•MAROON• .RIN ITOSHI.

|Chapter Five|

"The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon"

.|†|.

"Y/n! Don't stop! Please!

"Run! Run away, Y/n! For your life! For us!"

My eyes shot open, panting heavily. Sweat dripped from my forehead. My eyes frantically trying to figure out my surroundings.

It was a dream.

Gulping down the lump, I sat, rubbing my face in the brackets of my palm. My body was shivering. The nightmare....

They started again. My panic attacks were getting back as well. I turned to my left and saw Rin sleeping, soundly. I don't want him to wake up. Slowly taking the water bottle, next to my bed, drinking down my throat. I settled myself down again, trying to sleep.

It was just a dream, Y/n. Calm yourself down.

In the middle of the night, I was tossing left to right, trying to sleep. But I wasn't able to. The glimpse of the dream kept on haunting me.

Even though I try to keep myself quiet as much as I want but the chain kept on clacking. It was so hard to keep that low. I exhaled sharply, biting my lip.

"Y/n..?" I heard Rin, talking out of his slumber.

"Shit! I woke him up."

My teeth grinded together in terror. What if he gets mad at me?

"I am sorry, Rin. I didn't mean to wake you up. I was just struggling to sleep." I muttered, turning my back to him. I can't tell him I am scared! About the nightmare, and everything!

It's not going to work with my reputation. I need to protect it with my life!

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to sleep. When I heard him scoff. "You're such a bad liar, aren't you?" He mused, in his sleepy voice, near my ear, wavering my heart.

As his hand moved around my waist turning me closer to him. I skipped a beat. My breathe became shakier, when his nose brushed on my nape. "Don't be scared, doll. I am here." He whispered, planting a kiss on my temple.

He's half asleep. He pulled me closer to his chest, putting my head on. I can feel his warmth as his hand move on my back. I was trembling, under his touch. That's the other reason, I hate him touching me. I can't control my senses.

"Calm down. You're safe, I am here for you." He keeps on talking to me to calm me down and for some reasons, I was actually so comfortable.

His breathing was peaceful. His heartbeat was calm. As if, he was knowing what exactly he was doing. I can feel a fleet of butterflies in my stomach.

He pulls the blanket up, covering me. "Good night, doll." He hushed, with a small smile tugged on his lips, kissing my forehead.

Eventually, I don't even remember when, but I slept, simultaneously.

Next morning, arrived. My eyeslids opened with the soft sunrays knocking on my window. I softly yawned, stretching my limbs, when my hand hit something?

...

Something soft?

I turned to see it and saw Rin, looking at me, with a smile on his lips. I baffled, sitting up, seeing my head laying on his arm, "S-sorry. I was asleep. I didn't mean to." I scooted, away from him, looking down at my lap.

I heard him chuckle. But I didn't dare to look up. Until his index finger, touched my chin, lifting my face.

My eyes met with his blue orbs. He looked so effortlessly pretty, even in early morning. His eyes were so captivating that I wasn't able to resist not to look in them.
