Rainclouds. Anyways everyone, I'll shut up now, I hope you all have fun reading this fic!
Chapter 11: Sleep
The food chain
There's a world of animals, a kingdom of eaters and eated
The strong lion usually hunts down the fast gazelle
The hunt starts, the lion is hungry
The gazelle is scared, the lion is even hungrier
The grass is stepped on and the lion hungers
The wind passes by their ears and the lion roars of hunger
But
Suddenly
The lion isn't hungry anymore.
The lion goes back to his territory far away
The lion sits on his rock and sleeps
But I'm still scared.
How much beauty can someone take in before feeling overwhelmed? Before knowing that their shackle of a body can't withstand the sight showed upon their watering irises. How much happiness can you take before crashing down into a new world, being taken away by a breeze of joy? I think I'll one day find out.. When this is all over, when I'll hold her hand and we'll smile watching television on the couch with the others.. Feeling everything is over. When she'll tell me how much she hates a certain TV show and get angry at the fact I didn't listen fully, the distraction of Sayori swallowing the content of an entire peanut butter jar in one scoop making my frail attention leave her words to focus on the monstrous quantity of food the cinnamon roll can eat. When Natsuki's laughter is bright and filled with true joy and Yuri's snicker is friendly as they witness Monika beating the ever loving crap out of me with her words.. When I'll get to shut her up by putting my lips on hers as the baker chuckles, as Yuri blushes, and Sayori keeps on eating her freaking peanut butter... I'll be a different man by then.
"Come on now.. let's leave the bed you sloth" I smile to myself as I start to walk towards the coat hanger carrying my long sleeve t-shirt and blue jeans, the reverberation of the sunlight shining on the metal parts of the tool where my clothes are laid, going straight into my eyes blinding me. Finally I grab the clothes and puts them on, feeling only a slight pain as I put my now healed arm through the left sleeve of the shirt.
"Good as new" I smile before running through the halls of the hospital, going towards the exit, bumping into nurses and doctors rushing through the halls just like me as my voice echoes one sole word everytime "Sorry! sorry, sorryyy, sorry!" I yell as my shoulders bump the staff and their grunts and growls leave their mouth as a reflex. The exit is right there.. And now I need to go to Sayori's house..
I exit the damned hospital and walk out, It must be about noon.. I look down at my phone.. " 15 new messages!? Wow Monika.. Chill" I whisper with a smirk starting to run towards the direction of my house.. "I hope everything's alright.." I say with worry taking hold of my voice, placing my finger on the pad, unlocking my phone. My thumb taps on the message app and I open Monika's messages.. They tell me how Sayori is feeling.. How she attempted suicide just like in the game.. How there was a poem just like the abomination told me, and how she was going to finish it and.. Leave. Thank the odds Monika arrived and stopped it.. I hope the Sayori's out of trouble now.. We saved her, it should be good.
I close my eyes and pant heavily as I stop and sit down on a bench like a machine running low on fuel.. Fatigue is taking hold of my muscles, can't move an inch.. I need to breathe.. I look around at the people walking down the street.. their faces are strangely.. anime. The bodies completely out of proportion with them looking like well.. Anime characters. Their hairs spiking on their head and forming a controlled chaos on their skull. The world is really changing.. I didn't realize how much.. As if after Monika left everyone became.. Anime-er..
"Time to go.." I whisper to myself standing back up and walking to my apartment. I keep on re-reading the girl's messages on my way there.. If only she wasn't there Sayori could have.. Died.. I didn't know her for long in actuality.. But it felt like she was present throughout my whole life in a way, ever since childhood, the point is I couldn't see her go.
"Sheesh.. Thank heavens for Monika" I look at the programmed clock on my phone and punch in the digicode to my apartment's front door, I arrived at 1 34 Pm tired and needing to see the girls. I walk up the steps to my house and grab the handle of the door wanting to hug Sayori, tell her everything's okay, that no matter what in the world I'll be here for her, and she's got friends that will always land a helping hand!
"Hi everyone." I say coldly, tired.
"Hey love!" Monika's voice rings out from the living room
"Where's Sayori?" I ask taking off my shoes before walking towards the couch.. Apparently Monika's watching a weird action film.. With sharks flying everywhere in the air in a tornado.. "So do you plan on being a cute weirdo forever or is it just a phase?" I ask sitting down next to her smiling.
