You're a really shy girl and barely get noticed at school, but on one snowy day, you meet two boys that slowly start to change your life. :)
Thank you, Furudate, for 8 amazing years.
It was so peaceful, you felt so comfortable and warm, a little fuzzy even. Suddenly you heard a loud buzzing noise, which woke you up from your dream. You slowly opened your eyes and looked around while rubbing them. You searched for where the loud buzzing came from, and noticed a sleeping Yaku next to you. You remembered that you'd fallen asleep on his shoulder.
"What time is it..." you tiredly thought as the buzzing noise almost seemed to get louder. You realized it was coming from Yaku's pocket. The pocket that didn't have your hand in. You slowly slipped your hand out from Yaku's grasp and nudged him a little. You saw his eyes flinch a little before quickly opening.
Yaku: (y/n)-san! You: Y-Yaku-san... Someone is calling you! Yaku: Oh! Hold on...
Yaku slowly took his phone out of his pocket to check the caller. You couldn't see it, because he quickly picked it up before it rang out. You could make out screaming from the other line.
Caller: MORISUKE YAKU, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!? YOU HAVEN'T COME HOME FOR 2 F*CKING DAYS! YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY CALLS EITHER! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I AM!? Yaku: God... Mom, stop yelling... Yaku's mom: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IS IT?! 3:00 AM IN THE F*CKING MORNING! WHERE ARE YOU!? I'M SO WORRIED! Yaku: I'm where I want to be. Is auntie with you? Because we both know you weren't worried even a little bit. She made you call me, right? Yaku's mom: How can you say that!? What's gotten into you? Did I not raise you right? Stop acting so stuck up and get home, I'll beat your a** if you don-
Yaku ended the call, leaving you shocked. He then turned to you.
Yaku: I... I'm so sorry (y/n)-san... I'm sorry you had to hear that and I'm sorry I made you stay outside for so long... god, I messed up... You: N-No! Yaku-san! I don't mind...What's more important- Are you okay? Sh-Should you get home? Yaku: I'm fine... Please don't worry about me, (y/n)-san. You: How can I not? If you don't want to go home, you can stay here again, although I don't think it's a good idea... Yaku: I'd like to stay... I feel better when I'm with you. I really don't want to return to that hell hole right now. You: O-Of course... Let's go inside, I'll make you some tea, okay? Yaku: Okay... Thank you, (y/n)-san.
You both walked up to the 3rd floor where you live. He patiently waited for you to unlock the door. When you got inside, you took off your shoes and winter jacket, and ran to make Yaku some tea while he sat on the sofa.
When you finished, you rushed to go sit next to him on the sofa. His face was buried in his palms and you saw him tremble a little. You put the cup of hot tea on the coffee table and gently placed your hand on his back and slowly stroking it, trying your best to comfort him. He sat up and looked at you with teary eyes.
Yaku: (y/n)-san... I don't know what I'm doing wrong-
You instantly pulled him into a tight hug.
You: Yaku-san, you're doing nothing wrong. It's normal for families to fight sometimes, and you'll get over it soon. Everything will get better with time and communication. But in the meantime, I'll be here for you, I'll listen to whatever you have to say.
You felt him start to shake and soon heard him quietly sob.
You: It's okay, Yaku-san. It's okay to cry.
With that, he let everything out in your arms. A few more minutes of him crying and you calming him down, he finally did calm down. You wiped the last of his tears with your right sleeve and looked into his big, sad eyes.
Yaku: Thank you so much, (y/n)-san. I don't know what I'd do if I hadn't met you. I feel much better now... I'm sorry you had to see me like this, but I'm also happy you were the person to. I promise I'll never worry you again. You: Yaku-san, please don't thank me, like you never did anything for me. Without you, I'd probably spend my last year in high school all alone. Yaku: But... Don't you have those two friends now too? You: Ah- Um... I... guess...
Yaku took both of your hands and looked into your eyes. You blushed.
Yaku: What's wrong? Have I misunderstood something? You: N-No, not at all..! Let's not talk about me, okay? Yaku: But- You: No buts, Yaku-san! You need some rest. Yaku: (y/n)-san! You: Come, you'll sleep in my bed. Yaku: Ah- Isn't that a little rude? I am a boy after all... I can't sleep in your room... You: If you don't feel comfortable, then let me set up the sofa, okay? Yaku: Okay, may I help? You: No, stay here.
Yaku sighed as you ran over to your room to get spare bedding. He smiled to himself, knowing he had someone like you in his life. He was really grateful for you. He quickly stood up when you came back, so you could set up the sofa without him getting in the way. When you finished, he sat back down.
Yaku: Thank you. You: No problem! Ah, is the tea cold? I'll warm it up for you- Yaku: No! Please, you need rest too. You've done so much already.
You sigh.
You: Okay... Good night, Yaku-san! Yaku: Good night, cutie! You: Wh-Wh-What!? Yaku: Hehehe~ Nothing~
You walked to your room, flustered as heck and flopped on your bed. A bit later, you changed in your pj's and crawled under your blanket, thinking over everything that just happened. You felt butterflies in your stomach and couldn't fall asleep. You grabbed your phone and checked the time "4:00 AM." Questions like "Do I like Morisuke-san?" and "Does he... like me?" started flowing through your head. "I should stop acting so silly... We only met like two days ago... But still... We've already gotten quite close..." you thought and turned to the other side, hoping to find that comfortable pose that you could always fall asleep in, but you just couldn't find it.
Suddenly, you heard your door slowly creek open. You saw the silhouette of Yaku appear in the doorway. He quietly asked you:
Yaku: Hey... (y/n)-san, are you... awake? You: Yes, I am... Could you not fall asleep as well? Yaku: Yeah... I just... Don't want to be alone right now or rather... I want to be with you. You: I... Want to... be with you right now too.
You couldn't see, but you felt the warmth of his smile and patted the bed. He walked inside and closed the door behind him then crawled in bed next to you. He forgot to bring his extra blanket, so you had to share, but neither of you minded, because it was big enough for the both of you anyway. Just him being next to you made you way more comfortable. The sound of him slowly breathing was like listening to soft rain drops hitting the roof. You felt like you could fall asleep at last, but just couldn't. Something was missing. With no time to think it over, your body moved on it's own. You cuddled up to Yaku and felt him flinch again. Soon enough he put one of his arms around you and pulled you closer. Neither of you said anything. The only thing you heard were the calming sound of Yaku's heart beats. The two of you instantly fell asleep.
