The Dirty Nerd - Chapter Twenty

Finally, I was home. For once, I was alone. I sat in my room gazing at a photo of Michio; he looked so happy in this photo. I couldn't help but crack a smile through my tears,

"I miss you, Michio. Please, come back..."

I sighed and turned my phone off. Wishing for him to come back was no use. I never want to move on from him but Ito makes me want to move on. It felt like cheating almost.

As I was about to curl up in a ball, a loud banging noise was heard from downstairs. That had to be Ito. I lazily got out of bed and strolled down the stairs.

As I opened the door, I spoke,

"Ito, I just want to be alone. Please-"

But this wasn't Ito. I began backing away from seeing the person who stood before me,

"No... It can't be.."

This has to be some kind of dream. Michio was standing right before me; his clothes were dirty and torn; his skin was full of cuts and bruises and the gunshot wound, wasn't there anymore,

"... Michio? This... I thought you were.."

"No, Yuuto. I'm alive. It's me."

I couldn't believe it. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was fully awake,

"You're not dreaming, Yuuto. It's me. I'm here."

I covered my mouth and shook my head. This wasn't real. It couldn't be,

"But you were dead. He—He shot you in the back... You bled out.."

Michio sighed and allowed himself inside my house, causing me to step back even more out of fear and confusion,

"I understand this might seem—weird or crazy but... I'm me. Somehow I'm alive. I do remember getting shot but then I suddenly just—woke up in Chyio's basement. His body was infested with flies and ma—"

I immediately raised my hand to stop him from speaking any further,

"Save the details."

Then I began drying my tears and calming down just a bit,

"Is it really you? I'm not going crazy right?"

"Please, trust me. It's your good old bully of a boyfriend. Remember the day we met? Your best friend forced you to talk to me and then from there, we clicked. I know I didn't like you but—I didn't know how to express my feelings."

He shrugged,

"So... Can I go take a shower or are we just gonna stand here staring at each other?"

I wasn't sure what to say. I was stunned. All I could do was stare at him in disbelief but he snapped his fingers in my face, snapping me out of it,

"Uhm.. Yeah. Do whatever you want."

I was dazed by this moment. It still felt like a dream,

"I'll be back in a minute then."

He was about to move in for a kiss but I immediately stopped him,

"Don't. You're—dirty."

"Right. One sec."

He then rushed up the stairs to my bedroom. I took my phone out and immediately dialed Ito's number and in an instant, he picked up,

"Yuuto? What's up?"

"Ito... It's Michio. He's alive."
