Missed Calls and Text Messages

I jerked awake at the sound of loud hammering.

"Yo! Miyamura! Walk up, you daisy! Have you forgotten we are going in a convention?"

I rubbed my eyes blearily. I was having such a good dream when some baka is harping outside my room. Making some sort of incomprehensible grunt, I drew myself into a tight ball, burrowed deeper into the bed covers and proceeded to sleep.

The annoying banging sound stopped. Good, I thought briefly.

And the next second, a pair of hands yanked me suddenly.

"Arrghhh!"

My eyes snapped open and I glared back at the perpetrator who dared disturbed me in my slumber.

Toru Ishikawa is holding his stomach sniggering. He must have used the spare key I kept in a secret location.

I threw a pillow at him. "Go away!" I grumbled. Seriously, he was wasted last night. How can he be so chirpy in the morning?

I must have said the last sentence out loud because he replied chuckled good-naturedly and replied.

"It's almost 11:30 in the morning, you idiot. Time to wake up or else all the good stuff will be gone." Toru Ishikawa is a closet otaku and loves collecting figma figures. The anime convention we planned ages ago to attend starts its first day today. Toru has been eyeing at least one of the Gundam die-cast toys that will be sold in the afternoon.

Regardless, I am not in the mood to get up from my bed. "Go away!" I repeated diving again under the covers. I was having such a good dream before he interrupted me. One that involves a lot of cuddling and kissing with a certain person whose light brown eyes kept me awake most nights.

And then it hit me.

My eyes flew open again and I sat up suddenly, causing Toru to jump up in surprise and loose his balance. He skidded on my some discarded clothing on the floor and landed hard on his butt.

He swore out loud.

Crap! I have almost forgotten about last night!

"What the hell?!" Toru complained, rubbing his backside. "you surprised me!"

"Sorry." I mumbled, eyes unfocused on my friend. I just couldn't believe that I kissed Kyoko last night!

At the thought of her name, my heart began to beat at a faster rate. I grabbed my Iphone from my bedside table, eagerly expecting some message from her.

There was none. I forgot to charge the phone's battery.

Disappointed, I let out a groan and frowned.

Ishikawa tut-tutted.

I pushed the bedcovers away from my legs. "Listen," I began, feeling a little sheepish. I wanted to see her again. I needed to see her face. Make sure.. that it all wasn't just a dream. I couldn't even remember much after we kissed. I know I brought her home safe and sound, and made some fuss about her injury. She smiled at me and bid a soft goodnight before disappearing within the dormitory she lived in.

God! I groaned inwardly. I should've at least send her a message or something! But I was excited by our kiss that I forgot all about it and fell asleep.

"Toru.. ummm… do you mind if-" I scratched my chin.

His smile grew smug.

I felt the urge to throw another pillow at his face.

"Aha!" he shouted. "Aha! I knew it!"

"Knew what?" I feigned innocence.

"Something happened last night!" he concluded gleefully.

It took me a few minutes to kick him out of my rented apartment. Promising to meet him later at least, I quickly charged my phone. She might be calling me. And if my phone was dead all this time, she might think I never thought anything about the kiss we shared last night.

Feeling a little panicky, I decided to take a quick shower and go to her place myself even if she might not be there. I am not taking any chances!

I got out from the bathroom cursing. Wiping my skin sloppy, I donned some not so wrinkly slacks, pulled over a grey long sleeve shirt and hastily looped a belt through the waist. My phone began to vibrate with a flood of messages. They were all from Kyoko Hori.

Good Morning, Izumi. I hope you had a good rest. Thanks for taking care of me last night. –KH

My fingers scrolled frantically through the messages.

I was wondering if we could meet today. Do you have any plans? -KH

I chewed the bottom of my lip and opened the next message.

If you have other plans, I would understand. Don't worry. –KH

No, no, no! I checked the missed calls logged into my phone. There were a couple of calls from her. Kyoko was probably wondering why I did not answer back her messages.

I grabbed my wallet, my house keys and phone, before attempting to put my hair into something less like a bird's nest.

Wrenching the door open, I found myself face to face with Kyoko's brown eyes.

"Kyoko!" I jumped back. "H-how-?"

"I'm sorry!" she bit her lower lip, taking a step back, cheeks flushed. 'I shouldn't have come. I thought something happened, and I was worried. Really, I should go-!"

"No!" I grabbed her elbow, pulling her towards me, unable to control myself suddenly seeing her a bit distressed. Her beautiful brown eyes are clouded with worry. I wanted to stare at them for the rest of the afternoon. She was worried about me. "I forgot to charge my phone, I was on my way to see you-!" I answered hurriedly.

The rest of my explanations died down the moment our lips crashed together. My hand cradled her neck as I felt her surge against me, breathless. At least I'm not the only one who is apprehensive.

Her arms locked around my waist.

My brains barely registered her foot kicking the door shut when she entered my apartment, her limbs still entangled with me.

A/N: They are so cute together. Thanks for reading!
