~Encounters in the Night~

Ikuto lay on the bed next to me, his arm gently touching my own

I sat up in bed, confused. What was the time? I glanced at the clock. 4:30

What was Ikuto doing in my bed? I tapped on his shoulder lightly and he rolled over on his side, still sleeping.

"Ikuto" I hissed, a strange feeling building up inside me that resembled stress.

It was late at night and this was too much to handle—When did he get into my room?

His eyes fluttered and he yawned softly, looking up at me sleepily.

"Ikuto!" I said again, louder. "What are you doing here?"

His eyes suddenly focused, razor sharp. He glanced around slowly, taking in the situation.

He abruptly sat up and brushed his hair through his hands, muttering something.

His hair covered his eyes as he slowly murmured, "It's time for me to go".

Unthinking, I grabbed his arm to keep him from getting up.

He turned to me for the first time, a smirk adorning his features.

"What's that, Amu? Don't want me to leave?"

I willed my fingers to let go of the fabric of his shirt.

"In your dreams" I mumbled, blushing.

"Why are you in my room?" I tried again.

His face was blank of all emotion, and I knew he was hiding something.

He turned away from me and put his feet on the ground, his face downcast.

"Yes, In my dreams…" he whispered quietly as he got up and opened the screen door to my balcony before a second had passed.

And just like that, he jumped off my railing and disappeared into the night. A black cat back to its home.

I clumsily got up and put on my slippers

I stumbled my way out to the balcony and put my hands on the railing. I searched the dark street for any signs of him and sighed.

Why did I feel this mixture of confusion, longing, and regret?
