“The doctor said I could start practicing within two weeks,” Kiyoshi’s smile was the brightest Riko had seen it in awhile.
She missed that smile. She missed the taste of Kiyoshi’s lips. Riko hid under her crossed arms to conceal her pinking cheeks.
“I’m sorry, I must be boring you, huh Riko?”
“Huh? Ah, no!” Riko shook her head. She propped her body onto her elbows and her chin in palm. Kiyoshi missed that pout. “Don’t push yourself too much. You promised to come back stronger.”
The corners of his lips curved a bit. Riko didn’t miss a thing when it came to Kiyoshi.
“Hm? What is it?” Kiyoshi’s look softened. “Why the long face?”
“You truly are scary, Riko,” Kiyoshi’s laugh thundered through the webcam.
“Idiot,” Riko grumbled. She tilted her head with a smile while she waited for her answer.
“It’s lonely here without you,” Kiyoshi confessed with his eyes away from the webcams, scratching at the side of his pink cheeks. “That’s really all. I just miss you.”
How is Kiyoshi always full of surprises?
“Ah, could you be lonely too?” Kiyoshi teased a little too loud.
“Huh?!” Riko blurted out.
She tried to look away from her camera view. Riko already knew what a mess she must look like. Kiyoshi was the only one to ever make her lose her mind. She never liked the look on her.
It was killing her eyes to not look into her camera’s view. Riko looked away with pouting lips.
“Of course I’ve been lonely without you,” Riko was able to have a small laugh to finally see Kiyoshi at a loss for words. “Idiot.”
So sweet! Thank you for writing it!
