Eyes like Emeralds {MikaYuu}

Secrets

"Yuu-chan~"

"What Mika?"

"I'm cold~"

"And that's relevant how?"

He giggled for what seemed like the billionth time within this hour before grabbing my hand. I felt the heat rise in my cheeks drastically. How have I not gotten used to this clingy and ill bastard yet?

"Cuddle with me, Yuu-chan~"

Is he really this sick?

"No."

A sigh escaped him before I was pulled into an embrace.

"Too bad."

I grunted, my attempts to escape were of course all in vain, for he had fallen asleep once again. "Why must casters get sick?" Soon enough his grip loosened and I flopped out of bed and onto the floor, landing with an excessive thud. I gave a small grunt before feeling around. I literally lost all sense of direction as I carefully crawled to a door that just happened to be my room's entrance. I carefully walked down the stairs before tripping on the forgotten uneven step, a small crack and a rather unpleasant pain coming from my wrist, arm and ankle. A small yelp escaped as tears brimmed my eyes.

"Dammit." I clicked my tongue before calling out to mother, hoping that she was in range.

"Mom! Can you call Shinya! I think I broke something!" Within less than two seconds flat, I heard footsteps pounding on the wooden floor, the smell of my mother's perfume growing stronger by the second. I felt my mother's soft hands on my cheeks, what I believe were her thumbs wiped away the tears that streamed down my face.

"It's been a while since you've fallen here... I thought you'd be over the wall bumping and stumbling after about five years of experience. I guess not." She joked.

"Don't tell Mika." I said in a rush. Oh how I could tell that my mother was raising her eyebrow questioningly.

I would've added on to the comment if not for the heat that rose to my cheeks. She chuckled before resting her hand on my forehead. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were blushing because of Mika but that's impossible, right?" She said, the sarcasm rather prominent in her tone. I clicked my tongue and bowed my head in embarrassment. "So what?" I said defensively, yet in a barely audible way.

She burst into laughter. "You're just too much my little bat." She patted my head and kissed my forehead. "Shinya's on his way, just bare with the pain a little longer please." I nodded and reached out for her hand in a quite sloppy attempt. Soon enough I gave up and her soft hand grabbed my non-injured one.

"It's ok to ask for help sometimes. Nobody's gonna judge you. Especially Mika. I think he kinda likes you~" She chimed. I smiled as my insides began to feel all mushed up and warm inside, my heart beating uncontrollably. "Yeah right. I don't think he even likes me. I mean, I'm visually impaired, I'm a terrible singer, I'm probably super ugly. I bet you he hates my stupid ey-"

"You know Yuu, you may not see it, but when he looks at you, his eyes light up. He wears this wide smile that you would just not believe. Heck, he might not even realize it himself. Also stop bringing yourself down. If he didn't like you, you'd both still be bonded together. So shut your negative yap and think a bit more of yourself." I laughed at the last part and brought my head to her hand before closing my eyes, not that it made much a difference.

"What becomes of Mika and I anyways?"

My mother took a while before finally sighing, twirling my hair in her fingers as her fingers tapped the floorboards. A nervous tick of hers. "I'm not sure. For some reason I just can't read him. Then again he's a caster."
