..~*~..

"Are you freaking kidding me?" I yelled over my phone as I struggled against the sheets that were tangled around me. I cursed repeatedly through my mind, scheming many ways on how to get back at this bibliophile.

"I am not kidding. I'm serious here." With a grunt, I finally broke free from the sheets, but ended up falling from my bed with a loud thud which also resulted with my phone slipping away from my grasp and landed with a sickening thud not too far away from me. I shrieked loudly, voice echoing around the room.

"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" Immediately crawling over to my phone, I held it tenderly. Upon seeing no cracks, I embraced it against my chest, relieved. For a moment there, my heart almost stopped in panic.

"(F/n)? What happened? Did you drop your phone again?"

I scowled, facing the screen of my phone. My scowl deepened once I saw the picture of the idiot in my screen.

"You think?"

"(F/n), it's not that bad. You just dropped it."

"This is an iPhone 6! I spent half of my savings just to buy this glamorous phone but only to be dropped once in a while by YOU always making me a scene every morning!"

How dense could he be? He knows how quite a light sleeper I am. Just one small move or sound, I'll be awake immediately.

"It's not my fault that you're jumpy." He paused for a while. There is a sound of papers being flipped over, then his voice came, "Come on, hurry up. You're needed here quick. You're already 5 minutes late."

Did I say that I have the worst morning in a freaking Christmas? No? Well, now you know.

..~*~..

"Oh come on!" I blared a horn towards the two bickering woman in front of me. The other cars who are in the same situation like me blared their horns too. Judging by the way they blare, these people also have an appointment for the day.

My glare intensified, knowing that Ryuuji will have my head if am going to be 1 hour late for work. If only I could hit-and-run those couple... I grinned at that small evil thought but quickly shook it away. There's no time for me to think those thoughts. It's Christmas!

"Finally!" I sighed in relief once the traffic enforcer appeared to shoo away the couple. I drove faster as if thirsting for the first place as I bolted through the streets in correct extreme speed to prevent myself from getting a ticket from a police officer. Once I got in the company, I frantically searched for a parking slot to park my car. When I find none, I slammed my head on the steering wheel as the car howled in anger at me. I groaned in infuriation.

I seriously have the worst morning in Christmas.

..~*~..

Bolting through the entrance, I panted to catch my breath after running like a madwoman. I just decided to park my car outside the company since there is no more slots given for me.

Straightening out my blouse, I expertly walked in as if a dilemma didn't happen to me. I gave a brief hello to my co-worker in the reception as she raised an eyebrow at me. I ignored her greeting and quickly walked to the elevator. To my glee, the door swished open with a ding, and I stepped inside, sighing in satisfaction. I closed my eyes and leaned against the steely, cool walls of the elevator.

Thank the gods I'm finally here. Now all I have to do is to calm myself down before—

A ding snapped my thoughts, and deliberately, I opened my eyes to look as the door swished open...

And came in is my boss, Hiroto Kira.

I almost shrieked in surprise; but before I could insinuate the act, I quickly clamped my mouth with a silent gasp. Amused teal eyes met mine and I blushed, looking away. Gosh, what will he think?! This is so embarrassing..

"Good morning, (f/n)-chan." His serene voice tuned around the small room we are in, he stayed just beside me, a small smile framing his lips as he ran a hand on his red hair. I inclined my head a bit to avert my face from him, blushing oh-so slightly.

Why in the name of– Of all elevators, he picked this one?!

"G-good morning, Hiroto-san.." I mumbled out, hands turning white by clutching on my bag with a tight grip. Closing my eyes, I took a quiet sharp intake of breath to calm my stupid beating heart. I've always have a crush on him. Who doesn't? He's kind, intelligent, compassionate and a look that defines a god perfectly. Who wouldn't like a guy like him?

I remained quiet. I was intending to make it silent since the air around us is very awkward and that I don't know what to say to him, but that was thrown out of the window when he glanced at me.

"(F/n)? Are you okay? You seem tensed."

Oh fudge. "H-huh? N-no! I-I mean..." I flushed in embarrassment. "I-I was just—" I paused for a while, frantically panicking inside on how to make an excuse. Beside me, Hiroto just stared at me, eyes worried. His stare unnerved me and I started again, "I—"

Before I could say anything, the elevator rumbled in protest and I yelped, almost tripping to my own feet as the lights around us dimmed. Everything went still and the area is silent. It was deafening me as the nausea consumed my whole being. I began hyperventilating.

