Hey everyone! This is my first fan fiction so please be patient with me! Enjoy
The warm summer night felt so airy and comforting compared to your stuffy apartment you thought. (Y/n) had been cooped up studying for finals so long that even a walk outside felt like a short vacation.
You looked up at the stars and inhaled the fragrant summer air.
Sweet, you thought, sweet like cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Not that any were still blooming, but the gentle breeze still carried hints of the passing spring. Soothed immensely by the relaxing ambience of the park, you closed your eyes to the sliver moon and its' backdrop of faint stars. Folding your hands on your lap, you let yourself grow drowsy upon the warm park bench. The peace was short lived, however.
"Um, excuse me miss. It's dangerous to fall asleep in a place like this."
You open your eyes, startled, to find a young man in a dark green windbreaker standing a few feet in front of you. He had messy black hair that draped across his face and cut off at the top of his neck. His eyes were dark and intent; they drew you to his face which was laced with apparent concern. After a speechless moment, you catch yourself blushing and shot up off the bench.
"Oh, um I'm sorry-I guess I must've drifted off-um thank you, I um-"
"No need to apologize miss," the stranger interjected. "I just wanted to caution you. The city can be a dangerous place at night."
Flattered by the young man's concern, you bowed and repeated your thanks.
"Really, it's nothing," he countered. "Be careful on your way home."
The young man offered you a timid smile before placing his hands into his pockets and heading towards the opposite end of the park. You stood there watching him until he turned the corner, still reeling slightly from the embarrassment.
What if I actually did fall asleep and someone like him hadn't shown up? Would I have slept there through the night? Or something worse…
You shook your head as if to shake off those negative thoughts and turned towards the direction of your apartment. The moon was higher in the sky than before and you realize that you'd been out longer than you'd planned to. Suddenly feeling a rush of exhilaration, you walk at a good pace kicking up small clouds from the gravel path underfoot. Tonight, the dirt it left on your shoes and socks didn't concern you in the slightest. Your thoughts buzzed around you, preoccupying you…
Gah! How embarrassing for some random guy to show up like that! Had I even brushed my hair today? You push a hand over your bangs. Good, at least I didn't look like I haven't been outside in weeks. But that guy… He was sorta cute, in that shy kinda way. He didn't look young enough to go to my school. Right, school!
You push yourself out of your daze to remind yourself that you need to finish preparing for earth science. You promised your friends to write the first twenty questions on the study guide.
I wonder what they're up to right now. Yuki's probably hanging out with her boyfriend, though she'll regret it tomorrow if she doesn't find some time to study. And Kaname? Probably last minute cramming. All of us busy, busy, busy studying like there's no tomorrow. Even dad's been busy at the company lately…
So you thought about all the busy people and all their busy lives and wondered,
"I wonder why he didn't look busy?"
A tall figure with both the light of the moon and darkness of the night tossed together on his frame. Mesmerizing eyes as black as the vast expanse of sky above you…
You clear your head one last time. Now is not the time to think about handsome men conjured by the night. Finals are approaching.
