Chapter 2 - I still think of you

...

But then,

a catlike, small, black creature walked into the oh so silent room. He stared at the shaken male and approached him with a rather quick pace. Morgana wasn't stupid, he noticed something was off, and he could never just leave him like that by himself.

- "hey, are you okay?-"

Akira looked up still dizzy, he was so glad to see the cat checking up on him. He already thought he would have to just get through that horrible night alone, but the wildcard knew that he wouldn't have been able to take that. He faked a smile and chuckled slightly "ah don't worry, I'm Okay, a nightmare just got me a bit shaken-"

....

Of course Morgana didn't believe that stupid lie. But that was also the first time anyone has ever noticed that something wasn't 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 with akira. The others did notice he seemed a bit troubled ever since the events of Christmas, but they thought it was just his normal behavior and nothing special.

Nobody of the Thieves would've thought that it got that much to him. He did 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 okay.
But thinking about that now doesn't make much sense anyway, it was Morgana's duty to calm him down now. So the cat jumped onto the bed, and sat down next to Akira. He nuzzled against him and purred, and it didn't take long till the breath of the raven-black haired boy normalized along with his heartbeat. He smiled and petted the cat slightly before lying back down onto the bed.

Akira was truly glad that Morgana came, he didn't want to be all alone this night. Especially not after that 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 nightmare.....
The next thing he knew, he already was asleep, with Morgana purring peacefully close to him.
The black feline was determined to now keep an even closer eye on their leader, he would feel like a bad teammate if he wouldn't, no, not just a bad teammate; he would feel like a bad friend.

The day went off in the usual routine; getting up, eating the famous LeBlanc curry as breakfast, going to school, and leaving.
That was just his usual routine, but since this was the last day of school, the Thieves decided to meet up together and discuss their plans for the upcoming holidays.

As everyone arrived at the discussed location, they all took a seat. Of course the location they decided to meet on was the Cafe. Where else would they go anyways?

As soon as they wanted to start chatting, Ryuji yawned loudly and stretched his tired arms. Apparently the last day of school was "exhausting", and of course Morgana, the way he is, started to scold him for complaining about that. Meanwhile those two had their usual fight, the girls sighed.

"you're such children" Makoto murmured, as Haru started to giggle. Ann soon joined the giggling as well, as Yusuke, in his artistic way, formed a picture frame with his hands as he would do usually and framed the Cafe in them "This would look great on a painting" he said passionately and took out a pencil to draw on a piece of paper. As they all had their fun, Futaba played a game on her phone, while smiling as well. They all seemed to have fun in... Different kind of ways.

Akira also smiled a bit, it was a happy moment after all. But... he just couldn't stop thinking about 𝘩𝘪𝘮. If things could've just gone a bit differently, the "𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳"... would be sitting right there, chatting happily and smiling.
