Not long after, I then found myself under the rain holding hands with someone. He was looking at me with apologetic eyes that made me confused. The little hairs on his forehead sticking onto his skin because of the rain while my eyes blinked the drops away.

His hand goes up to my face, caressing it so softly like I was going to break just by a more slightly forceful movement. He leans in closer and planted a chaste kiss on my forehead. He pulls away with a tear visibly streaming down his cheek along with the other raindrops that fell down on his face.

“I’m sorry”, he said, walking away and left me cold, drenched…alone. I couldn’t process the sudden events, sinking down to my knees and cried harshly that anyone can hear but I couldn’t care less.

yuta.

The movie was already rolling down the credits before I even knew it. I sighed, putting my hands in the air to stretch until I felt weight on my shoulder. I look over to my side to hear her snoring. The corner of my lips pulled up thinking how just precious and peaceful she looked in her slumber.

I grabbed the remote and turned the television off. Carefully, I wrapped my arm around her back to assist her followed by my other arm carrying her body. I brought us to an open door leading to our shared room. Closing it my foot, I took a few more steps to place her on the bed gently. I brought the covers up below her neck to keep her warm.

I was gonna walk towards the closet to change when I felt her grab my arm. I looked back at her to see tears running down her cheeks.

“Y-Yuta wh-why did you leave me?”, she said in-between hiccups and it made my heart melt. Another bad dream.

I sneaked up beside her, getting under the covers and wrapping my arm around her waist. She turns to face me, hugging me tighter as she continued to sob on my chest. I hummed a tune to help her calm down as I soothed her back up and down.

Her tears had soon stopped. Her breath was even and still against my neck. She snored quietly as I let out a chuckle. I kissed her forehead and said, “I ought to take you out of those nightmares and give you a good dream to remember. Even if it means risking my life. I love you”.

In reality, I could never leave her alone in the cold. I will always be by her side to warm her up despite the strong rain outside our home. Our love.
