The Secret

[AviouslyPTX]

Finally calm, she pulled away, getting the feeling she was just making things worse. She backed up and looked down sadly as she sighed. She wrapped her arms around herself as she bit her lip. "You can go if you want.... I won't bother you anymore," she finally said with a pained voice.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary looks up at her and then wraps his arms around himself in a comforting manner, placing a head on her chest lightly. He nuzzles her lightly and gives a soft whine as he looks down slightly.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira hesitated before wrapping her arms around him gently. "I don't want you to leave. I don't want to let you go. I can't bear the thought of you getting hurt in any way... I..... I don't know what I'm feeling but I just want you to be happy but not only that... I want you to be happy with me."

 

[Narumi]

Zachary nods lightly and them leans up, kissing her cheek gently as he nuzzles his nose against hers lightly. "I'd like that.... To be happy with you" He says as he looks up at her.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

She nodded and hugged him gently. "I'm going to get a shower," she said softly and headed out of her room. When she returned, she smelled so much better though her shirt, being fitted, showed just how skinny she was.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary had been sitting at a makeup desk, looking at the different products she had. He spelt all of her creams and looked at different types of lipstick she had. He snuffles lightly as he sprayed some perfume.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira couldn't help but laugh as she crossed her arms. "Having fun?" she asked with a small smile. "Now you'll smell like cherry blossoms," she pointed out with a smile.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary smiles and then places the perfume aside and then stood up, hugging her gently, giving her a light nuzzle. He faces her for a short while and then kisses her softly, a light blush started to appear on the apple of his cheeks.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira hugged him back and sighed happily before kissing him back. Once she pulled away, she looked up at him as she nuzzled him gently. "Promise me you won't leave me," she whispered softly as she looked into his eyes.

 

[Narumi]

"I'm really bad at promises.... But I won't. Okay?" Zachary says with a smile. He glances up at the clock. "Except for now, because I have to head home now for chores and grocery shopping" He says with a shrug as he started heading for her bedroom door.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira nodded slightly and smiled as she followed him, turning him around and kissing him gently before opening her door and allowing him out.

 

[Narumi]

The following morning, Zachary was out in town as he always was, mumbling to himself as he wanders into a supermarket. Groceries. Groceries. And more groceries. He places some things into a basket and pays for them, heading outside and then sitting down on a bench.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

That morning Akira decided to go for a run after making sure to eat well. She changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top before slipping on some tennis shoes and putting her hair up in a ponytail, leaving down a couple pieces by her ears. She chose not to bring her headphones, but just her phone before heading out the door and glancing around, running to the nearest ice cream shop.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary wanders around whilst dragging along some bags with him as he walked he glanced in the windows of a few shops, especially at the houses. He was still thinking about moving and living in a proper house for himself, but shrugs lightly at the thought. Most of the houses seemed much too expensive for one person.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

After buying some cookie dough ice cream, Akkra began walking around town, looking at some houses as she thought. "I wonder..." She mumbled before pulling out her phone and calling Zach, despite her heavy breathing.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary turns away from the estate agent and answers his phone. "Hey" He says casually as he runs a hand through his hair.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Meet me at the local diner in twenty minutes. I need to talk to you about a house," she said as she glanced around nervously.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary nods, "Okay" He says. Once she had hung up he pondered around for a few minutes and then began to walk towards the diner, looking around for her.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira hung up and ran to the diner, getting a table for two before sitting back and waiting patiently for him. She looked through the menu, licking her lips at the different choices. She decided on pancakes and bacon as she looked up at the waiter and smiled.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary notices her and then wanders over to her, pulling out a chair and then say opposite her. He smiles weakly and sat down, whilst holding bags. "This'll have to be quick.... I have to get the groceries back" He says.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Well I was just wondering if you'd want to move into a house with me. I don't have a job yet which makes all these houses really expensive...and I want to be with you," she said as she looked at him nervously though sigh a smile.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary shrugs and nods lightly. "Cool. So you want me to pay for your expenses, like gas, bills and the rent? Is that why you want me to move in with you?" He asks, curiously.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Of course not Zach. You and I both know that's not true. I want you to move in with me because I want to be with you. I don't know why you're being so mean about it and making it seem like I'm being a complete bitch about it," she said as she looked at him in disbelief.

 

[Narumi]

"Okay" Zachary mumbles and looks down. "We can sort something out" He stood and began to wander away. "We'll talk later" He says and begins to leave, before waving goodbye to her.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira watched silently before sighing and looking down. Just as her food was brought, she shook her head and tipped the waiter. "Sorry to waste your time," she whispered before standing up and heading out and running back to her house. She went up to her room and say down silently, unable to figure out why he was acting the way he was. He wasn't the same wolf she fell for at that summer camp nearly a year ago. She sat at her desk and began drawing silently, unable to keep her mind from wandering to different memories.
