It was a Wednesday afternoon, two days before Satella and Subaru's date. The city was filled with cars, driving around to get to their destination. Tall buildings spread all across the area, windows shining as the sun reflected off of them.
Standing on the balcony of an apartment building, was a black haired boy, gazing at the city that he grew up in. There was no sentimental attachment between Subaru and this city. The only thing he could say about it was that he was born in it.
Being an ex-shut-in he never went outside to enjoy the days of his youth. Instead, he stayed inside his room all day, never letting the sun touch his skin. He regretted wasting those days in solitude.
The view offered from his balcony was rather entrancing, allowing the black haired boy a full view of the place he calls home. He could see everyone walking on the streets below him, they were like ants from where he is situated. Moving to and from work, business, or simply shopping with friends.
He closes his eyes as he promises to strive better, to be more active, something his parents want very much from their shining star. Furthermore, his sister Beako would always insist on them leaving to go do fun and exciting things, an action that truly helped the both of them.
Subaru would always come to his balcony and just lean against the rail and observe the city. It was a good way to just relax and free his mind from all of his tiring work. While gazing at the city, he couldn't stop his mind from wandering to a certain girl. The silver-haired beauty with gorgeous amethyst eyes, Satella. Ever since their stream together his thoughts would drift off as he thought about her occasionally.
It was an odd feeling, how little time they have known each other, yet it seemed like they were two old friends, rather than two recently acquainted strangers. Subaru was surprised how it seemed like Satella knew him inside and out, his preferences and desires. He attributed it to how he must seem like an open book to some people.
Subaru and Satella liked each other, though they both didn't fully know the feelings of the other. Subaru could only think about how their relationship would continue to move on from this point. He knew that Satella liked him and looked up to him, but that was it. He didn't know much about her other than her kind personality and admiration sent towards himself. If he wanted a chance with her, he had to learn more about her, while slowly getting comfortable with her. It wouldn't end well if he decided to rush things.
Rushing things never went well with Subaru, he remembers back in high school how impulsive he had been and would stutter words or display flashy poses that made his fellow students uncomfortable. While it took a long time, he had learned from those mistakes and accepted his faults and weaknesses, yet he had never been in a relationship before.
There was a good chance that if he asked Satella to be his girlfriend right now, she would accept. However, is that really what he wants? They have only known each other for less than a week. It wouldn't feel like a real relationship if they forced a relationship, there wouldn't be a connection between them.
They had to form a strong bond first, and once they did, everything would smoothly piece itself together. At least that's what he hoped would happen. The world is a cruel place, anything could happen.
He had seen how she had acted around him. She was very shy and looked up to him. Some people would say this is a sign of love, but it could also just be a sign of respect at meeting someone you admire. Subaru didn't know which of these two options was the case.
While contemplating his love life, Subaru's phone rang. He normally never got calls from anyone, only the usual Scam Likely and his parents now and then checking up on him. Taking out his phone from his tracksuit's pocket, he looked at the caller, it was his mom.
Memories flash in the boy's mind of his loving parents. Natsuki Naoko an absent minded yet wonderful mother to Subaru and Beatrice, who was weirdly obsessed with mayo, just like the other members of the family. As well as their father Natsuki Kenichi. A true titan of an individual that would always manage to make Subaru cheer up despite his penchant for wrestling moves early in the morning. Subaru smiles at the memories.
Answering the phone and putting it to his ear, his mom spoke.
"Hello Subaru, how are you, are you doing okay?" Naoko asked curiously with the slight worry a mother would show for their child.
Even though there was nothing she should be worried about, she couldn't help but do so. He was her baby boy and always will be. Even if he didn't like her calling him that at times, she would never stop.
"Yeah, I'm doing great mom, you message me almost every day to check up on me." Subaru responded. He didn't mind his mom worrying about him so often. It only made him happy that she cared so much about him.
"I do it because I worry about you, I'm your mother after all. I'll always worry about my baby boy, especially since he is living alone now." Subaru closed his eyes as he smiled. This world didn't deserve her, Naoko was the best mom Subaru could ever ask for. He could only feel thankful for having her as his mother.
