I finished up my homeworks and it's currently 9 pm. I walked outside my room and to my left is Rika-nee's room and next to it is her office.
I walked up to it and notice that the door is slightly open. "Oh... It's open" I excused myself and enter.
I see my sister on her couch passed out after 2 bottles of wine. I then notice that Amasawa-Sensei is not with her. I look around the room and notice that my sister's balcony window is open.
I walk close to it and move the blinds away and saw Amasawa-Sensei outside looking at the starry sky. I breath in and out then after mustering up my courage I walked up to her.
"Amasawa-Sensei?" I called out to her. She heard it and turns around. As she turns, her long silky hair flow beautifully and her eyes on my eyes connect. This sight is so.... Breathtaking, I thought.
"Hi-Ren-kun?... Did you need something?" she ask. I then got out of my thoughts. "Oh nothing really..." I blush and then notice something.
"W-wait a minute... Did you just called me by my given name?" I said with my eyes surprised.
"I-I did..." she continued while blushing. "I thought that, if I call you by your given name then I won't get confused with you and your sister" she finish.
"Oh that makes sense, then in that case can I..." I look back at her nervously and said "... Call you by your given name too?" I ask her feeling a bit nervous.
She giggles at the thought of me calling her by her given name. "ehehe, you do realised that calling your teacher by their given name is very rude right" she gives a soft smile while I just apologise. "I'm sorry then." I look down.
"Y-you can call me... " She said but I couldn't hear the last part.
"I'm sorry but, what did you say?" I ask her to repeat. She looks up and just says "Call me by my given name, I want you to call me Miku!" she says with her eyes closed and embarrassed.
There was silance for a moment but I break it and said. "Ok th-then... Miku-chan." I said nervously. She looks up and pouts. "Huh! Why did you add -Chan at the end of my name!?" she complains.
"I thought that it would sound cute, you know?" I said. She lit up abit and just sighs "Fine then... I'll allow it" she said and smiles abit.
I felt relieved after seeing that smile. It was silent again, and every thing felt very awkward. I then notice that she is looking at the sky again. I look up at the sky to see what she is thinking about the veiw.
"it's beautiful right?..." I ask her. She looks at the sky in awe and said "There is so many stars tonight huh?" she said while still staring at the starry sky.
"You know..." I said and grabbed her attention. "... My sister sometimes call me here to this balcony every time whenever the stars out to stargaze, and everytime I do... I end up falling asleep, but somehow I always wake up in her bed." I look down wondering how.
Miku then laughs and said. "Do you always sleep everytime stargazing?" I giggled at her question. "Well not all the time." I said
The silance was back and I wanted to ask her a question that's been on the top of my head after today's event.
"Hey... There's something I've been meaning to ask yo-" as I was about to ask her, she cuts me off mid-sentance. "Listen... There's something I want to apologise for..." she said while I just give a quizzical look.
"what is it?" I ask. "I've been so out of character today ever since this morning." she said while playing with her hair.
"Well I didn't know because I bearly know you and we just met.." I said. Miku then sighs in realising this.
"I know it's just, my whole life... There's something that's been bothering me, nearly all the time... And also there's that one problem that I hate the most, but I don't want to get into that one... " she mumbles about someone that is related to her. I'm rather worried, is she okay with her life right now?
I gently hold her hand on the railing. She then blush due to my approach.
"Ren.... Kun?" She call while looking directly into my eyes. She then looks away.
I need to tell her, I can't stop now! "Ama-" I stop a moment and shake my head "Miku-chan... Whatever is bothering you right now, I'll help." she lit up and turns around to face me.
"You don't have to go through whatever it is all on your own, if your scared... I'll be there, if your hurt... I'll heal you, if your down... I'll pick you up." I said and breath in. And at that moment Miku's eyes were getting teary.
"Wh-what are you even saying, what do you mean that I don't have to go through everything on my own?" she ask while tears flowing down her cheeks.
Nows the time Ren, don't delay the question... Like I did before. "I'm saying that, I want to stay by your side because." She looks at me with her eyes wide open and tears are flowing around her eye lids.
"Because I love you! And I won't let you get hurt just because no ones there to help! I'll never ever leave you unless you push me away!" I said it... Its done, is she willing to go out with me? I was so nervous that I open one of my closed eyes and notice that she is crying.
Did... Did I do something to make her cry! I'm so stupid! Why did I do what I did?!
Just then she pulled me into a warm embrace and bury her head on my chest hoping to wipe off her tears.
"Mi-Miku-chan? Di-" I was then inturupted by her. "Do you..." she looks up to face me and continues "... Do you mean all of that?"
Her reaction was enough for me to know her answer. "Every single word... I promise, I'll make it a easier life for you. So please..." I lift her chin and bring it close to my face. "... Don't worry about anything, let me carry that burden with you" I said with a soft reassuring smile.
We then close the distance of our face and reach for a kiss.
But something had to ruin the moment and it was Rika-nee's loud sleep talking.
"REN-KUN, GIVE BIG SISTER SOME LOVE!" She says while kissing the couches pillows.
We then sigh in relief knowing that she didn't hear anything about my confession with my teacher. We giggled after that and talked more outside.
Maybe things won't always be that bad.
Ren and Miku's mind:
If I stay by her side / if I stay by his side
Will things get better? / will I be able to forget about her?
I really love her / I really love him
We...
Need...
To keep this relationship
