A Slip Out of Reality: Chapter 2
"Mmm," I shifted in bed.
"Hey."
"Mmm?" I slowly began opening my eyes when I jumped of surprise. "CHROM!?"
Said man, sat beside my makeshift bed and smiled. "Morning."
"Chrom, do you always do this?"
"Do what?"
"Umm," it was hard to keep eye contact with him. It was embarrassing to admit, but I might have had a slight crush on him back when well, you know, he was 'not real.' "Well, like, greet everyone, or me, like every morning?"
"No," he laughed. "Why do you ask?"
Was he really asking that? "Well, cuz you kinda are always there whenever I wake up!" I couldn't help, but laugh and at this, he heartily joined in. So that's what went on when they weren't fighting and all. Everything was so strange and a million other things, but I'd be lying if he wasn't a lot 'cooler' than I thought him to be.
"Well, just wanted to tell you breakfast was ready so you could join us." He smiled as he got up and made to exit the tent.
"Okay, thanks." All of a sudden his countenance turned dark.
"Oh, and I actually- well, I almost forgot, but I wanted to talk to you about last night-"
"Ah, last night? About that-" Honestly, I myself was trying to figure out everything and in the meantime telling him the truth seemed to be too crazy for him to understand, so I figured maybe I'd tell him another time and meanwhile just go along with it? I mean how long could this dream, because it most definitely had to be a dream, last? Two days tops, I thought. So in the meantime, "I was just so tired, you know. Fighting is a lot harder than I thought it'd be when I joined you guys, but I mean I'll get used to it."
"Oh, I see," relief washed over his features. He smiled brightly, "Well you won't have to worry about that now. The fight's over. Sure we still need a lot of work in rebuilding our lives and the people's, but it'll be a lot less harder from here on out." He paused. His cheeks flushed red, "and from here on out we'll have each other. It won't just be you alone. You'll have me."
I felt myself turn bright red. "R-right!" I fumbled. "Thanks," I managed as I gulped deeply. He's still on about the whole marriage thing. Well, too late to turn back now. I'll just go along with it and who knows maybe by then I'll wake up! No, not by then before! Only the gods know how awfully awkward it'll get if I'm actually still in this world and we really do marry!
"So, hurry changing and meet us outside. The group's been asking about you since you went missing last night for dinner."
"Yeah, okay!" As my gaze followed him until he got out I let out a deep sigh. What if this wasn't a dream I wondered? No, it had to be. I stood up and with deep breaths I made a resolve to go on with it all until things sorted themselves out.
*Author's Note:* Thank you everyone for your wonderful reviews! I was quite surprised to even get any! haha XD Well, I'm so happy and thankful! I hope that my updates will live up to your expectations!
Oh and just a note, I'm trying to fit my story into the game's story so this kind of takes place around after Chapter 11 (I think it is), but I'm working on "reviewing/replaying" the game that way it won't be confusing, but in the meantime hope it all makes sense and feel free to leave comments/reviews/suggestions! I'd love to hear your own opinions on what you guys would do if you were the one who "slippped" into their world! haha :P
