Chapter 6
The Mysterious Boy Over There
I hold his hand and whisper to his ear, "Thank you, Yuuki-kun. " teasing him, I slide my finger across his shirt vertically.
He blushes and let out a slight groan.
"H-Hey.. What was that for?!"
I turn my head back and smile, "Nothing, huhu. " I then run inside.
We enter the dining room, just entering felt like it was a theme park, filled with laughter and joy.
Reconciliation dawned upon me, and I thought I shouldve painted the cracks on the wall.
I felt someone breathing behind me, I turn back and see Yuuki-kun.
Flustered, I reply, "Ah! W-what are you doing.? "
"Sorry. " Yuuki replied apologetic.
My Mom smiled at Yuuki and told him to go look around to see if he wants to stay for the night.
Then she pulled me aside and said, " — "
—
"Hmm.. Should I stay for the night.?" I told myself as I was walking around. Feeling nervous, I forgot about what I thought about and rushed back to the kitchen to see Miyuki talking with her mom.
She noticed and asked, "So? Would you like to stay for the night?"
I replied, nervously, "Y-yeah. Sure. "
She pulled Miyuki aside and said, smiling, "Great! You can stay with Miyuki in her room. "
—
"Wait! What? He's staying in my room!? " I said, panicking.
"Yes. He will. " My mother exlaimed.
"B-but! I don't — " My mother interrupted me and said, "No Buts, I'll prepare his bed for you. "
"You know I don't have to stay right.?" Yuuki said, scratching his head.
"Are you really sure? I think you two should get to know each other since you saved my dear daughter. " My mother insisted and grinned at me.
Miyuki. Calm down.. I gotta think about this well.. if he stays then maybe something will get triggered?
"You know what, there's no getting out now. " I grabbed Yuukis hand and took him upstairs giving my mother a cold glare.
All she responded with was a big smile.
I thought about it and said to myself, "What if the same thing is gonna happen again.. but this time Hirath is gone... Please Hirath.. give me a sign. "
The thoughts of Hirath disappearing kept appearing through my mind and I realized I keep spacing out.

Yuuki was just looking at me with curious intentions, his eyes showed it all. He also seemed really defenseless by the way he sat.
"Miyuki-san.? Are you sure you're okay with me being here? You've been spacing out... "
"Yeah, It's fine. " I reply with a good chuckle.
I ask, breaking the silence, "You wanna eat something.? I think I have some snacks on the shelf... "
He waved his hands and said, "N-no thanks! I'm already at my limit from the food awhile ago haha. "
"O-oh.. Okay.. My mom didn't set up your bed.. nor bring it here... "
"Can't we just sleep on your bed.? " He quickly realizes and says, "I-I didn't mean it that way... "
"Yeah, I get it. I guess we can since theres no other way... "
"I can just sneak out you know.. — " Interrupting, "You cant! She'll look for you and ask you why you left... "
"Okay.. Excuse me... I'm getting on now... "
Embarrassed, I reply with, "You don't have to say it out loud!!"
He ignores me and says, "Hmm.. This pillow smells like you, can I use it?"
Flustered, I blush immensely and reply, "N-n-no! T-that's the one I mainly use! "
He laughs and says, "Okay, I won't. How about — " — "No! Absolutely not that one!"
"Okay, Okay. I'll just not use a pillow then. "
"That seems like a better solution. " I then tuck myself and Yuuki in and we both face the other way, blushing.
An eerie silence surrounded the atmosphere before Yuuki replied, "H-hey.. isn't it kind of hot.?"
"Y-yeah.. I think it's because of the air conditionder.. "
We both face each other but instead, we hit both our heads together. We said in unison, "Ow!"
"You okay, Yuuki?" I took advantage and said it first. Usually Kaito says it first..
"Why am I even remembering him?! I don't care about him! — "
"Huh.? I'm here again.? " I scratch my head in confusion.
