Chapter 23

" Sweet Dreams "

"Ku—"

Y/n, dropping her sword, ran towards the male. Her eyes finally lighting up again after such a long time, tears streaming down her face. Relief, sadness, joy, pent up emotions all bursted out and mixed together. All she could think about was to hug the boy in front of her, tightly, never letting him go, like the knot of the rope that wrapped around his neck.

"POTS TI NMAD"

However, this immediately slipped passed her mind when she came into direct contact with Kuro, her one and only beloved friend. She wailed like a mother grieving for her son, yet the happiness behind it is the same as when a mother holds her child for the first time. The tears felt like they were never ending. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and she buried her head into his shoulder.

"I missed you so much! Idiot!! Damn idiot! It was all my fault! I—I love you! So please! Please don't leave me alone again!" Desperation and fear dripped from all her words.

The bewildered ravennette blinked a few times after stumbling down to the ground due to the impact from Y/n's hug. Carefully, he processed everything in his mind, before a gentle smile made it's way onto his face. He brought up his arms and lightly caressed his crying friend's hair while hugging her shaking figure with the other.

"I have a lot of things I want to say but seems like you've got way more than me..So, let's skip school today, 'kay?" His voice like honey, smooth and sweet.

"DETACIXOTNI EB TNOD ESAELP"

Rather than answering, she nodded her head, still not letting go of him.

"As much as I love you and your very rare cuddles, we're on the street. I mean— I don't mind people thinking we're a couple but this probably looks like a scene out of a shojo manga.?" he laughed.

Y/n reluctantly let go and tried wiping away her tears, seeing as it wont stop, Kuro handed her a handkerchief. She wiped her tears away and blowed her nose on the towel.

"I'm sho-shorry, Kuro.." Y/n barely stuttered out, "I ruined your towel.."
         (so-sorry)

Kuro shrugged it off, his emerald green eyes gleaming, "For ruining my sleep schedule by being on my mind 24/7, " he smoothly added in, "My towel is the least of my concern."

A small, genuine smile could be found on Y/n's face. The first sincerely happy one in so long. Her e/c eyes were still pinkish and puffy due to crying but she seemed a bit calm now. The boy pat her head and helped her up from the ground.

"Ah..I guess you weren't really planning on going to school today judging by your clothes?" He sighed, "Your parents really aren't as strict as when you were a kid, huh?"

My parents? Eh? How are they alive? I DONT UNDERSTAND— Since when?

"REVEN"

"My parents..— I'm sorry Kuro I'll need to go see my parents-!"

She sprinted off to the opposite direction and ran through the streets eager to find her house. Kuro just stood there, absolutely confused, shocked, and dumbfounded.
