Her sun, His moon

Resolve

School's been cancelled today. The weather has been bad for a couple weeks now. I stretch under the covers, and roll onto my side. There, hugging a stuffed animal, is Haruki. He's been staying with me ever since the "incident" to make sure I take care of myself. When he first asked my parents, they weren't okay with it. However, when he started coming over more and hanging out with us while helping around the house, my parents finally caved.

      I slowly get out of bed, so as not to disturb him, but jump when a hand lightly clutches my wrist. "Mmmmm... Baby?" Haruki asks, voice half asleep and eyes closed. My heart does a backflip when he speaks, and it takes me a second to realize he's not even awake. I shake my head and carefully remove his hand, before leaving the room to go make breakfast.

     I lay out plates and turn back around to the stove, just as big arms wrap around me from behind. "Morning.." Haruki says, resting his head on top of mine. "Hey sleepyhead." I say smiling, leaning back into him. "Whatcha make?" He asks, leaning over me to see the food. "Jeez food is more important I guess..."  I say sarcastic, moving the food to the table. "I mean I love you.... But.... Food!!" He says, already stuffing his mouth. I laugh and grab an apple, chewing on it slowly. He looks up at me, then puts a pancake on my plate. "Eat." He says, cutting it into pieces. "I can feed myself you know." "I know, but it's more fun when I cut it for you." He says, pushing my plate over. I sit there, contemplating, then dig into the food. "Imf gooff!!" I say, mouth full.
       He laughs, and my parents walk into the kitchen. "Sora.." My Dad starts, arm around my mother. Haruki and I look up at my mother, then at him. "Yeah?" I ask, confused. "It's about your sickness." He says. Haruki stands, and steps towards my father. "What is it?" He asks, voice serious. My father glances from him to me, and I nod. "They.... They have an.. Idea."
