dragons and mermen (bokuaka)

Lonely

I lay in my bed, looking at the ceiling and sigh. It's been about 5 days, and I'm missing spending time with bokuto-san. I know he needs to rest, but I miss seeing his bright smile. I could look forward to seeing him there, and listen to him talk about the animals he chases, or his new addition to his hoard. It always made me smile, but right now, he's hurt. I'm feeling lonely because I can't see him, despite the fact that I live with hinata, who is similar to him. But at the same time, he's not him. 

I wish I could help take care of him, but if I tried, I'd dry out and die before I even got there. All I can do is wait. I wish I could speed up the days until I can see him again. 'Two more days. You can see him in two more days.' I remind myself with a small smile. I hope I can at least.

I break through the surface of the water and look around happily, only for my frown to drop as bokuto-san isn't there. I guess he's still healing. Or maybe he's just not here yet? I hope that's the case. I decide to wait around a bit before I make any decisions. But I feel my blood run cold as I see a tall man with a stoic face and a gun walk through the forest and smile menacingly. He lifts his hand to reveal he's holding bokuto's decapacitated head. 

I wake up with a scream and a jolt. Breathing heavily as my pulse calms down, I see I'm in my room, like I was earlier. It was just a nightmare. Hinata swims through my doorway. "You good? I heard a scream."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. I had a nightmare is all."

"Do you wanna talk about it."

"Not really. Sorry If I woke you."

"Nah it's fine." He says with a yawn and swimming back to his room. 

I lay back down in my bed, calming myself down. It's just a nightmare. Nothing more.

At least I hope so.
