Ch. 6: You're Important... (MOON)

 

The stars twinkled quietly above, shining in the night sky.

 

Hinata: "Hey, if you're going to say that, say you'll be mine."

 

I felt like I was being sucked into the darkness that shadowed Hinata's eyes.

 

What…should I do?

 

Bewildered, I blinked again and again.

 

Hinata: "…you really are funny OO-chan."

 

OO: "Eh…?"

 

Hinata: "I really wanted to make you mine right away…I thought if I bought you what you wanted, you'd like me…and you'd be mine. But I guess it's totally hopeless."

 

Hinata laughed as if exasperated.

 

Hinata: "But that's how it is… this feeling of 'wanting' no matter what…this is 'desire'. If I can't have you…I'll take you by force if I have to…ok?"

 

OO: "Hina…ta?"

 

His eyes gleamed with an ominous light, and I instinctively held my breath.

 

Hinata: "Right Momo-chan…eh, what!? Whaa~! When did that happen!?"

 

Hinata lifted Momo-chan up, and I saw a part had ripped again.

 

OO: "It'll be alright, if we go back I'll fix it again for you…"

 

Hinata stared at Momo-chan for a while.

 

Hinata: "…yeah OK. I thought so too~and it's for Momo-chan. I'd be in trouble if you weren't always with me OO-chan, right? Right~Momo-chan♪ Aha, yeah. Momo-chan says he wants to be with OO-chan fore~ver♪"

 

Together…forever?

 

Hinata: "Hey OO-chan…I just wanna check something."

 

OO: "What is it?"

 

Hinata: "When I say I want you, you know what I mean right?"

 

OO: "…eh?"

 

I looked at him blankly, and Hinata placed his index finger on the tip of my nose.

 

Hinata: "OO-chan…you really are thick huh."

 

OO: "What do you mean…?"

 

Hinata: "I realize you're careless… What I really want is…OO-chan…and that means that I love you…"

 

OO: "L…love!? You love me?"

 

Hinata: "A~ah, you really hadn't noticed…even though I said it so many times…I wasn't super clear before now so you didn't get it."

 

When Hinata says he wants something, it means love!?

 

OO: "I-I'm sorry…Hinata! I hadn't thought it meant that…"

 

Hinata: "Heh? Then that means…you got the wrong idea…when I said it about Momo-chan, and my family and friends …?"

 

OO: "Um, I'm really sorry…"

 

Suddenly, Hinata bent over in laughter.

 

Hinata: "…pfh, ahahahahaha! This is great, better than I expected! You really are funny OO-chan! This is the best♪"

 

OO: "Hinata…?"

 

Hinata: "I get it, this is just too much fun~. The instant you become mine."

 

Saying so, Hinata suddenly grasped both of my hands.

 

Hinata: "I'll be glad when I finally get something 'precious'…  I wonder what it'll be like, I'm super excited! OO-chan, when you become my favorite toy…yeah, I can't wait! Don't worry, I'll be nice to you. OO-chan is my 'precious' toy, and I'd be sad if you broke♪"

 

OO: "Hinata…what do you mean? You're hurting me…"

 

Hinata: "I'll never give you up…"

 

I looked into his eyes, and for some reason it made my heart leap…-.

 

That surprised me, and I panicked as my hands remained in his grip and I realized there was no retreat.

 

Hinata: "You'll never be able to run away from me."

 

Hinata tightly gripped my hands and moved in closer…

 

Hinata: "Just give in…OK?"

 

Those words were whispered close to my ear.

 

OO: "…!"

 

Hinata's breath brushed against my ear, and without thinking I turned away.

 

Hinata: "Haha…OO-chan, you're so cute…"

 

Hinata smiled in a way that didn't fit, like it was both loving and a little terrifying…

 

An odd feeling sprouted in my heart.
