Everything I want (MiraxRyuji) Part 30

Chapter 30

Since it was Sunday, Ryuji and I went out on a date; ‘Mira your ice cream is dripping!’ Ryuji stated, I quickly licked the side of my cone. ‘Thanks for the warning,’ I smiled; Ryuji gave me a soft smile back. ‘Well you really really like ice cream right?’ He laughed, ‘it’s okay but I prefer pastries.’ I replied making Ryuji stop in shock, ‘but before when I treated you to ice cream you said you really really liked ice cream…’ Ryuji replied, I froze ‘oh right well think of it this way, everything I said about ice cream that time I was actually referring to you. Not like I could just come out and say it,’ I blushed causing Ryuji’s face to turn bright red. ‘You mean that time, you were… you just wanted… I was what…’ Ryuji stuttered out; his brain was crashing; he didn't even notice his ice cream was now dripping onto his hand. ‘Honey I know you are having a realization right now but your ice cream is melting.’ I laughed as Ryuji came to his senses and looked down to see his hand was now covered in melted ice cream. ‘Let me,’ I smiled walking over and licking it off his hand, lifting my head up to look at him while smiling. His face was bright red as usual; ‘you have the key to your room?’ Ryuji asked, turning his head to the side avoiding eye contact. ‘Yeah why?’ I asked, ‘well Okumura is doing something with Shima and Koneko at the boys’ dorm so I figured we wouldn't get bothered at your place.’ Ryuji replied unable to hide the redness on his face. I then took his hand and dragged him to the first door I could find, ditching the cones and pulling him in.

I shut the door planting my lips on his, wrapping my arms around his neck. As he kissed me back I wrapped my legs around his waist, catching him off balance we fell back on my bed. ‘You bastard why can’t you just give in already,’ I smirked while Ryuji positioned himself to lay on top of me. ‘Not yet…’ he smiled placing a kiss on my forehead then another on my lips. It was getting hard for me to resist, with the way things were going I could tell even Ryuji wanted to give in. He had really strong morals, which I had to admire. The next day our class decided to come up with what we should do for the festival. It seemed Rin was set on making rice balls. Heading to cram school I saw a poster for the school dance, Mephy had told me about it before. I was really excited to get dressed up and dance with Ryuji. I was on cloud nine when I bumped into Rin. ‘Hey Rin what’s wrong?’ I questioned, ‘well I want to go to the dance but I need to have a date, you’re going with Ryuji right?’ Rin asked, ‘well I would think so, you can’t ask Shiemi?’ I questioned, ‘well no she’s not a student at the regular high school.’ Rin sighed, ‘that sucks…’ I replied while we both arrived to class.

‘What should I do, what should I do? I really want to participate, come on it will be Kyamy, U-Ver and Rookies! A bunch of legendary artists will be coming you know!’ Rin cried out, ‘I’m sure there are tons of girls who would be happy to go with you.’ I replied trying to be of some comfort. ‘But you can only go if you have a female partner and Shiemi isn’t a student... as for Izumo...’ Rin spoke looking over to Izumo. ‘I’m not participating,’ Izumo replied quite bluntly. ‘Ah I haven’t got any other female friends!’ Rin belted, ‘getting worked up like this over a festival, what an idiot.’ Izumo stated, ‘Izumo if you don’t want to go with Okumura then how about going with me?’ Renzou asked sending kissy faces in her direction. ‘I wouldn’t want to go even more,’ Izumo replied. ‘What kind of response is that?’ Renzou sighed, ‘speaking of which what about you Konekomaru?’ Rin asked, ‘I’m not going either, there aren’t any girls I can invite.’ Koneko responded, ‘nonsense...’ Ryuji spoke. ‘It’s kind of a hot trend right now, after all it’s supposed to be really amazing!’ I smiled hoping Ryuji would get more into the spirit. ‘What the hell, you guys seem like you are at a funeral!’ Rin yelled, clearly he was feeling out of place. ‘Listen the annual exorcist qualification exam is three months away. I want to pass it on the first attempt, it doesn’t help that our lessons are behind due to all the cancelled classes. To top it off there’s just no time in this second semester now that practical training has begun, see ya.’ Izumo explained before taking off. ‘It’s the first time I’m agreeing with her.’ Ryuji replied as he stood up, ‘eh where are you going?’ Rin questioned, ‘Ryuji?’ I spoke wondering what was going on. ‘I’m going to firearm practice, I’m also aiming to pass both Aria and Dragoon on the first attempt. I don’t have time to waste in these couple socials,’ Ryuji stated, I felt my heart sink. ‘Wait a second are you saying that going with me would be a waste of time!’ I stood up catching Ryuji before he was able to leave. ‘I didn’t mean it like that but right now we should be studying.’ He responded giving me a serious look, ‘this was something I was looking forward to... Mephy has told me so much about it...’ I felt tears form in my eyes. ‘It’s just a school festival I don’t see what the big deal is.’ Ryuji sighed, ‘You just don’t understand, jerk!’ I cried running out of the classroom, I couldn’t believe him, I know how serious he can be but still... we’re dating... was he starting to get tired of being with me? Using my key I arrived back in my room, throwing myself on my bed. I reached out to grab my cell to see if Ryuji sent me a message, I was a little surprised that he didn’t send anything. That idiot... I wiped the tears from my eyes, rubbing my face into the pillow. I couldn’t go now, without Ryuji it wouldn’t be the same.

