Zara: Uno's Lover

8

"......." It's now sleep time, Zara and Uno sat down next to eachother in awkward tension, even Zara was surprised when she got back, she didn't even have time to say a word about it, she was just told to sleep next to Uno, no complain, no comment, done. Period

"Both you get along now! Just go to sleep!" Hajime said before closing the door and shutting the lights 'Plan to get them along is working... maybe.. I'll actually find out tomorrow but who cares' he thought

"..well goodnight you two" Jyugo said, Rock and Nico also said their goodnights, the three slept in an instant, purposely tiring themselves out the whole day so they won't stay up long to see the more awkward tension plus it was their fault in the first place so they wanted to give them privacy this time

"...night/goodnight" Zara and Uno said in unison to their cellmates, Zara went to lie down first, she tucked herself in and face her back towards Uno. Uno looked towards her and slowly followed, facing his back towards hers, neither of them had yet to say goodnight to eachother, but a conversation was currently not yet ready

"......" No one spoke, even after a few minutes, they both knew the other was still awake, but they were both unable to fall asleep, they both knew they were nust waiting for something. Zara sighed tiredly, of course she'll speak and apologize first, that's just how she is "I'm sorry Uno"

Since he know that she knows he's awake it was no use pretending "Why?"

"For freaking out over a... small thing.. I cried because you ..kiss me, I'm sorry. I'm not mad though, it's just that it was our first kiss.. and.. I really wanted it to.. be a great moment... but I'm sorry I was only thinking of myself, how stupid of me" She reassured

"You know.. you shouldn't be the one to say that, sorry too... it was just uh... I really just had the feeling to do it.. sorry" He muttered but due to their close distance she heard it and smiled

"Goodnight Uno" She said

"...I miss you.. Zara" He replied with a toatally different thing which almost shocked Zara, she smiled happily and fell asleep smiling. Uno had waited for her to fall asleep like always, then he sat up and glanced at her seeing her smile, he blushed "Geez... what is that? Smiling over such thing.." Despite what he said he chuckled and went to kiss the top of her head "I'm... glad you're back"

(Next day)

Hajime patrolled around the area doing morning calls, now he's down to cell 13 "Morning call, no.11" he started with him first to check their status, he looked inside and saw him fixing his futon, Zara was being helped by Rock and Jyugo to get up on her wheelchair while Nico fixed her futon for her. So far Hajime can't read if they're ok now, but at least the atmosphere was lighter

"Here" Uno replied, no frown, but neither a smiled, just a neutral face as he fixes his hair

"No.10" Hajime said

"Here" Zara said, her usual smile plastered on her face, Hajime couldn't really tell what happened but at least she's normal again, he continued with the others as well but he was still focused on the young complicated love between the two inmates silently glancing at eachother a few times right now

At least it was going well, or so he though "Hey Gorilla" a familiar monkey voice said, he turned around to meet the one and only monkey "Is no.10 there?" Samon asked, Hajime nodded and gave him the 'what do you want with her?' Look "Let me talk to her" Samon said, and since their cell where right infront of them, Hajime opened the cell door "No.10!" Samon said happily

"Oh? Samon? Nice to see you again!" Zara said as she pushed herself infront of him "What brings you here?"

"I'm actually here to personally pick you up, building 13 is having woodwork today right?" Samon said, Hajime nodded at the sudden reminder, he almost forgot due to trying to bring Uno and Zara's realtionship better.... but they just got better, he doesn't know if she should go.. but at the same time.. she can't stay due to safety purposes.. but seriously?! They just improved in their relationship... I think

"Alright no.10, you can go, I'll come get you at night" Hajime sighed, his efforts will be in vain at this rate

"Nah, let her stay till tomorrow, I'll just bring her back" Samon said, Hajime sighed and said if he's not busy he'll come to get Zara "No.10, you ready?"

"Yes, oh um" She turned to her cellmates "Goodbye everyone, I'll be back maybe later or tomorrow... goodbye Uno eat well, don't let yourself get hurt or in trouble"

"Bye bye" the three inmates said

"....yeah.." Uno replied "bye, take care" Zara smiled at his reply

"I will!" She said happily
