Rain looked at her little surprised of her bravery to say it, he did heard of girl confessed first before but only if she is crazy in love with him, or she is afraid he will look somewhere else and that when he looks at Lex who was looking at them, he didn't made any reaction at all, and Rain was wondering why he didn't react! Like those words he said before when he was sick, how he was caring for his phobia, how he jumped in the river! Is it all just an acting? Was it all Yuri's plan?
"I can see that the past hurt you so much"
He heard Dena talking
"And they say if you want to get over your past, you need to start a new I am ready to show you it is true"
Yuki was speechless looking at the silent Rain, how he can be so silent at this moment! She couldn't even say a word because she had no right to interfere, but Yohan can and he was just silently looking like Rain. But Dena turned looking at her "you said you used to like Fourth right! But you did get over him, and what I see is that you didn't push Orthrus away too!" Yuki had a wide open eyes now how can she compared her to him, and she spitting fact because she passed Yohan crush because she felt her love was nothing compared to the two.
Dena finished her sentence eyeing Yohan "I think Rain need the same, not to be in something that makes him remember his past wounds"
Yohan poker face changed to a bitter smile hearing that, he nodded "you are right!" he look at Rain "you should do just like Yuki"
Rain felt the sarcasm "Oh! You think I should?"
"Yes, why not!" Yohan confirmed "didn't you go against the Rogues for her! You even took a bullet for her I mean isn't dying for someone is true love no?"
Rain scoffs at his last sentence knowing he meant how Fourth died for him
"Yes, if you care for someone you protect them" Dena said looking daggers at Yohan "I don't think he protected you not even once! In fact he tried to kill you twice"
"Indeed! And one of them was because you asked for it" Yohan agree with her he looked at Rain trying to keep it calm because he knew inside he was boiling "unless that 'curiosity' meant something to you Dena is your perfect match you protect her, you listen to her, she knows who you are and she is Hades daughter! See a win-win situation!"
Rain also was getting angry hearing that conversation "a win-win situation you said!"
"Yeah!"
"Rain no!" Yuki knows him too well to the point she expected what he was going to say
"Then I will give her and myself a chance!" Rain said taking Dena's face and this time he initiate the kiss
Yohan didn't wait more standing and leaving not turning back!
Yuki stands with "YOHAN!" running after him but Orthrus stands behind her stopping her with "don't! Give him some space! Come let me take you home"
Yuki just nodded feeling so bad about it!
------------// an hour after
Orthrus stopped his car at the side of a bridge, going down and walking to the edge "here you were" he said seeing Yohan leaning on the edge looking at the city lights view
"I am 5 years late" Yohan said still looking at that view "I should have listened to you, and never left the south" he played with his hair in frustrating "why did I came back! It was a big mistake"
Orthrus huffs looking at the view "I am glad you came!"
The two look at each other after that sentence for a 5 seconds long then laughed at it
"At least one of us is appreciating it" Yohan says "probably Dena is appreciating too now"
Orthrus couldn't argue "I am really sorry, Dena is…"
"No need to say anything, you are her adoptive brother, you should take her side and let her fight for her love!"
"Yes, and you are my first friend, you shouldn't have irritated Rain like that"
"I wasn't thinking straight, I got mad the moment he didn't push her away from that kiss"
"So, what is your plan?"
"Yuki moved on, I think I can too! Also Dena was kind of right, all I will do to him is open the old wounds, I feel now like if he believes I am Fourth he will want to be with me just because he is in debt to me since I died for him, not because he still likes me"
Orthrus frowns "So you think…him not pushing Dena means he moved on from you?"
"Would you kiss someone else if you have someone in your heart?"
Orthrus couldn't disagree because he was right in a way
----------// the next day.
walking in determination and sitting in an empty chair at the table corner, Yuki looks at Yohan who was eating his lunch with his team as usual.
