Nightmare

Chapter 10

(Takumi POV)

I sat in the bathroom coughing violently with the stupid fever I had obtained through anxiety. Having the sickly, nauseous, feeling and my whole body shaking from the coughing didn't make anything better. My wings were now visible and I couldn't make them go away. When it subsided I leaned against the counter sill shaking but able to hide my wings. I took deep breaths trying to regulate my breathing before I started to hyperventilate. I took my medicine bottle and read the side effects. Everything I was experiencing was part of them. But I haven't taken them since I was attacked by Tony. I opened the bottle and downed a few before opening the door and seeing Aki stand there. She had some water and a slice of pizza.

"Umm...I know we didn't eat so I ordered some pizza. I probably should have made some soup or something..." She said adverting my gaze.

I knew it, I look horrible. Being albino makes it even worse. Now I look like a freaking sheet with red plastered on the front. Great just great.

"It fine." I coughed out before accepting the water and pizza. She walked over to the kitchen and I sat on the bed drinking some water. I took a few bites of my pizza and didn't eat anymore.

Aki came back over with a small bag.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Well you are sick and I want to make sure you have a fever before giving you anything..." She mumbled.

I smiled, "Don't worry I already took something for it."

She sighed and put the bag down on the bed stand. I crawled under the blanket still shivering. I felt the bed shift and saw that Aki gave her blanket as well.

"Aki, what will you use?" I hoarsely asked.

"I was wondering if I could sleep with...you?" she shyly asked.

This will probably make her have lost of questions but right now I don't care. She can see them if she wants too.

"Yea you can anytime you want." I answered falling asleep feeling my powers fading and couldn't hide my identity much longer.

I felt her crawl into bed and I hugged her for warmth and because I didn't want to lose her. She was the only person I had left besides my father. I hugged her tighter and I could feel her stroking my hair that was probably fading and returning to the original color. I snuggled into her and felt so secure, so safe. I drifted off into my sleep, dreaming of my dear Aki.

"Please don't leave Aki..." I whispered.

She giggled and I herd her answer, "I will never leave Takumi."

I felt so secure with her words and drifted off into sleep. I slept for what seemed liked ages, but like all good things must come to an end. I opened my eyes to see that Aki was not in bed with me. I jumped out of bed still with a fever but I didn't care.

"Aki!" I called.

I heard a crashing sound in the bathroom and headed that way to only find Synder had gotten into the tub. I pulled him out and set him on the ground before running towards the kitchen. I sighed, and Aki had her headphones in so she couldn't hear me. I pulled one out and she looked at me with confusion and what seemed like...horror?

"Aki?" I asked confused myself.

"Hmm?" she asked with a little shaky voice.

"What's wrong? You are usually so happy-" I started remembering what happened last night. "Aki! Wait I can explain!"

"Explain? Explain what! That you have wings?!" She snapped.

I glanced over my shoulder and saw that my wings were out, but why was she so...afraid? She always wanted to see them when we were little...
