The clouds are beautiful... (Muichiro X Reader)

23

It was already 17:00 and we still sat in his kitchen.

...

We talked for a bit until everything became unstimulating again.

...

Neither of us planned on going out early in the morning to walk around the neighbourhood tomorrow.

...

It was simply too bitterly cold outside...

...

We just sat next to each other and held hands, enjoying the silent moment together.

...

"Mui."

"Mm..?"

...

"Do you have a wish or a dream that you want to relish..?"

I broke the silence by asking the most random question ever, hoping that it would help keep the conversation alive and we would continue talking.

...

"A dream..? ... No, I don't have one."

...

"Some people aren't destined to have them." He continued.

...

"All I wanted was to see you again.. That's it."

...

"But now you're here.. so I don't need anything else."

...

"How about you..? Do you have a dream..? A dream that you'd like to relish..?" He questioned me, still staring into nothing.

...

"Yeah. I do have a dream." I replied while fiddling with the empty wooden cup.

"Mind if you tell me what it is..?"

...

"My dream is to spend the rest of my life with you..."

...

The wind whistled around as we sat in the kitchen and continued this dry conversation. Muichiro let out a quiet gasp as reality hit him at full force. He slowly turned his head to me and stared right through me, knowing that I was watching him with the corners of my eyes. 

...

"Really..?"

...

"Would that even be possible..?"

"The only times we would properly see each other is when we would come back home after missions or whenever we would get assigned a certain time for recovery or rest.. But you live with your parents, and our missions vary due to our ranks." He continued.

...

"Don't you care..?" He questioned me and I shook my head.

...

"No. I just want to be with you."

...

"I... I want to be in a relationship, if that makes more sense..." I blurted out

...

"Is that so..." He mumbled out in shock.

...

"I'm not entirely aware of how relationships work but... Okay. ... If that's what you truly want then..." 

...

H-huh... Does that mean that he agreed to be my significant other..? I wanted this to happen for so long..

He wrapped his arms around me and I felt a glimpse of brightness flash into my eyes. A pink blush scattered across my cheeks as I placed my hand on his back, my eyes glistened from happiness.

A feeling that I haven't properly experienced in a long time.

I guess dreams actually come true sometimes...

...

"I'll be close to you." He whispered as he cupped my cheeks and pulled me into a kiss.

It felt so soft but painful at the same time. I'm surprised that this time Muichiro kissed me first, in a more serious way... He held me close as I grasped onto his shoulders without letting so. His lips were so cold yet addictive. They were like a drug that I couldn't live without.

...

"I will never let you go." He whispered into my ear as we pulled away.

...

I took Muichiro's hand in mine, grasping it with my fingers while continuously peering into his eyes. 

His minty gaze was so alluring...

...

"Hm..? My hand is equally as cold as yours." He muttered as he placed his other hand above mine, trying to warm it up.

I could not hold it in anymore. He was too adorable for me, so I abruptly hugged him, pressing myself as close to him as possible. After what he placed his hand on my head and smiled, stroking my hair.

"Am I cold as well..?~" He giggled.

...

"Let's warm up together, then..."

He picked me up and carried me over to the same futon he always slept on. It remained in the same place, right in the center of the living room. He carefully laid me down onto my back and hovered over me, glaring straight into my soul.

There was only one action that I though I could do in this occasion...

Kiss him.

I pulled up to his face and pressed our lips together, holding him by his neck. He grabbed me into his arms and rolled over onto his side. I wrapped my legs around his waist and gently kissed his sweet lips. 

"I've been wanting to kiss you like that for so long..." I whispered.

"Oh.. so I wasn't the only one who had a unexplainable urge to just kiss you the next time I see you..." He muttered as I left a quick smooch on his cheek.

... 

So many hours passed meanwhile Muichiro and I were still awake. Our entire evening consisted of kisses, cuddles or tea sessions, where we would always get emotional at some particular point. We kept repeating all those things until 6 am. All of those hours we spent on comforting each other and enjoying tea. It was worth it.

We fell asleep in an embrace straight away. That feeling of laying next to Muichiro in the same futon was so delightful... But oddly enough even sleeping next to him didn't feel the same as before. The bedsheets were so cold, and they didn't warm up even if I laid under them for a long time... And it still remained dark outside, despite the fact that last time I was here everything brightened from around 4-5 am, and its still so caliginous.

This nostalgic setting was so gloomy... Just like the rest of the village.

...

I'm wondering why everything feels so different...
