(Old) Spring Rain [BoyXBoy] [Brothers Conflict Fanfic]

Chapter 13: Less fear

Its been a few days since Haruame told Masaomi his past, The two have grown closer since then. Haruame would look for Masaomi when he needed some help with his work or other problems. Masaomi would look for Haruame when he felt like Haruame needed to talk, when he needed to talk and just when he wanted to see him. The two had begun to hang out a lot more than before. Hikaru, even louis, had started to feel jealous of the interactions between the two. 

One day, On an early monday morning, Haruame woke up from another nightmare of the alley. He checked his clock on his nightstand and groaned when he saw it was only 5:00 a.m in the morning. He closed his eyes again but felt a headache forming so he opened his eyes again, black lines covering his forehead. He sat up on his bed, swung his legs over the side of the bed and slipped on his slippers. 

He walked to his closet and opened it up, He grabbed a long sleeve burgundy oversized shirt that went down to his thighs and some baggy pink sweatpants. He walked over to his mirror on his dresser and brushed down his bed hair. Once he was finished with that, He headed to the bathroom and freshened up a bit before heading downstairs. 

He fixed his crooked glasses as he walked out to the hallway, He walked over to the elevator and clicked the down button with a slightly shaking hand. His fear of elevators had gotten slightly better after he talked with Masaomi, Though he still felt quite uncomfortable when he was in it or even looking at an elevator. 

As Haruame was waiting for the elevator to arrive when he felt a tug on his shirt from behind him. He flinched and slowly turned around, slightly shaken up. He turned and saw Wataru behind him, Wataru was slightly swaying to the side and he was rubbing his eyes with one hand as he yawned. 

“ Haru-kun, why . . . are you up . . . .  *yawn* so early? “ Wataru asked as he held onto Haruame’s shirt. He had been woken up by the sound of muffled shouting when he was walking back to Masaomi’s room from the bathroom. He was curious in his half-awake state so he walked over to where he heard the muffled shouting, waited for a while before he saw Haruame come out of his room and head to the bathroom. He wondered why Haruame was awake at this time so he waited till Haruame came out and headed towards the elevator. 

Once he saw Haruame push the elevator’s buttons, He hurried to catch up with him. He was still half-asleep but his curiosity overpowered his sleepiness. He saw the alert on Haruame’s face when he turned around and saw it turn into relief when he saw that It was just Wataru. 

“ Wataru . . .  you scared me . . . . I just had a nightmare and Couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up and was going to head down to the living room. Why are you up here? Your room is on the 3rd floor right? “ Haruame ruffled Wataru’s head with a smile. Wataru yawned again, leaning into Haruame’s touch. 

“ I kept having nightmare’s too so I came down here to sleep with Masatan. I was heading back to his room when I saw you heading towards the elevator. I was just wondering why you were up “ Wataru smiled back, Hugging his stuffed bunny. 

“ I see, Well you should get back to Masaomi’s room. If he wakes up and doesn’t see you, He may freak out a bit, Okay? “ Haruame said as the elevator dinged and opened up, Haruame took a deep breath and entered the elevator. He waved slightly to Wataru, who waved back. Haruame pushed the close button then pushed the 2nd button. He gripped the bar in the elevator tightly and closed his eyes lightly, Waiting for the ride to be over.

He really felt like he was getting better at controlling hid fear, thanks to Masaomi, Louis and Hikaru.
