Chapter 6 Starlit moments

~His Pov~

Forty-five minutes flew by fast like a never ending downhill stream.. Then again—It is never ending. I went to the back to get changed out of my uniform and into a set of a more casual attire. When I finished changing I walked out of the locker room and glanced towards the table where Y/N sat.

She was writing in her notebook again...

I smiled as I find myself staring at her, her beautiful hair tied up in a messy bun that complimented her.. When I look at her even from a far I somehow am able to smell her perfume—Her perfume was something special.. Kind of like her.

My gaze lands on the jacket that she was wearing a million thoughts flooded my head but they all muttered the same idea—the same belief: It was my jacket... and it suited her so perfectly.

When I walked up behind her I gently pulled her glasses off and failed to suppress a chuckle when she pouted and tried reaching for her glasses

"Not funny, Giyu! Give them back"

"Not happening" I reply playfully before moving to sit at the chair across her. She looked at me with an expression that clearly feigned annoyance before returning back to writing the book even if it was a bit of a struggle.

Eventually after a few minutes I ended up returning it back to her and helped her gather her items.

After that we were on our way to the night market...

—-----------—

When we reached the night market there was a lot of stalls there selling different things such as food or souvenirs. As we walked through the stalls I keep a close eye on Y/N as she walked in front of me looking at each stall there

Honestly speaking, she looked like a little kid while enjoying the sights.. It was like this was her first time seeing the real world outside of the walls that kept her safe—Kept her and her coffee book fantasies safe.

While we walked I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of her while she was unaware of it, eventually after a long time of walking around she looked towards me with the brightest smile and held my hand pulling me to one of the stalls that had drawn her attention.

—-----------—

We spent a whole 2 hours and a half walking around the night market

Mostly it was just sightseeing but from time to time we stopped to buy something or two

Right now I was carrying a small paper bag that had a plushie in it, another paper bag with a few books in it and a plastic bag that had a few different sweets in it

And yes.. this was all Y/N's stuff.

While she was looking at a few keychains that were being sold in one stall I looked around and noticed an empty bench that was a bit on the outer part of the market where there wasn't a crowd.. there was a street lamp next to it and looked like a peaceful spot to rest

"What you looking at?" I flinched when I hear her sudden voice, she followed my eyes and her gaze eventually landed on the same spot I was looking at. She smiled—taking the bags from me before pointing towards that same bench.

"I'll sit down there and wait for you. I've been looking around for a while now, you should take a turn"

She didn't wait for my response, a small sigh escapes my lips as I watched her walk towards the bench and eventually sit down: leaving me to walk around the market and look around.

—-----------—

After half an hour I returned to the bench where Y/N sat with two small boxes in my hand, a small paper bag of food and two bottles of juice and water. I sat beside her and placed the items in between us.

"Here.. I bought food, we should eat before going home"

She hummed in response as she had been lazily brushing her hair. She took the bun I offered to her and we sat in an easy silence while eating the food and basking in the beauty of the night.

Moments later I turned to her and was speechless..

The moonlight complimented her as it's soft silver rays bounced off her pale skin, her eyes twinkled like the sparkling stars owned by the heavens above, and her hair being loose now— flowing freely with the winds that whispered ancient dreams as she looked at the moon.

This moment was perfect.. she... is perfect...

"Hey Y/N, I got you something"

"What is it?"

As I got up and stood behind her, I pulled out one of the boxes and took out a rose gold necklace, its cold metallic chain making a soft sound as  a charm of half the moon dangled on it—Gently looping the chain around her skin, I made sure it was on comfortably before clasping the lock to secure it in its place...

"There, now we match."

~Your Pov~

As the two of you walked home your hands were gently fiddling with the charm of the necklace that rested peacefully on your neck. Your skin gently brushes the cold metal as a smile finds its way on your lips when you think back to the words he said.

He walked beside you while looking at the few buildings that were around. Both of you had agreed to hangout tomorrow since he had that whole day off

—-----------—

Once you finished fixing everything up you went upstairs to get ready for bed. As you lay on the bed scrolling through the media you see a few posts from a few artists you admired and other people who you've long lost contact with

But then there was that post from Giyu that came up...

"Pretty View.."

The picture was from behind the bench you and him were sitting on, it was probably before he sat down with you.

 Your phone gently buzzes when a text notification pulled down from the top of your screen showing a message from Giyu.

"We still up for movies tomorrow at your place right?"

"Yeah, see you around 6 tomorrow"

"I can come over early and help set up."

"No need :>"

After that he didn't reply. He most likely went to sleep already. 

You shuffled around under the covers to look for a comfortable spot yet no matter how long you close your eyes you always flinched out of sleep, no matter how late the night came you weren't able to fall asleep.