"Yeah, I get that, and I appreciate it. Well, is there anything else you want to say? I don't think that you would call me just to ask how I'm doing." She would usually text him to check up on him. Today was different, she had called him instead of sending a simple message. She must have something to talk to him about.
"Oh right, I wanted to ask if you could pick up Betty from school this Friday? At least for only a few hours. Your father is going to be at work, and I won't be able to pick her up."
"Really? Damn it. I had a date planned for Friday, but if I have to then I will. I don't mind picking up Beako." Though it sucked that his date had to be pushed back, he didn't mind since he was going to be taking care of Beako.
"Oh? You had a date planned? Who's the lucky girl?" Naoko teased. She wasn't too surprised that her Subaru was already getting girls. He was a handsome young man just like his father after all.
"Her name is Satella, she is a wonderful girl. She is absolutely beautiful and very charming. I'll be sure to introduce you to her soon. You'll love her."
"I can't wait to meet this Satella then. You better bring her over as soon as you can." Naoko wanted to meet this girl that had caught Subaru's eye. If she was as amazing as he told her, then she couldn't wait to see for herself.
"I will, and I can't wait for you to meet her. Goodbye mom."
"Goodbye sweetie, I love you"
"I love you too, bye." Ending the call, he walked back inside and to his room, phone in hand. He sat down in his chair, laid back, and stared at the ceiling.
"I have to tell Satella about Friday, this is going to suck." He lays there for a few minutes before sitting up right.
Subaru opened his phone and went to his messages. Pressing on Satella's name, he was about to start typing but stopped. What should he say? What's the best thing to say to not make her mad? Will she still want to go on the date if it was postponed? He contemplated this for a few seconds. Once done, he steeled himself and began typing.
"Hey Satella, if you're not busy I have to tell you something about our date on Friday." He sent the message and waited patiently. He didn't want to make her disappointed or sad. He just wanted to make her happy and have a fun time.
"I'm free right now, what do you want to tell me?" She responded wanting to know what he had to say. Maybe he wanted to go somewhere and decided to ask her opinion on it.
"Well, my mom just called me a few minutes ago. She told me that Friday I would have to go and pick up my little sister from school. Beako's probably going to want to stay with me the whole day instead of going home." After finally sending the message he waited anxiously for a response.
After a minute with no response, Satella had finally answered him. "Oh, I guess there is nothing we can do about that. If it's fine with you, we can still hang out together with your sister. We can just postpone the day of our date."
Satella was a little disappointed that they couldn't go out together on Friday. Though there is still a chance they could, it would have to be with his sister. She wanted to be alone with Subaru, just the two of them together. However, if Friday is not possible, it could just be moved to another day. She could use this opportunity to get friendly with his sister. After all, she is going to become her sister-in-law in the future. It would be a good idea to get a head start on their relationship.
"That's a great idea! We could maybe go to the arcade, then get some food somewhere. Beako loved going to the arcade with me." Subaru smiles to himself, reminiscing about the old times he and Beako played together. It would be amazing to play together again. He missed her a lot even though they haven't been apart for that long.
"The arcade? That would be really fun! I can't wait to go with you and Beako!" She smiled widely reading his reply, thinking about all the fun they would have.
"Alright it's settled then. Us three will be going out together on Friday to the arcade! I, Natsuki Subaru, will make it a wonderful and memorable day for all of us." He shouted proudly, well actually typed. He vowed he would make it a great day for all of them, and he would make sure his words held true.
"I'll come and pick you up around 3:00 p.m. so we can go straight over and pick her up."
"Then I will be ready by then so we can quickly head out. Here is the address to my apartment." Satella was jumping in excitement. Subaru was going to come and pick her up at her own apartment. She was excited to be able to have some alone time with her Subaru. It would be the second time that they were together and alone. Though, it would only be a short time as they would be going to pick up his little sister.
"Got it. I'll see you Friday then."
"Yup, see you Friday!" With that their conversation came to an end.
