Misaki dropped to the ground.
No.
No.
No.
Her eyes teared up. Was this some kind of sick joke!?
"Breaking News: There has been a plane crash. The plane route was Japan to Britain, and was the only one going that route. The plane reportedly left at 2:00 pm and crashed due to mechanical errors and bad weather. There are no survivors."
It all came crashing down to Misaki, her mind becoming clouded. She couldn't think straight.
Plane crash.
Japan.
Britain.
Takumi.
Misaki then broke down into sobs, tears flooding from her eyes. This can't be true! Her Takumi! There was no way he could be...gone. No! She screamed hysterically, collapsing onto the floor crying. She buried her face in her palms.
She then felt her door opening and in came Tora. The moment he saw Misaki's broken state on the floor, Tora immediately rushed to Misaki and embraced her.
"Shh, shh, it's okay," Tora said as he rubbed her back comfortingly and muttered helpful words. The moment he had gotten the news that Takumi was in a plane crash, he had rushed over to Misaki's house, only praying she was okay.
Misaki sobbed into his shoulders, wishing this wasn't true. But it was true. Takumi's plane was the only one going to Britain today. Why today of all days? Why his plane? Why? Something then snapped inside Misaki.
"You," she said quietly as she pushed herself away from Tora, her raven bangs covering her tear struck face. Tora had a confused look on his faces.
"YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! THIS IS ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT! THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU AND THAT BASTARD GERARD DIDN'T FORCE HIM TO GO TO THAT FUCKING COUNTRY! I HATE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE YOU! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY HUSBAND IS GONE!" Misaki screamed hysterically as she kicked and punched Tora. Her powerful hits grew weaker with each point. There was no use. Nothing she did could convey own angry she was. She was enraged. She was furious. She was confused.
But most of all, she was heartbroken.
Misaki opened her mouth and shakily choked out the words, "Y-You're...you're the reason why my T-Takumi is..." and before she could even finish the sentence, she lost it and started screaming.
"GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" Misaki screamed. She cried into her hands, unable to face Tora.
Tora felt a mountain of guilt crush him. She was right. She was absolutely fucking right. It was all his damn fault. He and Gerard had forced Takumi to go to that cursed meeting all the way in fucking Britain. Yes, it was an important meeting. But he never knew it would result in...this.
It was then that Tora realized there was nothing he could do. There was nothing anyone could do. Takumi was no longer here. And when Takumi left, he took a big part of Misaki's soul. He looked at the broken state of the once strong and fearless woman. He felt his heart crumble. He then knew that his presence would only destroy her further. He then stood up and quietly left.
Once seeing that Tora left, Misaki removed her palms from her face. She glanced at the mirror conveniently placed in the living room. She looked terrible. Her eyes were a bloody red, her hair was a mess, her skin was deathly pale, and she looked so empty.
Misaki realized that it wasn't Tora's fault. It wasn't Gerard's fault. It wasn't anyone's fault but hers. She couldn't put the blame on anyone except herself.
"Come on, Misaaaaaaa" Takumi pouted to Misaki. Takumi had Misaki in his arms as he tightly embraced her underneath the covers of the bed.
"Nope," Misaki said firmly. She giggled when she felt Takumi's golden hair tickle her skin.
Seeing her laugh, Takumi smirked mischievously. He then rolled over on top, trapped Misaki with his towering body, and started tickling the side of Misaki's bare stomach.
"Ow! Noooo! Stop it, you alien!" Misaki protested loudly while laughing loudly.
Takumi smiled when he saw her laughing so carefree. She was so beautiful. Just hearing her laugh so wildly made his heart pound. He then ceased his tickling when he saw that Misaki was laughing too hard and needed to catch her breath. Misaki was grateful when Takumi stopped his devilish fingers.
"Hmmm...how about now? Do I still have to go?" Takumi inquired, fully knowing the answer.
"Takumi, you have to go to the meeting. You can't slack off. This is important," Misaki chided as she buried her fingers in Takumi's hair, gently stroking it.
"That feels nice," Takumi said, getting lost in the feeling of Misaki's soft fingers in his hair.
