My Fairy.

Chapter 7 - Nightmares.

"You... what?!"

Gulf's eyes widden. He never thought that he would hear this confession from Mew himself.

"It's not obvious?? Thank God then..."

"Wha--" Gulf is still speechless, trying to process the information he got a while ago. While Mew is back again working on his laptop.

"Mew!"

"What?"

"You like her?!"

"...uhm, yes?"

"Why would you like her!"

"...well, I can't?"

"No! You can't! Why would you like that girl anyway?!"

"Well... She's pretty... and kind..." The cheek that once redden, now redden again because the thought of the girl that he likes.

"I'm pretty and kind too!"

Mew chuckles. It looks like he's not aware on how annoyed the fairy is right now.

"Yeah, I admit that."

"So you like me too?!"

"Of course. I like you as a friend."

"How about her? You like her as a friend too?"

"Uhm... I don't know, but it could be more than that..."

"What do you mean it could be more!"😩 Gulf is whining like a little kid. He also stomp his feet unconciously as he whines.

"Maybe I like her as a... man?? I don't know. I've never fallen in love before..."

The way Mew answered doesn't satisfy Gulf and it makes him way more irritated now. So after that, they weren't talking to each other at all. Mew is busy working on his thesis while Gulf is busy sulking. Gulf does hope that Mew would start a conversation but Mew is way too focused on his thesis.

So when they arrived back at Mew's condo, Mew started to feel strange because this nosy fairy is super quiet today.

"Hey, are you sick, Gulf?"

But Gulf doesn't reply. He walk rowards the couch and sit there with a folded arm.

"Gulf? You feel unwell?"

"No!"

"Are you mad at me? What did I do wrong?" Mew doesn't feel like he did something wrong so he approached Gulf and sit right next to him. But Gulf just turn his head to another side where he can't see Mew's face.

They're not yet reconciled but suddenly, it started to rain. Gulf is startled by the rain that he flinced once he hear the sound of the first drop of water.

"Oh... it's raining again... would you be alright tho?"

"..."

Mew then stared at Gulf. He's worried that this fairy might be scared again once a thunder strikes, so he offer him something...

"You want to sleep with me today?"

!!!

In the speed of a lightning, Gulf turn his head to Mew, he suddenly forget all the frustrations that he felt from earlier.

His eyes sparks glitter again, and his cheek redden from the thought of him and Mew cuddling on the bed.

"You don't want to?" Mew asked again since the fairy hasn't responded to his question.

Mew is about to leave him when suddenly Gulf hold his hand.

"No! I want!!!!"

That night, before going to bed, Mew took a shower. Gulf is waiting for him by sitting in the edge of the bed, feeling nervous. Why would he feel nervous? Well... no one knows. It's not like they're about to do anything, right? They're just going to sleep on the same bed. But Gulf couldn't contain himself, he bite his nail and stomping his feet rapidly.

"Aaahh! I'm excited!" The eyes sparkles again. His heart is beating so fast that he thought it could exploaded at any moment.

But the moment Mew went out from the bathroom, he saw Gulf is already sleeping on his bed. He could hear a thunder struck one time but it didn't wake Gulf at all. Mew smile at the scene and decided to leave him like that. But he put on a blanket on top of Gulf before he leave him and curled up to sleep on the couch outside.

Right in the middle of the night, around 12 a.m., Gulf woke up because he could hear some moaning from outside the bedroom. While still rubbing his eyes, he went out to check upon the sound.

...
...
...

"Mom, no! Ugghhh..."

"Mew?!"

"Mom, dad, no! Don't leave me!"

"Mew!" He run toward the source of the sound. It's Mew.

"Mom... dad... sis..." tears started to drip from his closed eyes. Gulf tried to wake him up but he's still talking in his sleep. Gulf doesn't know what to do so he just wipe his tears and tried to lift Mew's body and pull him into a hug.

"Moommm... I'm tired..."

Seeing Mew in his weak state like this hurt Gulf way more than when Mew was busy talking with the girl earlier. This time, the sadness piercing his heart and break it into pieces. He can't help but cry as well.

"Mew! Wake up!" He tried to shake Mew's body to wake him up.

!!!

"Huh?!"

"Mew? You woke up?"

"...uh... yeah. What happen? You woke up because of the thunder? Are you scared?"

"No... I heard you're talking in you sleep so I..."

"I'm okay. Don't mind me. Go back to sleep."

"But Mew... You were having a nightmare, right?"

"I'm--"

Sighh... No use of dodging the question. He already knew anyway.

Mew nod.

"Then you need a fairy smooch."

Both of them frozen. Mew is confused since it doesn't make sense for hom how his nightmare could corelate with the smooch, while Gulf is preparing his heart so it won't explode when he kiss the handsome man right in front of him.

Gulf slowly pull Mew's head and land his lip on his forehead. Then, it left a red lip mark which only appear for a few seconds after the kiss. That's how the fairy smooches work, it could wipe away the nightmares humans are having at the moment.

"What..."

"Now go to sleep again, Mew. You won't have another nightmare again. I promise..."

"...o, okay..."

"Good night."

"Good night."

So that night, after getting the smooch, Mew sleeps soundly like a baby, and not even the loudest noise could woke him up. He does still dreaming about his family, but it's a good dream. A dream where they are all alive and well, having a camping on the wide green grass.