Satella was happy with the outcome. She was worried at first that they would have to postpone their date and she would have to wait longer. However, Subaru said that they could still be together just that it would have to be with his sister. Satella wanted to be alone with her Subaru, but she would have to make an exception.
Subaru was happy that she accepted the postponing of their date. He was really anxious up until she suggested they still could hang out that day. It was going to be a great Friday. There was a lot of stuff they could do. Subaru had a lot of planning to do.
The sun seeped in through the curtains covering the windows to the pitch black room of the black haired boy. Due to the contact of the sun and his eyes, he began to slowly open them.
Getting up from his bed, he walked over to the window next to him and opened the curtains, lighting up the dark room.
It was Friday morning, the day that he and Satella, alongside his sister, would go out and have fun at the arcade. Subaru was very excited to see Satella in person again. It has been around a week since he had last seen her in all her beauty.
Subaru did his morning radio calisthenics before entering the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and gazed at his handsome self in the mirror. Once done with that, he walked outside of his bathroom and made his way to his closet.
Subaru never really wore anything beside his tracksuit. Though that didn't mean that was the only set of clothes he had. Opening his closet, he looked around for the right outfit to wear. Something casual was what he wanted. He was only going to hang out with Satella and Beako so there wasn't any point in trying to go all out.
After a few minutes of just darting his eyes back and forth across the many shirts, pants, and other clothing items he found what he wanted. Taking his newly picked outfit, he placed it on his bed and began to take off his shirt. His upper body was completely exposed. While Subaru could not say he was an athlete, he did take care of himself, the evidence was his toned torso and muscled arms. Grabbing the shirt on his bed, he began to place it over himself.
Completely unaware of the silver-haired girl gazing at him, slightly drooling as she stared at him. Her eyes were filled with passion as her core clenched with heat and desire.
The apartment currently being occupied by Satella was perfect for what she was doing right now. She thanked the gods for granting her this beautiful opportunity. She specifically made sure that her apartment would align with her beloveds, after all. It's best though to not question how she knew where he even lived.
From her balcony, she could perfectly see Subaru through the window in his room. Planning ahead, she bought herself a telescope to observe him a few weeks after moving into this apartment. It was the best investment she had ever made in her life.
Once done changing, Natsuki Subaru walked up to his drawer and opened the top cabinet. Inside were a few pieces of jewelry ranging from fancy watches to gold necklaces. What stood out the most was a small crimson box the size of a fist.
Subaru reached his hand out and took the box into his hand. He stared at it for a few minutes before opening it to reveal one of his most treasured items. Pulling it out and raising it in the air, Subaru smiled. In his hands was a gold necklace shining brighter than any star to ever exist. What held the most sentimental value to him was the small crimson scorpion attached at the bottom.
Placing the necklace on his neck, he looked down at it and admired it. He had a sad smile on his face. Tucking the necklace into his shirt, he walked out of his room and into the living room. He walked up to a full body mirror and looked himself over head to toe. Starting from the bottom, he wore orange and white high top sneakers. Moving further up, he wore plain black jeans alongside a plain orange T-shirt.
After looking himself over in his selected outfit and striking many different strange poses, he walked back into his bedroom. He made it to his computer and checked discord, opening it to see his two best friends playing chess.
"What's Otto doing up this early? Shouldn't he be at work today? I understand Garf being up since he doesn't have class. Wait, what time is it anyways, I didn't even check when I woke up." The time was 11:40 a.m., he still had plenty of time before he had to go. So, he decided to spend the time watching YouTube and exploring Twitch.
After waiting for a few hours, it was time to leave, he walked to his front door and stepped outside of his apartment. Retrieving his key from his pocket, he proceeded to lock the door.
Going down the elevator and out of the main lobby, he walked into the parking lot towards his car. He laughed in his head as he thought about the car his wonderful father bought him.
Subaru's dad bought him this car on the day of his high school graduation. His dad thought it would be funny to buy him it. He didn't really mind though; he liked the car either way since it was a gift from his dad. It was also a brand new car so he wanted to cherish it.
In the parking lot of the apartment was a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. It was sleek and new, being a car that was released just this year. It was a bright orange, the same color Subaru always wore and loved.
