dragons and mermen (bokuaka)

memory?

I'm with bokuto again, like I usually am nowadays. I can't help but feel a strange sense of comfort around him. But that nightmare I had last night... I can't get it out of my head. It felt so real. 

I'm so wrapped up in my thoughts, I don't hear what bokuto is saying until he waves a hand in front of my face snapping out of it. "Hellooooo, Akaashi! You in there?"

"Huh? Oh right! I'm so sorry bokuto- san. I must have spaced out. What were you saying?"

"Well, I was saying how the bunny I tried to catch for dinner last night was a squirmy little fellow, But now I'm curious. You doing okay?" I debate telling him for a minute before I shake my head. 

"I've just got a nightmare stuck in my head. But it felt so real... almost as if it was... a memory?" I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "I'm not sure. It was really specific. And, it was odd."

"What was it?"

"You're going to think I'm crazy."

"No I wont! Tell me, tell me, tell me!" He pleads while bouncing slightly. I sigh and give in.

"Alright. So in the dream, you were shaking me awake while I smelt smoke. You were telling me how we needed to get out, and we ran down some stairs. We were both humans too! I caught a glimpse of a photo that seemed to be a wedding portrait of the both of us, right before I got out. When I looked back, you were trapped by a log that fell right behind me. You were looking for a way out, when another flaming log crushed you. The dream ended as dawn came up and I fell to my knees crying. After that I jolted awake."

"That's weird... Wait did you say a wedding portrait of the two of us?" He asked, his golden eyes wide. I nod, and a hand flies over his mouth. 

"Okay... Umm, I'm really sure that was a memory then... I can't explain it right now, but trust me. That was no dream.'

"But how do you-"

"Just believe me. I don't have it with me right now, but I will tomorrow. I think... I think you'll agree that it was a memory of some sort after you see it." I sigh and nod, before he flew off. 

I guess whatever it is, I'll find out tomorrow.
