Tasuya kept his strong, yet soft, grip on Reika. It all felt familiar and scary in a way, and even though he couldn't quite understand why, he was actually happy that he was the one to comfort her. The warmth of her body. The chill of her tears against his chest. It just, felt like he was actually supposed to calm those things. She was rested over him, but it felt as if no wait was received. It was almost like she was a blanket to him. As she grabbed the blanket from his bed, He moved his free arm around to help cover the both of them and as she shook with another strike of lightning, he moved around to cover her, so that the sound would muffle even more.
It wasn't long until she eased up and he felt her fall asleep. IT was odd to him how someone he rarely talked to in his team felt so familiar and safe, but he was only given the thought of helping her. Though, realizing that she fell asleep, he also found himself dozing off. For naught did it take long for him to drift off into his realm of dreams. Usually they would be a nightmarish memory of the last moments of his living life. Something he also cursed god for letting him retain even though he was dead. However, this time, he felt as if he needed to thank whoever called himself almighty, for he dreamed of the good times before the events of his death. A moment before his death in which he was happy living along side one girl. A girl whose face he was still unlucky enough to remember. Though, for him, it wasn't her face that he was happy or sad for. No. He was just happy that in this dream she seemed happy too. That was all that mattered.
Huh?
As the sun entered the room, his eyes slowly opened upon the light hitting their lids. It was a bight morning. Another morning which meant his crew would have to go to classes if they wanted, or do whatever it was they did if they weren't hanging around their base. It was really a buzz kill spending those days alone.
Looking down, he realized that the girl was still sleeping in his arms. He even felt a fragment of his body fall asleep underneath her. He knew he'd regret that later on, but for now he sat staring at her, trying to snapshot a picture of her sleeping face in his mind. As she showed signs of waking, he closed his eyes again, as to fake his own sleep, and calmed his breathing. Though once the girl had woke up, she seemed to violently roll off of him, pulling the blacket as well and had ended her movement in a hard thump. Tatsuya opened his eyes to watch her state and wanted to ask he if she was alright, but the sight was too funny at the moment and he tried to withdraw from laughing. He did notice, that as she sat up, her eyes averted his, which he deemed as er looking cute, which mad him chuckle a little.
As she apologized a little and explained her fear of storms he simply told her that she dindn't have to. Afterall, he actually enjoyed helping her through her fear. However, the last line of words she said kind of made him feel off. As she stood up to exit the room, he stood up and grabbed her arm. "Wait," he said, letting his grip loosen. "I...I'd never try to get rid of you. You should know that. At least, I would hope you would." He stepped around her to look her right in her eyes. "In fact, I think we should hang out more. Don't you?" Flashing his cat like smile, he raised his hand, only to ruffle her hair a little. "Jeez. You're too cute," he said in a playful manner. "I, I think that if you ever have the need, you should come to me from now on. Kay?"
