(A/N) unrelated to the story, but i kinda want to try to work on ddll again. of course, this would be juggling two similar stories, but still, just a thought.
Natsuki POV
When I wake up, I notice I'm in a white room. Looking down, I see my leg being held up by a cloth and covered in casts, and the same is with my arm. I see the door open, and a doctor comes in.
"Hello, Ms... Natsuki, is it?" He asks me, but I don't answer. "Well, it seems that your injuries should recover fine, but you are going to be needing to walk on stilts for a couple of weeks. Your arm should also be alright in, let's say Friday. Once your arm heals, you will be able to leave this place, okay?" I nodded. "Now, someone has been waiting to visit you. Should I let them in?" I hesitate, but give another nod. He steps out. Moments later, Yuri walks in, and immediately runs next to me.
"Natsuki! Thank goodness you are okay! I was so worried! You are okay... right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine... sorry." I say quietly.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?"
"Bringing you into this." I say looking away from her. She gripped my available hand.
"Nat... don't say that. I..." She lets out a deep exhale. "Look at me, Natsuki." I look over, and see her face is a bright red. "I... I really care about you. You are... one of the most important people to me, if not the most... seeing you hurt makes me feel hurt, and when you smile, I feel so much nicer... I know now might not be the best time, but I don't know if I'll ever find this courage again." She squeezes my hand tighter. I grip back. Is this really about to happen??? Oh god, my heart... it's beating so fast... "Natsuki..."
"I love you."
Hearing that made... so many emotions flood me. It's... exactly what I wanted to hear? Yuri just said... she loved me! Me! Not anyone else, no, not some brain dead boy, not someone who might be so much better than I could ever be, she specifically, undeniably, absolutely loves me?! ...maybe I'm just being drugged? What if this is all a hallucination? Well, if this is all a dream... I don't want to wake up!
"N-Natsuki! Y-you're crying? Oh, d-did I do s-something wrong? I-I'm sorry! Please d-don't hate me! I-I'll forget these feelings! Please, just don't leave my life!" I heard Yuri panic. W-wait, she thinks I will reject her? What?!
"Wait, Yuri! I love you, too!" I force out, sitting up slightly, but a slight jolt of pain in my arm made me flinch. God, if it weren't for the casts, I'd tackle her already. Her eyes widened.
"Y-you mean it? R-really?"
"O-of course I do! I just... didn't think you'd ever feel the same... this all feels like some fever dream..." I look to Yuri's direction. She's playing with her hair, but eventually leans over me.
"Then, let me try to prove that this is real."
She held my chin in place, and leaned in a little closer. Oh God, ohhh my God. This is happening? This is really happening??? Right now? She leans down just a bit closer...
And tilts my head. She gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"There. Y-you believe this is real, now?" She gave me a flustered smile.
"... yeah, but... I thought that you were gonna kiss my lips..." I chuckle lightly. Yuri starts playing with her hair again, but is smiling at me.
"Trust me, sweetie, you'll get that later. I just don't think-"
"Call me that again."
"Hm?" Yuri looked confused, but, my god, she just called me that?
"Y-you called me something."

RomanceI am doing a second attempt at this DDLC fanfic. Don't read the first one I did, as it's not necessary to know anything from that one. The name might be changed and the cover art will likely be updated at some point. (it wasnt.)
