One day left...

—SAKUTA

My eyes watered as she slept in my arms. I couldn't help it and think how evil the world would be without her. Ichigo was the most special girl I had ever found. She was perfect. Sometimes I would act like a jerk, always making her and me feel bad. I wasn't perfect; I was completely flawed, I didn't understand how she was with me, how she still stood by my side after all this time, and I wanted that time to last forever.

But I was tired of waiting.

I wanted to marry her as soon as possible. I wanted all these years to go by soon because I didn't want to wait any longer, life was already too hard, and the future was the only thing keeping me alive. She was the only thing that made living a bit worth it. I wanted her forever. 

I hugged her tightly, holding her into my arms as she slept like an angel; she was beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at her; her lovely hair laying perfectly over her forehead, her little hands resting over my chest, her legs laying over mine, moving little by little throughout the night, and her lips... her plumped and small lips always looking dry yet it was still beautiful. She was gorgeous. She was all I needed in my life.

I felt her roll into my arms; her bare legs folded a little. 

How was she so hacking?

I simply wished it would last forever. Sleeping next to Ichigo and cuddling the whole night was the best thing ever, and it always made me forget about the rest of the world.

"I love you so much, darling," I whispered before leaving a kiss over her head. My hands held her as if she was as delicate as crystal. Her skin was soft, and her hair was silky.

I started crying. My cheeks turned pink, and I hugged her more tightly. 
     Why was I even crying? 
She was right there beside me. Why was I crying? 

"Sakuta?" I heard her mumble. 
      Oh no, I woke her up.
"Are you crying?" Her voice was comforting, and she barely moved. I shook my head and dried my tears. "I'm not, baby, don't worry." I said, "go back to sleep." She moved her head a little to look into my eyes and said, "I'm not going anywhere," that made me tear up. She was so gentle. Before going back to sleep, she put her tender hand over my cheek and kissed my nose. "I love you more." She whispered and then lulled back into my arms. I let out a sob and laid my chin over her head.
      I didn't want this to end.

Fifteen hours left. (9 am)

I woke up and held nothing more than my bedsheets between my arms, my hair was messy, and my eyes were hurting a little. When I completely woke up, I opened my eyes and saw a small girl standing in front of me. She was wearing a baggy shirt; her thighs were chubby and her hands small. She had inclined a little and was looking into my eyes. 

"Why are you butt-naked?" I asked, making her jolt.
    "I'm not butt-naked!" She grumbled, making me smile. "Why are you still asleep?" She said; I rubbed my eyes and sat down on my bed. Her legs looked shiny, her hair was kind of messy, and her lashes were long. Everything she did was beautiful. She put a strand of hair behind her ear, and while I stretched, I felt her sit over my thighs; I jerked and then widened my eyes. She kept moving side to side, getting comfortable over my thighs. 

"Stupid!" She growled.

 "Who is?" 

"You are." She replied

"Why is that?" I asked as she started drawing circles with her fingers on her legs.
     "Because I say so." I giggled after seeing she had no honest answer. I sighed and wrapped my arms around her body. "I love you," I murmured.
