(L/N)'s PoV

So, it's been weeks since I last saw Nobu-kun. We've both become really busy.

I decided to take another part-time job, which was babysitting, and he is almost graduating from voice acting school.

Right now, I was at my apartment talking to my parents and siblings through video chat.

"Nee-san, you're coming here for Christmas, right?" My younger sister asked.

"Yes. I'll be there. I might bring a special guest too." I said.

"WO-HO-HO! SPECIAL GUEST! MY SISSY'S GETTING HITCHED!" My younger brother yelled.

"No! He's just my boyfriend!" I defended.

"For now!" He said then we all laughed.

"Take care of yourself, sweetie." My mom bid.

"Stay safe!" My dad bid.

"Nee-san, bye-bye!" My siblings bid.

When the call ended, my phone suddenly rang.

I blushed then answered.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"Is it wrong that I just wanted to hear my girlfriend's voice?" He asked.

I laughed.

"No, but you're the voice actor in training so I should be the one who'd want to hear your voice, right?"

"Eh? That sounds biased. Anyways, I just wanted to know how you were doing." He said.

"I'm doing fine. A little stressed, but it couldn't be better." I said.

"I'll come over later after work. Until then, hang on, okay?" He said with a laugh.

"Okay. Bye." I said then hung up.

Ah. If I listened to his voice any longer, I wouldn't want the call to end. I'd want to keep talking and talking just to hear him. I'd want him to be next to me to when I call him again. So for the rest of the afternoon, I resisted calling him and wanting to see him.

Soon, it was already fifteen minutes past six and I was already impatiently waiting for Nobu-kun.

"(F/N)-chan, it's me."

"Come in." I said as I stood up from the dining table.

"Hey. Sorry, I'm later than usual." He said as he hugged me.

"It's fine. We're both busy." I said.

But to be honest, I wanted to be in your arms like this since this morning, but that can't happen, right?

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to fix something up?" He asked.

"Nobu-kun, it's my apartment. Shouldn't I be saying that?" I asked.

"Well, I'm not hungry yet. Are you?" He asked.

"Not yet. I just want to cuddle."

He laughed then responded.

"Okay, come on." He said then pulled me to the sofa and we sat together, watching tv with a blanket to keep us warm.

And so more weeks have passed and we haven't met up again. I was at work tonight at a babysitting job. I just put [random child's name] to sleep.

I was currently in the living room of the house where I was babysitting. I was cleaning up the toys that were scattered then suddenly my phone rang. It was [friend's name]. The guy who works at the post office with Nobu-kun.

"Hey, [friend's name], is something the matter?—"

"(F/N), OKAMOTO-KUN IS AT A HOSPITAL! HE GOT HIT BY A TRUCK!"

"W-What?"

Okamoto's PoV

"Oh my goodness, Okamoto-kun! I thought it was something serious!" [friend's name] said.

"Hehe. Sorry. I hope you didn't tell anyone that you thought it was a huge accident." I said.

"Well... I kinda did.."

"WHAT!?"

"I told (F/N)."

"WHAT!? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? (F/N)'S GONNA FREAK!" I yelled as I held his collar and shook him.

"I'm sorry, I—"

"Just let me in already! Oh come on! I don't care if someone else is still inside just let me in! Look, woman, my boyfriend could be on the verge of death so I don't really care who the heck in the ***** world is in that ******* room!"

".. yeah, you should get out before she kills the nurse or something. I don't wanna attend a funeral tomorrow." I said as I let go of him and pointed at the door.

As soon as he went out a loud scream could be heard.

"Ow!"

"You told me he was hit by a truck!"

"How would I know that he just bumped into a parked truck? News is slow and wrong all the time!"

"Ugh! Just go already!"

I took a deep breath and got ready to greet her.

"Hey.." I said as she entered the room.

"Nobu-kun is such an idiot." She said as she cried.

"H-Huh? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

"Yes. You have no respect for me, Nobu-kun. I can't believe you hit your head at a truck when you were so excited to call me when you got off from work." She said then sat on the chair next to my bed.

"Don't worry. It was just a slight concussion. It doesn't hurt that much." I assured.

"No! No matter how much you needed to pay attention to yourself, you paid attention to me! I hate you for that! You're never honest with me! Why don't you respect me, Nobu-kun?" She asked as tears still flowed down from her face.

"Maybe you can't tell, but I want to be the best boyfriend for you. I want to do everything I can. I don't want to see you sad or lonely ever again." I said as I held her hand.

"You're lying!—"

I then cut her off with a kiss.

"I'm being completely honest here. And honestly, I really just want to kiss you right now." I said.

"Well, s-since you're being honest today, I guess I'd allow that.." she said while blushing.

"Hey, don't cry anymore, alright? I promise I'll be more honest with you." I said as I wiped her tears with my thumb.

"Then I'll be honest with you too." She said.

"Okay then-"

This time, she was the one who cut me off with a kiss. I guess we just needed to trust each other more so that we could open up to each other better.
