I have a phobia of mice, seeing them in reality or even in just a picture makes me anxious. Musophobia is what that phobia is called. I just hate it and don't want to talk about it, it triggers me.
It's slowly getting dark. We're still in the middle of the forest. I stop walking when I get tired and seated under the tree.
"Where are you going?". I asked when Ni-Ki was still walking.
"I don't know". He replied not looking back.
"You might get lost, stop walking and let's go back to the camp". I said while looking at my shoe.
"We haven't walked that far, it's too early to get lost". He said still walking.
"Let's go back!". I shouted but he didn't stop.
"Oh my God! AAAHHH!!". I screamed to the highest level, I fakely groaned in pain looking down at my toes.
I heard a rushed footsteps coming from me.
"What happened to you?!". He quickly searches for what's wrong with my toes.
"I got you!". I looked up with a mischievous smile when I saw him in front of me. I exclaimed and got up fully proud of being an actress.

"L-- uhm... let's go back". I brushed off what just happened and offered my hand to help him to get up.
He smiled while shaking his head and taking my hand. He shakes off the dust on his back, he keeps on grinning.
I started walking away since I'm so embarrassed. I wonder if he felt my heartbeat since I cannot control it anymore! Whenever I'm with him it never goes back to its normal beat.
"You don't-"
*Don't talk". I cut him off. I'm still walking away from him.
"Don't walk to fa-"
"I said don't talk!". I yelled, he automatically stayed quiet.
I need to brush off what happened and make my heart calm. This never happened before, even with my past relationships, I didn't feel it. I don't know what is the meaning of this-
