Thank You (Chishiya x Niragi)

--Niragi's pov--

I continued watching the fireworks with Chishiya on my lap asleep. It was starting to get a little colder. I could feel him shivering in my arms. Should probably take him inside now. I gently shook Chishiya awake. I felt bad, but I didn't just wanna take him to my room. He could want to go to his for all I know. "Chishiya? Pssst. Hey. Can you wake up, please?" I asked. He looked up at me and rubbed his eyes. "What-" He groaned groggily. I giggled. "It's getting cold and I don't want you sick. Could we go back in?" I started to get up slowly. Chishiya nodded and started getting up. I took him by the hand and helped him. As he stood back up, he wrapped his arms around me again. "C-cold..." He mumbled as he shivered. I sighed and picked him up. "C'mon, let's go."

I carried him inside before asking him. "Your room or mine?" He hesitated for a moment before finally answering. "Yours..." I nodded. "Alright." I started carrying him up to my room. Once we got there, I sat him on my bed and covered him up with two or three more blankets. Poor thing was shivering so bad. "Niragi?" I heard him call for me. I turned in his direction. "Yes?"  "Can... can we cuddle again? I'm sorry for asking. But, I actually... enjoyed it... I guess." He said. I couldn't help but blush a little. I nodded. "Mhm! I don't mind." I said with a smile plastered on my face. I walked over and laid down next to him. I covered the both of us up again as he scooted over and rested his head on my chest. I held him and played with his hair.

Chishiya let out a long yawn before looking up at me. "You should sleep." I tilted my head. "I'm not tired. I know you are though. So you sleep. I'll sleep when I'm ready. I promise." I told him. He huffed. "Okay... But you better sleep eventually." Chishiya laughed. I laughed a little back and nodded. "Alright. I promise." I began to play with his hair again. He laid his head back down and fell back asleep shortly after. I stayed up for a few hours just playing with his hair and making sure he was okay. I never actually thought I'd get this. Ever. I'm not usually the 'lovey-dovey' type. But I genuinely don't mind this. We're dating after all I know... But still.

I've... been thinking. Niragi and I have been dating for quite some time. Should... Should I tell him about my father? And everything else about my past? I know I shouldn't pressure myself to do so if I'm not ready. Niragi would tell me the same thing. But I don't think it's fair to him that he doesn't know. Even I know about his. So I think I should. I took a deep breath and walked around trying to find him. I couldn't- so I walked up to the roof expecting him to be there. Which he was.

"Niragi...?" I mumbled. He turned around and looked at me. "Hm? Oh hey," He smiled. "Have hardly seen you today?  What've you been up to?" He asked as he planted a kiss on my head.  I looked down. Niragi tilted his head and furrowed his eyebrows. "What- what's wrong?" I looked up at him. "Can I talk to you about something? If that's alright?" He nodded. "Yes of course. You know you always can."

I took him by the hand and walked outside. I left the beach with him and just walked until I didn't feel like doing so anymore. Niragi just followed looking a little confused. Once I felt like I was done walking, I stopped and sat down in a field. And so did he. It was pretty. "Okay... So, I have something I think you should know. I just... haven't been comfortable enough to say it. And I still don't know if I am." I said looking away. "...Chishiya. If you don't want too then... don't? Okay?" Niragi told me. I shook my head. "But it's not fair to you."

"Fair? Love, I don't worry about fairness? I worry about you and to make sure this relationship is the best it could be. If you don't want to tell me... please don't." He reassured me. I wanted to. But, I just didn't know. I looked at him and slowly wrapped my arms around him. I rested my head on his shoulder as I felt his arms wrap around me. I honestly couldn't help but tear up. I haven't told anyone else about this other than Kuina. It- was a huge step for me.

"It... It's about... My dad."
