It's the 2nd day of my life and I have a feeling it's going downhill... I found myself a boyfriend though, Kaito-kun. Ahh! Why am I even thinking about this. Wait a second... What is that sound? *alarm sounds play* Huh?
"Miyuki-san! Miyuki-san! You're gonna be late!"
"Huh.? Kaito-kun?"
"Good morning, sleepyhead." He said to me with a soft smile his eyes sparkling and hinting a sign of affection.
"HUH?!?! KAITO-KUN?! W-WHY ARE YOU HERE?" My eyes widened and a slight wave of astonishment replaced the fatigue on my face.
"Don't you remember, Last night I confessed to you and we walked home laughing and eating ice cream."
"We ate ice cream? I thought we were-"
"Just kidding." He interrupted laughing as he told me.
"Come on!!" My annoyance was clear since my face was glancing to the left taking small glances at him every second.
It was a bit silent after that... I was waiting patiently for him to say something.
"Anyway, whats your answer?" Breaking the silence, he asked me with a concerned expression.
"Huh? Oh.. My answer is... Yes! I-I love you Kaito-kun!" I got up and hugged him tightly.
"I love you too, Miyuki-san." I was still speechless and shocked as he told me this. My head froze and I ran out of words to say. I was at loss for words. But he hugged me tightly making me feel safe and protected knowing he's there for me.
"Hey Kaito-kun... Are you sure you wanna do this?" My heart was racing as I told him.
Kaito-kun smiles and kisses me. Making my heart race even faster. His lips were so soft. I wish this lasted forever.
"How was that Miyuki-san?" He asks me, smiling.
"It was..." I hesitate to answer.
"Don't worry, you don't have to tell me." He then proceeds to put his index finger on my-
-mouth and say, "Shh... It's all good now." Making me fall for him even more.
"Say, Miyuki-san... Wanna be absent just for today? You and me hangout somewhere?" He asks me almost stuttering with each word.
"Sure! Why not? Where should we go?" I answer him excitedly.
"Why don't we go to an arcade, café and go to the park?"
"Sounds good! I'll get dressed!" I excitedly tell him.
"Okay. I'll go get dressed as well... Speaking of which, can I use your clothes?"
"HUH? M-MY CLOTHES? WHY?" I respond shyly...
"Well Uh... I dont have any other clothes right now." He answered hesitantly.
"Uh... O-Okay.. My clothes are in the closet. Pick any one youd like." HUH?? WHY DID I LET HIM PICK? WHATS WRONG WITH ME?!?
"Hey, I can just go back home and get clothes if you want." He expresses with a sad and tired expression.
"I-It's fine, don't worry." I reassure him.
"Okay. I'll find something. Thanks again! I'll wash the clothes for you."
"Huh.? Oh thanks. It's reeally fine though, I can wash them myself." WHAT AM I SAYING?! IT'S LIKE IM BEGGING FOR HIM TO WEAR IT SO I CAN SMELL THEM AFTER! AHH!!
"Uh. Sure, okay."
Oh Miyuki, You always do this, you made him think you're weird!
"Hey, don't think negatively. It's really okay, I don't mind!" He reassures me that it's okay and normal.
"O-Okay... Thanks." My face hinting I was scared.
"I'll change." He breaks the short silence and tells me this as I'm still processing what just happened.
"U-Uh. Okay." Mindlessly, I respond.
He then starts stripping and I say, "The bathroom is over there just so you know!"
"You don't like it if I change here? It's fine. I'll go." As he turned back, he waved and went to the bathroom to change. I thought to myself, "What the hell is wrong with you Shirakawa Miyuki! That was your chance and you let it go just like that! You're the worst." Then, I began slapping myself in the face until Kaito-kun heard it and said, "MIYUKI-SAN! STOP IT. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG TO START HURTING YOURSELF!" He seemed really worried.
I tell him, "I-I'm sorry.." With a teared expression.
He sighs and tells me, "Just don't do that again. I don't wanna see you all hurt you know? It hurts to see you in pain you get me?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry again..." I felt a wave of emotions, specifically embarrassment get me as I realized what I did.
"Please don't do it again. I trust you. I'm gonna change now. See you." His eyes were on the verge of tears as he walked to the bathroom.
I didn't want this chance to slip. I grabbed his hand and asked, "Kaito-kun... C-Change here..." As I asked shyly, he calmly responded, "Hmm... Sure!" It made me a bit excited.
He then began to start stripping and change to his clothes into the clothes I let him wear. I do the same... However, I was a bit slow and shy while doing it.
I was so shy to the point I actually dropped my shirt.. It made me even more flustered.
