Next Stop, Brooklyn (A Joji x Reader Fanfic)

ch 8

Days passed since I last heard from Joji. Naturally, life went on. The supposed feeling of loss was something I did not even mourn over, more so, it felt almost freeing, being able to finally let go of words that hypnotized me into believing. The sunlight peaking from my blinds woke me up one weekend in December. Although the morning was slow and cold, I felt light knowing that nothing was boggling my mind any longer. It was easier to accept loneliness now that I actually am solitary, during the short-lived, long-distance relationship with him made kept me thinking that the feeling of loneliness is possible even if you have someone.

I heard a knock on my door, "Y/N... Rei is right here!" My mom said in an elated tone. I sprung up from the bed I was lying on out of panic. 

What the fuck?

I immediately get up from the bed and pulled my hair back to a bun. I smoothened out the wrinkled of my disheveled clothes. At this point, I was palpitating. "Oh.. coming"

I twist the doorknob as the door creaked revealing  Rei and my mom with an excited grin on her face. "Hi, you have a handsome visitor," she said squeezing the boy's shoulders. On his hand was a fresh bouquet of yellow daffodils. 

Before walking away, she said, "Okay, okay I'll leave you, two kids, here, okay?" 

I walked near to my bed as he closed the door from behind him. "Here..." he said handing the flowers, "I'm sorry about--"

 A tight hug cut him off amidst his statement, tears were then streaming down on my face, onto his shoulder. The missed feeling of somebody else's touch made the emotions even higher. 

"Rei, I'm sorry..." I could feel his body tensed, his hand stroked my back consolingly. He lifted me to my bed, my body still clinging onto his, I couldn't let go.

"Hey, hey..." He pulled away, his knees bent just enough so that our faces were leveled.  He lifted my chin delicately, our eyes catenated. "There's nothing to be sorry about." He swept the tears falling down my cheeks, his hand traveled over to the back of my head and he pulled the tie holding my hair up. "It hurts me to see someone as beautiful as you be this sad."

I close my eyes as our lips met, slowly taking steps back. We both fall onto the bed, with lips still connected in love.
