Fireflies in The Field of Higanbana (Mikey X Reader)

Chapter 22

Stepping closer to her, he could see how she keep taking a step back. While she is feeling all flustered and turning more red with every inch he is closing to her until her feet stumbled almost fall, his hand fast grab hold of her arm, "Why are you running away, y/nchin?". "N-no I-i'm not", he could see how her eyes keep avoiding his, her body stiffened when he pulled her closer. Finding the way her reacting adorable and how she struggled on whether have to pushed him away or not, he couldn't help but wanting to tease her some more.

Keep pulling her closer, his lips curled up into one teasing smile, "Say, y/n-chin.. You said you like-", "MAGIC BEAM!!!!!". His eyes widened when heard that loud familiar voice, but what shocked him the most was the headbutt on his back. The pushed from that sudden hard headbutt from Atsumu sure lead into him end up fall on her and pushed her down with him. While he seems managed to save her head from hitting the floor, their lips end up hit each other pretty hard. "O-ouch.. my head..hurts..",  atsumu grumbled but then his eyes widened when saw how Mikey on top of her, "Ah! Y/n-nee!! Hey!!! GET OFF OF Y/N-NEE!!!! GET OFF !! YOU SQUISHING HER!!!", he start hitting Mikey's back with his small fists. Mikey and her? Seems they both still too shocked to move. "Cumu? What you doin??", Ruri's voice could be heard as Atsumu looked at them while pulling Mikey's coat, trying to move him away, "T-this guy squishing y/n-nee!! H-hurry help me before y/n-nee turned into Yatsuhashi!!".

Hearing that, of course Ruri start to cried out loud while also desperately puling Mikey off her sister, "Nee-chaaaan Neeeeee-chaaaaan huhuhuhuhuhuhu Nii-chan Noooooo!!! Get ooooofffff". One cries from one child of course it spread like wildfire. Those desperate cries sure pulled both Mikey and her back into reality. He then pulled away from her, the sudden move sure made those three fall on their butt, since they're pulling him with all their might. He could feel those three kids pushed him away as they went to her immediately, hugging her desperately while crying, he just sat there while touched his lips with his fingers, 'She..is..soft..everything...soft..and she..smell..nice..'. Drowning in his own little world, it took him awhile to realised the chaos in front of him.

-End of Mikey's POV- 

The only thing that pulled you out from the shock was the cries of those three kids. You didn't even have enough time to react on the small accident that has happened to you and him. A one sweet accident what you claimed, but again seeing how three kids cried out loud clinging for their life on you desperately, you looked at all of them confused and worried, "W-what's wrong? Why all of you cried so hard?? There there it's okay it's okay..". You tried to calmed them down, just when the cries ceasing down, they saw the blood dripped from your bottom lip, again they back crying, "Dun diiiieeeee uuuuwwwwaaaaaa nee-chan dun die huhuhuhuhuhu". "W-what- H-hey no one dying okay! I'm fine I'm fine! This just-", haven't finished your words, Mikey caught you by surprise. He licked the blood from your bottom lip before pulling away. They all gasped seeing what mikey just did to you. You? You froze there like a statue while turning all red.

"Don't eat nee-chan!!!!", Osamu shout at him before he start to lung at mikey. Of course that little hands easily being catch by him as he easily tossed Osamu to the side carefully, made Atsumu gasped, "Samu!!". He glare at Mikey as he also lung at him, sadly he also easily got tossed aside. Seeing that, Ruri gasped as she hold onto you again, "NO!!! MIKEY-NII!!!! NOOOOO!!! DUN TAKE NEE-CHAN!!! DUN EAT NEE-CHAN!! NEE-CHAN NOT TASTY!!!". "Eh?! W-wait, r-ruri.. t-that sounds so wrong-", you panicky trying to calm your sister. Honestly, your head barely could work with everything that is happening. The twins that keep being tossed aside by Mikey, your sister that back crying while begging Mikey to not eating you, ah how you felt like your head about to explode.

