Mistakes (Yuri X Male!Reader)

Chapter 5

"Come on, don't you trust me, dear ?" 

Y/N shot up awake as he heard those words. He looked around him rapidly to find himself in his bed. He noticed that he was breathing heavily as sweat started to accumulate on his forehead. 

"It stopped, it stopped." Y/N said as he was calming his breathing. 'I'm not there anymore.' He thought as he checked his phone. He read that it was 7:01. He stood up as it was time to get ready for school.

This time, he chose the milk as he downed it in one go. Then, he rushed at the shower and decided to make it colder than the morning before. His breathing stabilized, but his thought wasn't. 'Why do I still think of that ?' He thought, it was done and over since 4 years after all. He didn't know why he thought about it. Well, he almost knew why, but couldn't hope it to be the case.

Once he got out of the shower, he clothed himself, took his bag and keys, and exited his house. Upon closing the door and putting his key into the keyhole, he could see purple hair in his peripherical vision. 

'Great, just this one time when I wanna be alone.' 

He sighed silently as he looked at her, looking all around her but not at his door. "Hey, Yuri." Y/N said, which made Yuri jump as she looked at the still-perturbed male. "H-Hello Y/N." She greeted him back as she fiddled with her hair. 

"Why did you wait for me ?" He said, although his voice seemed rougher than usual. He cleared his voice and looked at Yuri, waiting for her response. "It's be-because I wanted to a-apologize for yesterday m-morning !" She exclaimed with her stutter cutting some of her words, Y/N couldn't help but to smile a bit upon hearing that. 

He indeed thought Yuri was cute. 

"O-Oh God ... You think I am a c-creep ..." Yuri said, looking at the floor, Y/N posted himself just ahead of Yuri, crouching a bit to look at Yuri's eyes. It was surprising to see that her eyes were a bit watery, but Y/N could only harbor a smile. "I appreciate the thought, thanks Yuri." He said, he wanted to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, but knowing her she might explode in a blushy mess. "Y-You are only s-saying it." Yuri said, hinting that he was lying.

He hated lies.

"I'm saying it because I mean it. So let's go, shall we ?" He said, this time Yuri looked at him, only to see a small smile with half closed eyes that radiated warmth for her. She blushed as she tugged on her right sleeve with her right hand. "Yeah, we shall." Yuri said, smiling timidly as she started to walk with Y/N at the right.

"How much did you wait ?" Y/N said as they were approaching the school. "N-Not a lot, around 5 minutes." Yuri said, still holding on her right sleeve. "You still waited for me, sorry." Y/N apologized as he rubbed his neck. Remembering his 'dream', he could only sigh mentally. Those years couldn't let him alone.

"N-No ! Don't be sorry !" Yuri exclaimed with a bit of resolve in her words as they passed the school gates. Y/N was surprised but smiled nonetheless. "Okay, okay. Still, thanks for showing up." He said as he smiled at her. He wanted to be alone following what happened, but it seemed that Yuri's presence managed to calm him down.

"Y-Y/N ... ?" Yuri asked his name as she stopped right on her tracks, in the middle of the schoolyard. "Yes ?" Y/N answered by a question as he stopped and looked at Yuri. "C-Could we ... N-Nevermind..." She trailed off but abandoned her sentence as she walked towards the interior of the school. Y/N was a bit dumbfounded, but followed her.

"You know, you can talk to me if you have something in mind." Y/N said as he managed to be next to Yuri again. The latter didn't respond as the former just sighed.
