Yume POV

I lay on my back. Once again I'm "home" alone. I'm on my phone when all of a sudden it slips from my hands and lands on my face.

I quickly sit up.

"I hate it when this happens!"

I look at my legs. I can still feel them so that's good. I stand up and go over to the mirror.

I'm wearing some pink shorts. With whatever shirt I had. My hair is down lose.

I sigh in boredom. I yawn. I place my arms behind my head. Making something like a triangle.

"Man. I'm home alone, and I have nothing to do today."

I walk back over to the bed and flop down. My arms spreading to the sides. And bits of my hair flying on my face.

I take a deep breath as I feel a small pinch in my chest. I shut my eyes close due to the small short pain. But I don't re-open them.

I keep them gently closed. And just let myself relax. Something which I haven't honestly done in a long time.

As my eyes stay close I feel a slight vibrate on the bed. I open my eyes and look over to where I feel and kinda hear the vibration.

I see my phone lit up a bit. Signalizing that I received a text. I slowly reach over and grab it.

I hover it over my face with my left hand holds it and my right touches the screen.

When I see the screen my eyes widen.

New message from Subaru

Why would Subaru text me?
What does he want?

I hesitantly push the icon to take me to the message.

Hey.....

I know we haven't talked in awhile....
Or texted.....

But...... I wanna know if you would like to hang out today....

If you want too...

My eyes widen as I feel my cheeks get hot. And my chest feels like this quick feeling thing just came and went.

What do I say?!?!
Do I reply?!?!
Should I?!?!
Why am I fussing over this little thing?!?!
Why do I feel so nervous?!?!
It's just a text?!?

As I stare at the text I do nothing. I just stay still. Absolutely still.

My face soon softens.

Maybe I should......
It's been a really long time since we've really talked to each other.......

Before I knew it my fingers were already typing a reply.

Um.....

Sure......

It has been awhile since we've hanged out with each other.

Really!?

Okay I'll go get ready.

I'll meet you at that café you told me once that you and Honoka always go to.

Okay.

I practically jump off my bed. I go to my closest and chose my usual. You know, white shirt, pink button sweater, blue skirt.

I walk over to the mirror and stare at myself. I stare at my reflection. If it wasn't for the sweater being some-what big on me, my clothes would tug on my figure. Showing my curves.

I some-what blush from the thought. I shake my head. And head out.

On the walk to the café I text Honoka that I'm not gonna be home for a few hours. But I don't tell her why.

On the way I'm not paying attention and accadently bump into someone.

"Sorry I-Subaru?"
"H-Hey Yume."
"Hi."

I look down nervous. But why though?

He quickly grabs my hand and starts leading me somewhere.

"W-Where are we going?"
"You'll see."

I don't say anything after that. And neither does he. The sun is already going down so Honoka and Yukiho must already be home.

When he stops practically draging me I look around.

The place is like a little hill. That has grass around it. With an ocean on the other side.
(Like where Ichigo and Naoto talk. Remember?)

The sun has already set. And the stars and moon are already out.

He drops my hand and stands still. Staring at the ocean. I walk foreward a bit. Now I'm standing in front of him.

"Why did you bring me here?"
"Doesn't this remind you of anything?"
"You didn't answer my question."
"Just answer mine..... Please."
"No it doesn't why?"
"It doesn't? Don't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Christmas. We spent it under the stars. Remember it was 12 am. And we spent it together at night."

He looks down.

"It was also the first time you actually said my name......."
"Yeah. So what?"

He looks up at me mad.

"So what!? What do you mean by 'So what?'!?"
"Exactly what it means. So what? Why was that night so important to you?"
"........it was the night I realized I fell in love with you......"

I give him a puzzled look.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"N-Nothing!"

I sigh in frustration.
"If this is the only reason you called me out here. To look at the stupid moon with you than I'm leaving."

I say as I start walking away.
I barley make it a few inches before he replies.

"What's your problem!?"
"I'm just tired okay. And  I really just wanna go home!"

And I'm starting to lose the feeling in my legs a bit..... That's not good.....

I start walking away. Let me re-sentence that. I try walking away again, but than he interrupts me again. This time he's looking down.

"Yume...."
"What?"
"Would you......."

He says nothing for awhile. But soon he picks his head up with confidence.

"Would you be willing to hug me?!"

I take a step back.
"W-What?"
"I wanna hug my best friend..... My childhood friend. So please....."

I look down. And clutch my fits. I start walking to him. He slightly opens his arms out a bit. His frown turns into a soft smile.

I look down and.................. Walk right pass him.
As I walk pass him I say somthing.

"I'm sorry..... I just..... Don't wanna be close to anyone right now....."

He slowly drops his arms along with his head.

"That's a lie."
"What did you say?"
I say. Stopping in my tracks and looking back at him.

"I said that's a lie!"
He turns around and faces me.
"I know you! You're my best friend you still are! I care about you! And you care about me! And you still do! I know it!"

He looks back down.

"That's why..... I'm gonna get it back......"

He looks back at me.

"I'm gonna get the bond that I lost with you back!"

As soon as he says that I lose the feeling in my legs. I slowly fall down. My hair flies in front of my face a bit. I sit on the floor with my knees bended behind me.

Crap!
Not now. Not now!

"Yume?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah! I'm fine!"
"Yume. I know when you lie."

I stay silent. I hear him sigh and I hear his footsteps.

Before I knew what was happening I felt one of Subaru's arms wrap around my legs and his other one on my back. I instantly feel my face heat up.

He's carrying me bridal style!

"I'll take you back to the hotal until the feeling in your legs come back. By the way, why did your legs stop working?"
"They're jusy tired. I'm not really suppose to walk on them alot. But..... I still do."

I hate lying.....

"Oh. Okay."

By the time we get back to the hotal nobodys there. Subaru said that Asahi made everybody take him to this certain part of town.

He gently lays me on the bed. And sits in front of me. I place my arms on my side to help keep me up. His face is only a few inches away from mine.

"Yume..... Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah. Just tired. And sleepy and a little bit-" I notice that he's inching closer to me. And his eyes are closed.-"scared........"

I close my eyes slowly. I feel a light and small blush on my cheeks. When my eyes are fully closed, I feel his lips make contact with mine.

I slowly feel the feeling coming back to my legs.

To be honest, his lips feel soft. And gentle like he's afraid to kiss me.

"Like he's afraid to kiss me."

"To kiss me."

My shoot open. I quickly roll over to the side and purposely fall off the bed.

"Yume!"
"I-I'm fine. B-But I think I'm gonna go home now bye!"
I say as I quickly stand up and bolt out of the room.

As I'm walking back I stare at the ground.

I'm sorry Subaru......

I'm just scared to fall in love again......
More specifically to fall in love with you again......