"Every time I see this car, I can't help but laugh at my dad's amazing choice." Subaru brought out the keys to the Subaru and opened the door of the Subaru. Getting inside and sitting down at the driver's seat, Subaru looked around fondly at the beautiful inside of the Subaru. The seats of the Subaru were all black but with orange stripes along the sides, matching the iconic colors Subaru always wore.
Subaru pulled out his phone and placed it into the cup holder, the time was 2:00 pm, just an hour before he had to pick up Beako. He started the car and began driving towards Satella's apartment.
Passing all the scenery always amazed the fierce eyed boy of how much progress the world has made in these residential, and urban districts. Just to see the voluminous skyscrapers, reaching towards and clawing at the sky was a simple marvel in human engineering. Subaru liked to sketch in his free time, and had several artist pads, a hobby he hasn't really shown anyone.
"Maybe Satella will be the first one, I wonder if she appreciates art."Thinks the boy to himself as he pulls up in the address shown on his GPS. It didn't take long to arrive at the building.
He reverse parks quite neatly and gets out, as he heads inside the apartment complex with mixed feelings of nervousness yet at the same time filled with immense excitement.
Standing in front of her apartment door, Subaru ponders about the situation. When entering the apartment complex, he was told her apartment number. He was very shocked to discover she lived in the newly constructed apartment complex near his very own. Furthermore, when apartment hunting, he had seen this one being built, and the prices made his face pale.
"She must make a killing on Twitch to afford this place, it was so expensive last time I checked. I really can't wait to see her. This will be a momentous date even if Beako is tagging along. I am sure she will make the situation even livelier. Well, Natsuki Subaru, here goes nothing, let's be a man." Subaru makes up his mind and knocks decisively three times. After waiting for a few seconds, the door opened to reveal a divine being of unfathomable beauty.
The girl wore purple and black flats with long tight black leggings. Higher up a black skirt with purple lines running along the edges could be seen. A blouse with the dominant colors of black with light magenta coloring. On her neck was a gold flower necklace. Her hair was perfectly combed; it seemed as if it was done by the hands of a master hairdresser.
Here Satella looked at her soon to be beloved's reactions and shined a radiant smile at him.
"My it seems I outdid myself with this outfit, I managed to get this amazing man to be stunned by my looks." Thinks the silver haired girl with eyes full of expectation and mirth.
Subaru's jaw dropped as he gazed all over her body, his eyes wandering every part of her. She was just too beautiful. The shell shocked boy thinks to himself:
"Where did this fairy descend from? Heaven or beyond a mystical waterfall? I can't believe how beautiful and elegant she looks, the way I look into her amethyst eyes is like being submerged in a calming pool of lavender. Her divine figure outclassing even the most gorgeous of models, for they are mere mortals in front of this goddess. How did I ever get so lucky to catch her eye?"
It wasn't until Satella spoke that he was brought back to the real world. In a rather abrupt manner that made the boy flush at being caught quite literally gazing at this amazing woman.
"I don't mind you staring at me, but it's a little embarrassing" she said shyly with a tint of pink appearing on her face.
Of course, she would not mind for the man of her dreams, who she spent every waking hour thinking of, to appreciate the work she had put into making herself look presentable to her one and only. She actually would prefer for him to never keep his eyes off her, even if it was embarrassing.
Subaru rubbed his head sheepishly and wore a dumb smile on his face. "Well, I was just so captivated by your beauty that I couldn't help but stare. Sorry for that, can I come in?"
"O-Oh yes, please do come in. We still have a bit of time before we should head out." She said with excitement. Subaru thought her eagerness was directed at the events that were going to happen during the rest of the day. This was true, however, most of the excitement was for the limited alone time they were going to have at this moment.
How this young maiden craved the time to spend with her beloved, it could be hours or minutes but each one she cherished with the full might of her heart. How ecstatic she becomes upon seeing her Subaru, how joyful when they both laugh in harmony.
