Chapter 11,
Return
Koshiro's POV
I woke up and realized something, I was back to my home and everything was just a dream. It's a relief. I remembered my rice so I came down hastily to check it. I was shocked by what I saw. It's Hiruki! Why is he in my house?!
"Ah, uhm. . . you're awake? I came to tell you something but the door was open. Sorry for intruding, " he said anxiously.
"Oh, it's fine. What do you have to tell me? " he nodded.
"Its already night. You should eat. I just thought of helping you cook. Here it is. I'll tell it to you tomorrow later, " he said pointing at the food at the table that looks real yummy.
"Oh, it's already late?! Anyway, how'd you get here? " I asked full of curiosity.
"I drove by car. I came alone, " ha said with a soft tone.
"Your home is quite far, right? " he nodded. "How about staying for the night? There's school tomorrow, " his face looked red.
"Yoi have a fever? " I added.
"N-No, I'm fine, " he answered.
"Eat with me, " I ordered him.
He took a plate and ate with me. He also helped me wash dishes and our clothes. He's still wearing his uniform. He isn't as weird as people think. He was just forced to join the club because his family are the one who created many games already
"I think you should be the one sleeping in the bed," Hiruki said shyly.
"This could be bad, " I feel my face heat up.
"Why?" he asked.
"I can't find my futons, " his face turned crimson red.
"Is it okay? " I ask him.
He nodded and gave space to me. Don't worry, Koshiro, he's a guy. Nothing weird might happen. I hope so. I lay down beside him in the bed and took the blanket. He's on the left side while I'm on the right idea of the bed.
*Morning*
I woke up and realized something. Something's entangled on me! I saw Hiruki hugging his hand on my waist while his head is in my abdomen. I feel bad about pushing him away. After stating at his face for a while, my alarm suddenly started to scream it's melody and Hiruki woke up.
He suddenly pulled his hand away, "sorry, I was used to hugging my pillow while asleep. I didnt mean anything weird, " he apologizes.
"I don't mind, really, " I waved my hand.
"I'll be cooking rice now. Call me if you need anything, " he nodded.
"Oh, by the way, you can wear my uniform. It's right there at the first cabinet, " I said looking back at him.
I started to wash the rice the turned the rice cooker on. When I went to the room to take my clothes, Hiruki already placed two at the bed. One for me, and one for him. The bed is also fixed and the floor is already cleaned.
"I cleaned it for you, " I smiled at him.
"I'll go shower first, " I said while going to the shower.
After I showered, I got out to wear my clothes. I was shocked by something. I forgot, Hiruki's at home.
"Uhm. . . Koshiro? " he awkwardly asked.
"Ah, sorry. I was used to it," I get my face burns.
"Its okay, we're both guys after all," I was shocked by what he said. What was I thinking?!
After going out of the shower, I went to check on the rice. It was cooked so I cooked some Weiners and hotdogs for our lunch and Sunnyside up eggs for breakfast. I prepared another lunchbox for Hiruki to eat at. I also messaged his parents saying he will be staying here and Kian that Hiruki will be taking me to school. After a while after cooking the food, Hiruki came down from the stairs after I called him down to eat. After eating, we prepared to go to school then left.
*School*
"Koshiro, we're here, " I was awakened by Hiruki's voice while I was staring at the view on the way to school.
"Oh, thanks, " I said not believing that it took us that fast to get here.
On the way not many students are there yet. Not Kian and her friend, nor Gin. I guess we're a little too early. We went to the classroom and realized one thing, Hiruki was sitting next to Gin's desk.
"Koshiro, Good Morning. Your early than usual, " I heard a familiar voice. It's Gin.
"Well, I had Hiruki to drive me here, I guess? " I laughed obviously faked.
"Huh? Hiruki? " I nodded.
"He slept with me yesterday, " I sighed.
"So, you two already—Ouch!" I clicked him with my finger.
"Weirdo," I stated.
*Lunch*
"Koshiro-sama, what's for lunch? Onegaii, Gimme'! " Gin implored.
"No!" I rejected him.
"Let's go, " I ordered him.
††"Hai, Koshiro-sama! " he chuckled.