"Hirath is not gone. Everything around you is false. Believe the boy as I sent him to you. " The Mysterious voice in the white chamber exclaimed.
"O-okay.. "
Then, I woke up and saw Yuuki beside me trying to wake me up.
"Miyuki-san! You're finally awake! I've been trying to get you to get up for 25 Minutes! You just suddenly fell asleep.. "
I noticed he was sweating and his shirt was wet.
I told him, "You should get changed before sleeping. "
"You're right. Really sorry, I'll use your clothes if thats fine. "
"Y-yeah.. it might be a little tight though. " I reply flustered.
"Should be okay for now, anyway what do you like about life? I mean, you were screaming things about it a while ago... " He asks, worried.
"W-well.. I lost someone important to me, I screamed in agony as she died... I'd rather not talk about it. " Scared he might be different, I shut down the conversation. Hoping he'll change the topic.
Yuuki changed and he dashed towards me and pinned me to my bed. He asked, "Hey, Miyuki-san, have you ever read the story named, The Young Author? "
I reply, blushing and uncomfortable, "No.. can we get out of this position..?"
"I'll show you what it's about. "
Suddenly, my vision went blank and heard rustling. I regained my vision and saw a new world.. It was as if I just arrived in a game, everything was cartoony and messed up... Rather, it was a bit realistic.
"Wow, Yuuki-kun.?" I exclaim.
He grabbed my hand and showed me around.
He first took me to the School, "This place is where the 16 Year old studied. He dropped out. "
I tried to speak but my vocals won't let me.
Then he dashed to a house, "The 16 Year Old stayed here and wrote books to reveal the dark secrets of society, sad to say it wasn't a success. The government took down the books. "
I finally got the energy to speak and asked him, "Where are we?! I'm scared! I wanna go back!!"
"Miyuki — " Everything went back to normal.. I felt it was cold, rather my clothes were gone...
Yuuki wasn't in the room. I wondered where he went.
Then, the room door opened, it was Yuuki-kun!
I shouted, "Ack! I need to change! Get out!" I stood up and pushed him away then locked the door.
I then ran to my closet and dug through the endless pile of clothes, sounds of rustles echoed through the corners of my room.
I change into one of my favorite outfits, It was the one I wore when Kaito first slept over...
I finish changing and tell him, "You can go in now!" I unlock the door and he bursts in.
I tell him, "Sorry, I needed to change first.. I didn't know where my clothes went... "
I noticed he just came from the bathroom, he asked, "Don't you remember? You told me you'd take a bath first and rushed out, then I told you I'll take a bath while you changed. I wondered why you still weren't done. "
"O-oh.. sorry.. I forgot. I think I spaced out. " I tell him, embarrassed.
"Don't worry. It happens. "
"Should we go to bed now.?" I ask him, a bit flustered.
He replies with a calm demeanor, "Yeah, I'll go on the right side, so you go first.
"Y-yeah.. that sounds right. "
"You know I don't have to stay right?"
"You have to though... "
"Do I have to or do you Want me to stay?"
"You have to! I-I'm not like that!" I covered my face in embarrassment.
"Mhm.. " Chuckling as he replied.
"Hmph! Don't talk to me anymore! " Annoyed, I shut him down.
"Come on, Miyuki-san, don't be like that. " He touched my shoulder and tried to get me to look at him but I didn't budge.
I took a small glance at him and he took the opportunity and pulled my face to his and told me, "Face someone when you're talking, Miyuki-san, it's rude if you don't. "
"I-I'm sorry... I'll — " He interrupts and say, "You have to know the punishments Miyuki-san. "
He poked my nose unexpectedly and my body jolted in surprise, "H-hey!! You don't have to do that, you know... "
He laughed and said, "Yeah, Yeah. Sorry. "
Then we both exchanged numbers and talked about space, we did share one thing in common atleast, I think things are going smoothly between us.. Or so I believe for now...