Furthermore, she has double checked and knows for a fact that there is no one else that is even close to the level of passion she feels for him. Except perhaps a certain blue haired streamer, whether she remains a friend or enemy is yet to be seen. She moves aside to let the black haired boy enter her home.
"Thank you" he said as he stepped into the large apartment Satella resided in. Looking around he could see a large kitchen with many cabinets, drawers, and kitchen appliances and on his left and an even larger living room. The floor was marble and shined with such luster that one's faint reflection could be seen from it.
The living room had three long black couches, one facing the massive flat screen TV and two on the side of it facing each other. A considerable set up, surely meant for when inviting many guests over. Subaru was gazing at the elegant way the furniture complimented her walls, floor, ceiling, and interior design.
"Come and sit down," Satella said while patting the seat on the couch next to her. A hint of pride could be detected in her voice, as she had worked hard to acquire all of this furniture and décor. However, she rarely if ever had any guests over. She is a very solitary person despite her outgoing and cheerful persona.
Subaru walked over to her while gazing at the luxurious apartment. It was one of the fanciest places Subaru has ever been to. It was as if he had stepped into the realm of gods. In the living room, there was a large door in a wall of glass leading to a big balcony.
He sat down next to her still staring in awe at his surroundings just like a small child. Satella couldn't help but let out a small giggle at how adorable he looked.
"What's so funny?" Asked Subaru, still processing the fact he was in this marvelous apartment, alone with such a gorgeous girl.
"It's just that you look so cute when you smile like that." She really liked it when he smiled like that. It reminded her just how adorable he was. Every one of his smiles provided her sustenance to be at her most cheerful state.
Subaru blushed a little and looked away. "Well, I couldn't help it, I've never been in such a beautiful home."
While usually he does not care much about the finances of others, for the first time he became a little nervous at the idea, he pondered whether Satella would care about his own but quickly dismissed the thought as the silver haired girl continued speaking:
"You're right, I'm very lucky to be residing in this lovely apartment." A deep red blush formed on her face as she remembered the events prior to Subaru's arrival. The idea of seeing the person of her desires really made her core tighten and heat up, she had to forcibly repress her emotions, or she may have pounced on the unaware Subaru.
The true meaning of her words was not known to Subaru. He will probably (hopefully) never find out.
As he kept on looking around, he noticed something he had missed before. A big stargazing telescope was positioned outside on the balcony.
Subaru's eyes widened, bright and shining stars could be seen in his pupils. Flashbacks out in the country field with his dad as they stargazed flash through his excited mind.
Satella looked at Subaru and noticed his childish expression. This just made her blush increase and her smile widen, turning up and reaching both ears. She thinks to herself:
"How is my Subaru so adorable? He looks so cute right now I might just pass out. I wonder everyday how lucky I am to have him in my presence at this moment. Kyaaa! I'm so excited to always spend time with my beloved."
"Satella-tan you have a telescope? That's amazing! You think we could check it out really quick? I really love stargazing, and a telescope is something I have always wanted." Subaru said excitedly, vibrating in the seat due to his childlike excitement.
"Ah! U-Um, S-Sure, yeah that's f-fine." Satella was a stuttering mess. She couldn't think correctly whenever she was reminded of what she saw on her balcony prior to Subaru's arrival. Her face would heat up like crazy, so she used a small black and silver fan on the living room dark coffee table to fan herself and cool down.
Subaru quickly stood up like an eager child and began to speed walk towards the grand balcony.
He opened the glass sliding door and stepped onto the balcony. The fresh air greeted him by calm and gently grazing his face. He proceeded to walk over to the telescope and examine it.
"Holy… This thing is gorgeous, now I really want to get one for myself. I should start saving up to buy something like this."
Thought Subaru to himself happily, joyous at the occasion to be able to use such a fine piece of equipment. Though, a little disappointed that it is not night time, so the capabilities of the telescope were drastically reduced.
Subaru was wowed by the quality and size of it. This telescope was massive, as well as the balcony. It was almost the size of himself! The telescope seemed as if it was taken right from NASA.
Subaru looked through the telescope and looked all around, searching for anything he could use to observe through the top quality lenses. However, he stumbled upon something that surprised him.
