All you had to do was stay
Summary: Takes place the night Nana finds out she is pregnant. It's what I wish had happened. Currently Nobu is over because Takumi called Nobu. Takes place with Hachi and maybe Nobu's POV (point of view).
I heard Nobu walked in the front door and close it. I knew one thing and that I loved Nobu and never wanted to let him go. I really didn't want to lose my baby, but maybe if I still had Nobu I could mourn with him. I pulled my covers over me with my shaking hands to try and hide from him. Maybe he wouldn't notice and leave, but my sobs were heard from him. I heard his footsteps coming closer and closer. The closer they became, the more tears fell. I knew I wouldn't be able to bear looking at Nobu this way. So I pulled my shaking body towards the other side of the door. So I wouldn't be able to see him. That's when the footsteps finally stopped and knew he was right here with me. I felt his warm hand on the blanket as he pulled it off. I couldn't bear seeing him. I knew I was probably going to have him let me go. Another thing I knew was I hated Takumi for calling Nobu. As he pulled the covers off he began to talk.
Nobu said, "Nana, is it true you are pregnant?" More tears fell, he never called me Nana. He always called me Hachi in front of everyone and even me. I wonder why he would call me Nana at this time. I tried to speak, but I couldn't. The more I tried, the harder it got. I wanted to tell him the truth. I wanted to tell him how much I loved him and just wanted for him to stay with me throughout everything. I wanted for us to get married and have kids together. I really didn't want this to happen, I wanted Nobu to be my one and only.
I felt his warm hand on my shoulder, the hand I wanted to hold forever as he said, "hey, I just want to hear it from you." I wanted to grab his hand to mine so we could hold hands like old times.
He paused as he said, "It could be my child, you don't have to hide from me and I already knew you had just broken up with Takumi." When he told me that, I felt like he knew the truth, I didn't have to tell him a thing. He knew the real me and he still never wanted to let me go. I pulled his hand closer to me and managed to say a few words.
I said, "Nobu, please stay with me. I don't want to be with Takumi, I want to be with you. Please never let me go." His hand grasped onto mine as I told him those words.
When I finished my words, he said, "I'll never let you go if that makes you happy." He came into the bed with me and pulled me close into his warm chest and his embrace. I removed the other hand from my face to hold him so he could hold me.
We didn't say anything, holding each other was enough to comfort each other. As Nobu held onto me, I felt right at home. He is so sweet and he really was my prince. He is always there for me through thick and thin. I managed to stop crying as he held me. When he holds me, for a moment some of my worries wither away. I didn't notice that Takumi had came in because my eyes were closed and I was lost in a world with just Nobu in it.
I heard Takumi's deep voice say, "what the hell are you doing?" I slowly felt Nobu let go of me. I felt a shiver run throughout my body when he finally let me go. I opened my eyes slowly as I saw Nobu.
Nobu looked directly at Takumi as he said, "leave, this isn't your apartment. You can't just come in here whenever you want." I was so scared for Nobu to see how Takumi would react. Takumi immediately tried to punch Nobu after Nobu said that. Luckily though Nobu ducked in time. I felt my eyes fill up with tears.
I got up from the bed and shouted, "leave us alone Takumi, please." Takumi rolled his eyes at us as I put my arms around Nobu. He walked away and slammed the door.
Nobu looked at me, and said, "Let's go to bed, we can talk more in the morning." I smiled at him, but inside my heart I wanted him to kiss me. The way he did like the first night he made love to me. He then grabbed my hand and grasped his warm hand into mine.
He started to walk me to the bed, but stopped and said, "oh I almost forgot something." I looked at him a little confused, but kinda already know what was coming. He pulled me closer to his face and leaned in to put my lips onto his. The way Nobu kisses me it's practically breathtaking.
I smiled and said, "you always know what I'm thinking."
He smiled and said, "well we are in sync with each other after all."
I laughed and said, "we definitely are, no matter what people say." It's weird to think that Nobu can make me smile even in situations like this. I know I would miss his sweet smile if I never could see him. He guided me to the bed. He went into bed with me and put me against his body as he held me. I fell asleep rather quickly dreaming of Nobu and I getting married. I woke up in the middle of it though. I thought of irrational I was being, me and Nobu married. Ha, ha I made myself laugh. I was so loud, I startled Nobu awake.
Nobu looked at me confused and said, "what's wrong, bad dream."
I blushed as I looked at Nobu and said, "no, no in fact a really a good dream."
Nobu looked at me and teased, "were you dreaming of us?"
I blushed even more and said, "ok, maybe a little bit."
Nobu laughed and said, "you so were. It's ok I dream of us all the time especially when I'm right here with you."
I looked at him a bit confused. I thought, 'did Nobu actually dream about us. I wonder does he dream of us getting married like I do.' I shook my head no, no as I thought of that.