I bent down to get it and didnt realize Kaito-kun did as well causing our heads to bump into each other.
"Ow.." I squeaked and rubbed my forehead
Kaito-kun gave me a soft flustered smile, his eyes were all over the place. he asked,
"You okay, Miyuki-san?"
"Y-yeah.. I think I'm fine." My voice trembled, betraying my brain.
He finished first and was waiting for me to finish... I mean, he was looking away...
When we finished changing, we decided to go out to a nearby forest.
"Hey.. Kaito-kun, this seems creepy... Can't we go back?" I ask with a trembling voice.
"Well... If you wanna go back then sure."
But at the same time, I don't wanna go back. There may be memories we might make here.
"No, lets not go back. I wanna explore just a bit more..."
"If that's what you want then sure.
We then walk. Kaito-kun tripped because of a rock and I bursted out laughing making Kaito-kun to be a little frustrated but he laughed it off as well. We were talking when we stumbled across a hidden gem of the forest. A stream of water that looked beautiful. And I could tell Kaito-kun thought of the same thing just by his expression.
I hear Kaito-kun scream. I ran towards him and I saw he fell down... I then start laughing.
"Hahaha! Do you need any help?" Still laughing as I ask.
"Quit laughing Miyuki-san." He stood up and pushed me then laughed.
"Hey, come on! You ruined my clothes! Hmph." I then splash water at him.
"You wanna start it Miyuki-san? Let's go!" Playfully saying it as he also splashed water at me.

We then had a big water fight. One by one grabbing water and trying to throw it at eachother. We both had fun. We fell then got back up. Our clothes were ruined.
"Uh.. Miyuki-san we should go back and change." I got the idea and blushed but didn't say anything.
"Okay, lets go Kaito-kun!" I reach my hand for him and we run back home.
On the way, we met a purple haired girl. I suddenly remembered, "Huh? I think I've seen her before... She seems familiar like I was with her for a long time..." Kaito-kun noticed and asked me, "Miyuki-san? You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, let's go." I hide the expression and replace it with a fun and playful one.
"Alright." I knew he didnt realize it yet.
We got back to my house and we changed in my room. It was kind of awkard changing in the same room especially when we were in front of eachother. I moved and he did as well though.
"You done, Miyuki-san?" He asks me.
"Yeah, I'm done. Where should we go next?" I ask him pondering for a place I want to go.
"Hmm... Why dont we go to the mall next? Mayne we'll find something interesting."
"Sure. let's go to the big one?"
"Yeah, I mean we'll spend most of the day there anyway." We both laughed as he said that.
We chat for a bit then go to the front door. Realizing I left something again I say, "Oh. Kaito-kun. I left my phone." Reassuring, he responds, "Don't worry I didn't even bring mine. It's a date anyway haha. All we need is eachother." I became happy and gave him a smile. Blushing as I did it. I knew he noticed since he took my hand and clenched it. Giving me a kiss after. "W-What was that for..." I ask him shyly. "Nothing. Don't worry. I love you Miyuki-san."
"I-I know but you idiot! T-That was unexpected..." I became really embarrassed and blushed...
As soon as I said that, he gaveme me a cute smile making me blush even more and smile hesitantly.
Kaito makes a comment on how cute I was with my outfit. I tell him, "You look cute as well." He blushed intensely and I felt him grabbing my hand a bit harder trying to hold in his feelings. I mean, he looked cute too. "Ahh! What am I thinking?" I say to myself.
We talked while walking when we arrived at the mall. It was huge... The windows were showing clearly what was inside and I felt it was different since Kaito-kun is with me. I-I feel really happy for some reason..
"Hey Miyuki-san! Should we go to the art gallery first?"
"Sure! I mean we both really like art anyway haha." MIYUKI?? WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU SAYING?! ITS JUST AS IF YOURE OBSESSED WITH HIM YOU MEMORIZED WHAT HE LIKES!!
"Sounds Good. Let's go!! I'm just so excited to spend the day with you, Miyuki-san." He holds back a bit then says it clearly.
"M-Me too..." I tell him shyly.
We start climbing the stairs to the entrance when all of a sudden Kaito-kun tripped on the steps falling on top of me but I miraculously managed to catch him before anything would happen. He's a bit lighter than I thought..
"Are you okay Kaito-kun?" I ask him with a concerned expression.
"Y-Yeah because of you. Thanks.." He grins at me and a slight blush forms around his face as his eyes couldn't keep eye contact.
"Okay.. Just dont fall again okay? It worries me what if im not there and I cant catch you.."
"Its okay, I wont anymore, Promise." He promises me he wont trip anymore.
"Okay.." I believe him as we kept walking.
