Broken Moonlight (Yuki x OC)

Chapter 27

-Mizuki POV-

After Yuki picked me up from work, we walked to Tohru's work.
"Hello! Thanks for picking them up again!" said Momiji and ran off.

"He's so young" said Tohru. "But Momiji already knows what he wants to do"
"Really?" I asked.
"Did he tell you it might not be possible?" asked Yuki.

"Uhm... well, yes, he did" said Tohru.
"He's right" said Yuki. "Unfortunately. There's a lot we're struggling with"
"Yuki?" I asked and I stopped walking.

He turned around and smiled.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing, never mind" I said.

"Well, good night" said Yuki.
"Good night, see you in the morning" I said and got in my room.
'Yuki didn't tell us what he wants to do later... and it seems like he... he has no choice...'

I looked at my drawings that I made in art club.
I really want to be an art teacher...
I loved drawing more than anything... putting my emotions on paper, turning them into art.

"Mizu-chan?" Tohru knocked at my door.
I opened the door, Yuki was there too. "Is something wrong?"
"No" smiled Tohru. "Do you want to eat somen with us?"
"Somen? Where did that come from?" I asked and we walked down the stairs.

"Oh my! You know what they say about pink somen, right Kyo?" said Shigure when we started eating. "It puts you in the mood"
"Who says?" shouted Kyo.

"Me! Look out everyone! Kyo's feeling fisty!" laughed Shigure.
"Disgusting" said Yuki.
"He's obviously full of himself, you damn rat!" shouted Kyo.

I woke up the next night in cold sweat.
My throat hurt... so I must've screamed.
I hugged my knees and let the tears fall.

My door opened and someone sat down next to me.
The person laid a hand on my head, and I knew who it was.
"Miss Hirose, are you okay?" asked Yuki and I shook my head.

"No" I said. "But I will be fine in a few minutes. Sorry for waking you up"
"Hey, look at me" he said and I raised my head.
"I'm sorry" I said and dried my tears.

"It's okay, you didn't wake me up" he said. "I had a bad dream myself"
"You did?" I asked and he nodded.
I moved to the side of my bed, so he could lay next to me.

We looked at the ceiling and he held my hand under the blanket.
"Will you stay?" I asked.
"Of course" he said.
And before I knew it, I had fallen asleep again.

But I woke up, with Ayame's voice in the hallway...
Yuki was gone and I quickly got dressed. I put on Yuki's sweater, that he had given me a few months ago.
I ran downstairs and saw Yuki getting irritated.

"Get off of me!" I heard Yuki say and Ayame accidently ripped Yuki's shirt.
"Hey, if you're done yelling. Can we eat the peaches?" I heard Shigure ask.
"Good morning, Mizuki!" shouted Ayame and I covered my ears.

"Too early, for yelling" I said.
I walked to the living room and sat down at the table.
"I thought a gift of peaches would be a suitable follow up for crab I bought previously" said Ayame while he fixed Yuki's shirt. "Eat, savour it juicy fruitiness whilst I toy in the way. Feel free to express your gratitude"

"Oh, yes, thank you so much" said Tohru.
"Good girl" said Ayame. "Oh, Mizuki, while you're at it. Peel one for me"
"Don't talk to her like she's some kind of servant" said Yuki.

"I can't do it myself. Heavens no, just think about how sticky it would make my fingers" said Ayame.
"Do you even listen to the words that come out of your mouth?" asked Yuki.
"Worry not, Aya my sweet" said Shigure. "If you but ask my peach is yours for the taking"
