A Chocolate Contract [Murasakibara X OC]

Foreign Words Exchanged

Honestly, he had no idea why he was this desperate. Why would he waste energy to run to that sweets shop he's been avoiding ever since his ban of sweets? It wasn't the sweets, that he understands well. Was it the fact that Yayoi was the owner's daughter? Will he get the chance to see her after a long time of draught? Just how much is that girl going to throw him in for a loop— is the current thought process of our confused and weakened purple haired giant.

Murasakibara, Atsushi.

Sixteen years old and 208 centimetre tall.

Currently running across the street while still upholding the road laws. Never would he have thought he would run faster than he normally would on his road works for basketball training but here he is.

"Mama— that nii-chan is so fast!"

"Shh... don't look."

"Ehh, but he looks like he's about to cry?"

It took Murasakibara 10 minutes to run to the Angel Sweets Shop, approximately a 40 minutes walk from Yosei Gakuen.

Yayoi's Mother was humming why leaning over the counter, thinking of different ways to mess with the teenager her daughter has taken a like to until the bell chimed from the door opening.

"Welcome to Angel's Sweets Cafe~" she looked at the entrance where her occasional loyal customer of her sweetest confectionery stood while catching his breath. Blinking she smiled in disbelief, "Well aren't you in a hurry, young man?"

"...Hello."

"Pfft..!" Yayoi's Mother bursted out laughing, the first time they meet (not counting when he was a customer) as a boy who she knew that has feelings for her youngest and this is the state he is in. Sighing she threw a face towel at the boy and pushed him upstairs.

"Toilet is on your left, go wash your face and come down when you're ready boy." She ordered, leaving no room for rebuttal. "We'll talk and I'll let you see Yayoi after."

Murasakibara perked up at Yayoi's name and finally found the energy to move. Yayoi Mother shook her head at his reaction, quietly whispering to herself in amusement at how Yayoi takes after her so much.

Meanwhile, Yayoi's state is quite concerning. With furrowed eyebrows that formed creases on her forehead, she gripped on her sheets as she profusely sweated from her dream.

"Yayoi, it seems that that purple giant's teeth has healed now." Arisa in the dream stated as a matter of fact, not paying much attention to Yayoi's shaken eyes.

"Eh? Ah... sou?" Yayoi twiddled with her hands.

The scene changes: Murasakibara and Yayoi face off.

Yayoi walks on the halls and noticed Murasakibara walking side to side with Himuro. She raises her hands as a wave and before she can even finish calling out his name, he was gone.

It happened once, twice, thrice.

Tears fell from her eyes in both her dream, now her nightmare, and in real life.

She wanted to wake up from this nightmare but her eyes weren't opening on command. Until she felt warm hands and cold cloth being patted on her head.

"...Mama?"

She leaned on the cold cloth, before sighing and falling back asleep. Not before noticing the silhouette of the other person in the room, a familiar silhouette to the person who kept avoiding her in her nightmare.

"...Haha..." she weakly laughed, "Hallucination?"

Yayoi's mother slapped the cloth on Yayoi's forehead with most love.
