Remember (MikaxYuu)

Chapter 5 ~ A Game

I calmed myself down as we walked home, hand in hand. I gazed at the stars that were starting to show themselves, and tried to push the horrible encounter to the back of my mind. To fling it far into space.

I realised that Yuu was smiling at me, so I stopped and turned and smiled back, causing him to giggle.

He's so sweet.

"What is it Yuu-Chan?" I asked.

"You just look so mystic staring up at the sky like that" he said, smiling again. He put an arm around me, and I moved closer to him, gazing into his beautiful emerald eyes.

"And you, Yuu-Chan, look beautiful" I cooed, and a little red painted his cheeks. I leaned in closer and captured his lips with mine, embracing him for a few seconds before moving back a little. We couldn't really do this here; in the middle of a street late at night. 

Instead I suggested that we head back quickly and go to bed, telling him that I'd hold and snuggle him until he fell asleep. He eagerly nodded, and we made our way swiftly home.

On the way back, we passed by a small flower shop. It was long since closed, but as we did so I saw something out of the corner of my eye, reflected on the glass.

I stopped again and turned a little, my eyes meeting the hooded reflection of death. I quickly turned, but there was no one behind us, and when I looked back, he was gone.

He was following us.

Suddenly I felt eyes all around us, watching our every move. My mind thundered loudly, screaming for us to get home quickly. 

To run. 

RUN!!

"Mika? Is there something wrong?" Yuu asked, worry painting his face and his eyes. 

I turned to him and smiled, though it didn't convince him. "Everything's fine Yuu-Chan, don't worry."

I took his hand tightly in mine, begging for death to stop in my head, and I started walking quickly home. Yuu followed, scared by the sudden change in pace. I needed to keep him safe. 

Anything.

Anything to keep my Yuu-Chan safe.

As the fleeting thought of losing him passed through my mind, my grip on his hand tightened. I wouldn't lose him. I couldn't lose him. I promised to be with him forever, and I would do anything to make it that way.

Despite my worry and increasing fear, we arrived home safely. However as I closed the door, I felt a breeze fly into the room...

~~~

"Mikaaaaaa" Yuu whined from the bedroom as I finished brushing my teeth. "I want to cuddle!!"

I laughed gently. He can be such a little child at times, but that just makes him cuter in my opinion. How I love my Yuu-Chan.

I finished and entered the room, and Yuu lay on the bed, looking upset. Seeing him like this sent a pang through my heart. He might be joking, but seeing him look upset still hurt me more than anything. I don't want my Yuu-Chan to be upset, ever. "What's wrong, Yuu-Chan?" I asked as I climbed into bed, putting my arms around him and intertwining our legs.

"You weren't here to cuddle me..." he pouted, and I hugged him tight.

"Well I am now Yuu-Chan" I smiled, and he did likewise. 

"Good. And you'll hold me all night, right Mika?" he asked.

"Of course I will. I promise I will Yuu-Chan" I responded.
