Before they arrived, the two decided to eat dinner at a restaurant near Akatsuki's apartment.
....
Akatsuki's apartment.
Deep into the night, a couple was sitting at a balcony on an apartment. While seeing the two can give you peace and serenity; it's the exact opposite for Haru. Haru was really nervous on what will happen next. But contrary to his expectations nothing special happened.
An hour passed; Haru decided to break the silence and have a conversation with Akatsuki.
"Akatsuki-san, can we go out for a walk?" Haru asked her. In fact, even if she refused Haru would still go out for a walk to clear his mind because too many things happened on a single day.
"Are you planning to do something to me?" Akatsuki asked while glaring at him.
"If I had such plans, then i'll do it here at your apartment, not outside" Haru answered confidently.
"Let's go then." She replied.
.....
11 pm.
Most of the people began to sleep. The night seems so peaceful, it was so quiet that yoi could hear the cold wind past through your face. Haru glanced beside him and saw Akatsuki holding her phone with a frown. He then stared at the nightsky with an ocean of stars and said to her; "Let's just enjoy ourselves for the time being. Tonight, the stars are ours." Haru said in a low voice that the only two of them could hear. Which basically doesn't make any sense because nobody can hear them. Huh, that's suspicious. Just kidding! Haru could hear his heartbeat grew rapidly by the second. He was clearly embarassed. He again casted a glance at Akatsuki and saw that she already put her phone on the pocket of her jacket. It was cold so Akatsuki wore a blue fitted jacket. The two pair of eyes suddenly met and their heartbeats began to thump like crazy! Haru, without thinking tried to hold hands with her as they were standing close to each other.
The back of their hands knocked on each other.
Once.
Twice
Haru had still not succeeded ater a long period of time.
When Akatsuki saw this, she grabbed Haru's hand and smiled charmingly at him. "Just this once, okay?"
When Haru saw this smile, he almost melted. He grasped tightly at her hand. Then after a few seconds, he felt that her hand was also tightly gripping his. They walked with their hands intertwined with each other. Haru will steal glances at her and sometimes their eyes would meet.
15 minutes had passed.
30 minutes had passed.
After the long awkward silence between the two; Akatsuki asked Haru, "Should we go back soon?"
"Yeah, let's head back now. Haru answered while yawning.
1 am.
After they got back to the apartment, Haru and Akatsuki sat down on the sofa feeling very exhausted. Akatsuki then went into her room and changed her dress into a nightcap.[1]
Akatsuki made her way into the living room and saw Haru who was watching t.v. and seemed that he has still full of energy.
"Do you want coffee?" Akatsuki asked him.
"It's fine, don't trouble yourself." Haru answered her.
She then sat on the right side of the sofa where Haru was on the left. Seeing Akatsuki in a nightcap suddenly made his head feel dizzy and millions of thoughts flashed through his brain.
After watching tv for a while, both of them started to feel sleepy. With his brain becoming sluggish because of his sleepiness, he held Akatsuki's hand while looking at her. As if was being jolted awake, the two of them didn't say anything. But Haru could still feel her hand in his.
"I'all let you gain some benefits." Akatsuki said at Haru.
Before he could say anything, he noticed that his arm was grabbed and felt a soft feeling in there. Haru could feel her heartbeat racing and Akatsuki could also hear his.
