Mashiho and I had been asking and answering questions all night from the tea house until now that we're walking in the street.
We grew a little closer to each other as the time passes by.
"Wow, night life here is so wonderful." I smiled as I look around the place. We were like in a night market but the majority is foods but he said we will look for clothes later so I could change.
"Do you want to try something?" he asked.
"Uhh... I never tried dango before. Was it nice?" I asked, full of curiosity in my eyes.
We went to a food stall and he asked the seller for a Dango, I couldn't understand it at all but I find him hot speaking in his native language.
"I should say thank you too." I said before leaving the food stall.
He nodded "Go on"
"Arigato" I smiled and even bowed awkwardly.
"So cute" he mumbled. Oh my god, why is he complimenting me?
"I heard you!" I nudged him playfully.
I'm really enjoying this food trip with him.
We ate a lot of street foods. Takoyaki, dango, candied fruit, squid, name it!
"Oh, is that crepe??" there were lots of people on that food stall. I took his hands and pulled him there.
"I am so full." he pouted. OH MY GOD don't give me that pout. I might die here in an instant.
He's being so hot and all but now he is pouting!
"I'm the one who will eat it." I retorted.
"You won't even finish it and you'll give it to me."
Did I just got exposed?
"Okay" I said without looking at him.
"You're too pretty." I heard him whisper and it made me smile.
"I'll buy you the crepe." he carefully pulled me closer to him.
"Which one do you like the most?" he asked as we were walking under the cherry blossoms.
"You" I giggled.
The two of us halted.
It hasn't been a day since we met, but I felt myself falling deeper for him. My heart skips a beat whenever he looks at me.
Sure this isn't love but there's just this different feeling towards him. I feel happy and I want to spend more time with him because if I don't, I know I will be sad and drown myself to bad habits again.
"Mashiho, I don't want this night to end." I shook my head as I grip on his hands tighter.
"I don't want to let go of your hands and
I..." tears formed in my eyes, I gulped trying to stop it from falling but I couldn't.
"I don't want to die." it's almost a whisper.
Mashiho pulled me into a hug as I broke down and sobbed like a child.
I found myself slowly calming as he was caressing my hair.
Right now I feel like Canada isn't my home. Neither Japan, or whatever country I had been to.
It's him.
His embrace feels so good and warm. He feels like home.
I was arguing with him that I still want to explore here in Osaka but I just can't convince him. He also said there's not much place to go because it's midnight.