It took you almost an hour to calm the situation down. The time everyone just sat on the couch calmly sipping their hot cocoa drink, you leaned your back as you resting on the couch beside your sister, 'I'm..exhausted..why today is so chaotic...'. "You look tired, y/n-chin..", hearing that from him, you sent him a glare, made him flinched a little as he decided to just back sipping his cocoa. Today sure is more draining compare to other days when he is around, both for you mentally and physically. "How's your stomach, samu?", you tried to pull a small kind smile at him. "..it's okay now...", he mumbled as he put down the cup. Apparently they head back home again because it's too cold outside and osamu ended up with stomachache, but then saw how Mikey looks like he is attacking you. That's what atsumu has explained to you. You have to admit, the kid not all wrong and deep inside, you grateful a little to what it end up lead into.

"Can we play outside?", atsumu swing his legs back and forth as you nodded your head. "Just play at the backyard today. You guys can build small snowman too there", hearing that, their face lit up as they hurriedly put their cup away and grabbing their coats together with their boots. Yet then you suddenly saw your little sister hesitating to go, "what's wrong, Ruri?". "What if..what if Ruri go and Mikey-nii eat nee-Chan?", you heard her voice crack and her eyes glistened. While your sister all worried, you could felt your face getting hot, "I promise I won't...". Mikey somehow answered before you. You saw her big eyes only glance at him before back looking at you with slight anxiety, "don't worry, okay? I won't let him.. go and play..". You stroke her head in reassuring way, but then you saw her trotted her way to Mikey. She looked at him, seems still a bit upset with him. "Pinky pwomise!", she offered him her little finger as he sighed and put his cup down, letting his pinky finger entwined with hers. You then can hear the little song from her and you could heard the faint mumbled from him too, "yubi kiri genman! uso tsuitara hari sen bon nomasu..". "...yubi kitta", mikey mumbled as they let go of each other fingers. Seems satisfied with it, you could saw her running outside, back following the twins to play.

Of course the air became awkward after those children left the room. You can't look him in the eyes really. The memories of the accident sure keep repeated in your head. "Just.. if you done drink, just leave the cup in the kitchen.. take your time.. I will go back packing..", unable to stand the silence, you got up from where you sat, planning your escape.  You could feel his hand grab yours, stopping you from leaving, "Where are you going?". "M-my room?", you could heard a small sigh from him, "That's not what I meant. Where are you going that you have to pack your stuffs, y/nchin?".

You tried to pulled your hand away when you feeling your heart keep pounding like crazy with each seconds hearing his voice, "T-that is none of your concern-". "It is. Where are you going?", you bite your lip as you felt quite frustrated, you wonder why you just unable to fight him. You sighed as you keep looking away from him, refusing to looking at him with defeated looks, "My grandma place.. We will go there to spend New Years. My father will be back and meet us there too..". "How long?", for a split second you heard the faint of loneliness and sadness in his tones, that is sure stirring your heart more. "I'm not..sure..probably until Ruri have to go back for her school.. Why?", finally you looked at his way, yet the time you saw him, he was looking away staring at his lap. His hand gave yours a slight squeeze, "do you really have to go?". 'Why he..looks like he is sulking?', shook your head to get that thought out of your mind, you gave him a weak smile, "I'm afraid I should..". "How far is it?", he looked up at you out of blue, made your cheeks back blushed by the sudden locking eyes with him, "u-um I'm not sure. But it takes around 2 hours something with Shinkansen.. My grandma's place is in Kyoto.". Finally managed to pulled your hand away, you took a step back from him, "T-that is why I have to pack now. I have to make sure Ruri will have everything she need for tomorrow journey. You can stay as long as you want here, Mikey. Just close the front door when you leave". You awkwardly smiled at him before hurriedly left him there, not even given him a chances to answer you back or to say something else.

' This is bad. This is really really bad.. what have I done!', you bite your lip hard, 'I'm so sorry, sanzu...'. There's indeed guilt swirling inside of you, yet rather than that, you couldn't help also felt the overwhelming happiness for what has happened today with your crush. 'Oh Buddha..please forgive me for being such a bad person.. forgive me for trying to snatch other people boyfriend..oh god.. this is so sinful... I have to stop but....', you sighed as you went inside your room and locked your door, letting your back slide down and end up sat there. Covered your face with your hands, you sighed heavily, "what do I do...I'm so happy...gosh..I like him so much... I want him to hold me longer..".
