Thread: Liliebar x Ibuki No Sakura

S mooth. That was the word that came to Lilith's mind to best describe Elia. Lilith merely huffed once more attempting to avoid the blush that tainted her cheeks at the mentioning of the hand in the honey jar. Her thighs caressed and rubbed against one another as images plagued her mind causing her chest to heave in deep breaths. She placed her hand over to cover Elia's good eye. Her own eyes closed she rested her head against the lounge chair, enjoying the breeze that brushed over the desk as it was carried through by the sea. For a moment, she remained quiet. Everything seemed to go silent in her world, not even the sounds of the students playing and talking disturbed this 'silence'. Her mind was drifting off as only Elia's words danced through her mind. It seemed that Elia always had someone confessing their undying love to her. They always seemed to try to come between the two of them. Lilith had her own admirers as well who often sought her out but not to the degree of those worshiped Elia. Her mind drifted back to the Academy just prior to them leaving. There had been a school festival that had lasted three days. It was a reward awarded to all the schools in their district for the excellent marks the students had been receiving. Lilith had been helping to finish up after their booth had closed. Her homeroom class and Elia's homeroom had teamed up for their booth. They had decided to do a Host Booth in which the students would come in and be treated as royalty. Elia had been quite a popular pick amongst the guests as they sought out the affections and attention of their ' Prince '. Lilith had chosen to work behind the scenes and mostly helped with the cooking and other food preparations. Lilith had watched as countless bodies surrounded Elia, doing whatever they could to gain her personal and direct attention. Lilith remembered thinking that it reminded her of a harem. Yet, never once during the entire festival did she approach Elia. She allowed the others their chances to have some time with her beloved Elia. As Lilith finished tiding things over, she had decided to take a different route home. Normally, she would have been given a ride home by Elia, but since it was taking some time for things to be cleaned up, Lilith had told Elia to go on ahead and she would meet up with her later. When Lilith had turned a corner, there she saw Elia with another. It was a student that was from a different Academy. She had attended their Academy before but had transfer to a co-ed upon request of her parents. Lilith had managed to conceal herself behind a rather thick and heavy set tree and could hear the exchange of words. The student was professing her undying love to Elia. She spoke of a bond the two of them shared and how they were met to be. The student continued to speak of how wen Elia held her, it was unlike anything she had ever experienced. She even stated how she knew of Lilith's relationship to Elia, but that in the student's mind, it was a sound relationship. If Elia was truly happy, she wouldn't be such a flirt. She knew that Elia truly desired her and not Lilith. Lilith watched as the student caught Elia off guard and locked their lips in a deep and passionate kiss. Lilith's heart had sank at that moment of watching Elia's lips locked with another's. The student broke the kiss and continued to speak of their 'love' and even further how Lilith was not right for her. She brought up many points of how it seemed that Lilith was only using Elia and seemed to only drag her along for the ride. Lilith did seem to tease Elia a great deal, with that she would allow the other so close for a kiss and then turn away from the kiss. The more the student spoke, the more pain it caused Lilith. Lilith questioned her own actions for a moment and yet anger built up within her. The student who was with Elia was quite gorgeous as well. She even possessed a great deal of money and power. If she wished it, she could have Elia set for life. That seemed like something Lilith could not do. On top of it all, her parents allowed her to do whatever with whomever. They did not care like how Lilith's parents. Her parents had countless times tried to break the two of them apart. They had even called the authorities on Elia several times. Then, cruel words came from the student's mouth as she spoke of Lilith being a burdened. She brought up the false reports and allegations Lilith's parents had made, and all the trouble she seemed to cause for Elia. Lilith felt something warm and wet on her cheeks. Her finger tips raised to caress her cheeks only to find that it was tears that had began to stream from her eyes. Lilith had thought that she was burden on Elia, but always tossed that to the back of her mind. Yet, hearing it being spoken by this student, hearing it aloud, it all but crushed her. A sob had partially escaped but she quickly silenced it as she took off away from the two. Lilith had not been aware that the student knew she was there. The student intentionally spoke her words and made them harsh to get at Lilith. Lilith was in her way after all. She loved Elia and wanted her for herself. The student was used to getting whatever she wanted. She had dealt with pawns all her life and that was what Lilith. Lilith was but a means to an end in her eyes. When Lilith had made it home. She had locked herself in her room and sobbed for hours. She had refused to see anyone, and that even included Elia. Her heart was aching and the student's words continued to pound through her mind and heart. The entire three day weekend, she remained locked within her home and it was not until classes resumed that following Tuesday she emerged. Yet, never once did Lilith bring up what she had witnessed. She was rather afraid of the outcome if she had. Lilith was determine to continue on as though nothing had happened. She was in complete denial with herself. Even though, deep down it still did bother her and she wondered if what that student had spoken was true. She wondered if Elia did see her has a burden at times. However, afraid of the answer, she was never going to ask. It may have been selfish, but Lilith was determined to keep Elia all to herself. Lilith's eyes had suddenly shot wide open as she realized she had drifted off. She could feel that her cheeks were warm and moist. The memories in the form of a mini dream had caused tears to escape her eyes and caress her smooth cheeks. Her vision was lightly blurred from the tears yet she could still make out that the scenery had changed. She was no longer on the deck, but instead was in the room she was sharing with Elia. Her hands clenched onto the sheet tightly as she then shut her eyes once again. Lilith took in a few shaky breaths, calming herself. Lilith never wanted Elia to see her cry. She always fought to keep any tears away. Elia...am I a burden to you?.. she whispered softly to herself, not meaning for anyone else to hear those words. Those words that had passed through her lips were not meant to be heard but instead were meant to be her thoughts. Yet, they had escaped her thoughts through her lips.
