The Day I found You

Chapter 1-

These past few days Akira had been upset, I just know it. Whenever I see his face, all I can see is sadness dwelling inside of him. He doesn't even try doing his job anymore. I think I know what happened, but I can't be sure. I let a sigh out as I go back to drawing my characters for my next manga volume. I don't feel like working either. It bothers me to see Akira gloomy.

A moment later, I hear the door knob turn so I assumed it was Akira. I got up from my black leather swivel chair and walked through the chestnut-colored door, into the blushed-colored living room.

"Hey," I smiled as I greeted the strawberry-blonde haired man in front of me.

"Oh, hey," Akira said with a depressing look on his face as he let a sigh out and put on a fake smile.

"What's wrong?" I asked even though I know exactly what's wrong.

"W-what? Everything is fine." The fair-haired boy cracked a fraud smile and nervously laughed.

I just went along with what he said and stopped prying for details. "Alright, I'll make dinner so go take a shower." I tell him as I head towards the beige kitchen. I let out a sigh as Akira entered the bathroom and because I'm out of his sight. 'Guess he's more hurt than I thought...' I tried not to think about it, now I need to make a meal that will make him happy.

I planned to make some rice balls, his favorite miso soup, and some salted salmon.
I was cutting some vegetables for the miso soup when my mind had wandered into a place it shouldn't have and I carelessly hurt my finger with a ceramic knife.

"Ow!" I couldn't help but cry out in pain. The knife dug deep into my skin.

Hearing that, Akira quickly ran out of the bathroom, half naked, with only his blue jeans on and came towards me.

"Miharu, What happened?! Are you okay?" He asked as he grabbed my soft hands. Blood was dripping out of my fingers and suddenly the blonde man took my fingers to his soft, pink lips and sucked on them. I felt my face getting hotter and hotter as my heartbeat started racing. He licked and sucked on the bloody area of my fingers with his skilled tongue. I just stood there, and watched as Akira devoured my fingers carelessly. 'Man...I hope he doesn't hear my heartbeat or notice the blush on my face.'

A moment later he stopped and licked his fair lips.
"That should do it." He says as he smiles. This time it wasn't a fake smile. My heart was still racing as I shake the thought off.

"You were over-reacting! I was fine." I reply as I snicker. 'Akira always makes me feel better.'

"Eh, better safe than sorry." He quietly jokes as he sticks his tongue out at me.

"Now go put on a damn shirt!" I shouted as I softly chuckled.

"Alright, mom." He smirks as he leaves the kitchen.

I'm finally done preparing dinner. Akira said he was going to take a nap for a while, just until I finished making dinner. (Since my fingers were hurt, it took be a little longer to finish cooking.)

I let out a sigh as I walk up the cool wooden stairs and head towards the room at the right. As I enter the room, I see a sleeping bear. He is very cranky when he wakes up, he even loses his senses and does some odd things. I walk towards the sleeping figure and let out a big sigh. 'Why would he go to sleep now?' I knew it was going to take courage to wake him up. So I slowly sit on the side of the bed as I whisper his name in his softly into his ears.

"Aki-chan, wake up, dinner is ready." I softly whispered. Any man should be careful now. This guy is a wild beast in his sleep. He has no sense of his surroundings.

"..Mmm.." Akira grunted in his sleep as he rolled to the other side, now facing my body as I watched him. He grabbed my wrist in his sleep. "Rit...su..." Akira mumbled as a smile forms on his lips. I let a sigh out, 'He must be having a good dream...about Ritsu...'

The sleeping Akira pulled me towards him as I slipped under his arms. 'Ugh, this guy does this all the time..' I tried to escape from his grasp, but even though he's sleeping, his grasp was too strong. 'He must really love Ritsu...'

He pulled me underneath him as he got on top of me. I tried to push him off before he did something.

"Aki-chan, wake the hell up!" I yelled as I shake him to wake him up.
"Mmmm..." He was still half-asleep. I let out a sigh as I continue to shake him awake.

Suddenly he woke up, and was aware of what was happening. He looked down at me and his eyes widened. "Uh..." Akira started to say in confusion.

"Yes, you tried to do this in your sleep." I softly growl as I sigh. 'Even though I love this man, I can't let him do something like this when he's asleep and unaware.'

"Oh, oops, sorry," He nervously snickers as he gets off of me.

"Dinner is gonna be cold if you don't eat up, so let's go." I told him as I get up to head to the kitchen table. I shake the thought of what I heard out of my head.

'I didn't tell him that I heard him say Ritsu's name in his sleep...I won't tell him that I know he's in love with Ritsu.'

There was a silence while we were eating dinner until Akira broke it.

"How was your day, cupcake?" He asks and I can tell he was feeling uncomfortable from the silence as well.

"Aki-chan, stop calling me cupcake, you sound like my dad saying stuff like that." I reply as I laugh.

"Then stop calling me 'Aki-chan', you sound like some kind of cute little girlfriend." He says as he chuckles.

"I know exactly what you're imagining, pervert!" I shout as I point at him, laughing.

"What? You in a dress? That's exactly what I'm imagining." He jokes as he giggles.

My face reddened as I continued eating.

After dinner I worked on my manga planning, and Akira worked on his next novel.

By the time Akira had to leave my place, it was almost pasted midnight.

"Hey, get home safe, ok?" I yelled after Akira as he was leaving.

"I'm not a kid. And you, get some sleep, ok cupcake?" He smirked as he said that.
"Hey! Don't call me that!" I shouted back as I waved at him and I felt myself blush.

'I'm so tired.' I yawned as I walked up the wooden stairs and to my room at the right. (The room Akira was sleeping in was mine, and since we've known each other for so many years we sometimes share our beds with one another.)

I changed into some comfortable clothing, my gray t-shirt and my black sweatpants. And then I headed for my soft king-size bed. I couldn't sleep immediately as I kept thinking about...Akira. 'I can't get Akira out of my head! Ugh! I'm so irritated right now. Maybe...Just maybe...I s-should've told him how..I felt? No, no, no, NO. There's no way he'd fall for me...' I let a big sigh out as I tried to go to sleep. 'I wish Akira were here next to me...' My face turned red as dirty thoughts went through my head. 'I...I think I'm going to tell him tomorrow. It's already been more than 15 years since I fell in l-love with him...'
