Our Beloved Family (Book 2)

Part 6: Why did I do that!?

Menma POV:

I run home.

What have I done!?

And why did it feel so good!?

No no this can't be!!

I feel my face get hotter and hotter and I know it isn't because of the running.

I stop in my tracks to catch my breath when I hear a voice.

''Menma?''

My eyes widened.

I turned around to see Mitsuki.

I started panicking.

''H-Hello, Mitsuki! W-What are you doing out here so late?'' I ask.

He smiles and walks closer to me.

''I went to your house but you weren't home so I got worried.'' He says.

I scratch the back of my neck.

''Hehe oh okay I was just...uh...having a walk..'' I say. 

I HATE LYING BUT WHAT CAN I DO!!!??

''Oh okay then.'' Mitsuki says and kisses me quickly on the cheek.

''Let me walk you home, you must be exhausted.'' He says and takes my sweaty hand.

''You seem quite...how do I explain it...stressed?'' Mitsuki says.

I sweatdropped.

''O-Of course not. W-Why would I be?'' I ask.

He shrugs and continues walking.

Before I knew it, we were outside the Uchimaki resident.

''Hey, Menmy, you know that you can talk to me about evrything, right?'' 

Not...everything...

''Y-Yes of course!'' I say.

He smiles.

''Well, tell me if something is bothering you.'' He says and kisses me on both my whiskered cheeks and forehead before ninja jumping away.

I let out the breath i didn't know I was holding and walked into the house.

''Where have you been, young man?''

I sweatdropped once again and gulped.

''Mama, heyy, yeah funny story I-''

''I don't want any excuses, you aren't supposed to go out of the house before 7.'' Mama says with an irritated voice.

''I am sorry mama!!''

''You even left Boruto alone! What if something had happened and I didn't wake up!?'' Mama asks.

This was too much for one day.

I feel the tears form in my eyes and then I just collapsed on the floor crying.

''Menma! Hey, are you okay? Menma!'' I hear mama's voice say and I feel arms embracing me.

I was pulled into a hug.

''I'm sorry, Menma, I'm sorry. You must know that it scared me not finding you in your room.'' Mama says and strokes my hair.

I bury my face in mama's chest and cry.

I don't even know why I am crying.

''I'm sorry, mama!'' I say behind cries.

''No, shhhh you probably had your reasons but next time, just wake me up, okay?'' Mama says.

I start to calm down.
