Chasing After You (Kyosuke Kuga x Reader) (A Prince of Stride Fanfic)

Chapter 18

     (Y/N) POV

     I woke up and saw my arms were still wrapped around a familiar torso.

     I looked up and saw Kyosuke asleep. His sleeping face looked so peaceful. 

     We had an hour or so until the alarm went off so it was strange that I woke up this early. I was dreading school. I wouldn't see Junichiro since he goes to a different school but he was most definitely going to crash our practice.

     I was thinking of going back to sleep when I remembered what I had heard last night.

     "How did you know that I liked her?" 

     "It's not like you hide it or anything. Call it a best friend's instinct... I can see that you genuinely care about her. If she decides to be with somebody, I genuinely hope that it's you.

     My breath hitched. I thought that I had been imagining it but it seemed so real. Was it really a dream?

     Did this guy actually like me? And did Ari really approve?

     It was impossible. How could Kyosuke like someone like me? I mean, with his looks he could probably get someone way prettier than me. Not to mention that he's super caring and kind. He's basically the perfect guy.

     Then again, it sounded so real. Did Ari and him actually say those things? I felt my cheeks start to heat up at the idea that Kyosuke actually liked me.

     I had really thought that I would have these unrequited feelings for him forever. I don't know when I got these feelings but they were definitely there. I guess they developed over time.

     I looked back up at his face and saw that his eyes had opened.

     "Morning." I sat up.

     "Good morning."

     I went to the bathroom to get dressed and when I came out, I saw Kyosuke in his unbuttoned school shirt. Which meant that his entire chest was exposed.

     My face turned red and I was trying not to stare.

     "Sorry," I mumbled as I looked down.

     He chuckled. "Don't worry about it."

     I sat back down on my bed and started brushing my hair with my brush. Once I had finished, I saw that Kyosuke was attempting to brush his hair with his hairbrush that he takes to school every day.

    His hair seemed to be really tangled.

     "Need some help?"

     He nodded and I sat behind him as I took his hairbrush from his hands.

     I ran the brush through his hair, trying to be careful as to not pull on the brush too hard. His hair was so soft and silky and it felt so nice going through my fingers. What conditioner does he use?

     "I should probably cut my hair, huh?" He questioned as I continued to brush his long hair.

     "I like your long hair."

     I brought his hair up a little and started to brush at his ends. His hair smelled like mint. Not a strong mint. It was a nice smell.

     I ran the brush through his hair one more time to make sure I didn't miss any tangles.

     "There. Finished." I smiled at him before I handed his hairbrush back to him.

     "Thank you."