"Hiruki, I got your lunch. Come with me, " what I said drew almost everyone's attention to us.
"Huh?! Hiruki, your desk is right beside mine?! " Gin asked surprised.
"Let's go, " I said one more time.
*Canteen*
"Everyones complete, " Fudo cleared his throat.
"Oh, I have something to say, " Hiruki raised his hand.
"No. Rejected, " Mana and Maria said together making Hiruki speechless.
"What is it? " I asked making everyone fell shocked.
"It's about a certain dream I had. Koshiro, Goro and Gin was there. Don't you guys remember anything or something like that? " he asks shyly.
"Not really, " Goro and Gin said at the same time.
"Anyway, Hiruki and I are in the same class?! " Gin bragged.
"What the hell are you saying? Everyone her knows that, " Mana's brows furrowed.
They changed the subject without hesitation. Wait! I'm recalling something!
"The dream, " stated not thinking properly making the others look at me.
"You're still at it? " Gin asks.
"Hiruki, what Capital are you from and Magic do you have? " I asked Hiruki not giving a care about the others making Hiruki shocked.
"Seriously? What are you guys talking about? " Maria asked annoyed.
"The Neutral Land. Light and Dark Magic, " Hiruki answered my questions.
"Maybe sleeping with each other made you guys like that? Have you two lost it? " Gin said shocking everyone.
"Koshiro, what does he mean?" Fudo asks.
"We just had a sleepover, " I gladed at them leaving them speechless and stunned.
"You're right about the dream. In my dream, I was from the Capital of the Archers. I was with Goro, " I said making the others annoyed.
"Have the game taken over your reality? " Kenji slammed the table shocking us.
"It's no lie!" Everyone was more shocked because Hiruki raised his voice, "i was the one who helped Goro when he was attacked along with Koshiro and his friends."
"When the monster from experiment 'Mirai' gone loose?! The one who shoot light magic?! " he nodded.
"That's when I was saving Koshiro, Haru and the others that time at the school! The time I revealed that I was the Prince of Knights! " Goro suddenly spoke.
"So, how about you, Gin? You seemed like you're the only one who knows nothing, " Fudo stated.
"Actually, I can't remember everything but thers a time I remember. The time I was entering the gate to the Capital of the Knights, " he snapped his finger.
"So I wasn't imagining things!" They directed their gaze to me, "you're the one who came before me! From the capital of the Sorcerers! " Gin was shocked then nodded.
"Maybe that wasn't a dream. What if we actually was there? " Wonder filled me.
"Goro, I have a plan, let's explore every capital, " I suggested.
"Hmm? Why? " He gave a questioned look.
"There's a possibility that everyone here became a Knight and they're not conscious yet. Maybe they became conscious when we came in contact with each other." I added.
"That's a good idea. We'll loose nothing from trying. Besides, I want to travel, too, " Gin said while eating, "but before, I'm where you are. At an inn that has a cat in it's sign. " he added.
"Well then, it's decided? " Fudo asks.
"Let's just go with that, " I spoke as I ate my breakfast.
"Koshiro, I'm jealous. Why do you have to cook Hiruki lunch? " Gin stated leaving the whole table quiet and speechless.
"I-It doesn't mean anything weird, I promise! " I persuades them.
"You sure? " Goro asks.
"You give Hiruki food. How about us? You never gave me what you cook, " he said fumed.
"Does Hiruki have special privilege or something?" Gin never stops.
"N-No. He wouldn't have lunch if I didn't cook. Besides, my cooking might be worse, " I said waving my hand as a form of disapproval.
"Let me try first," his brows furrowed.
I took the weiner and fed it to Gin, "Liar. It delicious, Koshiro, " my brows furrowed not believing him.
Gin took a lot from my lunchbox and distributed it to the others, "are you planning to give me some?" I gladed at him.
"Gomenasai, Koshiro-sama! " Gin bowed saying sorry to me.
"You can have some of mine," Hiruki reached his hand to me handing his weiners.
"Is it okay?" he smiled.
I took some and ate together with them. Somehow, our bond as friends became more and more stronger this time. I want this to continue forever.
