Hahaha… I'm so glad you guys like it! And I'm supposed to 'feed' you guys with this chapter during the holiday according to Noobility. Since when did my story become a food? Hahaha… Well, anyway, here's the next chapter!
Misaki: Who?
As I walked down the stairs, I pondered on both his and my actions earlier. Somehow, I felt like I was not myself neither was he. There was something weird about Usagi-san. He had this silly grin on his look that I could not properly interpret. Was it happiness? Joy? Relief? Bliss? Did he think I was an illusion or something? I knew he was weird but somehow today, he seemed to be weirder than ever. Why did he laugh at me anyway? Did he go crazy when I was not around? That would probably explain the state of the house.
'Argh! I forgot to scold him about that!' I yelled in my mind, smacking my forehead. But the previous ragged state of his immediately wiped of any anger. I felt my heart clenched a little.
And me! Why am I acting like a girl, blushing like that? I certainly felt the heat rising to my cheeks moments ago. Well, yeah, it may be a little embarrassing waking up beside a man but is there something that I should be shy about? Come on, we are both men, right? It's not like any one of us is a woman where she would be embarrassed for being found sleeping with a man even if nothing happened. Well, perhaps a little since we are both adults. Onii-chan used to sleep with until I was twelve. That was because I protested that I was not a child anymore. Maybe sleeping with Usagi-san made me think that I was childish. Perhaps that was why I felt embarrassed. Yet, deep down in me, a little traitorous voice whispered silently.
'You like being in his arms, right?' I could feel blood rushing to my face once again. Why did I feel like this? It was an extreme secure feeling that bloomed like a flower in my heart and still blossoming even now. It was a strange emotion. But I was glad he said that I can come back. I was half worried that he would not allow it. It was rather weird blurting such a question suddenly that I was rather taken aback as well. I was glad when he welcomed me back though. It was warm and comforting. I guess all this awkwardness is because I don't remember things about us. Who was Usagi-san to me? What did we do together? Well, at least it did not feel awkward when I yelled at him so suddenly. It was like my body took control over my mind and it felt natural. I guess I used to scold him a lot before. And like he had said, my body remembered what to do.
My body moved on its own, preparing breakfast as I continued to ponder. As the eggs fried in the pan with a silent sizzling sound, another memory invaded my string of thoughts. Usagi-san was commending that eggs had this yellow feel that was nice. I laughed at the weird memory. He was really a strange person. The next memory that followed was peculiar as well. For some reasons, Usagi-san was trying to cook. He, who was hopeless in cooking, added drinkable yogurt into the omelet he was making! I made a mental note to myself to never, ever to let him enter the kitchen again since that day.
My brows knitted together as I felt that throb that signaled a headache was its way. Rubbing my forehead to soothe the pain, I closed my eyes to stop the spinning. A little headache is not going to make me stop remembering things about me and Usagi-san! I will not lose to this headache! So far, though the memories of him and me were blur and hazy, some weird and doesn't make any sense, they all were nice memories. Perhaps they are related to bad memories but I could not clearly remember them all. The memories were all in parts and bits. Even if they were unpleasant memories, I wanted to remember them all because they are all my memories.
'He said to take my time but I want my memories back faster…' I thought determinedly. I wanted to know who he was to me. A good friend? A brother-like figure? Somehow, none of these fit. Another squeeze in my heart accompanied my headache. Why did I remember everyone else but him? Who is he to me?
….
Yes, this is a short chapter as well; therefore, there are two updates instead of one in this month! Aren't you glad? Hahaha… Misaki will have more to say in the later chapters… *smirk evilly* Next update will be next week! If I'm 'happy', I might even cut the countdown short! You know what I mean! ^_^
Now now! What are you supposed to do?
