₊˚⊹ ᰔ

something warm and heavy embraced my entire being, and I felt comfortable  ー more than I ever did in what felt like years. i almost didn't want to get up from bed, even if i was no longer sleepy. i just wanted to lie there and savour the rare bliss and peace i felt.

the sound of heavy and unfamiliar footsteps sounded somewhere not too far from the room i was in and my eyes fluttered open.

for a moment, i didn't know where i was. fear entered my heart as i looked around the unfamilair room. i pushed the blanket off of me to see myself wearing a boy's clothes. i wore a big white hoodie that's sleeves far surpassed my hands, and some dark boxers.

a shiver ran down my spine as i jumped up from the bed, only to feel my legs threaten to give up on me. exhaustion quickly washed over me and i head to lean on the bed for a moment until i was feeling better.

oh yeah... yesterday... my classmate took me to his home when he found me in the street.

i sat on his bed and tried to calm down my furiously beating heart.

i have to leave... i can't overstay my welcome.

slowly, i made my way towards the door that was left slightly ajar and i pushed it open, allowing the light to pour in the dark bedroom. i covered my eyes for a couple of seconds until they got used to it before letting my hand fall by my side.

the sound of muffled chattering caught my attention. it seems to come from the living room.

i let out a shaky sigh, before trudging towards the source and the previously muffled voices became clearer the closer i got to the livingroom. it belonged to 2 males, however i  could still not make out what they were exactly talking about.

i finally reached the living room, and was surprised to see nagi and reo sitting on the couch, conversing.

what is reo doing here..?!

a pang of pain hit me in the head, and i clutched the wall for stabilization. this sudden movement seemed to have caught their attention and they turned their heads to my direction.

"you're finally awake," reo said, and i turned to him with a slight frown. the purple haired boy stared at me, concern written all over his face.

i turned to nagi for an explanation and he shrugged. "sorry, i'm not really good with girls so i called him for help. hope that's okay..."

i shook my head, straightening my posture, "n-no... no. it's ok. thank you so much for what you've done. have my clothes dried up..?"

"you're leaving already?" nagi asked.

 i fiddled with the sleeves to his hoodie and shyly nodded. "i'm really sorry that you found me like that yesterday... i'll be out of your hair forever after this one. you don't need to bother yourself with my family situation." i spoke in a meek voice.

nagi went quiet and turned to his friend for help, who sighed at his friends lack of experience with girls. the purple haired boy stood up and began approaching me, "it's fine. stay here for a little longer. your  clothes aren't yet dry anyways." he said before pointing at the couch. "you should take a seat, you look exhausted. have you eaten?"

i could feel the blood rushing to my face as i shook my head.

"that's fine. you can eat here too. nagi's got lots of food stocked up."

"cause of you..." nagi sighed.

reo smiled. "i'll bring you some cereal. is that fine?"

i nodded shyly before walking to the couch and taking a seat near nagi. when reo disappeared to the kitchen i lowered my head to my knees and began fiddling with the sleeves of nagi's hoodie anxiously. my heartbeat was only speeding up by the second and i felt dread forming in the pits of my stomach.

"so... um....."

i raised my head to meet nagi's gaze.

"reo said-"

"that we should call the cops."

reo walked in the living room, holding a bowl.

i frowned and shook my head, making the purple haired boy tilt his head. he walked up to us and placed the bowl and a spoon on the table in front of me.

"why? you'll be safer that way."

"i love them. i can't imagine putting them through that sort of pain." i mumbled, lowering my head.

"right... okay then." reo hummed.

slowly, i took the bowl and spoon and began eating the cereal reo brought me. it wasn't anything extraordinary, just cereal and milk but i still appreciated it a lot. nagi, despite having 0 experience with girls and not being acquainted with me prior to this incident, still took it upon himself to help me, let me shower, borrow clothes, stay for longer at his house and even eat breakfast. i don't think a stranger has ever been this nice to me before. it almost makes me want to start crying all over again.

it didn't phase me that i was the lone girl with 2 boys in a house not belonging to me because of how comfortable they made me feel. they're really nice. i always thought guys were violent and unpredictable creatures... but these 2 were really proving me wrong.

i'm still a bit afraid from males though... if only it was so easy to get rid of this.

the boys conversed together about whatever topic that i wasn't quite interested in. i could tell that nagi was pretty tense earlier, but it seems that seeing me act normally has made him slightly calmer. i feel bad for freaking him out the way i did yesterday... i can only imagine what he thought happened to me- finding me in the state that he did.

"y/n." reo said, and i turned my attention to him. i had finished my cereal when he called my name.

"nagi told me a little about your situation when you were asleep..." he began, and i felt my stomach churning. i hope my family situation won't spread around school after this.

"i also think you should hang out with us. it'll be easy because we're in the same class and all too. i can pick you up from your home." he smiled, and my heart almost stopped beating at his words. picking me up?!

"hah, show-off." nagi grinned, leaning back against his couch. "don't celebrate just yet, y/n. bachira's gonna bother the hell out of you, you'll regret this i swear."

"that's just you, you lazy bum. you two are polar opposites."

i frowned at nagi's words, and he seemed to catch on.

"don't worry, he's not a bad guy. promise." he quickly added, and i nodded quietly.

"i wonder what your fangirls are gonna think now that we're bringing a girl into our friendgroup," nagi sighed, making reo wave his hand dismissively. "doesn't matter. they wouldn't dare try anything."

i couldn't control my lips from curving upwards into a shy smile and i quickly averted my gaze to the empty bowl in front of me.

"sorry that i don't speak a lot... i promise i listen attentively..." i responded quietly, making reo laugh.

"don't worry, shy girls are just nagi's type."

i felt the blood rush to my face as i lowered my head and fiddled with my sleeves.

"hey!" nagi protested, shooting reo an annoyed look, who only shrugged with a teasing smirk.
