Nocturne of Nightmares

Night 3

I waited for the car to pass before I cross the street.

"I'm not sure I got this right but..."

"Everyone, tomorrow, 10 a.m.! Meet me at the fountain at Stadtbelle Plaza."

Before we all woke up, I believe Ray told all of us to meet up with him today. I take a glance at my watch, saying it is just before 9:30.

"I got here a little too early." I said to myself walking to my destination.

I'm so nervous, I am meeting them in the real world for the first time .

I make my way to the fountain, watching it as the fresh drops of water fall into the basin below as I walk over to the other side of it.

Oh.

I quickly stop in my tracks seeing someone already there, on the bench the person with silver white hair sitting by himself eyes closed.

That person looks just like Subaru.

The earbuds he has in his ears tells me he wants to shut the world out, I lick my lips to moisturize them and muster up the courage to walk over to him.

Okay, its now or never.

I take slow steady steps towards the man, but just as I get close enough to him, he opens his eyes and looks up at me.

Oh!

Looking at him, the resemblances instantly puts a image of Subaru in my mind, his two toned eyes shining brightly in the dark.

But this guy, he doesn't...

He keeps looking at me, confusion written on his face, as I stand there mystified, he tilts his head to the side, furrowing his brows together, getting the sense it may have not been him, I quickly apologize.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were friend of mine, but I must have mistaken you for him." I smile awkwardly, embarrassedly scratching the back of my head. "Sorry for disturbing you sir, please carry on with your business.." I back away a bit, but he just blinks at me.

He gets up and walk towards me, almost offended.

"Do I really look that different to you?"

Recognizing his soft spoken voice I instantly realize I made a mistake.

"S-Subaru?!"

"Sit down." He requested to me nicely, going back to the bench sitting down, patting the spot next to him, urging me to take a seat.

I wonder how long has he been waiting here for. Was he anxious like me and came here early as well?

I walk over and take a seat next to him, I sigh.

"Sorry for acting so weird, I just been super anxious since this morning. I couldn't stay in one place, so I came here early. What about you?"

"I just made an excuse to go out, it feels rather uncomfortable staying at home."

"Oh, do you have problems with your parents?"

He leans back into the bench crossing his legs together.

"No it's nothing like that..."

I guess Subaru doesn't like being home, I wonder if it has anything to do with him not liking his eyes. What must have happened to him to make him to be so self conscious about them?

I look at him, gazing at his blue left eye, that usually is the red one that I have seen.

They're so captivating.