"Good morning!" he said little surprised of her action that made his team look strangely at her
"Good morning! And good morning everyone" she said smiling to all of them, then back looking daggers at Yohan.
"You need anything?"
"Yes, I will wait till they finish their lunch and leave so I can talk to you privately"
Yohan looks at her kind of shocked but his team was crazy enough to start standing
"I think I am full"
"Oh shoot I missed my Yoga lessons"
"look it's a bird, I should go see it"
And they all left leaving the two, Yuki jumped to the chair in front of him "What are you going to do?"
"About what!" Yohan said keep eating
"Dena duh!"
"Nothing"
"What do you mean by nothing?"
"I mean nothing!"
"You will just leave him in the darkness!"
"Being with me is the real darkness" Yohan put his spoon not wanting to eat anymore "I think him being with Dena is the best choice she is not problematic and she brings out the best of him"
"What is this nonsense I am hearing?" Yuki couldn't believe her ears "you know how much Rain change since you died! Like he became evil, he became a freaking black widow! Not smiling not leaving his work not doing anything! I swear to god I start seeing him getting back to normal after he came from the south!"
"I wasn't the only one he met at the south!"
Yuki grimaced "this isn't working! I need a plan"
"Don't" Yohan said in a defeated "I will move on just like you did" taking his phone looking at it "and find someone else to be with"
"What?" Yuki saw him turning the phone to her direction and she read the message "tomorrow at 9 at the blue-sky club" she looked at Yohan "who is it! That guy from yesterday? Are you seriously going?"
Yohan stands and said before leaving "You never know maybe he will help me move on!"
Yuki jaw stayed opened not believing what she heard.
The next day she asked about Dr. Lex and they said he was in an operation and he supposed to finish at 10. Deciding to leave till that time, she waited but acted like it was a coincidence!
"Yohan! You still here!"
Yohan looked at her and nodded "yeah there was an emergency, I got stuck since lunch time"
"What about your date?" she asked going out from the front door of the hospital
"I texted saying I have to work late tod…" but Yohan didn't finish his sentence looking in front of him
And when Yuki looked she found the guy from that day standing near his black sport car.
"Hey!"
Both looked at him speechless even Yohan didn't expect that, he got closer to him with "hi"
"I hope you don't mind me waiting for you"
Yohan was confused "I didn't say I work here!"
The guy smiled shyly "I came to visit my friend the other day and I saw you! I was lucky enough to see you at the Pub so I had my courage to ask you out"
Yohan nodded understanding "okay, but I didn't even dress properly"
The guy went to open the door for him "Looking at you, I thought you spent hours dressing!" he said with a flirting smile
Yohan smiled while shaking his head a no looking at Yuki "I will be going now, see you tomorrow!"
Yuki nodded looking at him getting in, then the guy nodded to her running to the driver seat and drives away "I thought you spent hours dressing" she repeated the words in a mocking version "Oh dear Rain if you know what is going on, you will be torturing that flirty guy" she felt her phone vibrating she took it out from her purse to look at the alarm smiling "Oh! I think I have a plan, I should call Orthrus!"
----------// at the bar
Drinking some shots Yohan didn't find the guy boring at all, he was a talkative and a happy one, first they exchange some basic questions about their jobs and age and what they like, and he learned his name which was Viktor
"Are you a heavy drinker?"
Yohan nodded "Yeah, you probably will passed out way before me if you drink"
"I can't drink because I still need to take you home safely, so a soda is enough"
Yohan understands seeing him drinking his soda, he look around seeing the people dance at the slow music
"You want to dance?"
He asked him and Yohan just shake his head "not really!"
"Come on, it is a slow music it is dark it's not like they will laugh at you if you missed some steps!"
He saw him standing and stretching his arm for him with a big smile in his face "Will you dance with me?"
Yohan shake his head smiling at how elegantly he asked but he did take his hand and stands going in between the people, feeling that Viktor putting his hands on his waist starting to dance slowly, he went with the flow too dancing to the beat!
