But at the thought of 'hurt' he remembered what Ellie had said...AND was reminded of something else from that letter. Kurumi could actually be hurt because of how disappointed she was at him as a friend, not because she liked him still, right? It made sense. To him.
Was their friendship truly damaged, though? Because he still wanted to be friends with her. True friends were always true if they wanted you in their life, right?
He made no further comment because...his mouth opened up to say something, but she spoke first. Yes, he nodded, ashamed, it wasn't like she was saying it, really, but Kurumi was smart and he didn't have to explain himself even more. "Polyjuice Potion. I didn't know it was her, she acted just like you...except...a whole lot more confident," Sierra was the kind of girl that found a way to get what she wanted, right? Treyen was still unsure of what she'd truly wanted. "The same thing that happened between you and Conan, kind of happened to me and Sierra, except...reversed." Conan and Sierra had been the ones to kiss them, and those two seemed like they belonged together NOW, after thinking about it.
Treyen stood up, though, and walked closer to her, "You should take a seat," she didn't look like the floor could hold her for long.
Then he heard the question that had been a bit of a problem when Ellie asked it. The boy shook his head at once, "I...kind of wanted to know how I truly felt about you," and what it would be like to have those violet eyes looking at you once the kiss was over, yes? But he LOVED the blue eyes that gazed upon him now. "I'm really sorry, Kurumi, for everything," and for losing her, as well.
More...confident? Kurumi frowned and turned her attention down to the ground. Hadn't he realized that it wasn't her? She thought back a bit over the last term and how she had run into Treyen and...somehow...he had seemed a bit off. Clearly, due to their conversation now, that person hadn't been Treyen but someone polyjuiced as him. A small smile appeared on her lips as she realized that she hadn't reacted in the manner that she usually did because, well, it hadn't been Treyen.
The other side of that coin was that Treyen hadn't realized that it wasn't her. Hadn't felt that she was different from usual. THAT kind of hurt...but she decided not to comment on that. There seemed to be more important things to discuss than that at the moment.
"
The same thing didn't happen," she said as her violet eyes now locked on his, a few tears trickling down her face now. "
I told Conan to try and prevent damage being done. I didn't let him think that the lie was real." Furthermore, Kurumi had been very kind to the person who had caused all this.
Kurumi's body cringe and instinctively moved away from Treyen before she realized that she had. It wasn't that she didn't want to be close to Treyen, maybe even get a hug, but she was afraid now. She was actually afraid of him.
"
I-I-I-I'm alright..." she lied as her knees wobbled a bit. Kurumi had always been a terrible liar to begin with.
She locked onto his gaze and allowed her jaw to drop. It was all an experiment? To see what it was like? How he really felt? Kurumi wasn't entirely sure what to think about that comment. "
You still don't," she said softly. Not that she was implying that he try right now, but it was true. He hadn't kissed who he thought he was and therefore he really didn't know.
She looked down at the ground again, almost ashamed of how judgmental and cold she was being right now. At the same time, she wasn't and that feeling made her even more frightened.
"
I've missed you...so much..."
