The disease of lies [Hachiman x Yukino]

Chapter 7 : Wake up

Darkness engulfed my vision, and my hearing was suddenly muddled. I could faintly make out the sound of a terrified girl screaming, but her voice faded quickly, leaving me isolated in a world of complete silence. My thoughts became jumbled and disoriented as I slipped further into unconsciousness.

Where am I?

I can't see anything. The last thing I remember is... Well, there are a lot of things I could tell.

Firstly, the sensation of Yukinoshita's delicate fingers touching the fabric of my shirt. Her eyes, a deep shade of blue, had been focused on the stain and the area just beneath my throat. I don't know if she was doing it on purpose or if she was even aware of her own actions.

Her cheeks were flushed with a deep blush that made her look even more attractive, and the weight of her gaze on me was almost intoxicating. Her breath was slightly labored, and I couldn't help but be drawn in by the rise and fall of her chest.

She was close, too close.

At this moment, I was trying desperately to tell her the truth.I remembered the voice echoing in my head, warning me to tell her the truth before it was too late. I tried to reach out to her, but my body prevented me.

I wanted to tell her that what she was doing was dangerous, and I didn't care if that meant revealing everything about my fragile health.

My heart thumped painfully fast within my chest, but at the same time, I couldn't hide the fact that a deep sense of enjoyment washed over me as we shared such an intimate moment. The way her fingers lingered upon my skin, the intensity in her gaze, it all made my heart race with a mixture of excitement, nervousness, and... desire.

That was until it ruined everything.

"Be careful out there. If anything happens, call me immediately. Got it, Hachiman?" The last sentence I had heard from my mother resurfaced.

I'm sorry, mom. I couldn't call you.

"Also, go buy me some rice for dinner on your way!" That was the last thing I heard from Komachi.

Sorry, Komachi. I couldn't buy rice for you tonight.

"the day will come when you reach a point of no return... And you'll have hurt the people who cared about you..." Hiratsuka-sensei's words came to me.

Did I reach this point of no return?

No, I don't think so. I am still conscious. Though, it's all dark. Maybe, that's what happens when we're dead.

Am I?

No, this wouldn't be enough to get me, right?

Though, we never know.

What had happened that day was unexpected, and my state got so much worse after that. I knew it was a stupid idea to overwork my body just to keep up with Hayama's speed and get information from him for a simple request.

That was really foolish of me.

But what was even more unexpected was her.

"Good afternoon, Hikigaya-kun."

"Will you participate in Isshiki-san's request?"

"You scared me..."

"I apologize too."

"You're doing very well, yet."

"Please stay a little longer..."

"See you around, Hikigaya-kun..."
