I finally snap back into reality as I stare into the eyes of that girl I meet all so long ago. None of us are saying a word, so I put on a bright smile, ready to speak. "Hey Mayu! Long time no see, hu-" I am then immediately cut off as Mayu lunged at me, holding me in a tight hug. "Yuuko! Thank goodness I'm not here alone! It's so weird here, and everyone speaks Japanese, an-.." She stopped and just looked at me with a worrisome expression. "Yuuko..what happened to your nose?.."
"Oh.." I start as I gently rub my nose. "It's nothing. Really. I just fell down, and..." I stop to realize that Mayu was tearing up. Jeez, its not that serious. "Mayu..I promise, I'm oka-" I'm cut off as Mayu embraces me again, tears falling down her face. "I'm..just happy that I'm not here alone.." I gently smile at her. "Me too Mayu." We stay like that for a few seconds, until... "HEY! Get a room, you bozos!" yelled a man who was walking by. "Step off, jerk!" I yell back. Mayu was just sitting there, slightly blushing. We both pick up the scattered groceries, placed them in the bags, and started walking.
There were still some on the road, but I'm not risking getting ran over for a few cans. While we're still walking, I might as well as some questions. "So Mayu..why are you out in the city tonight?" "Hm? Well...ehehe...I...got lost." I smirk at her. "Really, Mayu?" "Hey! We're somewhere we have never been before! Atleast give me some credit!" She protested. "I was also sent here unaware Mayu, and I have learned where I live, so I don't think I can do that~" I say playfully. "That's because you're a fast learner.." I hear her mutter.
Okay, time to get serious. "Okay, better question. How did you get here?" After I asked, she was in a moment of thought before awnsering. "Well, I was just doing my own buisness on my computer, when a random pop up came up, it was about...um..what was it?..School Days! A pop up about School Days. Since we both enjoy it, I decided to click the pop up, and it took me to a download link." Just like me... "I clicked on the link and it downloaded and I clicked on it. Then nothing happened for a while. Then all of a sudden, everything went all white, then, Bam! I passed out. I woke up somewhere that wasn't my room."
Basically what she said next was what happened to me, she put on the uniform that was in the room, and some stranger guided her to the train to the school. She figured out everyone was speaking Japanesse, so she played along. Turns out she's in class 1-3, the same class as Makoto and Sekai! She hasn't been able to interact with them though. But earlier today, she heard someone mention my name, some with brown hair and a ponytail. Wonder who that could be. So, she then knew I was here. Soon, she left and headed out into the city where she got lost, and was running aimlessly, and then, the rest is history.
By the time she finished, we were already near my home. "Oh, there is the house I've been staying in!" She points across to the house that's across and a few houses down from mine. "Well, now that you found your house, I'll see you in the morning!" As I walk off towards my house, I feel her clutch my arm to keep me from moving. "What is it Mayu?" "Well...um..can I...stay with you?" Huh?! Why would she want to do that? Though I'm a little setback, I manage to keep my posture. "How come, Mayu?" "Well, uh...it's kinda scary being here all alone, and my parents aren't here either. You don't have to if you dont want me to-" "Okay!" I interupt. "You can stay!" She puts a bright smile on her face as she nearly tackles with a hug. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll go get my stuff!"
With that, she runs off to her house to get her personal items, while I walk inside my home. I shower and put on my yellow pajamas. After that, I brewed some tea, sat down on my couch and relaxed. Moments laater, I hear a knock on my door, and I go to awnser it. Turns out it was Mayu with everything she needed. I invited her in, and I let her stay in my parents' room, since there was no guest room. After she changed into her pajamas, I figured it was about time to sleep.
"Well, since you're all settled in, I'm going to sleep. See you in the morning!" I say as I walk towards my room when Mayu grabs my arm once again to stop me. "What do you need Mayu?" "Umm...Can you please sleep with me tonight?" HUH?! This time, I couldn't hold my posture, so I stumbled back a little. "What?! No way Mayu!" She pouts at me. "Why? We used to sleep together all the time when we were kids." "Yeah, but we were kids then! It's gonna be weird if we do it at our age!"
Mayu gives up as she frowns and puts her head down. "You..Your right. I shouldn't have asked for such a ridiculous favor..I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone now." Darn..I feel bad now..Maybe just one night wouldn't hurt.. "Okay Mayu..You win. But only for one night, okay?" Her eyes immediately lit up again as she practically dragged me into the room. "Come on!" She said happily. I laid down on one side of the bed, and she laid on the other.
I was about to close my eyes, I feel Mayu embrace me, with her head snuggled into my chest. "Good night Yuuko.." I gently caress her hair as I smile. "Good night Mayu.." In a few more minutes, she was fast asleep.
Now, incase you're thinking, no. What just happened wasn't mean't romantically. You see, me and Mayu did have sleepovers alot as children, and one night, a storm hit. The thing is, Mayu was afraid of lightning and thunder when she was little, so she cried hysterically when we were tucked in. I tried everything to make her stop, but nothing worked. Well, then I brought her close and wrapped her in a hug, she instantly stopped crying, and was blushing a little bit too. Can't say I wasn't blushing either. In a few moments, she wrapped her arms around me as well, and we fell asleep hugging each other.
Apparently, when my mom went to check on us, she found us like that, and took a picture on with her phone. "It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen!" She would say.
I was embarassed by the whole thing, but Mayu was another story. She actually made us sleep like that for the rest of the sleepovers we had. When I asked her why, she said it was just really soothing and calming, and...I would be lying if I didn't feel that way either. We stopped having sleepovers around middle school, and this is the first time we have done this in a while. I look back at Mayu who is cuddled in my chest. I smile once again as I drift off into slumber..
Author's Note: Hey guys, it's me again! Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, I was busy with school and junk. But now I'm back, and I'm going to try to post more frequently! In other news, I see people not very hopeful about Mayu, more about her being a girl, and God knows how many girls there are in School Days. But, I have two things to say. One, she is NOT a planned love interest at this time, so those of you hoping for Yuuko and Sekai can celebrate! Two, she will impact the story. I didn't just randomly put her in the story for the sake of it, she is actually pretty important. Why? Well I obviously won't say it now, but you'll see~
With that being said, thanks for reading! Make sure to leave a review as well, they're like fuel to keep me going
