"Whoa buddy you look terrible!" The group gathers around Akira who looks like he hasn't slept in weeks.
"Ryuji!" Ann pushes Ryuji away from Akira then brings her face closer to his. "He's right though, you look like you're going to pass out any minute. Were you up all week studying?""I encourage studying and all, but you shouldn't study all night long. I applaud your enthusiasm though." Crossing her arms, Makoto leans against the wall and gives Akira a proud smile.
"That's not it at all. I make sure he goes to bed on time everyday." Morgana chimes in. "This guy's been having trouble sleeping ever since..."Morgana passes you a quick glance, but is cut off by Haru. "If you'd like I can get you a great herbal tea that will help you sleep."
"No way! All he needs to do is stay up all night playing video games until he conks out!" Futaba yells.
"Or perhaps he can make me a cup of coffee, before bed." Yusuke states."Uh, wouldn't playing games keep him up all night? And how would making you a cup of coffee suppose to help him go to sleep!?" Ryuji yells at the two.
"Well if he beats it he can go to bed happy. I do it all the time." Futaba whined.
"It might not help his sleeping problem, but at least his dear friend won't go parched all night." Yusuke sighs.While everyone argues you take the chance to sit next to Akira who was nodding off. You place your hand on his to get his attention. "Akira..." You give him a worried expression and he turns his face away from you. Your heart throbs with sadness at his action.
"I'm fine, honest." Akira finally speaks, getting everyone's attention. "I'll make sure to get plenty of sleep today."
"That's good. We can't have our leader falling asleep on us in the middle of a heist now can we!?" Ryuji slaps Akira's back. "If there's anything you need just ask us pal."
Everyone nods their heads in agreement and turn to leave the roof. Before you can exit Akira grabs your hand and pulls you close to him."Wha?! A-Akira what is it?" You squeak, feeling your face getting heated. Bringing his face closer to your ear Akira whispers "Come by the cafe at night." You wear a dumbstruck look on your red face as he walks past you looking as cool as ever.
Your head was filled with thoughts of Akira for the rest of the day.
'Why does he need to see me at night?'
'He doesn't know I like him right?'
'Did I do something?'
'What about sleeping?!'
'Is he going to kick me out of the phantom thieves?'You had been pacing around your room thinking till finally something hit you. Akira had been acting strange ever since you joined the phantom thieves. He hardly looks you in the eyes when you talk, and he always looks bothered whenever you were around. Could he have been losing sleep because of you? Did he have you so much that it kept him up at night? You remember the conversation everyone had earlier and recall Morgana glancing over to you before getting interrupted. Maybe it really was your fault.
"Does Akira r-really hate me so much?"
The thought alone was like a heavy blow to your heart, but soon you were going to have to hear it from his own mouth. You held back tears as you sat on your bed, looking out the window. Suddenly your alarm went off signaling that it was time to meet with Akira. Rubbing your eyes you slowly get up and head for the train station.
By the time you got to La blanch you had convinced yourself that Akira had hated you. Akira had meet you outside and brought you into his room. You stayed silent as you sat on his bed. Akira stayed silent as well as he sat next to you, but that was normal for him. You thought about all the things you could say to him as you sat in silence. Finally finding the right words you spoke up.
"Akira I...!?"
Before you could get your word out Akira had laid his head on your lap. Your face grew hotter as you stared at the messy haired boy.
"WHA...WHA...WHAT ARE YOU DOING AKIRA!?" You panicked
"I knew it." Akira said calmly as he sat up to look at you. "I've been having trouble sleeping because of you (F/n)."His words hit you hard.
'I knew it! He's going to kick me out... He hated me for sure!'
Tears were about to fall from your eyes when suddenly two arms were wrapped around you."I love you (F/n)."
"Huh?" Was all you huffed out.
"Ever since you joined the phantom thieves... No, ever since I first met you, I've been in love with you. I can't sleep because I think about you all night!"His confession caught you by surprise. You had convinced yourself that he hated you, but here he was telling you the complete opposite. It was like a dream come true!
Akira had pulled you out of your thoughts when he tugged you closer to him and placed his forehead on yours, looking you in your eyes."Your too beautiful. I always get nervous when your around." You can see a dust of pink on Akira's cheeks as he speaks.
"Please. Will you be mine (F/n)?"You couldn't contain your excitement as you wrapped your arms around Akira's neck. "Of course! You've stolen my heart long ago Akira!"
You both stare into each other's eyes till he finally pulls you in for a kiss. After your passionate kiss Akira lays his head on your shoulder.
"Finally... I think I can get some sleep now that I've got that out."
"You could have told me this on the roof you know." You giggle.
"This isn't the only reason I called you here tonight."
"Huh?"Akira suddenly pushes you down onto the bed, wrapping his arms around you, he lays next to you and closes his eyes.
"Being next to you is so relaxing."
Akira nuzzles his face against your completely red one.
You wanted to argue with him to let you go, but saw that he had already fallen asleep.Sighing, you wrapped your arms around Akira's back and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you so much Akira."
You smiled as you fell asleep with your new boyfriend.