"Wow! Hey Satella-tan, you can see my apartment complex from here. I think I can even see my own balcony and window from here." As those words left his mouth Satella was instantly by his side.
"W-Wow! W-What a c-coincidence, I t-totally didn't notice i-it there!" She lied as naturally as she breathed. Clearly nervous at almost being caught so easily, this would not be an easy thing to explain if he were ever to find out.
Turning back to look at her, he found a bright red faced Satella trying to avoid direct eye contact with him. Her whole entire head was red, and steam could be seen coming from her ears, like a comical cartoon character.
"Satella are you alright? Your face is really red, are perhaps not feeling well? He said as he walked up to her and placed a hand on her forehead. Subaru was concerned as he kept on explaining:
"Your forehead is a bit warm, maybe you should rest for now. I can go get you some medicine and whip something up for you to eat." The fearsome eyed boy always prided himself in his cooking that could make his neighbors mouth water from the fragrant aroma.
"N-No, I-I'm alright, I just n-need to sit down. Yes, all I need to do is sit down!" She ran back inside and jumped onto the couch. She thought about how Subaru had touched her, she placed a hand on her forehead, trying to recreate the feeling. Something that she would not mind happening again and again.
Satella felt happy inside, she was overflowing with extreme happiness. Her Subaru had touched her and shown worry for her. He even offered to take care of her. She ponders to herself in an excited state:
"Subaru is such a good person; I know I can always count on him. He shows so much care for me and that's just one of the millions of wonderful traits he has." She thought sadly, wanting to become a person like him, but she knew she would never be like him.
Subaru walked over to her, closing the sliding door of the balcony behind him, and sat down next to her. He could see that she obviously wasn't feeling too god, whether it was emotionally or physically.
"I don't want to come across as a pervert or anything but please allow me to at least do this, it is something that I do for my cute sister Beako and it always seems to calm her down."
He pulled her head down and placed it on his lap. This is something he had always wanted from a beautiful girl; however, the tables have turned, and he is the one giving the lap-pillow to said beautiful girl.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you if you aren't feeling well. I will always be here for you after all. You just need to ask me anything and I'll be here."
Softly explained Subaru as calmy gazed at her head resting in his lap. He truly meant every single word and would not hesitate to accomplish them in whatever way possible.
Upon hearing these words Satella's heart was screaming. She couldn't help but let out a few tears. She was so lucky to have met her Subaru that fateful day at the convenience store. A chance of fate, bonds of destiny intertwining between each other.
She knows it isn't right for people to attach themselves to someone so quickly. However, at this moment she really did not care.
Without Subaru she is nothing. She would be just like she was back then. A loner, surrounded by no one but people who didn't even cast a glance towards her. She was always alone, all throughout middle school and high school.
Satella was socially awkward so it was hard to make friends. The boys only looked at her because of her looks, and the girls envied her for her beauty. So no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get people to like her, so she simply gave up trying.
Thinking back to those horrible and lonely days always brought an immense pain to the silver haired girl's heart.
Even now that she is much older and mature it's the same thing. She is simply just an empty and average girl, going on with the rest of her life, not expecting any type of change in her black and white world.
What a meaningless life that is, to just keep on going without a clear goal and directions is something that should be changed, acknowledged, and sought to improve. Satella finding Subaru was her motivation to succeed, and to hopefully be by his side for the rest of their life.
That's why she began to stream on Twitch. Before Subaru, she would have never even batted an eye at the idea. Someone like her who couldn't even make one friend couldn't even imagine the thought of building a fanbase. However, after seeing him interacting with his viewers so easily and so kindly. It gave her determination to become like him, since maybe she would get the chance to meet him if they shared a similar hobby.
Satella's tears began to increase in speed. They fell down onto Subaru pants, leaving a wet spot on them. Subaru didn't mind though; he would let her have this moment.
Subaru recalls the times when he would cry due to his inability to face his own troubles, his fears and insecurities keeping him locked in his room. Without his parents and Beako, he could only imagine him staying locked inside his room for god knows how long.
