"Herbivore!"

I turned to Hibari and furrowed my brows in confusion.

"What is it?"

He showed me a smile and brought out a bouquet of flowers.

Surprised, I rubbed my eyes just to make sure I'm not dreaming.

"F-for me?" I stuttered, cheeks flushed.

"It might be yours."

Hesitantly, I accepted the flowers. Not quite sure if it's really for me.

"B-but, what's the meaning of this?!"

"It's what you think." he smirked and suddenly kneeled down in front on me.

What I think? Don't tell me that....

...wait!

IS HE GONNA PROPOSE TO ME!!!???

I fiddled my fingers and expected a certain small box held out.

But...

What do I say? Yes or no?

...

I'll just say YES!

"Y-"

"My shoelaces are untied and I might trip, I think being cautious is best."

"..."

He looked at me, curiously as he stood up.

"What?"

...

...

"Y-yourshoelaces are u-untied! Haha! I-I was supposed to say that! Haha! But you already tied it! Haha!"

"..."

I turned my back on him and hid my face in embarrassment.

Don't assume much!!!!

I gnawed on my shirt while sitting in the corner of the room.

"Also..." he began "that bouquet of flowers was sitting at your doorstep, thought that I should give it to you."

...

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

...

"(Y/N)! WAKE UP!"

"WHA-"

Startled, I fell down, face first.

How did I get a dream like that?

"Oh my! Are you okay?" Mother asked and helped me stand up.

"Yeah...I'm fine..." I muttered, rubbing my temples.

She sighed in relief and made me sit on the couch.

"Oh right! Why were you sleeping on the couch?"

...

"Oh! Because Hib-" I quickly covered my mouth and laughed sheepishly, glancing at the bed.

She just looked at me, suspiciously.

"B-because I wanted to know how it felt like sleeping on the couch and it's pretty nice!" I lied.

She narrowed her eyes at me, slowly heading out the room.

"Okay then!" She smiled, her mood taking a complete 360-degree turn. "In the meantime, I'll be buying groceries! Bye!"

"Okay, bye!"

As soon as I heard the door close, I immediately approached my bed.

Wow! So neatly folded!

I touched it and it felt really cold, not even a hint of warmness. My mind flashed back to last night.

I must have really imagined that...

But last night, he seemed so real! I even touched his cheek!

I sighed.

This is making me confused...

I shook my head and put both hands on my cheeks.

He's just an anime character! He's not real!
