EVETTE'S P.O.V.
This is crazy... I really cannot believe that I am doing something so crazy...
With Edward standing on my left and holding my hand like he was holding something so precious, I rolled my eyes to myself and groaned low in my throat.
"Really.." I giggled. "What are we doing?"
Edward looks over to me with a smile on his face, "We are about to escape reality."
I laughed. "By cosplaying anime characters?"
"It is so nobody would ever be able to recognize the two of us," he replied. "Isn't it exciting though? Even if we pass by Before You Exit right now, they won't know it is you."
I just smiled, shaking my head side to side with a little laughter. I really don't know what this guy is thinking but I have decided to go along with it. A lot has happened and I think I need a break from all of it.
"But don't you think what I'm wearing is too much?" I asked.
"What about it?"
"I'm showing too much skin..."
Edward scoffs. "Like I said, no one would ever know that it is you. Won't you forget you're Evette Ashleigh for today, hm? You are Yuno. And I am not Edward but Aru."
I pressed my lipss together, totally unsure and afraid of this but... okay today, I am Yuno.
"Okay but who exactly is Yuno?"
"About that..." Edward whispers, gently letting my hand go as it goes up to the back of his neck. "I'm not so sure either..."
I laughed, so loud that I could feel these people staring right at me but I didn't care.
"It is your idea to cosplay but you don't have any idea who we are!" I exclaimed, followed by another loud laughter.
"It's because you looked so sad earlier and I didn't know what to do to make you happy again!" Edward shots back which made me stop from laughing too much. My eyes had found his but he quickly turned away.
What did he say?
"I couldn't think of anything.." he muttered. "These days.. you have been looking down. I don't remember you looking into anybody's eyes since Toby's girlfriend came. You also have been avoiding your friends.. and I thought, I was not Toby's friend, so you won't push me away like the others."
"Edward.."
I didn't know that he cared for me so much. I barely speak to this guy and it is really surprising for me to know that he cares this much for me. Blinking up my eyes to keep the tears from streaming, I took Edward's hand again and smiles up at him.
"Thank you," I whispered.
Edward's lips broke into a wonderful smile as I felt his hand gripping mine tightly. He bites up his bottom lip then looking up to the front and back to me, "Are you ready, Yuno?"
I giggled. "Yes I am, Aru. Where are we off to?"
"To a place where we could reach for the stars."
Eh?
"Watch me take them all for you," he adds in.
-End of flashback-
I really have no idea that Edward felt that way about me. I never imagined him being in love with me til the day that he confessed his feelings for me.
If I was not in love with Toby, maybe I would have considered Edward. I would have said yes to him. I wouldn't have to cry myself to sleep every night. I wouldn't have to worry and overthink. If I have said yes to Edward... maybe now, I am happy.