"I will take zero judging in this room from someone wearing long sleeves during the summer" The girl turned around to face me, taking her attention away from the part where one of the sharks flew towards a lady to chomp on her what would later remain of her face..
"Good point good point" I look into her emerald eyes, they transmit all the emotions I need to know.. Affection, love, playfulness.. She really is cute.. beautiful.. Her brown hair held together by her white bow, it going down her back, her shoulders would be a perfect place to plant soft kisses.. and looking down having her chest.. where her heart is located.. Underneath the flesh of course~ Every bit of her is perfect in my eyes.. And just the right amount of cheekyness..
I repeat myself once more. "Where's Sayori?" The girl turned around to me with a calm look, one of tranquility and rest after a job well done..
"She's sleeping in your bed, don't disturb her darling, she needs it" Monika turns her glare back at the television as I stand up, going towards the kitchen and looking for something to eat..
"Where's the.. where where where is the chocolate?" I ask looking through the cupboards. "MONIKA?"
"YEAH!?"
"WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE!?"
"SAYORI!"
God dammit for the cookie monster..
I go back to the living room and lay on the couch right next to Monika, checking my social medias as she absent minded smiles at the movie.. She kicks her feet on the table and lays her head on my shoulder.. makes me escape a small giggle when I feel her brown hair lay on my shoulders.. "How's it going there?" I playfully ask smelling her perfume
"Pretty good, found my way to a place I adore with someone I adore just the same haha~" She closes her eyes and smiles, I do the same.. and like that.. Us two lovers drifted to unconsciousness..
Is this fantasy? Or reality? Am I really living my dreams? Or dreaming this life with him? It's a grey area.. I don't know myself, but I love it anyway, it feels so amazing to be living your dreams, to have what you worked for. I think it's the first time in my life this happened to me, having what I wanted.. It feels so amazing.
I can hear his snoring.. Watch his chest lift up and down as the movie keeps on playing.. But I'm not really paying attention to it now am I? haha~ I would do anything for this man.. For us.. I nuzzle against his neck and start thinking as I bathe in his body heat.. "Sayori's done.. Yuri and Natsuki left.." I look up at the ceiling, wondering if the gods are watching.. What even are they.. And how does this thing work..
I await some sort of mythical answer.. as if just thinking about their existence would lead them to appear or something, anything, but nothing happens.
He's fast asleep.. The player.. MC.. what even is his name.. I love him with all my heart yet. I don't even know his name? That's silly..
Thinking into it... I think he gave a name to the MC back in the game.. It started with a T.. "Tristian?.. no.. Tom? No..." I sit up and start to think about the identity of my beloved..
"Thomas.." He replies with a smile opening a single sleepy eyes.. "Come on now.. lay with me and sleep.. I want to hug you sweetie" He opens his arms with a small chuckle..
It really feels amazing..
The surface of the walls was colder than usual, a chill of death ran through this apartment, as if the universe's sorrow was locked inside the small girl's room..
Sobbing quietly, she was sitting on her bed.. Hugging her knees, leaving her teardrops on the blankets, the salty water accumulated on the drapes was growing every second. Her frail stature cramped on itself that way was unbearable to the sight, yet it was a way of comfort.. Coping with what was to come.. Her father would arrive soon after all.
The room was colored pink, the light bulb's shine setting an orange tinted appearance all around.. The posters on the wall were dusty and the overall ambiance of the room was eerie to say the least.. The contrast between the small girl's sobs and cries on the otherwise bright pink room screamed uncanny..
She had had such bad grades recently, braced herself for the deep, sad, hurting future she faced. Closing her eyes once more, she rocked back and forth, singing a small song to calm her shaky breath and overwhelming anxiety..
The door opened.. Her fear soaring through the sky as she heard her progenitor lock it after he entered..
She stopped crying.. Silencing herself, praying he would forget about the very existence of his own daughter.. It would be a blessing.. She prayed for this to happen.. She even stopped breathing..
The wood planks started creaking under her father's weight.. He went up the stairs. Stopping at the corridor leading to their separate rooms.. She re-opened her eyes, shedding tears once more... No point praying, no point hoping.
"I'm here.."
And that was the end of chapter eleven! sorry if this one was rather small, I needed a warm up once more, since I haven't worked on this fic for so long hehe..
I'll see you all in chapter 12, for the Natsuki arc! Much love everyone^^
