I found you in April

Was it all a dream?

Kousei's POV

Ugh my head. What's going on? I'm awake. I'm in a hospital room. So I was dreaming? For a dream that felt quite surreal! Kaori's still asleep. Her head is resting on my shoulder. She's beautiful. I'm not moving a muscle. She's like a deer. Move too suddenly and you'll startle it and they'll run away. I didn't want to embarrass her. I'm not exactly what one would call desirable. I guess the saying "One can dream" is a reality in this situation.

The nurse came in to check on us but said nothing. She saw Kaori was still asleep so she left us be but not before just looking at us, or maybe just her, and smiling like it was the last time she ever would. 

None of that had actually happened. I practiced what had become a daily ritual for me at this point. I cried. I tried not to sob too heavily for fear I would wake her up. Eventually, I laid down her head on the pillow and got up to go to the bathroom. Besides, I didn't want her to wake up mortified.

Kaori's POV

Huh? I'm still here? That was a dream? I was so sure that was real! It felt like we were living in that dream. As I came to the realisation that none of that happened, I became depressed. I was still happy to at least be at Kousei's side but I had dreamt up a scenario that I knew was never going to happen. For the millionth time in my recent life, I cried. I'm pathetic. How could he ever fall for me?

I wanted to sing Twinkle Twinkle in the night! I wanted to be his accompanist! I wanted to run through the town with him! I wanted to play hopscotch and eat canelés with him! I wanted him to play me a song with that dreamy look in his eye that made me fall even deeper in love with him! I wanted him to look at me in the way every girl wants to be looked at! In a way that screams "I love you". I wanted to kiss him and I wanted him to kiss me back.  But it was all just a dream. Who knows if he felt the same?

I was actually kind of hoping I would wake up next to him. DID I SCARE HIM OFF?! Oh my God I hate myself.

Third Person POV

When Kousei had gotten out of the bathroom, Kaori thought he had been crying. He looked visibly upset but said nothing. He just sat down on the bed beside her. At this point, the nurse came in. She noticed both looked distraught over something. At first, she didn't know what this could have been but then she realized. 

"You two truly are remarkable." The nurse stated.

The two teenagers looked at her in surprise.

"How long have you two known each other?"

They looked at each other, tears in their eyes, and replied "A day."

The nurse looked at them in shock but then laughed and said; "There it is again."

"What?!"

"You're both saying the exact same thing at the exact same time! Others would call it coincidence but I don't call it that. I think your hearts are linked. You two are meant for each other."

The two looked at each other and blushed. They didn't know how to reply but they both thought the exact same thing at this moment.

"How can I tell him?" Kaori thought.

"How can I tell her?" Kousei wondered.

**********

The nurse brought their release papers and once they were signed, Kousei went to the toilet one last time before leaving. As he did so, the nurse pulled Kaori aside.

"I told you he loves you." She said.

"WHA-"

The nurse had taken out her phone! She had recorded the moment from the previous night. The climax of Kaori and Kousei's dream.

"You two were having the exact same dream at the exact same time. Couples who have been with each other for a lifetime never experience this but you two just did having known each other only a day!" The nurse exclaimed.

Kaori just watched the video in amazement. They were entangled in the same way they had fell asleep. Neither had moved an inch. Kousei had his body inched over Kaori's almost in a protective way while Kaori had her head nuzzled into Kousei's chest.

"Kousei..." she mumbled. 

Then came the magic words. They had both said them at the exact same time. The dream had reached its high point.

"I love you."

Kaori burst into tears. He actually loved her!

The nurse hugged her. "Go get him girl." She told the teen.

**********

When Kousei got out of the bathroom, Kaori ran for him and threw herself at him again!

The nurse just smiled like a proud mother. "Don't let her go Arima. You'd be a fool to even think about it."  

"Woah! She's doing it again."

"Please tell me I'm not just dreaming again."

"You're not dummy."

They walked out of the hospital hand in hand. This was a reality. They were really together. They were physically holding each other, neither prepared to let the other go.

They felt as though they could take on anything. Nothing would stop them!

"Kaori?"

"Hm?"

"I have a question..."

A/N: GOT YA! I'm sorry to those of you who I convinced that they were together. They will have their time. But first, a few other things have to happen. Hope you're enjoying the story! See ya in the next chapter :p