‘Hey Mira how are you doing?’ Rin asked as he entered my room. ‘He can be such a jerk sometimes...’ I sulked; Rin took a seat next to me. ‘Yeah I don’t get it either, he seemed shocked that you ran off.’ ‘He hasn’t messaged me or anything though...’ ‘Well he’s pretty set in his ways, I guess he doesn’t understand how important this kind of thing is to girls in love.’ Rin stated as he patted me on the head. ‘I’m sure he will give in eventually,’ Rin continued to try and reassure me. ‘Well I’m not going to go then, if Ryuji says we should study then I will show him up!’ I stated with fire in my eyes. ‘Something tells me that this isn’t going to end well...’ Rin sighed. For the next few days things were awkward between Ryuji and myself, every time he tried to talk to me causally I just ignored him, which seemed to piss him off. I found out from the girls in my class that there was a rumor going around that Ryuji and I broke up. Due to this apparently some girl asked Ryuji to the dance, even if it wasn’t his fault I felt even more upset then I was before.

‘Sorry that Shiemi wants to go with Yukio...’ I spoke while rubbing Rin’s back. ‘You know you should make up with Suguro; he’s been really down since all of this. Konekomaru even said that he’s not doing as well in his studies.’ Rin informed, ‘Yeah well he should just go with one of those girls who asked him...’ I continued to sulk. Rin flicked me in the forehead, ‘idiot Suguro loves you, he just isn’t one for public displays of affection right?’ Rin smiled, ‘yeah I know... well either way I told Mephy the story and he wants me to host the festival with him so it looks like I am going after all.’ I replied, I promised Mephy but I really don’t think I will be able to enjoy myself. ‘That’s pretty cool though, I wish we could go together.’ Rin sighed lying back down on my bed, ‘Why didn’t I think of that? I promised Mephy though and I can’t back out of it now!’ I cried out, clearly being upset over Ryuji has clouded my mind. For the next few days I spent my time practicing my part with Mephisto. ‘Mira dear cheer up!’ Mephy smiled taking a sip of his tea. ‘I haven’t talked to Ryuji in days... I don’t want to fight over this!’ I groaned throwing myself backwards. ‘Suguro is going to work at the festival under security so we will make sure you are looking amazing.’ Mephisto winked, ‘I’m more upset that he hasn’t tried talking to me since all of this...’ I wonder if he wants to talk to me as much as I want to talk to him... I hadn’t gone to cram school since I had to practice my parts, Mephy wanted me to put on a performance as well, even having the school band play the instrumentals. My nerves were on edge while waiting till it was time to go on stage. It was the second day of the festival and Mephisto had gotten me a beautiful dress, it looked traditional yet edgy.

