An Arranged Marriage//(GIYUSANE)

Chapter 5||𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌

____________

We've decided. We're going on vacation for 1 week. I'll only have my friend with me, of course, and Genya too. Genya doesn't have any friends because he studies at home, so I'll include him so he can have fun too.

We rarely go out because Dad and Mom are busy, and I don't go out with them anymore.

I'm on my way to my room now, the weight of the upcoming vacation heavy on my mind. I need to start packing, but the thought of the arranged marriage looming after the vacation makes me uneasy. It's a topic I've tried to avoid, but it seems inevitable. Honestly, I can't imagine agreeing to it. Who would want to marry a man when you're also a man?

I'm not gay.

While I was packing, there was a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I called out. "It's Genya" came the reply. "Come in," I said as Genya entered, carrying his bag. He was so quick at packing.

Why did he have so many things with him? "What's all this, Genya? Are you moving out already?" I asked with a hint of laughter. He dragged in four bags, each one bursting at the seams.

"I don't want to run out of clothes too soon" he exclaimed, trying to play it cool, but his bag was already bursting at the seams, as if he had no intention of coming back here.

"Why are you here? We're not leaving until tomorrow," I asked, it was only four in the afternoon, and we're leaving at seven in the morning tomorrow.

"Maybe because you might forget about me and leave me behind," he said with his lips slightly pouted, looking down at his feet.

"What?" I chuckled slightly as I ruffled his hair. "Are you saying you're going to sleep here?"

"Why not? You even move to my room when it's thundering, then you hug me, am I not allowed to sleep here, nemi?"

Wow, he didn't need to mention that. Yes, I'm scared of thunder, I remember a lot of bad things, so I don't know what to do, that's why I went to Genya's room like a child.
When it thunders, I tremble in fear, I can't control it, because the memories of that night come back as if I were there again. Damn, is it my fault? Wait, yes it is my fault.

"Whatever," I just said, because I have nothing else to say.

I continued packing until I was done and noticed Genya sleeping on my bed. It was only 6 pm, so I was sure he'd be awake late at night too.
I couldn't help but smile as I looked at his peaceful face while he slept. he looked like he'd be the one apologizing if I punch him.

I also lay down next to him and closed my eyes to try and sleep.

---------------

White, all white. Where am I? I look behind me and see a girl with long black hair, and she's facing away from me. That's... Kanae, right? I try to approach her, I'm certain it's her.
As I touch her arm and she turns to face me.

Wait...Giyuu?! Suddenly, he pushes me onto the bed- A bed?! How did a bed appear here?! What the fuck is going on?!

He slowly closes the distance between us, clearly intending to kiss me.

"Wait!! wait!! AHHHH!!"

------------------

"AHHHHHH!!"

I scream as loud as I've ever screamed before, wait...a dream? What the fuck kind of dream was that?

"HOLY SHIT!!"

I scream out again, startled. The nightmares I've had every night are already scary enough, so why is my dream like that?!

"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU, NEMI?!"

Genya screams from beside me, reminding me that he's supposed to be sleeping here.

"It's nothing, what time is it?"

I ask, and he glances at me strangely, as if he's scared to approach me, as though I might attack him.

"9:30pm" he replies.

Fuck why did I dream about him.
Goddamn, what a nightmare.
