I had finally made it to my apartment and ran up the stairs to the second floor where my place resided. I hastily came inside and saw Tom standing outside of my room's doorway. His arms were crossed and he nodded his head to my bedroom. I composed myself and slowly took my shades off. I proceeded in. Miu was standing with her back to me looking out the window. My shirt wasn't doing a great job of covering her.
"Hey. You okay?" I calmly asked. Miu slowly turned and the whites of her eyes were somewhat red. "You look like a mess."
"Oh Shizuo...I'm glad you're back." she had stated as her eyes started to water. She outstretched her arms and fell into me with an embrace.
"We need to lay you down. You've had a rough day." I picked her up and carried her to the bed. I sat upon the bed and layed her down next to me. She had tears streaming down her face while I awkwardly patted her back. She was resting her head on my shoulder. I wasn't exactly good in comforting people. It's never been apart of my life before.
"Hey. Stop those tears. Puffy eyes are not very ladylike." I heard her giggle and I growled. "Shut up!"
I had asked her what was wrong and all she told me was she had a really bad dream. I didn't pursue any further than that. I didn't want her to have to relive whatever it was. She seemed to thank me for this by snuggling up to me. I felt really strange. My personal space was lost.
"You're not to leave again tonight are you?" she asked me through a yawn. I really wanted to say yes but what came out was...
"No. I'll stay by you for the rest of the night."
"That's exactly what my papa used to say to me when I would have bad dreams."
"Oh really?" Before you knew it, I and her just spoke of what memories we did have together. It was a walk down memory lane. The memory I remember most was when she had found out about my super human strength. I was twelve then. I was actually a little scared that I would lose her.
