"Miku-chan?"
I can hear voices all around me.
"Miku-chaan!"
My eyes refuse to open.
"Let me handle this."
I hear my voice being called one more time before something hot presses against my neck. I screech and stumble backwards. Kaito, Meiko and Gumi are staring blankly at me.
"You fell asleep during class. I was worried, are you okay Miku-chan?"
Gumi is on her knees next to me, pressing her hand against my forehead.
"I'm fine." I shake my head. What happened?
I catch a glimpse of Kaito smiling, his eyes staring right through me.
"You sure?" Meiko looks frantic, it makes me laugh.
"I'm fine. You guys don't need to worry."
Smiling, I walk over to Kaito. He is still smiling, as if an outburst of laughter was going to fall right out of his mouth. Gumi looked slightly jealous, but shook off any feelings of envy.
"Well Meiko and I have got class now. Kaito, look after Miku-chan, okay?"
There was a harsh but subtle tone in her voice as she burned her eyes into my back. I could hear Meiko hurrying her up and slamming the door behind them. As soon as I was sure that they were gone I approached Kaito.
"What the hell happened?"
His smile frustrated me, how could he keep so calm in a situation like this?
"You passed out."
"What-"
"You passed out so I carried you to class to make it look like you fell asleep in here."
He craned his neck so he could be at eye level with me.
"It'd be a bit embarrassing if someone found you all curled up beside the toilets."
I began to fluster.
"Wait, what-"
"Like I said, you passed out."
Kaito was flipping through his math's textbook now, I still couldn't really understand what had happened.
"Why did I? -"
"Pass out?"
He grinned, that deceiving yet captivating grin.
"Probably because you were so faint from our playtime yesterday."
He dropped the textbook and pressed me up against the wall, I could feel myself blushing. Get a hold of yourself Miku!
"Why are you always helping me?"
I stumbled over the words, afraid of his reaction. He lowered his arm, a glum expression washed over his face. It was easier to slip away from his grasp this time.
"Just stop. I don't need to depend on you."
For a second I thought I saw Kaito's eyes widen, but in the matter of seconds it disappeared. Before I knew it the silence was filling my lungs instead of air, I had to get out. I felt a tinge of regret run through me as I left Kaito in the blank classroom, but I was so confused about how I felt. Each time I was with Kaito a warm feeling would spread through me, like something I've never felt before. Tears filled the brims of my eyes, I had no strength to wipe them away.
Did I love Kaito? Or was it just another idiotic moment that was catching on to me?
