Chapter 4: Dream or Reality?
Finally, it was Saturday and it was funny, they both slept in until ten in the morning, and Takuma was the first one to wake up-odd, it was usually Aurora who woke up first, and when he looked, she wasn't there. Also, somehow he ended back in his room. Wait, Kaname locked up the Moon Dorms the night before, so why would he be back? But then he saw the walls were covered with a bright red substance-but it was blood! He finally saw that the blood was covering him at a quick steady pace, and that was when he realized that it was Aurora's blood…
Cold sweat then covered his forehead, as he wiped it off; he saw that Aurora was still asleep, next to him and safe. Shoot! He fell asleep in his uniform again. It was funny that these dreams were getting frequent, not that he'd tell her that. But then he heard her sit up, as Aurora wrapped her arms around him, she could feel his constant torment of guilt.
"Ichijo-senpai, are you alright?" She wondered as he tried to remain calm.
"Yes, I'm fine," he answered. It was a lie, but it was really the best way he could explain it without making her worry.
Yet, her melodic voice made him uneasy, as it caught him off guard. "You're lying, so tell me what's really bothering you." It scared him when she made it plain and simple.
Takuma couldn't hide it any longer; he explained everything, from the horrifying dreams, to the sudden blackouts, and to the pain that he held. Everything was alright again, but it didn't feel alright. He was then forced to look at her, straight into her eyes, which was more that he could handle. That was when she felt his soft lips against his, now he couldn't break away. He was on top of her now, not wanting Aurora to get away, he automatically embraced her, finally succumbing to sleep, as she held him close to her whispering comforting words into his ear.
