The clouds are beautiful... (Muichiro X Reader)

6

5 minutes of pure silence.

...

Not a single word and not a single rustle.

...

Absolute silence.

...

"Sorry, all of this was a mistake." I nervously said, sliding further away from Muichiro.

After about a minute he calmly stood up and grabbed his uniform top, heading towards the exit. My eyes twitched from upset as I spectated him getting dressed and leaving the house, closing the door shut and not letting out a single word. I didn't know where he was going either, he just left me alone in his futon with no explanation at all.

His actions certainly wounded me.

I knew I shouldn't have spitted my confession out so fast.

Why was this his reaction..?

I didn't want to pain myself more by replaying my own words "All of this was a mistake." in my head over and over again, so closed my eyes and just imagined Muichiro next to me as I slowly drifted away into my ragged sleep. I kept waking up every hour and shuffling around the futon, trying to fall asleep again. That happened about four more times until I decided to give myself one last chance before ending this bullshit by going home to get some normal rest, and thankfully I managed to finally drift into sleep, viewing a rather off putting dream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream Pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found myself laying in the same futon at about five in the morning, realising that the setting looked the same, as if I wasn't sleeping at all. As I got out of Muichiro's bed and got dressed back I headed towards the door, but just before I left my ears caught a faint sound of rustling from behind, and I found Muichiro standing in the hallway.

...

No. It wasn't him.

...

It was Yuichiro. His dead brother he told me about earlier.

...

"What the fuck have you forgotten here." He snapped at me with a rather aggressive tone.

"I was staying over for the night with Muichiro. I'm leaving now." I answered him casually as if we've knew eachother.

...

"... Did my brother leave as well?" He questioned me as I quietly nodded.

...

"Wait. Did you sleep in the same bed with him..?" He asked as looked at me with a cold stone face with a tint of disgust.

"... Yeah..? We were just trying to sleep, if you wondered."

...

"Okay but please don't tell me you guys hugged and kissed cause I'll lose myself."

"... No. We didn't do neither of that. He left in the middle of the night."

...

"I know, relax. I'm joking. I noticed how you tensed up and became all red when I said that." He teased me as he made his way over to the kitchen.

...

I opened the door and went outside onto the wooden porch, staring into the early mist that rose up near Muichiro's house.

...

"You're oddly quiet." He stated as he walked over to me holding two cups of fresh mint tea.

"I'm fine. I just don't know why Muichiro left in the middle of the night..." I answered as I got the warm drink in my hands and took a small sip.

"Tsk. Well, he often goes out for a walks, either early in the morning or late at night."

...

"Are you worried about him..? Why does he bother you so much?"

...

I remained silent. I he mustn't know about my feeli-

"Do you like him or something?" He questioned as I choked on my tea for a split second.

"What?? No.. I..."

"I'll take that as a yes. ... Oh would you look at that, you're blushing again." He interrupted as pointed at my reddened face, making me cover it up with my hands.

...

What's up with him randomly teasing and pointing my weaknesses out..? Is this how Yuichiro normally acted like or was it just my dream... This was getting a bit too awkward, I think this was the perfect time for me to leave anyway. I finished my tea in one gulp with the same red face and placed the wooden cup onto the porch handle, swallowing the liquid in one go.

...

"Well... I have to go, thanks for the tea.." I stuttered as I began to walk down the stairs, awkwardly waving to him.

"Bye."

...

"Wait. Before you wake up, just know that Muichiro also likes you back."

...

"Huh..? How do you know..?"

...

"Just trust me."

09:34.

...

"!!-" I gasped as my eyes shot open with cold sweat running down my forehead.

I woke up yet again in Muichiro's house, but this time it was for real. My mind was stuffed with memories of the dream I saw to the point of me getting a headache the moment my eyes opened. This dream felt too real. I didn't have a single clue what I just witnessed. Never in my life would I think that I'll meet Muichiro's brother in my sleep, especially since he told me the story about what happened to him a few years ago.

Talk about creepy...

I knew that I shouldn't stay here any longer so I swiftly crawled out of the futon and grabbed my shirt, pulling my arms through the sleeves and buttoning it back up. I cleaned up the place and stacked the bedding on the floor before exiting his house, and once I stepped outside on the ground the chilly breeze lightly blew across my face, making me take a deep breath and relax. I calmly headed back to my house, wondering where Muichiro could possibly be, luckily my place wasn't so far away, so I really didn't have to hurry so much, but as I returned back I entered the kitchen and made myself a light breakfast and brewed some lukewarm herbal tea. I still felt horrible after what happened at Muichiro's place, I didn't get enough sleep because of those same thoughts running around my head so I hoped that a better rest at home with my grandmother would really help me out today.

Jeez.. what a night.
