh, it’s definitely different, since I already gave back that priceless jewel. So the me from then and now are different. I argued, feeling more or less irritated by the impasse, staring at her face. Then, I pulled her closer as if to tell her to examine my face more closely. “Look. The jewel’s no longer there, see?” Would she see if I do this? I thought, bending down further as she stared at me intently. Just as I was about to ask her about that, she suddenly leans in to drop a light kiss on the eyelid of my right eye that no longer held the jewel. Nothing’s changed. You’re still you, Kou-kun. …… I was so surprised by the sudden kiss, I was too stunned to move. Paying no mind to my condition, she continued on. Was that jewel truly so wonderful? Even if it was, that jewel isn’t Kou-kun’s true self.” She said that with her lips curved into a soft smile. Her smile was contagious and I found myself smiling too. What do they call something like this again? Unfounded fear? I don’t really get difficult words, but that’s probably it, huh. Hearing you say that makes me so happy. Eh? Really? I’m only saying what I think, though. In that moment, I pull her into my arms. The me who no longer has that jewel can’t really ‘see’ her feelings anymore. However, I can definitely feel it. Her feelings for me. Hey, can I kiss you, M-Neko-chan? Fufu… Geez, stop it already… with that nickname. Instead of waiting for permission, I push her body against the wall and aggressively press my lips against hers. I’m intoxicated by those sweet lips. I savored that flavor to my heart’s content, that taste of happiness. In that moment, it felt like there was just the two of us in the world. I’d already come to the resolution that I can’t live without her. So if she ever came to hate me, I really don’t know what I’d do. Up until now, I’d never consider something like that. There’s no way there’d be a girl who hates me… That was what I thought. How strange… I always… thought that I’d end up living alone. Eh? It’s nothing. After saying that, I pressed my lips over hers once again. Nn… I haven’t forgotten about my Mukami brothers. I can’t possibly forget them. But, because I was born and raised in ‘that’ type of environment, I’ve become accustomed to solitude. Before I’d realized it, she’d become a necessity; an important existence… I still can’t really tell if this is love or fondness, however… She is an existence that’s even more irreplaceable than that jewel. Anywhere is fine. It doesn’t matter where we go with just the two of us, as long as we can live together. If I only linger on the the circumstantial what ifs, I’m sure I’ll only find myself in total misery. But, right now, I’m extremely happy. I’m grateful that she’s here together with me. So, even if we end up somewhere that has nothing but us and us alone, if I think of that place as paradise (Eden), then I think that that place will no doubt be paradise (Eden)— --------------------------------------------- ~Kou Mukami
