I woke up a few hours later in a rather large room. I gingerly got out of the bed and almost fell over. The world wouldn't stop spinning.
"Ah! Yuki-chan! You shouldn't be out of bed!"
Chouta's voice called from the door as he rushed over. He helped me up and back into the bed.
"Stay here. I'll be right back."
After he left I stared out the window. The sun was setting, 'It's that late already?' I wondered how my parents were gonna react when they got home and realized I still wasn't back. I smiled to myself, they would probably call the police or something, and then there would be a huge mess. Chouta came back a few moments later holding a tray and with about a dozen maids trailing after him telling him that they could do it. Do what I didn't know. Chouta set the tray down in front of me and I peered into the bowl. I quickly shrank back,
"Leek soup?!"
Chouta smiled as he scooped a spoonful and then held it in front of me.
"I'm not eating it."
I huffed. He shook his head and turned away. I let my guard down for a moment, bad mistake.
"Yuck!"
I stuck my tongue out after I swallowed the spoonful.
"You tricked me! Meanie!"
I resorted to childishness. See how sophisticated I can be? In the end I ate all the soup and was forced to stay in bed. Chouta told me that he had called my parents to let them know that I was staying with him for the night and that I had gotten sick. I wonder how? I don't think it has anything to do with me going out in the cold with ought a jacket, do you? I laid down on the bad and stared at the ceiling. My eyes started to drift closed; maybe…just maybe someone did care.
I opened my eyes and sat up quickly, very unnatural for me. I shivered as I looked around the large room bathed in sunlight. Something didn't feel right. I carefully stood up and was happy to find that I could stand with ought the world spinning. I padded over to the door and opened it. There was nobody there. "Hello?" I called out. There was no answer. I started to panic. I picked up the phone and just as I suspected, it was dead. I dropped the phone and ran outside. The world was empty. I was the only one left. I started to cry. I don't know why, I just broke down and cried.
Someone shook my shoulder,
"Yuki-chan! Yuki-chan wake up!"
A dream? That was a dream? Yes, I remember now. A nightmare. That was all. I opened my eyes to see the panicked face of Chouta hovering above me, a bit blurry. I reached out a hand and put it on his cheek
"Real. You're real."
I whispered. And then put my arms around his neck and started crying into his shoulder. He pat my back consolingly. I pulled back a little and looked at his face. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to his. He responded hesitantly. After a moment I pulled back and smiled.
"Oh!"
My expression changed to one of worry,
"I shouldn't have done that…"
I said. Chouta looked at me questioningly before realization hit him,
"Well I guess it's too late to change time now."
He said and pulled me into a tighter hug as we both fell back onto the bed, I laughed softly. Chouta was different. Definitely different.
