Healing Beneath The Moonlight

Chapter II; Memories.

It hit me.

Those dark memories.

It hit me like a truck.

- Memory, 8th of July, 2007.

I'm present here in my own memory. I saw my 5 years old small figure, curled up forming a ball while trying to hold back his tears. I want to figure out but I can't move. So I just stand there.. looking at my past self who was struggling alone in the darkness of my room. And then I felt like I was being shifted.

- Memory, 25th of December, 2014.

It was Christmas. And it's snowing outside my apartment. I was 12 years old this time. But.. I don't see my past self physically. Where was he? I don't know. And my vision got shifted to a dark room. And there I was. Sitting like an orphan. It was dark, and my own family didn't let me have fun outside.

- Memory, 1st of February, 2016.

It was my graduation. I was 14. And I'm on my middle school graduation. I wore the graduation gown along with my friends. But I don't see a smile on my oast self's face.

- Current situation, 16th of October, 2021.

I was at Kunikida-sensei's office. Here I am. 19 years old. And still felt as miserable as fuck. I snapped out of my memories. But I heard nothing. Kunikida-sensei sniffles has calmed down yet again. He then spoke to me after a few minutes of silence. "Kamitani.. is there.. something we can help with your problems?" He said with a calm tone of voice. "U-um... I don't know..." I answered with a small sigh coming after I speak. "Oh goodness... I really want to help you out... Of your miserable spot." He said once again. It's like he can hear my deepest part of me saying that I'm still miserable after all these years. Suddenly he jolted up and raised his glasses (A/N; now this is just Kunikida...) and went out. Leaving me staring at his office's door confused. I decided to stay there so I don't get scolded or something. After a few moments, he came back with a smile on his face. "Kamitani, I've found a way to help you out. Don't worry, it's not something big" he said with a soft voice and holding my hand gently. "Really? I really don't know how to thank you Kunikida-sensei.." I said as I lowered my head. He then patted my head and said, "Don't worry, it's part of my job to make my student feel comfortable with their insecurities and their problems. Feel free to talk to me, Kamitani" and then he smiled. A smile that I've never seen before from Kunikida-sensei. A genuine, happy smile.

- Time skip, lunch, 12:30 PM.

I felt relieved after I spoke with Kunikida-sensei, I'm also happy that scho ol is almost over. I got a pudding from school canteen, they said it's because there's a special dessert for today, so I took my pudding. I went to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze and enjoy the soft milk pudding. I walked up the stairs to the rooftop alone and thinking that I'll be alone at the rooftop, but I was wrong. As soon as I opened the door, revealing the rooftop, I saw Miiko. Of course, I didn't expect her to be here since I rarely saw her walking up to the rooftop.

- Miiko's POV

I was chilling on the rooftop waiting for Ryunosuke-senpai. I called him senpai because he was way more superior than I am and I definitely need to protect him. Aah.. Just thinking about him is making me blush. I came to the rooftop because that's where Ryunosuke-senpai's comfort place. How do I know that? Well.. stalking of course. (A/N; PLEASE DO NOT TO THIS IRL, IT'S CREEPY.) As I was lost in my own thoughts, my thoughts suddenly shattered by the sound of the door leading to the staircase opened. I saw Ryunosuke-senpai closing the door elegantly while his long blonde hair dropped onto his back like a luscious waterfall. He turned around to look for his comfort olace but he locked his eyes onto mine. KYAAA RYUNOSUKE-SENPAI IS LOOKING AT MY WAY!! I calmed myself down and as I went to greet him, he went to the other way, completly acknowledging my presence. "Ryunosuke-senpai!" I called his name and he turned around. His gaze was as cold as the mid winter. "What do you want?" He coldly said. It broke my heart.
