#code number 7

From the moment she woke up on September 7 after falling asleep because of her illness, after that dream, everything felt strange. Of course, imagine dreaming for months and that in reality everything that happened in those months did not happen... or it hasn't happened yet.

Her suspicions that something was wrong were heightened when she saw something next to her when she woke up: it was something very similar to what Baku used to transform, but the colors were different: instead of being mainly black, it was white; And next to him was that capsem she had seen in his dream, the capsem of that nightmare she would have.

Nothing was making sense to Mizuki, but she knew that what he dreamed was something, and he only confirmed it when she went back to sleep and being in the dream world, she saw that transformation, she saw Seven transform into Catastrom, but... how could it be transformed into Catastrom? Had the same thing happened to him like her?

they crossed their gaze for a moment; she looking at the catastrom capsem, and he the driver that Mizuki had in her hand, it was obvious that apparently they both had the same dream, but that still did not explain the driver that Mizuki had.

She saw in him the afternoon of the day after the threat of the Bomb Nightmare was quickly over, they both knew perfectly well the changes they were making, and how that would affect fate; and that was certain what Baku planned, perhaps he was thinking of avoiding that fate.

And clearly Mizuki also wanted all of that to be avoided.

They saw each other on a rooftop, both sitting on a bench, now processing those months that had not really passed... and one more topic.

"Am I the only one who feels strange? I know that what we had was a dream but... I don't know." "Mizuki, well, at that moment Moon, still didn't process that dream, that kind of vision or warning of the future that could happen, and she wasn't the only one.

"You're not the only one with that feeling..." Seven replied, since he also felt that oddity of waking up and seeing that all those months hadn't really passed, and also that feeling of guilt for many things even though they had not yet happened, although that was not the only topic they would have to talk about. But just as he was about to bring up the subject, Moon beat him to it.

"Do you... know that now? "It was obvious what she meant, several times it was obvious that she fell in love with him, but at the end of that dream, vision, premonition, whatever it was, Seven should already realize that his partner had been in love with him for a long time.

The truth is that long before that dream, he felt something for Moon, although at that time he thought she was some product of his dreams, but that premonitory dream that confirmed to him that she was real, and partly what would happen, perhaps she could not continue to deny that he was falling in love with the excuse of 'she was not real', because... fuck, she was real, her feelings for him were real.

"Yes... I know," he answered, and when she turned to look at him, he saw that fear and doubt in her eyes, as if she was waiting for rejection. He sighed and ran a hand through her hair, trying to organize everything and not make too many confusions. "Well, I know now that you were always someone real, and not a companion from my imagination."

"Zero made me hide it until you were ready, but I feel that maybe he just did it so he could continue manipulating us, we don't know well anymore" Moon was partly right, they didn't know if the Zero they knew turned out to be all a lie, a personality invented so that they would trust him and CODE's decisions "Maybe I often raised my eyebrow with the few things I knew, what you told me you did with Zero confirms a lot of the dream, and that maybe my sixth sense was right..."

"In fact..." As soon as Moon heard that, she turned to look at him, waiting for whatever he was going to say "Look, I don't know how to explain it, but... I was also feeling something for you." Hearing that clearly, Moon opened her eyes, and was going to speak, but she was interrupted by Seven who had not finished speaking yet "I denied those feelings because I thought maybe it was dumb to be in love with someone who maybe didn't exist, but you exist, you are real."

Moon was starting to blush, she didn't expect that her love would probably be reciprocated, but she wanted to confirm it completely, she moved a little closer, and took his hand before asking: "So you weren't in love with Nem?"

Seven was not surprised that Moon asked him that, but remembering what he saw in that premonitory dream, and knowing her with it, it was understandable that he would seek confirmation, so he said:

"I believed it too, I denied those feelings for you, I thought it was foolish and I thought I was really in love with Nem, but I only changed the face because at that moment, you're both the same but in a different way: something unattainable" He took a small pause, and then continued talking "But after that dream, and seeing it now, you never were"

"And neither you, Baku." The fact that she was calling him by his real name at that moment, and not the one from his dream world self , startled him a little, but then he let out a sigh that was also a small laugh.

"Yes, we're both actually quite ordinary, Mizuki." He decided to call her by her real name now, and noticed how her cheeks grew more rosy.

"Well, I think then..." She brought her face closer to his, leaving enough space for him to pull away if he didn't want to; but he didn't, so Mizuki closed the distance between them and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips, then looked away shyly. "I think with that I could say we're a couple now."