As we walked nearing the entrance, we saw a cat cafè and forgot about the art gallery.
I pull Kaito's shirt and he looks back and says "Hm?" I say, "C-Can we go to the cat cafè first..?" I ask him slightly tugging on his shirt, giving him teary eyes looking down.
"Sure. Never knew you liked cats! But its a good thing I know now!" He smiles.
"Really?! Okay let's go!!" Excited, I forcefully bring Kaito-kun to the cat cafè. I noticed he looked awkard and his eyes kept avoiding eye contact and he felt uncomfortable.. This makes me rethink if he really is related to the purple haired girl..
I get distracted since I see a cute orange cat.
"Kaito-kun! Look! It's an orange cat!" I excitedly tell him, pulling him closer.
"Really? Wow! It looks cute. " He seemed uninterested. He glanced at the cat then returned to looking back at the exit.. Or wait, is that..? No... Purple H-Hair..? What.?
"What? Where am I..?"
A mysterious voice tells me, "Forget about it. Focus on the cat.."
Suddenly, I'm back to the human world... I can't really describe what just happened but it was all white and someone spoke to me...
I'll just listen to him..
"Can we bring him home.. Please!!" I ask him tightening my grip to his hand.
"Uhh... We'll see if your mom allows it." He kept fidgeting and kept glancing at the exit.
.
I saw he was uninterested so I just told him, "Let's go to the cafè now! I wanna relax!!"
He replied with an uninterested voice and an emotionless face,
"Yeah, let's go. "
I forget about it and both of us enter the cafè and talk to the cashier.
"Hello, hows your day today, would you like a private room?" The female cashier asks.
"Yes sure." Kaito-kun replies. I thought about it and a private room.. It gives me thoughts about whats gonna happen.
"Okay, you can order there and itll be on the bill. Have a great stay, also, don't overdo it with the cats! You have a stay of 15 minutes." The cashier replies.
"Alright. Thanks! Miyuki-san let's go."
"Okay Kaito-kun."
We then order a croissant and a cappuccino. Then afterwards we played with the cats. Sooner or later the ring buzzed and it was time to go. Kaito-kun paid for it and we said goodbye to the cashier and the cats.
"That was a quick 15 Minutes wasnt it, Kaito-kun?"
"Yeah, it was. But its okay, theres a long day we can use to explore! To the art gallery!"
He grabs my hand and rushes to the art exhibit since there was an event.
As we ran there, I got excited and thought to myself, "Is this a dream?" But I reassures myself it wasn't. Telling myself to enjoy this day to its fullest.
As we arrived, he told me, "Miyuki-san! Look! It's the type of art you love!" I respond, "Really? Where?" He pulled my face towards his and said, "Right here, you klutz." Then pulled me to a corner and whispered in my ear, "Let's have fun okay?"
I reply, "O-Okay.!"
As the action cooled down, he told me, "That one looks nice." I agree and respond with, "Yeah. It really does."
"Oh! Look! Miyuki-san That one looks like your house!"
"Really? Oh yeah! It does. Wow!" I respond excitedly. Still trembling as to what happened earlier.
"Thanks for agreeing with me and coming here."
"No problem. After all, I am your girlfriend and I love you."
"Haha. Thanks." He blushed as I said it and I noticed, I grabbed his hand and took him to the mini golf area. I knew he liked mini golf.
I thought to myself while taking him there, "What's he thinking... Does he like that im taking him there? Ahh! I'm so confused. I don't know what to do..."
We arrive and he says, "Miyuki-san... How did you know I liked Mini Golf..?"
I tell him teasingly, " I. Wont. Tell. You. Haha!"
"Come on!"
"Nope!"
"Fine, lets just play."
I could tell he was excited due to the fact he was rushing things. It makes me happy that hes having fun.
I mean, I likes mini golf too... I was hally when I found out he liked it too. It made my heart shine.
We were playing mini golf for hours to the point we even lost track of time since we got too engaged. I loved this day and I wished it wouldnt end again.
"YEAH!!! STRIKE!"
"Aw.. I'll beat you next time Kaito-kun!"
"Huhu, lets see about that!"
He took a look outside and asked, "Miyuki-san... What time is it?"
"Well I don't really know I didnt bring my phone."
"I think its time to get going.. Look outside its getting dark."
"Yeah.. It is. Wait, Kaito-kun I'll go ask her what time it is."
"Okay, I'll be here waiting."
I run towards the stranger and ask, "Hi miss, what time is it?"
"Around 8:50, you kids should get going." She told me, her face seemed concerned.
"Thank you!"
I go back to Kaito-kun and say, "8:50 PM." I then grab his hand and run back home. Strangers gave us weird looks. I could only dream to never let this moment end.