‘Princess how are you doing?’ Mephy asked popping his head behind the door. ‘I’m so nervous I can’t do this; the whole school will be watching!’ I started to shake, ‘Here have a drink, it will calm your nerves.’ Mephy smiled pouring me a glass of champagne. ‘Mephy I’m a minor I can’t drink!’ I stated, ‘just a bit won’t hurt, it will help you relax so give it a try.’ Mephy spoke handing me the glass, stroking my hair. ‘See you in a bit!’ He winked; I downed the glass figuring what could it hurt? Feeling a bit fuzzy I stood up getting myself ready to head out. Mephy was right, I wasn’t nervous anymore, that and I was going to make sure Ryuji ate his heart out!  

[Ryuji Suguro]

I should have just gone with Mira, this feeling was the worst. I knew Mira was pissed, honestly I was embarrassed. I just figured we would spend the time studying together, I didn’t mean to hurt her. I decided to work for security when I found out that Mira would help Mephisto with hosting the festival. I didn’t know how to talk to her but I felt I needed to keep an eye on her. ‘Hey Suguro!’ I heard Okumura call out as he ran up to me. ‘What’s up Okumura?’ Renzou asked, ‘Did you hear that Mira is going to put on a performance?’ Rin stated with shock, ‘really?’ I was surprised she would go through with something like that. We all headed to the stage when an announcement was made and Mira walked out onto the stage. I was in awe, she looked beautiful... her hair was down with a braid pulled back. She was wearing a stunning purple dress with a yellow patterned sash around her waist; it resembled a kimono in a way. Her cheeks were flushed as she stopped at the center of the stage, holding the microphone in front of her.

‘Hey everyone, having a good time?’ Mira called out, exciting the crowd. The audience seemed to like her, I overheard a few guys calling her hot which made me uneasy. ‘I’ve got a song for you guys, let’s have a good time!’ Mira cheered, grabbing a guitar as the music started to play.  

‘Under the cloudy sky the sunflowers are lying with their sad faces down
It’s impossible for them to swing around calm, and water drops down
They can't conceal it

The sun is showing it's face and the sunflowers look up
Immediately they start to smile, they get hooked on and bud

I want to smile with you by my side
Wanting to smile seems wonderful
The laughing sun's light is making someone, somewhere smile now too

Under the clear sky the sunflowers are beautifully blooming with their heads held high
As I walk down the road seeing them, I somehow start to smile

It’s stupid, but the thought of you crossed my mind
Suddenly I just want to meet you, so I started running

I want to smile with you by my side
Wanting to smile seems wonderful
The smiling sunflowers' faces are making someone, somewhere smile now too

The sunlight for the sunflowers
My love for you

I want to smile with you by my side
Wanting to smile seems wonderful
My smile and love are making someone, somewhere smile now too’

The audience went nuts; I felt my heart race seeing her shining up on stage. She grabbed the microphone once again. ‘Thank you so much! I’m happy to see everyone having a good time.’ She spoke as tears fell from her eyes, everyone froze in shock. ‘Ah I’m sorry; it’s been a hard week. My boyfriend didn’t want to come here with me, even though he hurt me I wanted to say something. Ryuji may seem scary and has no patience, he’s set in his ways and gets embarrassed easy.’ Mira spoke, my face turned bright red as many people turned to look at me. Okumura and Shima both started to chuckle, which made me glare at them. ‘He gets angry easy and always tries his hardest to resist my advances,’ Mira continued, I felt my heart stop. What the hell is she saying, I quickly ran up on stage to stop her from saying anymore. ‘However... he’s caring, loyal, considerate and treats me with respect and love. Please don’t think badly of him, he’s a hot head but I love him just the way he is.’ Mira stated with a serious look, ‘Mira!’ I called out catching my breath arriving on stage. ‘Ryuji...’ Mira looked quite startled. ‘You idiot!’ I yelled reaching my arm out and pulling her waist closer to me, planting my lips on hers. I could hear the whole audience call out in shock, others cheering. Pulling back I saw Mira’s face turn red, I realized in that second she had been drinking. That idiot Mephisto must have given her some alcohol; scooping her up in my arms I grabbed her microphone and faced the audience. ‘Sorry for the disturbance, enjoy the festival.’ I stated before tossing the microphone on the ground and carrying Mira off the stage.
