~~~~~~~~
A bicycle bell resounded in the streets of the city.
"ding ding."
Two people fastly rode the bike, one of them was the boy who's taking charge of pedaling, while the other was a girl, sitting on the bar in front of him, as she happily yelled, "Faster!"
Hearing her, I pedaled even faster, that my feet aren't visible to the eye anymore, but the laughing girl still pleaded for more speed.
'What the heck is wrong with this girl? Miku almost vomited at half this speed! If I went a little faster, fire going to lit up the tire!'
Moving down the city, they passed grand glass buildings, parks, restaurants, and even historical relics; Yami had the workout of his life. If his body parts weren't professionally trained, he would've passed out midway.
But even he had enough of the trip and tried to take a rest, circulating his eyes around while draining sweat all over Ai's back, he spotted a street candy shop.
'Great! I can use that as an excuse to rest.'
I leaned a little bit and whispered, "Would you like some floss ?"
She turned her head to look at me before saying, "Candy? I-i didn't bring any cash."
"Pft! It's alright; I'm paying." I chuckled, waving my hand.
"Ok then," she said, smiling towards me.
We waited for the earlier customers to get their orders before our turn finally arrived.
Yami asked Ai about her preference, but she just responded with, "Whatever you picked for yourself will be good for me too,"
Yami didn't argue, directly proceeding to ask the little shop owner for a dark chocolate bar and two cotton candy sticks.
He then paid the price and walked off to the bike.
I gave the girl a stick and leaned on a wall beside the shop, eating my sweet candy.
the whole time we been there; none of us spoke a word; nevertheless, I stole quick peeks at her, and she was wolfing the candy-like it's some kind of delicacy.
However, time was getting late, and the Haruka household was far from this place, so I decided that it's enough for today, muttering, "Where do you live? I'll drop you off"
She frowned but soon switched to a casual smile, uttering, "It's ok, I still don't want to go home yet, but I would like to see where do you live."
"Hm?" I got confused. However, I was too tired to refute anything, only thinking about the long road and the extra weight I need to carry.
Face palming; I announced, "Sure."
Dragging my feet, We hit the road yet again, and after two hours of contentious labor, I finally reached the Haruka house.
"This is it," I pointed my finger to the little villa-like house beside us.
Her eyes glinted with a violet sparkle before she tapped me in my shoulder and jumped from the bike, humming a melody while she leisurely walked off.
"Where are you going?" I asked, but she didn't reply back.
'W-what the heck? Where is she going alone?'
I Scratched my head, feeling perplexed about the girl's eccentric behavior, yet, a notification assured me that everything went well.

"That was fast!" I said as I walked to the house, going straight to my room.
I leaped on my bed, feeling my legs crampin as I heavily sighted, before giving up the shackles of sleep.
Still, a certain somebody in the room downstairs didn't have the same luxury, as her mind was battered from the black flux of thoughts, sleeplessly making her constantly switch positions on her big pink bed.
Questions like, "Why would he humiliate me in front of that girl?."
"Who's she?"
"What's their relation?" Kept popping in her head.
She surprisingly felt and experienced something new today.
Her eyes were red from the bothering hostility, as the rising adrenaline numbed the pain that was coming from her neck, 'I, The girl that has been admired by thousands of people nearly my whole life, got treated like unwanted junk!'
Before, she finally couldn't disregard it anymore and stood up in the middle of the night, strolling to the forgotten cursed room situated in the house's final story.
Step after step, she unhurriedly walked in the lull of the white moon twilight, in fear of waking up her parents.
A faint door push reverberated in Yami's room, followed by a rush of air, as a gorgeous girl wearing a blue nightgown secretly trudged inside.
She glanced around and saw the vicious boy, quietly sleeping on his mattress.
Hesitantly, moving closer to the bed, she took a deeper peek at him, looking wretched on the way from the hateful but at the same time affectionate emotions.
Her hands reached out to his neck but retracted after a few inches.
The earlier incident left a bitter taste on her mouth; she got tainted, reviled, humiliated. For the sake of some vague feelings, And Even after enduring all that, the only reward was a weird invading sense of betrayal.
She wanted to suffocate his soul out of hos body, but after getting this close, her resolve instantly faded.
The ambient air suddenly twirled, and Miku's eyes suddenly got watery; crying was the only escape left to vent such injustice.
Sobbing beside him, the light sleeper woke up from the noise.
He opened half an eye, looking down at the girl, trying her best to wipe her eyes.
'Narcos, What is going on here?' Yami shockingly asked.
'What? You are telling me all the bad things I inflicted on her body; these past few months were secondary to just a proclamation to go home by hereself? Is this girl brainless?'
—
I unexpectedly rose up from my stratum-like bed and quizzed in a cold tone, "What are you doing here? And why are you crying?"
Hearing my words, she faltered back, rebounding on the wall with a thud, the evident panic put an end to her cry, leaving a stunned young girl.
'What should I do now?' I asked Narcos. To me, the situation was trickier than what it looked like.
Thinking about narcos idea, I sighted and cooled down my voice, speaking relatively softer, "No worries, just come closer, can you? I won't bite."
My orders were absolute in her ears; stepping closer to my bed, even though she was frightened, my punishment was even scarier to her.
Standing in front of me, her head was held low, crossing her fingers in front of her stomach as she waited for my upcoming "punishment."
But it never came; I just patted the side of the bed with my hand, placidly saying, "Would you like to sleep beside me tonight?"
Speechlessly moving her gaze up, she subconsciously chimed, "What?"
"I said, I will let you S-l-e-e-p beside me, ok?"
She thought about my words for a short period before she nodded her head without lifting her eyes, blindly reaching her sleek slender hands to my cover as I moved a little bit back.
Going in, she slept on the far edge of my bed, shaking from time to time, as her skin reddened and her throat withered .
And it didn't take me longer to reach her arms.
"Hm?!" she rang, startled.
"Shh, nothing going to happen to you," I confidently assured, moving even nigher, entangling my brash hands onto her waist, bringing her closer to my body.
Hence, I felt like her heat rose upon the slight touch, heavily inhaling air; however, I didn't have any attention to continue my game.
And before I knew it, her breathing stabilized, and she reluctantly slept using my arm as a pillow.
'Phew! That was hard! Now let's take some rest too.'