"Okay, but did you hear what I said?"
"Hmm, what was that?"
Misaki then glared at Takumi. Seeing his wife glare, he stopped kidding around and nodded.
"Okay, okay, I'll go," he said in an exasperated tone. Misaki then smiled, giving Takumi a sweet peck on his cheek.
"You seem awfully eager to get rid of me," he pointed out.
Misaki then rolled her eyes. "You know that's not true. I just don't want you to get in trouble from your grandfather."
"Yes, yes, and I love you for being so understanding. I just... don't want to go all the way over to Britain and stay a week without my beautiful little wife. I'll miss you too much."
"I know, baby. I'll miss my alien too. But it's only for a week," Misaki comforted Takumi, tightening her hold on him. He then kissed Misaki on the lips. It was a sweet and loving kiss that conveyed their emotions. They separated their lips, snuggling up to each other.
Misaki lovingly gazed at the man who held her in his arms. He was so handsome. Inside and out. What did she do to deserve him? She loved him more than anything else in the world, even more than let on.
"I love you, Misaki," Takumi said, holding the same loving look in his beautiful pools of emerald eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. He still had that affect on her after all these years. She would miss him terribly in the one week he would be gone. But she knew he had to go. She couldn't make him compromize his career for her.
"I love you too, Takumi."
Misaki sat quietly, her fragile form leaning against the wall. The sticky streams of salty tears were now dry on her face. She would have gotten up to wash her face, but what was the point? There was no use.
He wasn't ever going to tease her. He wasn't ever going to cook for her. He wasn't ever going to surprise her. He wasn't ever going to comfort her. He wasn't ever going to scold her. He wasn't ever going to hug her. He wasn't every going to kiss her. He wasn't ever going to give her that radiant warmth that only he could give.
Bits and pieces of her shared memories with him started buzzing around in her mind, nothing making sense. From the moment he had discovered her in her maid outfit, from the moment he had jumped off of the school roof for her, from the moment they had confessed their feelings, from the moment they had shared their first kiss, from the moment they had shared their first date, from the moment they had gotten married - it all came crashing down. And those happy memories that would once fill her with unconditional warmth and joy now only made her fragile heart ache.
"I love you, Misaki."
"I love you, Misaki."
"I love you, Misaki."
Her heart crumbled until there was nothing left. After all, Takumi Usui was the man who had selfishly and selflessly broke into her heart and slowly fixed all the cracks and scars. Without him, she was nothing.
She felt nothing. She felt empty.
Takumi Usui was dead.
Misaki Ayuzawa sprang straight up from her bed, panting, trying to catch her breath. She then frantically looked around the room, a thin layer of sweat covering her body. She felt her face. It was sticky with tears.
The room was dark, the only source of light being the moon seeping in through the curtains of the windows. Tears were still gushing from her eyes, and she was uncontrollably shaking. Her amber orbs then landed on the man who was peacefully sleeping right next to her. She felt a wave of relief and affection flood through her.
Takumi then woke up, seemingly startled by Misaki's movements. He blinked his emerald eyes open, then let out a yawn. He casted a worried look at Misaki.
"Hmm...You alright, Misaki?" Takumi asked quietly. He sat up from the bed. Why was she crying? He felt his heart break a little. He hated seeing her cry.
Misaki nodded her head, quickly wiping away the tears from her eye. She didn't want Takumi to worry. But the truth was, she was anything but fine. The dream had felt so real.
Takumi saw right through her. He knew she wasn't fine. He then pulled her in his strong embrace and held her tightly against his body as he sat her on his lap. He lovingly kissed the top of her head to soothe her. As soon as she felt his strong arms around her, Misaki felt relaxed. She snuggled into him, wrapping her own arms around his back.
"Misaki, tell me what's wrong," Takumi said gently. He tilted her head up, wanting to see her face. She was pale, and was still shaking a little. She had something akin to fear in her beautiful golden eyes.
"I...I had a nightmare," Misaki said timidly, a little embarassed to be causing such a ruckus and waking him up over a nightmare.
Instead of teasing her, he nodded in understanding. "Tell me about it," Takumi said. He was curious. What could have gotten her so worked up? They hadn't watched a scary movie since two months ago...
