Misaki POV

The next day I was a lot better, still not fully recovered yet, but it was mostly back to normal and so I decided to head back to my place when it was still pretty early. I actually woke up early for a change, which was most likely because I just had been sleeping a lot. When I got home the first thing I did was take a long hot shower, got changed and now it was time how in the world I was going to face Arima, but more importantly.. what was I going to tell him.. "Oh hey, I know I have been gone for like a week without saying anything and all, but that was because weeeell... I'm actually a half ghoul and we fought, and I didn't want to fight so I thought it was a good idea to nearly kill myself the other night when we met up, so yeah that's what happened how was your week?" I sighed as I dropped my head into my hands, having literally no clue what to tell him. "This really is not going to be easy.." I mumbled to myself and decided to take a walk, cause sitting here was clearly not helping me. With that said I grabbed my camera and left the house and started walking into a random direction. I always did this whenever I had a lot on my mind and couldn't really figure out what to do, it would take my mind off things for a bit and relax me. However, when I walked by the coffee shop I learned about thanks to Arima, I stopped and walked inside. I sat down at one of the tables and ordered a simple coffee like before, looking around the place while waiting. It really was a peaceful place. Not much later the waitress brought my coffee "thank you" I smiled, and she smiled in return. I sipped the coffee, instantly warming up on the inside and I sighed, realising that I indeed started to get feelings for Arima. From the first moment we met there was just some sort of spark.. and it all just felt so right, there was an instant connection, it probably sounds all very cliché but.. I couldn't deny any longer that I was slowly starting to fall for this man. I had to talk to him, but I couldn't exactly tell him the truth just yet and that thought honestly killed me inside, cause I really did not want to lie, but I didn't have much of a choice, this wasn't something you can just say like that, it needed time. I sighed again not exactly liking the plan, but at least.. I had most things figured out now for myself and that was honestly a good thing. Now I just had to talk to Arima and so I called him. "Misaki.. how are you? You have been gone for a while" he spoke and hearing his voice alone brought a smile to my face, I guess I kind of missed him huh. "I'm alright and that's what I wanted to talk about, I'm sorry for suddenly disappearing like that.. There was some stuff going on with my family." I spoke, hoping he wouldn't ask what had happened, because I still had no idea what I would say than. "It's okay, you're alright and that's what matters, I'm sorry to hear that I hope everything is fine." I could tell from his voice he seemed relieved or at least a lot less worried. "Yeah, thanks things will be fine.. and I'm sorry for making you worry." I honestly felt bad for making him worry so much and even more for lying.. ugh, good job. "Don't worry, you're forgiven." I looked at the empty coffee cup for a moment and suddenly got an idea. "How about I make it up to you, coffee on me at that nice little shop?" I could hear a soft laugh on the other line and smiled a little. "That sounds great, I'll see you after work than?" "Of course, I'll see you than" I said, smiling brightly and with that we hung up again.

Arima POV
I smiled as I put my phone away again, relieved and happy that she was okay, but I knew that she lied to me about what happened, it was pretty clear and I know that she was the one that I had fought against that night, of course she didn't say anything and well I can't really blame her for that, it's not exactly something you can just openly talk about like that so I honestly understood that and decided not to push her, but I really did hope that she would talk to me eventually. I hadn't figured out the story of that case from years ago either and realised it would be impossible as there was just too many gaps and missing files, which was probably something Misaki had done to protect something, so I decided to let it go, it wasn't something I should be digging into. She sounds kind." Haise suddenly said, pulling me out of my thoughts and I looked at him, a warm smile on his face. "She is." I smiled as I thought of Misaki, she was indeed very kind. "Misaki.. She is a really warm and kind person she means a lot to me." I confessed, it was not often I would speak openly about my thoughts or feelings like this and it felt kind of strange to do so, but not bad. "Tell her that, I'm sure she would be happy to hear that." He smiled and left, leaving me to my thoughts again, he was right, maybe I should tell her how I feel.