He can tell there is something going on with this girl he so cherishes, yet he will leave her be as his parents would do to him. Silently watching over her like this is a fascinating sensation after all.
"N-No I'm fine, just l-let me stay l-like this and I'll be f-fine." Subaru could tell from her voice that she wasn't ok. He didn't know why she was feeling this way, but that didn't matter right now. He just needed to calm her down and make her feel comfortable
Subaru began to stroke her hair, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. This only increased the amount of tears falling from the girl's closed eyes. She switched positions and buried her face in his chest, which was getting soaked with tears but the black haired boy did not mind, and he continued whispering the sweetest things to her:
"You are an amazing person, Tella-Tan" She didn't even notice the new nickname she was given.
"Don't worry I am here for you, forever and always if you need me." She was so happy, if anyone would waste their time to listen to her troubles, she'd want it to be him. However, she shouldn't trouble him with her problems, not yet at least.
"Take your time, It's only us in your apartment, we're in a judgement free zone." A judgement free zone… that sounded wonderful. She knew she could trust her Subaru with her problems. However, she didn't want to bother him.
She doesn't deserve him; Subaru was such an amazing person. To put up with someone as useless and annoying as her must be tiring for him.
The negative thoughts however were instantly wiped away as she continued to indulge in the feeling of his hand passing through her hair. The feeling of his hand passing through her hair, massaging her scalp, calmed her down easily.
Satella relaxed into his lap, not falling asleep but enjoying the sensation of his thighs under her head. Satella was the happiest she has ever been up until now. Being so close to her beloved like this made her heart soar. She fell into a quiet and harmonious rhythm with herself and her beloved, neither talking but the peaceful atmosphere needed no words.
She snuggled further into his lap, wanting to feel more of it. She rubbed her cheek continuously on his lap, like a puppy wanting to cuddle its owner.
From Subaru's perspective he could only smile much more then he had before. She looked so peaceful and adorable he didn't want this to end.
Satella wished they could stay together like this forever, but all good things must come to an end.
"Satella, we have to go now. If we didn't start heading now, we are going to be late, and I don't want to leave my cute Beako waiting." She nodded and began to get up from his lap.
She rubbed her eyes with her sleeves and gave her beloved a huge smile.
She gave him a quick hug that turned his face red as an apple, and she whispered in his ear:
"I'm sorry you had to witness that, however thank you for only reaffirming how amazing of a person you are Subaruuu, well let's get going shall we? I really want to meet your cute little sister now. " She said as she backed away from him smiling.
Subaru's heart skipped a beat as his face turned pink. She looked so cute right now, but now wasn't the time to just gaze lovingly at her face. They had somewhere they had to go. It may be traffic time soon and they should make haste.
Checking his phone, he noticed it had been 40 minutes since he arrived at her apartment. They had enough time to make it to Beako's school if they left now.
Subaru got up from his seat and offered his hand to Satella. She gladly took it and was pulled up off the couch. They both walked to the apartment door, holding hands.
Making sure they had everything and were ready, they turned off the lights and locked the door behind them. They both went off to the car, hand in hand, smiling so brightly it would blind anyone who saw them. Both were excited at what the future had in store for these two love birds.
AN: Hey everyone, sorry for taking so long to release this next chapter. No, it wasn't something like exams or life problems that held me back, it was just mainly me being such a slothful bitch. I 100% can not say when the next chapter will be released, but I am totally going to write it.
I want to say thank you to Otey, writer of the SageBaru fic, Discordant Harmony, collab writer of 7 Sisters, and Re:Stalker (sorry if I missed a fic) for helping me write this. He was a great help in completing this chapter and gave me motivation to finish it. So once again, please check out his fics, they are absolutely amazing and enjoyable to read.
This chapter was originally supposed to be longer, but it had to be split in half since I figured this would be a good place to end it. It is 6.5k words after all, the next chapter is going to be the fluff that was meant to be in this chapter. Though the lap-pillow was certainly a wonderful fluff moment. Thank you all for reading and putting up with such a shitty writer like me. Wait for me as I try to (hopefully) release the next chapter much sooner than this one!