Misaki took a gulp of air and started explaining her dream.
"You...You were on a plane to Britain, and it crashed, and you were g-gone..." Misaki choked out, tears threatening to spill out again.
Takumi comfortingly hushed her, getting the gist of it. So she had a nightmare of him dying, huh?
Takumi rubbed soothing circles on her petite back, comforting his wife that meant the world to him.
"Misaki, that won't happen. I'm right here with you. I won't leave you, I love you too much to do that," Takumi said.
"I know, it's just... It felt so real," Misaki confessed, burying her face in the crook of his masculine neck. She inhaled his addictive scent. He smelled of mint, vanilla, and something that was so uniquely Takumi. She loved his scent. She would've normally blushed and be embarassed by being so close and affectionate to him, but she needed him right now.
"It's alright, baby, it's alright," Takumi said, tightening his hold on her.
She then looked up up from him, her honey eyes meeting his beautiful emerald ones.
"Takumi?"
"Yes, darling?"
Misaki gathered her courage. "Promise me you won't go to Britain tomorrow."
She knew what she said was extremely selfish and illogical. She was making him miss his business meeting over a stupid dream. Maybe she should just let him go, even though she'd die from dread. Worry and doubt were clearly visible on her face. Maybe she should take it back...
Takumi opened his mouth to say something, then closed it. This meeting was really important to the company, and he would surely receive an earful from his grandfather if he wasn't present. However, Misaki was always his first priority. He couldn't leave her. If she didn't want him to go, he wouldn't go.
"I promise," Takumi said with a gentle smile that was only reserved for his wife. Misaki's heart leaped in uncontrollable joy. He was going to stay with her. In turn, she smiled brightly at him, her traces of fear and worry now all gone.
She then pushed him so he was laying on the bed. She then laid on top of him, then kissed him passionately as she brought the covers over them. Takumi froze in shock for a second. It was normally him attacking her with kisses, not the other way around.
He quickly recovered and responded to the kiss with equal fervor. One arm was entangled in her gorgeous locks of raven hair, and the other arm was securely wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Both of Misaki's hands cupped his cheeks as his tongue ran over her lips. A moan escaped from her lip, her mouth forming into an 'o' shape. Takumi took advantage of it and slipped his tongue inside her mouth, both of their tongues fighting for dominance.
They soon let go, both of them needing to catch their breath.
"That," Misaki said while panting, a rosy red color painting her cheeks, "is your thank you."
Takumi let out a deep chuckle. He rolled over until he was on top of Misaki.
"What am I going to do with you, my little vixen?" Takumi whispered, burying his face in her neck.
Misaki rolled her eyes at the nickname. She wrapped her around around his neck.
"I love you, Takumi," she said. She planted a kiss on top of his hair.
"Love you more, Misa darling," she heard him mumble. She then heard him let out a soft snore. She laughed a little, careful not to disturb him. That was unusual. She normally fell asleep on him, not the other way around. Then again, he must've been really tired since she woke him up at around 3 am.
Soon, she found herself being lulled to sleep. She felt so comfortable, so warm, being so close to him. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep with the love of her life in her arms.
Next Day:
"Takumi, come here," Misaki breathed, her eyes glued on the television.
"What is it, Misaki?" Takumi called out from the kitchen, currently making lunch. When he didn't get a response, he stepped into the living room to find his wife's eyes on the television. He shifted his gaze to the tv. His stomach dropped.
"Breaking News: There has been a plane crash. The plane was from Japan and was going to Britain. This plane was the only one going that route. The plane reportedly left at 2:00 pm and crashed due to mechanical errors. There are still reports going, but there are currently no survivors."
Misaki grabbed the remote and pressed the power button, shutting the TV down. The news report was just like the one in her dream. There was an eerie silence between the married couple.
Takumi then ran over to Misaki and engulfed her in a tight embrace.
"That could've been you," Misaki whispered, crushed in Takumi's bear hug.
"But it isn't. I'm right here with you," Takumi said quietly. Misaki nodded, her grip on him tightening.
Yes, he was right there by her side, like he would always be.