Nobu started laughing and said, "oh, you're so cute when you do that. Now go back to bed because then I won't be able to stop looking at you."
I blushed and said, "why do you keep looking at me?"
He smiled and said, "because you're just so adorable." He sat up from lying down so he could kiss me. This time I put both of my hands on his cheeks and kissed him more deeply. When we both pulled away, we both smiled at each other.
Nobu put his head on my shoulder and said, "we should probably go to sleep. Well at least me since I have work tomorrow." He then checked his phone for the time and said, "never mind I should say today." I laughed at bit from his comment. He pulled me close so we could lay down in my bed together. I fell asleep until Nobu's alarm went off. I opened my eyes from my dream and looked around for Nobu since I couldn't feel his embrace. When I saw him, I smiled at Nobu. He was already awake because he had his clothes on.
He said, "sorry I forgot to turn that off. I got up early so I wouldn't wake you."
I got up from my bed and said, "it's ok, we need to talk anyway."
He smiled and said, "yeah, so I was thinking we could go an apartment together."
I put my arms around him and said, "really?"
He kissed me on the top of my head and said, "well of course my little Hachi deserves everything. I have some savings left so we can look at an apartment tomorrow. You should stay my place till then though because then you won't have to climb up seven flights of stairs." I started to tear up at the thought of Nobu and I living together. He made me so happy, I wanted to do everything with him.
When Nobu noticed he asked, "hey, why are crying? Am I pressuring you, I'm sorry. Are things moving too fast?" I wiped away my tears and went on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek.
I said, "no I'm just so happy. Nobu, you make me so happy, I just always wanted to live in an apartment with you."
He smiled and said, "you made me worried. I can take a day off if you need me to."
I said, "no I'm good, but we do need to tell everyone our plan."
He smiled and said, "I can pick you before practice so we can explain everything to Shin, Yasu, and Nana."
He looked at his phone for the time and said, "crap, I need to get going. I'll come back around 6 so I can pick you up before practice." He quickly kissed me and began to leave. I had this feeling that it was going to be like this everyday he had work. In the midst of my thoughts, my phone started to ring. My phone was facing down so I could still see the photo of Nobu and I together. The appearance made me smile. I quickly answered the phone forgetting to look at the Caller I.D.
I said, "hello this is Nana," like I always do.
Shin said, "oh you sound good, I heard you are sick. Are you okay?" I didn't know what to say. Should I pretend like I'm sick or should I tell Shin the truth?
I said, "hey Shin, I'm pretty good. Listen are you busy, I've been meaning to talk you and I don't think it's appropriate to tell you over the phone."
Shin said, "yeah totally, we could meet out to breakfast if you haven't ate. I haven't, I'm just walking around Tokyo or I can pick you up something since you're sick." I smiled, Shin can be childish, but he is really mature when he wants to be.
I said, "it would be nice if you pick up something, if you don't mind." I felt a little bit guilty for asking him to do that, but I knew it would be better.
Shin said, "I don't mind, I just need to know what you want."
I said, "I would love some kind of soup like miso soup."
He said, "sure I will be over in maybe a little over a half in hour." I hung up the phone looked down. I completely forgot I was still in my pjs. I quickly changed into some cute clothes. I was feeling much better this morning and felt refreshed. I cleaned up the apartment a bit like making my bed and I set up the table for Shin. Then I heard the doorbell ring and jumped up. I got up from sitting down to answer the door. I quickly answered the door to see Shin. He smiled at me as he walked in.
He sat down in the booth and said, "wow, you didn't have to do all this. I don't want you to overwork yourself."
I sat down with him and said, "don't worry I'm good."
He said, "well I'm glad you're feeling better. What do you need to talk to me about anyway?"
I said, "well-." I got interrupted because Shin was getting out a cigarette.
I didn't know what to say so I accidentally blurted out, "can you please not do that, it won't be good for the baby." I immediately blushed when I realized what I had said to Shin. I really didn't mean to come out like it did. I wanted to tell him softly not like I did.
He immediately stopped and said, "wait, sorry did you just say baby?'
I looked down to my knees as I let out a sigh and said, "yeah, I didn't mean for you to find out like that. Shin, I'm pregnant so Nobu and I are going to look for an apartment together." I was scared of how he was going to react. He got up from the bench and I was afraid he was going to leave me, but Shin surprised me and went into the bench with me to give me a hug.
He said, "I'm sorry Hachi you don't deserve all of this, but I'm glad you're going to be with someone who truly cares about you. You know Nobu really cares about you. Right?" I started to cry because in that moment all my emotions came out.
I stuttered to Shin, "yeah I'm really lucky to have you guys."
Shin said, "we will always be here for you. No matter what. Please believe that."
I said, "I believe you, Shin." After a little bit, Shin and I started to eat breakfast.
