Chapter 12: What a Lovely Sight
2D's POV
After escaping the party, Sakura and I ended up in one of the hotel room's that her uncle gave us a key to. Once we were in, Sakura sighed and laid on the bed. Luckily there were two beds. I sat beside Sakura and looked at her.
"Ya a'ight?" I asked then Sakura opened her eyes.
"Yeah... I'm fine..."
The awkward silence made it uncomfortable for me. I quickly grabbed the remote to the TV and turned it on.
"We interrupt this program to bring you shocking news... We're here live to show you band leader of Gorillaz, Murdoc Niccals and band leader of Cherry Dubbers Nicholas Charusse were seen at this hotel fighting. What's even more shocking is that these two band leaders continue to fight."
"I'LL KNOCK YA INTO NEXT WEEK!" Nick yelled as I saw him and Murdoc trying to fight again but suddenly Sakura's uncle, Kira Yukimura, came out of no where and bumped into Murdoc making my band leader fall onto Sakura's band leader. Both of us gasped from what we just saw; Murdoc, my band leader, kissing Sakura's band leader, Nick on the lips. They both pulled away yelling in disgust. As Murdoc wiped his mouth there was a glimpse shot of Nick throwing up. Sakura grabbed the remote to the TV and turned it off.
"Sakura...?" I called looking at her then she started giggling then laughing really loudly. I wasn't sure if I should laugh with her or not but when she stopped laughing she sighed.
"I'm sorry... It's just... Did you see the look on both our band leaders' faces?" She giggled then I chuckled. Sakura then suddenly let out a yawn then laid back down on the bed.
"Sleepy...?" I asked then she slowly nodded her head. As she fell asleep I smiled and pulled the blanket to cover her body. I noticed how vulnerable she looked right now. If it was Murdoc or Nick they would attack Sakura the moment she's asleep. But since it was me... I'm not sure... A part of me wants to take this opportunity and claim Sakura as mine but another part of me is saying to not do it. If I did something I would risk loosing all connections with Sakura; being close to her and wanting to know... If she really loves me. I wanted to kiss her as I slowly leaned down ready to touch her lips with mine when a sudden thought came to me, is risking it worth it? What would happen if I claim Sakura as mine without even her acknowledgement? Would she think of me as someone that has stooped to Murdoc and Nick's level? I pulled my head away and sighed softly.
You're lucky you're so adorable... I thought then I went to the balcony and light a cigarette and smoked.
