Remembering Charms and Pendants

He knows.

And she knows that he knows.

What she doesn't know is how he knew. But she's also sure that he doesn't know that she knows that he knows.

The steel legs of the table made a scraping sound; her hip had bumped into it in her haste to leave the room. Sam Dong chuckled—dense as he was, he didn't miss the fact that the palm on her cheek wasn't wiping any of the dust away. It was holding her cheek as if it was protecting a treasure.

Of course he knew.

(Never mind that it was just because he accidentally looked through her wallet—the important thing was that he knew.)

Why did Rihito finally kiss Mei

         So that day he made a decision. He would never cover his love for her. That he would try to work harder to make her love him and even harder to keep her heart. For he finally knew what he wanted. He did not want to be his butler only, but he wanted to be a man that could stand by her 'side' instead of behind her. A man that would love her as well as protect her. She was his sun. She was his air. Without her he was just an empty shell. Without her he could not go on living. So on that fateful day, Shibata Rihito kissed Hongo Mei full on her lips. Marking her as his. Forever and ever.
