I sat on the roof, the night was still and it felt as though all time were frozen. But, I knew it wasn't. Something as fragile as time couldn't.. or more accurately, shouldn't be tinkered with.
I sat up, my eyes grazing over the full silver moon. My eye taking it and all of its beauty in. It's silvery strands of light caressed my body as I lay there in the comforting mass of light.
My eyes close as I feel a rush of wind go past be, carrying by the sweet aroma of cherry blossoms. It was a nice break from the overwhelming smell of Sake that always drafted around me. I took a deep breath, keeping my eyes closed as I enjoy the sweet air.
But, it doesn't last long, after a minute, it vanishes. Just like everything else in this cruel world.
I toss my dark locks over my shoulder, opening my eyes. I resume laying on the roof, gazing up at the dark sky.
It was so dark. It almost seemed that if I wasn't careful, I could get sucked into that darkness. Becoming one with it.
Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing.. Living in a world full of darkness..
That sounds better than living in a bloodthirsty world that only craved power. A world that turns the other cheek to the people that really need help.
This world is awful.
I'm awakened from my thoughts as I hear someone climbing up the roof to join me.
'It's him.' My mind tells me, making me relax. I had been hoping to see him. He's the only one I really want to see anymore.
"Minato?" I call out to him, a small smile gracing my lips.
I see his head poke up from the side of the house, "Hey, Kazehana." He says, his cheeks rosy and a smile spread across his face.
I laugh softly, "Do you have a reason for coming up here? I never took you for a roof kind of guy." I say, tilting my head a bit to watch his expression.
Minato chuckles, rubbing the back of his head, seeming a bit nervous. "Y-Yeah, I actually just came to check up on you. You had been up here a while and I wanted to make sure you were doing okay." The dark haired male says gently, his cheeks still glowing a beautiful crimson color. He's really a precious gem lost in a sea of falsified stones.
I sigh, adding a smile to the end of it, "Aren't I the one who's supposed to worry about you? I mean, you are my ashikabi after all." I giggle a little, but on the inside, I'm very happy that he's worrying about me. "But, Thank you, Minato. I appreciate it."
I notice that his cheeks are flooding with even more color than usual, which makes me happy. He looks up at me, with his awkward and goofy grin that I adore so much. It makes butterflies flit around my stomach.
.. or maybe it's all that Sake I had drank earlier.
I'm about to talk to Minato again when I begin to feel faint. "M-Minato, I-" Before I could finish my sentence to my ashikabi, I feel my whole body become hot as I black out.
When I wake up, I realize I'm not in my own bed. Where was I? What had even happened? What time was it?
I look out the window to see it's still dark.
I sit up and discover a sleeping Minato slumped in a chair, his position in the chair looking extremely uncomfortable. It wasn't until then when the memories started coming back.
I apparently had developed a fever and had passed out. Without thinking, Minato had carried me down into his room where we spent the night.
My lips turn upwards into a smile. It made me beyond happy that he had concerned himself with me. I look over at him and then gently pull him into the bed so he could be more comfortable.
I realized it would be an awkward misunderstanding if someone were to come in and see Minato and I in the same bed. So, I carefully move to the floor.
But before I do, I make sure to plant a soft kiss on Minato's lips. Then, I retire to the floor.
Right before I fell asleep, I hear Minato mumble the soft words, "Goodnight, Kazehana." and with that, we both fell into a peaceful sleep.
