Ghosts of the past | Amane x reader x Tsukasa (Complete)

Ch.11 The moon

~Y/n pov~

Tsukasa laid his head on my shoulder sleepily.

I chuckled, "Still tired?"

The boy grunted in response, wrapping his arms around me tightly and nuzzling his face into my neck.

I peeked up when I noticed Amane walking through the school gates. He was carrying Nene on his back.

The girl was sleeping. Did he knock her out?

"Hanako.." Kou trailed off upon seeing Nene, "Oi, is she okay?"

"Yeah, she's just tired."

Kou knelt down beside the girl and stared at her in worry.

"Seriously, what happened?"

"Well..." Amane sighed, "Yashiro wanted us to go out into town."

"Did something happen out there?"

Amane smiled, "Nah, Yashiro got knocked out by a bunch of handsome guys who showed up out of nowhere."

"That's a bunch of crap!" Kou yelled, pointing his staff at Amane.

The boy put his hands up in surrender, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding!"

We all whipped around as we heard a rustling noise.

Tsukasa lifted his head up from my shoulder tiredly, looking at the bushes.

There sat Mitsuba in his mystery form.

"Uh...oops." He mumbled nervously.

"Mitsuba...have you been hiding this whole time?" Amane asked.

"This is what you wished for." I told him.

Mitsuba quickly ran off in fear.

Amane sighed before transforming into his mystery form.

Tsukasa and I did the same, standing beside him.

"You..you guys.." Kou let out a strangled gasp, "Hanako, you bastard! You surprised me."

What....? So he didn't realise this whole thing was our doing.

"Y/n, you're here too. I'm so glad. I was so confused." Kou continued, not sparing a glance at Tsukasa, "We had no idea what was going on, but you were here all along. We can finally get out of here."

We both stayed quiet.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Kou asked, confused.

I took a deep breath before yelling, "Why are you acting like this world is such a bad place?!"

Tsukasa frowned at my upset expression and brought me into a tight hug.

"Calm down, N/n." Amane muttered to me, placing his hat gently on my head as he walked past and moved towards Kou.

I sniffled, wrapping my arms around Tsukasa's waist and burying my face in his chest.

The boy continued to shush me, gently cradling me in his arms.

"Have you not realised now?" Amane asked Kou, "This world is removed from reality. We can see stars even on a bright night. Meteors too...whenever we want. Even life and death are free from the confines of this reality."

"That's right.." Tsukasa spoke up, "In this fictional world, Yashiro won't die. Not that I care whether she lives or dies.... However, she's important to Y/n and I don't want Y/n to be sad."

Tsukasa's grip on my tightens.

I look up at him and place a gently kiss on his cheek, "Thank you."

He has a surprised expression for a few seconds before it turns to a happy one.

His smile is sweet and loving.

Amane lifted Nene up, "Let's go."

He directed his words at Tsukasa and I.

Tsukasa lifted me into his arms and went in the direction Amane went in.

~*~

"Am I really dying?"

I froze when I heard those words come out of Nene's mouth.

Amane frowned at the realisation, "I guess you heard, Yashiro."

Nene's facial expression dropped. She must've thought it was all some horrible joke.

I wish it was...

"I'm sorry, Nene." I told her.

She didn't respond.

"Let's go." Amane grabbed my hand tightly in his, pulling me along.

We made it to a room near the end of the hallway.

When we opened the door, a black blur came speeding towards us and into our arms.

"You're here." Tsukasa beamed and then noticed our expression, "Eh...what's wrong?"

I crumbled to the ground, "It's not fair."

Amane flopped down beside me, "Yeah I know."

He brushed his thumb over my knuckles gently in an attempt to comfort me.

"If she truly wants to escape...the least we can do is be there for her while she's still alive."

"I guess you're right.." the boy muttered.

Tsukasa sighed, crawling into my lap.

"It'll be okay." He grinned at me.

"Yeah, thanks." I placed my hand on his head, my fingers getting tangled in his locks.

Tsukasa hummed placing his head against my collar bone.

He hummed a small tune, taking my other hand in his and playing with our fingers.

Amane let his head fall onto my shoulder as he pressed himself into my side.

"We'll be fine..."

The boys nodded in response.

~*~

"This perfectly reflects your emotions.." Mei gestured to the moon and then turn to look directly at Amane, "Isn't that right, Honourable Number Seven?"

Amane smiled, "I don't intend for you to leave this place."

"They're here!" Nene yelled, "Follow the plan."

Kou charged towards me and grabbed me before I could act.

He placed his staff at my neck.

Amane froze.

"Just listen to us." Nene yelled.

"No, you're staying here."

"You'll force us to stay here. What if I exorcise Y/n? Like.. right now?" Kou smirked.

Amane scoffed.

"You wouldn't leave Y/n behind...would you?" Nene asked.

'This is what she wants.' I mouthed to Amane.

He sighed, pulling his hat over his eyes and giving me a small nod.

"Fine then. Get out of here. If you can."

Kou let go off me and cheered.

Amane was beside me immediately, checking my neck for any marks.

I chuckled, "I'm fine. Let's go...to the moon."

The boy grinned, "Yeah."
