GIYUU POV

It was 9:20 at night when I decided to shower, feeling the need to wash away the day's grime. I let the water run over my body, welcoming the soothing flow over my skin. The sensation was almost therapeutic, as if the water was washing away not only the dirt but also the stresses of my daily life. Towel in hand, I stepped out of the shower, wrapping the fabric around my waist, I began to dress for bed.

Vacation? How will I get to know him better if his friends will be there too? We should go just the two of us, so I can get to know him even more. I can say that to Mom, yeah. I'll tell her.

After getting dressed, I walked out of my room and headed down the stairs to the living room, where I found my mom watching TV.

"Mom" I called out, and she turned to look at me and smiled.
"Why, son?" she asked, still wearing a smile on her face.
I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to ask her to cancel our vacation plans.

"Can we not go on vacation? I mean
can we just cancel it? ....Because, Mom, I'm worried that he won't talk to me and only talk to his friends We won't become close... Uh... How about just the two of us? Can we go out, just the two of us, like a... date?"

My mom was just staring at me with a smile on her face that looked forced.

"If it's not possible-"

"That's a great idea!!"
My mom exclaimed as she stood up.

"I'll just let them know, okay?" she said, grabbing her phone.
"What time would you like to go out?" she asked.
"How about 4 pm?" I replied.

First date tommorow? Can we also have our first kiss? Of course, he wouldn't agree, I know he's still mad at me. Should I make it an accident? No, it might make our first kiss forgettable. I shouldn't rush things, I'll do everything I can to make him like me too.

I'll have Sanemi all to myself.

I went back to my room and lay down on my bed, still feeling incredibly happy. I remembered the first time I saw Sanemi, when I accidentally bumped into him while leaving the arcade. When I looked at him, it was as if time had stopped. His long eyelashes, his purple eyes, and his facial scar - I don't know why, but I felt as if I had fallen. I had forgotten what I was supposed to do and continued walking, feeling so silly. It was almost like I'd forgotten I had to go visit my sister's grave.

When I saw him again, I thought my heart would stop once more, because he was the man I was arranged to marry.

I didn't really want to get married, but if it's him, then why not? Although I don't know him very well yet, does it matter? I want him.

I want to dream of him so badly, because that would be my best dream.

My eyelids slowly started to close, until I finally fell asleep.

SANEMI POV

I was on my way to my dad's room, he had asked me to come. It was already 9:40, what could he want now? It's probably something about that damn thing again.

First, I knocked on his door and then entered when he told me to.

I went to stand in front of his desk.

"What is it, Dad?" I asked

"The vacation is canceled."

I thought I could finally feel relieved, but then he continued speaking, and I almost lost my temper.
