Return

“And it looks like you’re just dyingto change the subject.” Nene rolled her eyes at Kiriha’s overused sarcasm. She would normally get really annoyed at that, but now his secrecy intrigued her of wanting to know more which then again made her look past his sarcasm filled uttering. She wouldn’t back down, but neither would he. At the looks of it they could stand like this for the rest of the day. At least Nene was persistent to do so.

Maybe she should just let him think he had won this battle for then to bring it up again later? It sure was tempting. “Fine, fine…” she made a brushing movement with her right hand as she glanced to her side. “I’ll stop snooping around.. it really isn’t my business either way,” she said and still looked to her side, looking uninterested all of a sudden.

Folding her hands behind her back she rocked back and forth slowly using her lower body and standing on her toes. She remained silent for a few minutes, creating a somewhat awkward silence between the two. She had to break the ice somehow, and she knew just how to do it. “I think it’s time you tell me more about yourself.” She moved her eyes back at him and wouldn’t take them off of his, creating a serious tension. “Got a special someone in your life?” Narrowing her brows into an amused frown she could hardly stop herself from giggling, even before she had seen his reaction. She just had an idea of how it would look like.

He had to stop himself from scoffing at Nene’s response, and instead brushed it off. It really didn’t take a genius to figure out that he was dodging her questions, he knew that much. And it especially didn’t take much guessing on Nene’s part to interpret his motives with his actions. How she chooses to interpret them though was up to her, but he could take a good guess. It seemed that he was somewhat in the clear though; he could still keep her guessing. She doesn’t have to know… But at this rate, if Nene was going to keep probing him about it, he didn’t think he’d be able to hold for as long as he’d expect to.

Though her next statement caught him off-guard for a moment. What? She was backing down already? That… wasn’t really like her at all. He expected her to stay firm like the stubborn woman he knew she was. But then again, wasn’t this exactly what he wanted? Kiriha scowled a little at himself. That might be so, but still. The way she looked just as indifferent as she was curious prior a few moments ago was rather dubious to him.

And just when he thought she couldn’t get any more puzzling. What did she mean ‘to tell her more about himself’? Didn’t she already know enough about him? He was about to voice out his question when her question stopped him short.

“…Specia– what?” He turned his head and fully faced her, confounded by her words. A moment’s pause, and his lips shaped themselves into a dissatisfied scowl. Why would she ask him that of all things? “Nene, what are you talking about?”
