I don't own anything.
Misaki's POV
It's been two days since Nii-chan said that...I'm so worried…
Usagi and I were going shopping. We were both getting tired of eating restaurant food, and I wanted to cook. I sighed as Usagi picked some gummy bears off of the candy aisle.
Well, that's...typical. Ahaha…
It was late, almost 10:00 p.m. We pay for our things. As Usagi and I walk out, I start to wish that we were home already. I stepped into the car. I started to worry as soon as I sat down.
How will Nii-chan's decision affect us? Will it be positively...or negatively?
Usagi noticed that I was looking down, away from him. I looked in the other direction, trying not to meet his gaze.
It hurts.
One tear left my eye, leaving a trail of dried moisture. It shined in the sunlight...glimmered, because of the burning fire in the sky. Usagi kept driving. My tears...won't stop. I never want to let go of the way Usagi makes me feel.
"Misaki."
I didn't answer. I'm just a little bit scared to answer. I let out a soft sob. He already said...he would protect me.
Then why do I still feel so insecure? So...worried?
Another sob left me.
It hurts.
He said more firmly, "Misaki."
But, then...he did something I didn't expect. I heard a sob...from him. He pulled over. I glanced back at him. Usagi reached for my wrist, and held onto it.
"I love you."
I cried harder. The thought of losing the only person I had truly loved terrified me. We were going to get married. Would a few words from Nii-chan shatter that thought?
No.
I decided in that moment that I would never let go, no matter what Nii-chan says. I will fight for this relationship.
That's when Usagi kissed me. The emotions in that kiss were so pure, so innocent, that I had forgotten about everything else for the few seconds it lasted. In that moment, the world could not stop the love that we felt for each other. Usagi pushed some hair out of my face, and kissed me deeper, more intensely. I tentatively reached my hand toward his chest, and felt his heartbeat.
It reminded me...of the first time our feelings merged with each other. Our heartbeats were in sync, and affection was the only thing he had felt.
No...I must have felt it, too. Otherwise...I would have stopped him. I loved him back then...I love him now. I will love him...forever.
I whispered, "I love you, too." between kisses.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed. We had been so lost in each other that the time had flown by. I felt the smallest bit embarrassed thinking about it. That crimson color rose to my face again.
11:00 p.m.
We get home. I put the groceries up, and sit on the bed. Usagi had already fallen asleep. I kiss him once on the forehead, before turning out the lights. Sleep.
9:00 a.m.
I made a breakfast that consisted of sausage, egg rolls, and strawberries. Usagi woke up, and walked over to the table.
The phone rang. I moved to go pick it up, but Usagi beat me to it. However, he put the conversation on speaker phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, it's Takahiro."
"Oh?"
"Yes. I called to see if you and Misaki are free later today."
I nodded.
"Yes, sure, I don't think we have anything planned."
"Okay, then how about we meet at Birch Coffee around 3?"
"Yeah."
"Great! See you."
"Bye."
He hung up.