"(F/n)? (F/n)!" Hiroto rushed to me, holding my shoulders as I slid down, eyes dilated in fear. I almost shrieked in utmost fear when the lights finally died down, leaving me with nothing but the eery darkness that seem to crawl in my whole being. I pushed myself against the wall, avoiding any claws of the darkness that were in store for me. Darkness is something I'm okay with, but if you put darkness and a close space together, I am terrified. It's a fear I can't overcome at all. I shut my eyes tight as arms embraced me.

"It's okay. I'm here. You're going to be alright."

If it isn't for this situation, I would've gone flustered by now but instead, I leaned closer to him for comfort. My hysterics died down and I felt calmer this time. His scent wheezed through my nose, it's making me sleepy. If only I could stay in his arms forever..

"I never knew you are claustrophobic." He murmured as his embrace tightened. My heart skipped a beat at that one action. Even though it doesn't mean anything to him, it actually means something to me. After all, it's an act of affection.

"Well now you know." I mumbled out, burying myself to his chest further. I felt him move a bit then a weight pressed down above my head, I realized that he rested his chin above me.

"I'm not exactly sure (f/n) but whenever I see you like this, I felt as if I have to protect you somehow.."

I swore my heart just stopped beating right then and there before it started hammering against my ribcage, wanting to be let out. He's just kidding. He meant it as friends, it's not like he likes me at all. I mean— him? The Hiroto Kira? I don't think so.

"I was not supposed to feel like this, but you made me feel it." He continued, I leaned back to face him, eyes widened. My eyes grew used of lack of light as I can finally see him well through the dark.

Don't tell me..

He smiled, a soft smile that seemed to be only for me for I haven't seen him smile that way for someone before. "I'm so sorry (f/n). I did my best to hide it, but I can't do it anymore. I have to let you know that I have feelings for you." Tucking a strand behind my ear, his smile faded. "But I know you probably don't have any feelings for me."

"No. Wait." I stopped him from releasing me, and he relied, looking at me. I'm sure my face was hot but I couldn't help but feel happy that my feelings were reciprocated. "I- I do have feelings for you too. It's the main reason why I am so nervous a while ago.." I glanced away, embarrassed. "I'm so sorry about that."

"No.. It's fine. This is... gods." Before I have the chance to react, he quickly enveloped me into his arms, laughing with so much glee. "Thank you (f/n). You don't know how happy I am to know that you actually have feelings for me as I do for you." My heart swelled with happiness and hugged him back. Hearing him say that, and knowing that I am the reason why he's so jubilant right now sends a warm feeling inside me that I can't seem to ignore. It was the best feeling in the world to have someone love you back.

When he released me, he looked deep at my eyes and I found myself unable to look away. It's as if the only thing that matters is him and us. Before I knew it, we are both leaning towards each other and my eyes fluttered close, knowing of what will happen next.

The door suddenly opened and a voice echoed around us, "The elevator got jammed but don't fear, I'm already he— (f/n)?"

We both flinched back in shock and looked at the source of the voice and saw Midorikawa with his eyes widened.

"I uh..." I stammered for an answer.

"And Hiroto? Okay, I think I just interrupted you two."

"Err..."

"No need for explanation. I already get it anyway. I've been calling you two for twenty minutes already but nobody is answering. I even asked (f/n)'s co-workers if they've seen you two anywhere in the building and indeed they did." Fixing his tie, he smirked. "You should've just told me that you two have some private moments to discuss. Then I wouldn't have to interrupt you two." We blushed at that as he straightened his posture. "Now I know why you two are late. You just wanted to be with each other, give gooey eyes with each other and—"

"Midorikawa! Shut up! It's not like that!" I finally yelled at him, flustered and very frustrated. This guy just never get too old of teasing me. It kinda irked me a lot.

"You still love me anyway."

"I hate you Ryuuji."

He just smirked. "You know what they say, (f/n). The more you hate, the more you love~"

"I said shut up!"

He just laughed me off and left us with the door still open. I saw everyone watching us, it really made me embarrassed that I almost scurried away if it hadn't been for Hiroto.

"(F/n), can I take you out tonight?"

Everyone aww-ed, I swear my face is as red as a tomato right now.

"U-um... yeah sure."

I don't know what happened next. All I heard is the cheers of my co-workers and my friends as they yelled their congratulations to us. But what I can't forget is when Hiroto hugged me and later on kissed me in front of everyone.

Forget what I said a while ago morning. This is actually the best Christmas ever!
