Am I Dreaming? [ An akitoya fanfic :D ]

Huh..?

Later that night.

I lay wide awake in my bed, still thinking about today at the library. The house was completely quiet, except for Ena talking to her friends over a discord call in the other room. She needed to learn how to quiet down. I'm sure not even our parents can think straight with her yelling at her friends. I picked my phone up, scrolling through mine and Toya's messages. I knew he probably wouldn't respond, but I decided to text him.

                                                                                       Toya <3

"Hey, you awake?" 

To my surprise, he actually responded. 

Toya : "yeah. why?"

"Bro what. Didn't your dad take your phone away?"

Toya : "i snuck it back, duh. he's probably gonna get mad at me for this, but I did it so i could finally contact you." 

"Shouldn't you go put it back now?"

It was another 20-ish minutes before Toya responded.

Toya : "nah, see the thing is.."

"?"

Toya : "i'm running away. i'm going somewhere where my dad can't find me."

Shit. Well, this was certainly unexpected.

"wtf, Toya! Where are you gonna go?"

Toya : "your place. i don't have anywhere else to go, and i know that your dad won't mind."

"Dude, I've never expected you to be like this. Why are you running away? I know your dad's a total douchebag, but c'mon man!" 

Toya : "i'd rather not talk about it.. things like this are really personal."

"Okay, okay. Just.. make sure to bring everything you need. ur coming tonight, right?"

Toya : "yes."

"k. please be careful. i'll see you then."

Toya : "okay, thanks, Akito."

"Of course, man." 

I shut my phone off, speechless. Toya running away from home? Seriously? I tided up my room some, I didn't want my room to look like a disaster infront of Toya. Huh, maybe I can finally tell him how I feel after awhile of him living here. I smiled at the thought. I loved him, I really did. It's just i'm afraid of rejection. What if he rejects me? Will our friendship be awkward? Will he stop talking to me?  "Akito, cut it out! Stop overthinking these things." I told myself. I'd have to tell Toya soon, but obviously not right now.. 

right nows not the perfect time to do it.
