Loving People Is Hard... (DISCONTINUED!)

Stupid Nightmares....

(Tenko's POV)

I looked at my phone and read 4:37 pm. I sighed and went back to my dorm.

"I guess she was busy, hopefully we can hang out later"

I left the lobby and went to call an elevator. "I should try to message her one more time..."

...
The Ultimate Mage🪄✨
The Aikido Master: I'm heading back to my dorm now, maybe we can hang out tmrw at the pool??? I promise I won't drop you in the deep end this time-
Delivered
...

I put my phone away and walked into the elevator. "She must've fallen asleep or something, I mean I DID bother her the whole way here-" I laughed to myself sheepishly. "I should get her some snacks when I see her tomorrow! YES! THEN WE CAN HANG OUT ALL DAY TOMORROW!" I smiled and skipped to my hotel door and swung it open.

"WHO GOES THERE!?' Kirumi yelled while putting a ladle against my neck stopping me at the doorway.

"I-IT'S JUST ME TENKO. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME-" I cried. trying to back away. "Oh, I'm so sorry Tenko. Um, would you like some soup?" Kirumi awkwardly smiled while pointing to the kitchen. "Sure! I've never knew how scary a ladle could be-" We both laughed and walked to the kitchen table.

Timeskip to 10 hours later! (1:45 AM)

(Himiko's POV)

"N-NO STAY AWAY!" I jumped up right awake and looked around in the dark. I tried to calm down and reach for my phone. I turned on the flashlight and looked around my room. "It was just a dream..." I got off my bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. As I dried my face, I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. "1:45 AM!? T-that means I missed the hangout with Tenko..." I sighed and put my head down on the sink counter.

CREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

I stood up straight and turned around. "W-what was that!?" I quickly grabbed my phone and turned the light back on. "Maki is that you?..." No answer. I slowly opened the door and went into the kitchen. "H-hello!?"

CRASH

'AHHH W-WHO'S THERE!?" I yelled as I quickly turned around to see a broken glass on the floor.

"Get out before it's too late. Or else." I heard a creepy voice from behind me. "W-WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" I was too scared to move. "For you to leave." I felt something on my shoulder. I screamed and ran out the hotel room. "Huff, huff... W-what was that!?" I felt for my phone but it wasn't there. "OH NO I LEFT IT INSIDE." I started panicking. I tried to open the hotel door but it was locked. "W-what do I do!? It's even darker out here...." I tried to hold back my tears and think about what to do. "I should get a teacher... They'd p-probably think I'm crazy-" I slowly got up and started walking down the hall looking for something. "210, 211, 212...." I kept going and stopped at 216 and knocked on the door.

"Yawn Hello?... It's like 2 am, what is- Himiko?" Tenko opened the door and looked at me shocked. I grabbed her sleeve and mumbled "I-I'm sorry if I woke you up, but can I stay here with you tonight?"'

(Tenko's POV)

"H-huh?.... Like h-here?" I stuttered. "It's fine if I can't I'll just-" "NO! I-I mean, of course you can! W-ell, Kirumi is asleep so we have to be quiet." Himiko's expression quickly turned into a weak smile. I moved out of the way and let her inside, closing the door behind her. "Lets go to my room! Sorry if it's messy I was kinda looking for something earlier-" I awkwardly laughed as we walked to my room. "I-it's fine!" Himiko whispered yelled while grabbing my hand tightly. "I think my heart just skipped a beat-" We walked inside my room and closed the door behind us. "I-is it okay if I turn on a lamp? It's kinda scary in here..." Himiko whimpered. "Of course! Um, is everything okay? You seem a little, jumpy?" I asked as I turned on the lamp while Himiko laid down. "Y-yeah! I just had a bad dream, but it's fine..." Himiko said as she hid under the blanket. "W-WHAT!? ARE YOU OKAY HIMIKO?" I yelled as I quickly ran over to give her a hug. "Yes, I'm fine I just hate the- W-WAIT TENKO WATCH OUT!" Himiko yelled while I tripped over my suitcase I threw across my room earlier. "WAHHHH"

"Ow my head.. Watch where you're going next time, jeez you're so clum-" I heard Himiko say. I slowly got up and said "Sorry, I forgot I threw my suitcase over here, are you oka-" As I got up I realized when I tripped I landed on top of Himiko. "OH. MY. GOSH. HULJHL#IRJFJRO."

(Himiko's POV)

"AAAA I-I'M SO SORRY HIMIKO! I DIDN'T MEAN TOO!" Tenko yelled while looking away. Multiple thoughts rushed inside my head. "T-THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT DREAM." "I-It's fine..." I mumbled while covering my face with my hand. "A-anyway, are you okay!? I'm sorry if I hurt you! A-about those bad dreams, t-the dark probably made it worse, stupid nightmares." Tenko huffed trying to change the conversation. "SHE'S STILL ON TOP OF ME. I CAN'T EVEN MEET HER IN THE EYE." "Y-yeah, but I feel safer n-now that I'm here..." I said trying to not look at Tenko. "Oh... W-WELL THAT'S GOOD!" Tenko awkwardly laughed avoiding contact as well. After what it felt like 50 years, I finally blurted out "U-um, can you get off of me now?..." "OH S-SORRY." Tenko yelled while finally getting off of me and moving to the other side of the bed.

(Tenko's POV)

After about 10 minutes, I finally got the courage and mumbled "Night Himiko, sleep well!" hoping this super awkward tension would end. Then all of a sudden I felt Himiko's arms around me giving me a hug. "N-night... thanks for letting me stay with you...." Himiko mumbled. And soonly after that, she fell asleep. "I feel like my heart is going to come out of my chest..." I could tell my face was as red as a tomato. "I-I should end this before it gets worse, there's no way I'm getting over this crush..." I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow isn't as awkward...
