since our first year

2:34 am

Miyuki tossed and turned in her covers. It had only been three hours since they had called it a night, but sleep seemed to be out of the question for her. She was unsure of whether it was because of her nerves or if it was because of the low hum of Mika's snoring. Miyuki was grateful that Mika had decided to stay over, but the snoring caused her to reconsider.

Restless, she rolled over to check her phone.
"2:34 am"
She internally sighed as she thought about how long the night would be. She was about to turn off her phone to try and sleep again but was stopped by a notification.

The Owl 😌😎: "Hey, you up?"

Miyuki was surprised to see that he was awake as well, but nonetheless, she was grateful for a distraction.

The owl 😌😎: Hey, you up?

Smol Yuki ❤️: Yeah. How'd you know?

The owl 😌😎: Figured. You can't sleep, right? Is Mika snoring?

Smol Yuki ❤️: 🙄

The owl 😌😎: I guess that's a yeah

Miyuki's heart was unsettled, even though they carried on with their usual conversations. She couldn't escape the nagging thoughts in her mind that were inching to be released. Expressing her thoughts could have done her some good but she didn't want to bother him with her feelings at this hour. They were best friends but it felt wrong to burden him with her emotional problems, though he had always told her to.

The owl 😌😎: Miyuki, what's wrong 😒? What's the real reason you can't sleep

Smol Yuki ❤️: I mean, it is almost 3 in the mornin but...ok

The owl 😌😎: You awake tho 🤨

Smol Yuki ❤️: Fine

The owl 😌😎: ☺️

Smol Yuki ❤️: 🙄 I was just thinking about tomorrow. It's our last year ya know. Like, are we gonna have time to see each other, or is it gonna be like last year? I know it shouldn't be a big deal but I really don't want to be away from you like that again. We might end up not having classes together. I know I know, I'm crazy, but I really just don't wanna be separated. 😔

Miyuki unknowingly held her breath waiting for his reply. He was her best friend, so there was no way he would make fun of her for this; he just had a knack for saying things to lighten the mood at times, and that wasn't what she needed at the moment.
