Terushima x Misaki (A Short Story)

Yuuji x Misaki (A short story)

It was a gloomy Saturday night. I was outside, in our balcony waiting for the rain to pour as I rub my tummy and felt a kick inside. Yes, there is a growing baby inside me. I am pregnant, and Yuuji is the father.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Yuuji and I were best friends since we were kids. Our mothers were best friends and that would automatically mean that me and Yuuji would also be best friends. We went to the same school during our grade school years. We were always together, until we entered High School.

We went to different schools. Met new friends, met new teachers, met new life, but we still tried our best to keep our communication in touch. He always greeted me good morning and good night everyday. He never forgets to remind me to eat meals and never skip it. He takes care of me whenever I get sick even if he's miles away from me; and for some reason, I didn't realize I am starting to fall in love with my best friend.

I wanted to tell him about how I feel towards him, but I was afraid that he might not feel the same way as I am. We were best friends and I don't want to ruin that special relationship we have just because i love him. I don't want to complicate things between us.

------------------------------------------------------------

It was Christmas Eve. Both Yuuji's family and my family have this tradition that we will celebrate this special occasion together. This time, we celebrated it at our house. I was so excited because it's been quite a while since I last saw Yuuji in person. I wanted to meet him so bad and maybe confess about my feelings for him.

*ding dong*

"I'll get it." I yelled and ran to open up the door. I opened it and saw Mrs. Terushima smiling at me.

"Tita, you're here," I said as I hugged her tight.

"Hana, you're back. I'm sure Yuuji will be pleased to see you again" she said rubbing my back with her hand.

I pulled away from the hug and looked behind Tita Yui, "Where's Yuuji?" I asked.

"I don't know" Tita Yui said "He said he'll come after getting something or was it someone, I'm not sure."

"Oh well, uhm come inside."

Tita Yui came inside and greeted my mom. They went to the dining room to help my mom arranged the table for the Christmas Eve celebration.

Hours passed and I heard the door bell rang again. I bursted it open and saw Yuuji, I was about to jumped at him for a hug when I saw a girl clunging on his arm.

"Hana," Yuuji said "Meet Yukie, my girlfriend."

I was shocked and don't know how to react, so I just forced a smile and guided them to get inside the house. As I closed the door, my chest tightens and I want to cry but I forced myself not to because it'll just ruin the mood this evening.

I eventually joined them at the dining table where everything is now settled and we will just have to wait until the clock strikes midnight to sing Christmas Carols and have a toast for the birth of our Saviour.

------------------------------------------------------------

Months passed and Yuuji stopped communicating with me. I do accept that he has a girlfriend now but the fact that he has forgotten about me, I just can't handle it. For months, I've been trying my best not to contact Yuuji first cause I might annoy him, until one day, one of his friends chatted me and told me that Yuuji is drunk somewhere in a bar. I searched the name of the bar that his friend gave me and good thing it's just near as to where my apartment is located. I hurriedly grabbed my jacket, put it on and went to the bar that his friend mentioned.