When we arrived, he asked, "Miyuki-san can I stay at your house tonight?"
Surprised with the sudden question, I ask him to repeat himself. "Huh? What?"
"C-Can I sleepover?"
HUH?? KAITO-KUN?! SLEEPING OVER? WHAT!?
Okay Miyuki. Pull yourself together!
I reply, still fazed, "Y-Yeah sure."
"Really? Are you sure theres enough space for both of us?" He didnt seem convinced.
I assured him there was, "Yeah, we can sleep together in my bed, we'll fit." I blurted that out. Ahh!! Why? Miyuki why?!
"Isn't that a bit weird though?" He seems concerned when he asked me that.
"I mean.. If its just tonight.. I-It's fine.." Shy, I respond not knowing what I just said.
"Okay. I'll use your clothes too since I only have my uniform for tomorrow."
"O-Okay.." I was really excited since I wanted to see what would happen next..
We both then enter my house and go upstairs. My mom is asleep now since its 9:30..
Shyly, I ask, "Kaito-kun, I can cook dinner tonight if you want."
"We already ate at the mall so I think its fine."
"Okay. I'll cook breakfast tomorrow."
"Hmm.. The first person to wake up cooks it. Haha!"
"Come on Kaito-kun! Thats not fair.."
"Fine, you cook it."
I really wanted him to taste my cooking.. Just thinking about it makes my head spin.
We then go inside my room and shocked, he says, "Miyuki-san you never told me you liked space this much."
"Really? I thought it was obvious haha. I really like space. It seems soothing for someone like me."
"Hmm. Yeah, I can relate. It's like an endless space where you can smear your thoughts onto it and it wouldnt even leave a scar. Any bad feeling or thought you can just make it disappear by somehow putting it there."
"Yeah. It really does feel like that for me as well."
"I'm already changed, Miyuki-san. So you can go ahead and change into your pajamas or whatever you wear to sleep."
"Okay." I was a bit shy to change in front of him but I already did this in the morning so I told myself it'll be okay. So, I strip and change to my outfit for the night. A pajama with long pants and stars. There was a collar that was colored red. The main outfit itself was white. The stars were colored in acute yellow. Making it feel vibrant.
"Wow. Miyuki-san.. You look amazing." He blushes while telling me.
"T-Thanks. S-Shall... We lie down.?" Stuttering each word but I managed to gather the courage and say it.
"Y-Yeah..." I noticed Kaito-kun was shy.
Hell, in the end, we ended up in the same bed. Facing each other. I just wanted to lean in for a kiss. I could feel and hear his breathing... He was breathing heavily so I think hes nervous.
As kaito-kun was nervous, he broke the silence and asked, "So Miyuki-san, do you have dreams for the future?"
Shocked by the sudden question, I say, "Well... Yeah, I guess."
"My dream is to become an artist or even an astronaut. It seems fun for me." I say it shyly. I knew he noticed it since he held my hand tightly.
"Thats an amazing dream Miyuki-san. I saw your art from the park and it was really cute. The detail was exact and I really loved it. I know you can –make it big soon. Just keep working!"
I blush and reply, "Thanks Kaito-kun"
Curious, I ask, "What about you, what are your dreams for the future?"
I see hes thinking hard. But he replies, "Miyuki-san. To be honest, I'm not really sure yet. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. But I do know that I want to be happy and successful and I want to be with you and see you everyday."
I smile and blush, "M-Me too, Kaito-kun I wanna be with you every day as –well."
He leans in closer to me. I can feel his breath.
He whispers in my ear, "Don't worry. I'll always be there for you. Miyuki-san."
"Okay.."
"Let's go to sleep. Miyuki-san." Kaito-kun was tired, it looked like it at least.
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
I still wonder what will happen tomorrow and if our relationship will stay the same...
As I slowly closed my eyes, I felt Kaito-kun hold my hand and tells me, "Go to sleep Miyuki-san."
I stay quiet and just fall asleep.
I think im in my sub consciousness..
I'm not that excited for tomorrow especially after seeing the purple haired girl, but I know Kaito-kun is with me and will stay with me the entire journey. Even when I'm at my darkest point.
Hold on... I think I know the girl...
END OF CHAPTER 2
Hmm.. I really wonder if this will last forever. Like, what if tomorrow he just disappears and leaves me alone to suffer.
Forever..
Afterword
I was pretty lazy writing this chapter since I thought of the plot concept literally at 12 AM. After I wrote the chapter, I reread and realized how bad it was and attempted to polish it and fix the errors. Now, I'm pretty sure it's goos for publish and enough for a developing chapter.
