your pov
three .
two .
one .
and the clock struck midnight .
how many nights in a row was that ?
ah well .
you didn't know .
but that doesn't matter .
haven't you been here before ?
done this before ?
don't think on that .
it'll stress you .
you only had six hours until you were expected to get up for school .
how wonderful is that ?
you open your eyes from your pitiful attempt at sleeping .
you sigh , looking around your room .
huh ?
why's it so dark ?
you never shut your blinds .
so why isn't the moonlight and starlight shining through ?
how odd .
you look to your window .
and freak .
"what the fuck ?!
who the hell are you ?!
what are you doing in my window ?!
how the actual hell did you get up here ?!
I'm on the third floor that's not possible ! "
all were valid questions .
there ,
in your open window ,
was a purple haired boy , with a blue rose held gently .
blue ?
the hell ?
those aren't natural .
what a strange man .
a strangely familiar man .
in your window .
that's uh-
threatening .
well it would be .
but .
he brought you a sense of comfort .
like you know him from somewhere .
he chuckles .
" so many questions from such a lovely lady . "
he steps into your room .
you back away .
you feel oddly exposed in your pyjama vest and shorts .
you pull your duvet over yourself .
it provided some cover .
he simply smiles .
looks like a cat smile .
you've done this before .
you know that .
this man was getting odder and odder .
" the answer to those questions . "
he pauses .
" there isn't an answer . "
he chuckles at your lacking response .
" I'm simply joking .
I noticed that you were having some trouble sleeping .
I'm here to help my dear . "
help ?
" yea like I'd accept help from some strange man who appeared in my window .
I don't even know your fucking name .
you wouldn't even be able to help anyway . "
he steps closer to you .
" my name ?
such a simple thing the lady wishes to know .
Kamishiro Rui .
I'm a baku . "
baku ?
what on gods green earth is a baku ?
he chuckles .
the more you hear it .
the more it grows on you .
ringing the same comforting familiarity .
" I protect people whilst they sleep ,
so they can dream easily ,
and not have any terrible nightmares . "
what is this ?
some bad work of fiction ?
you'd heard of baku's .
not by name .
but you knew of them .
and were oddly familiar with .
this constant Deja vu .
it fucked with you .
Baku were a big part of your country's myths after all .
he moves closer , taking your hand in his ,
kissing your knuckles delicately .
" my dear lady .
you are having trouble sleeping tonight yes ?
in that case .
allow me to cast a simple spell .
here , let's make a pinky promise . "
he holds his hand out ,
waiting .
waiting for you to accept his offer .
or decline .
hesitantly .
you make a pinky promise with the baku .
he smiles .
drowsy .
you felt terribly drowsy .
you simply lay down .
Rui sits beside you .
your holding his hand tightly .
" if you have a scary dream .
simply tell me .
I'll rid it for you .
no more worries tonight .
forget all those terrible things .
and rest in peace . "
what ?
you couldn't have heard that right surely .
rest in peace ?
you'd heard those words before .
will this horrible Deja vu just go away !?
ah .
think on it tomorrow .
Rui runs his thumb over the back of your hand .
with his comfort ,
you doze off to a peaceful slumber .
yet again .
you lay in your bed .
unable to sleep .
how irritating .
you still don't understand what Rui had meant .
honestly .
even with the bad sense of comfort and familiarity .
right now you'd kill for Rui to help you sleep once more .
" does my lady have another request ? "
there ,
sat in your window .
was the man you were just thinking of .
with his usual smile .
" I won't refuse of course . "
he sits on the bed beside you .
he gently places his blue rose behind your ear .
" rest easy my dear lady . "
and once more .
with his comforting hand stroking your soft (H/C) hair .
you doze off into yet another peaceful slumber .
this continued for months .
you learnt more about what kind of person Rui is .
and had ,
regrettably ,
fallen in love with the Baku .
hah .
someone warned you against this .

Rui appeared in your window once more .
" good eve my lady . "
you smile , face aflush with pink seeing him .
today , he didn't sit by you .
he stood beside your bed , which you were sat on the edge of .
tilting your head up to face him with his hand .
" you have something to tell me , don't you my lady ? "
you simply nod .
you knew there was no way he could possibly love you back .
so you take a blue rose from your beside table .
passing it to him .
you watch as realization kicks in on his face .
blue roses .
they do ,
after all ,
mean unrequited love .
how amusing .
he seemed to be thinking hard on something .
you take a deep breath .
" I'm sorry . . . "
he simply chuckles .
did he find this amusing ?
he tilts you head up once more .
your (E/C) eyes locked with his golden eyes .
" your wanting to sleep correct my lady ? "
you give a small nod .
trying to stop the tears welling up .
" I won't refuse my dear .
because this is what truly makes me happy .
in that case , let's make a promise with a kiss . "
his hand holds the back of your head .
and he leans close .
you can feel his breath upon your lips .
but he didn't kiss you .
the two of you remained frozen .
his lips mere millimetres from your own .
it was oddly comforting .
but by now .
you should know what I'm about to say .
all good things must come to an end .
he parts from the comforting embrace .
he stands before you .
he seems frustrated with something .
" I can't do this (Y/N) "
huh ?
he used your name .
but you never told him it ?
he's so strange .
and yet you love him .
it's ok .
he won't hurt you .
that's why he didn't kiss you .
" I can't kiss you . I want to . but I can't . "
you tilt your head .
confused .
but before the question could leave your lips .
he answers .
" my kiss (Y/N) ,
it's poison .
I love you too .
but I can't act upon my desire to kiss you .
because then .
then I'll lose you . "
you knew his kiss was lethal .
but you would always be tempted .
Rui only smiles , laying down and laying you upon his chest .
you can hear his heart beat .
it's soothing .
you play with his hair .
the blue streak was somewhat amusing to you .
how it still blended in with the purple with similar cool tones .
but it was still noticeable .
his golden eyes .
they were so .
so attractive .
you could stare into them for pure hours .
" I'll still help you sleep my love . "
his voice was soothing .
it sends chills down your spine .
calming .
" I could never leave you to struggle alone like that .
I'll watch over you as always . "
he gives you a smile .
his usual cat like smile .
the smile that you had become infatuated with .
absolutely enamoured .
" I love you Rui . "
you mumble , placing your face in the crook of his neck .
" I know (Y/N) . "
he pauses .
" and I love you more than anything my beloved . "
and in his arms ,
you doze off as normal .
here .
you see the girl again .
again ?
yes again .
you'd met her before .
you don't know where .
she speaks to you .
not out loud .
just through your head .
your welcome .
I'm here to bid farewell .
I got you your happy ending .
you nearly messed up .
but .
be glad I was watching .
I was able to stop him .
you are welcome for that .
after all (Y/N) ,
this is what you wanted .
