A Chocolate Contract [Murasakibara X OC]

Overheating

Walking around the hallways, Yayoi found herself being drawn into the stairs leading up the rooftop. The place where it all began. She started remembering the intimate moments she shared with Murasakibara, the fleeting touches and the small kisses that gradually turned into something special. Her face flushing to the tips of her ears as she brought the knuckle of her forefinger to touch her lips. Sighing, she leaned on the wall by the stairs for support, feeling her heart beating faster and faster.

Yayoi sighed in a lovesick voice, without further ado, Yayoi pulled out her phone. She stared at her contacts list, more specifically, Murasakibara Atsushi's contact information. Silently, she thanked the gods for giving her the courage to confess and exchanging contact information before she clicked on the call button.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

Click.

"Moshimo—sh..." A groan of annoyance was heard from the other side, Yayoi giggled at the noise.

"How are you feeling, Murasakibara-san?" Yayoi silently praised herself for sounding so calm.

More shuffling noises was heard, Yayoi assumed Murasakibara moved to sit up and look at her caller ID on his phone.

"..."

Yayoi waited patiently.

"Naru-chin? This is not a dream right?"

Biting her cheek to not smile like an idiot, which she failed at, she laughed before sweetly responding: "It's not a dream, Murasakibara-san."

Sighing in relief, Murasakibara groaned in exasperation for being unable to see Yayoi in person. Yayoi thinks the same way as Murasakibara too. Both are deprived of each other just as much as the other is.

A comfortable silence filled their call and Yayoi contemplated if she should say it or not. She sighed in her mind, thinking, what is there to lose from admitting my feelings when I already confessed?

"I miss you," Yayoi whispered but was loud enough to be relayed to Murasakibara on the call, who pretended to not hear her the first time.

Acting innocent, Murasakibara hummed in a questioning voice, "... Hm~?"

Yayoi cuddled her legs into her chest, "I miss you so much, Murasakibara-san." This time she said it more clearly, with a slight whine.

Murasakibara's breath hitched at her voice and the way she spoke his name. The tips of his ear reddened, as he wondered and imagined what kind of face Yayoi is making as she called out his name. He pulled back his hair, drenched in sweat from his cold before contemplating if he should go get dressed to run to see her already.

"Naru-chin~" Murasakibara called out still contemplating. Yayoi hummed in response, not able to get out the words from being tongue tied after her speech of honesty.

"I miss you too~" Murasakibara said in his usual tone and continued, "I also want to see you, touch you and taste you again."

Yayoi bursted into fits of giggles at the last bit, "Taste me? How?"

"You have to teach me how to, Naru-chin~"

Playing along, Yayoi teased him back, "Just a taste is not enough for me, Murasakibara-san. I want you to eat me instead though?"

A moment of silence before Yayoi laughed heartily at the effects of her words, as Murasakibara groaned in frustration.

"Murasakibara-san," Yayoi called out, with a sweet voice, "Get well soon, okay?"

"..."

Blinking at the lack of reponse, Yayoi carefully threaded, "Murasakibara-san?"

"... It's unfair of you, Naru-chin," He whined.

Yayoi had to suppress her voice from squealing at his pleading tone. She sighed, thinking of what she can do besides waiting. She should've stopped him from giving her medicine in that way from the start, knowing she'll be transferring it to him instead.

"I told you it'll transfer," Yayoi chided him, not wanting to end the conversation yet.

"...I'll get well soon." Murasakibara announced, also sharing the same sentiments as Yayoi.

"Mhm~" Yayoi hummed, feeling a little nervous about her next words, "...I'll give you the kiss you wanted as a reward then."

Click.

She escaped to find Arisa, after dealing damages to Murasakibara, who has now fainted again from overheating and his cold combined.
