Plant me by our Tree

Chapter 5

Hitoshi’s POV:

    The doctors had warned me this might happen but I didn’t actually believe them. It was six am and I had woken up with a weird feeling in my stomach. Katsuki hadn’t left and he was still sleeping. He was also shirtless which made him look even hotter than before. I tried to distract myself from the churning feeling in my gut by running my fingers in between his abs. It worked for a while but it didn’t get rid of the feeling. I sat up and took some deep breaths, hopping not to wake the cute boy who had stayed with me all night. That didn’t work either and by moving I had woken Katsuki. 

    “You look pale.” he said, rubbing the sleep from his orange eyes. 

I nodded agreeing with him and put my feet on the floor. He sat up and stretched out his arms. His arms flew down and he wrapped them around me. Suddenly I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I placed my hand over my mouth and ran to the bathroom in my room. Katsuki hit the nurse call button and ran after me. I was kneeling by the toilet, puking my guts out when I felt Katsuki’s gentle hand on my back moving slowly. The nurse came in and shoved him out the way. I didn’t want the nurse. I wanted Katsuki’s gentle touch. 

    Once I had cleaned myself up I went back to my bed. Katsuki was still there and I tried to apologize to him but he interrupted. “ No apology needed. I get it. I was there months ago. It’s okay.’ I smiled “SO uh I don’t want this to get awkward after last night. If you want I can leave. And we don’t have to speak ever again.” he tried to smile to show whatever decision I made, he would be okay with it. 

    “No. Please don’t go. I mean unless you want to leave then that’s your choice. I uh oh uh liked laying in bed with you last night.” I knew those words were creepy, saying how we hadn’t known each other for long.

    Something about Katsuki drew me in. This was the feeling that my parents had told me about. The feeling that I would get when I found the right person. The feeling that even if everything went wrong I could still be happy with them. Katsuki gave me that special feeling. He was the one that made it feel as if I was floating. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. Neither of us were saying what we actually felt and the tension in the room grew stronger with every passing second. I was worried he was going to take his things and leave, but he didn't. He left his bag and walked towards the door. My heart dropped in my chest, was he actually going to leave, it seemed like it. 

    “Don’t worry,” he smiled. “I just have to run home to get some clothes. I have a feeling I am going to be here quite a bit.”
