Chapter 5:
My First Girlfriend Is A Planet Buster Volume 2
Yuta walked through the debris as heavy rain fell. He then collapsed and fell on his face. He laid there for a bit before he looked around at the fire and destruction around him. He then looked up to see two round red eyes looking down at him. From the darkness Hachimitsu’s dead body fell followed by the eyes moving towards him. “H-Honey….” He looked to the red eyes, “H-Honey….!” The eyes then lowered as a shadowy figure knelt down and reached for his face. Yuta then let out a loud scream of pain and fear as we woke from his nightmare.
He painted heavily as he looked around the room. He patted his face and felt all over his body before he took a deep breath and started to calm down. He looked beside him to see that Hachimitsu had already gotten up, and she might’ve left due to her work. He sighed and threw the blanket off of him and got out of bed. He walked out to the living room slowly, he then picked up the pace when he smelled food from the kitchen. He made a sharp turn into the dining room to see Hachimitsu at the table having some toast and eggs. Yuta gave a smile before he ran over to her and wrapped his arms around her neck from behind. “O-Oh…!” Hachimitsu said, “Good morning…!”
“Good morning,” he said with a pleasant sigh,
“Sleep well?”
“Somewhat,” he said moving away from her and sitting across from her, “I had a bit of a nightmare before I woke up, but other than that I slept fine.”
“I could tell, you started to snore sometimes.”
“So, where’s my mom…?”
“She came home around the time I got up, she passed out in her room. She made me some breakfast before she went to bed.”
“I see….” He sighed, “My mom really overworks herself...I want to help, but I don’t know the first thing about what I want to do for work.”
“There’s a lot to do,” Hachimitsu said with a smile, “There's always fast food.” She then blushed lightly, “There’s a cosplay cafe too.” Hachimitsu then suddenly daydreamed Yuta coming over to a table she was at. He was tall and beyond handsome. He wore a butler outfit with long coat tails but now white shirt, so he was basically shirtless.
“Ogenkidesuka?” He said with his voice sounding like a heaven incarnate, “Koko ni. Watashi jishin no amakute oishī hachimitsu no tame ni, hachimitsu o hitoshizuku soeta amakute oishī ocha.~!” He then winked at her as he poured her a cup of tea and set it on the table, “Satō ga hoshikereba, mewotojite kudasai.” Hachimitsu blushed as she closed her eyes and Yuta moved closer to her before their lips were inches away.
“Hmmm,” Yuta said as he rubbed his chin, “It could work,” he then looked to Hachimitsu who had her eyes closed and her lips slightly puckered. “Hey um...Honey, are you okay?” He blinked a few times, “Honey?” He stood up and reached across the table and poked her face. Her eyes opened and she gave a soft scream before she then fell backwards onto the floor, “Are you-“
“I’m fine!” She said as she covered her face, “Don't look at me!”
“O-Oh….okay,” He sighed and turned and went to the kitchen. He then paused before he spun around, “Hey um…”
“Yeah…?” She said as she slowly got off the floor and put the chair back.
“Thanks,” he said with a smile, “For yesterday, all of it. I loved every minute of it.”
“Me too,” she said replying with her own smile. She turned and looked at the clock on the wall, “Oh...uh, anyways, I should get home and get showered so I can be to work on time.”
“Oh yeah….the daycare.”
“I’ll message you the moment I get off work, okay?”
“Okay, do you want me to walk you to the train?”
“No, I’ll be fine.” She said walking over to him before she planted a kiss on his lips, “I love you.”
“I love you too…”
“Try and have a good day,” She said as she started to walk off, “I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah...see you later.” He said shortly before he heard the sound of the front door opening and closing. He sighed before he went to the bathroom and started to shower off. As Yuta showered himself off all he could think about was that strange nightmare. What were those red eyes? Why did he see Hachimitsu dead? He knew it was a dream...but the thought of losing Hachimitsu terrified him. He gave a soft sigh as he turned off the shower and stepped out and started to dry himself off.
He wrapped the towel around his waist and went to his bedroom where he then got dressed. He paused for a moment as he looked around his room, at his bedside was the framed picture of him and Hachimitsu with the two plush beside it, on his bed was the body pillow, all of this stuff must have been placed by Hachimitsu this morning before he got up. He looked down slightly as his eyes softened, “...I really don’t deserve her…” He said softly to himself, “I have to find a way to make this up to her…” He turned and left his bedroom so he could walk across the hall to his mother’s bedroom. He pushed the door open slightly to see her laying on the bed completely wiped out.
He walked into the bedroom and pulled the covers over her before he kissed her forehead. She gave a soft groan before she softly opened her eyes, “Yuta…?” She said softly,
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you…”
“No...you’re fine…I just needed a light rest….”
“No, go back to bed…”
“Okay…” she yawned before she looked up at him, she gave him a rather gentle smile, “You know...at this age you really do look a lot like your dad...it’s mostly your eyes.”
“Thanks…you can go back to bed,,” He then went to leave the bedroom, she sat up before she said,
“Wait…” Yuta paused before he turned around and faced her, “Come here…” she then pat the bed beside her, Yuta nodded and walked over to the bed and sat beside her,
“What’s up?”
“What’s on your mind….?” She asked as she rubbed her hand up and down his back, “Last time I saw you like this you were troubled about something….what’s wrong…?”
“It’s not much,” he said, “I’m just thinking is all.”
“About what….?”
“Hachimitsu…”
“What about her….?”
“Well….she went out of her way to throw me this huge party and get me some great gifts...the most I got her was a small panda plush from the Amusement Park….I honestly feel as though I don’t deserve her.”
“Everyone feels that way from time to time….I know Hachimitsu deeply cares about you, she cares for you more than you could ever imagine. It makes me jealous just how much she adores you….”
“What do I do now? I feel like my relationship with her has reached its peak, and there’s not much else I can do…”
“I see...your father felt that way about me and him once...do you know what he did after that?”
“No, what?”
“That’s when he proposed to me….”
“WH-WHAT?!?!?!!!” Yuta said as he jumped a bit, “P-PROPOSOE TO HACHIMITSU?!?!!! I CAN’T DO THAT!!!”
“Why not…?” She asked with a soft chuckle and a smile, “There’s nothing wrong with marrying young…”
“W-WELL YEAH!!! B-BUT THE RULES WERE DIFFERENT BACK WHEN YOU WERE MY AGE I CAN’T JUST-“
“Calm down...it’s nothing to be afraid of…”
“BUT WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND A RING THAT FITS HER!!! SHE COULD PALM MY FACE LIKE A BASKETBALL IF SHE WANTED TOO!!!”
“I’m sure you’ll figure it out...but you don’t have to propose right away...there’s other-“ She then gave a yawn before she rubbed her eyes, “Other options….”
“Like what…?”
“You could move in with her at her apartment….”
“M-Move in….?!”
“Yeah…”
“I…” he then paused, “I don’t know….”
“You can’t live with me your whole life…”
“I know...I just...you’re always working super hard, I don’t want you to be stressed about me leaving.”
“I’ll be fine….” she then kissed his cheek before she laid back down, “Now get out of here...I’d like a few more hours of sleep…”
“Yeah...okay,” Yuta stood up and left his mother's bedroom closing the door behind him. He gave a soft sigh before he heard the doorbell. “Who could that be?” He walked through the house before he opened the door,
“Hey!” A voice said, Yuta’s eyes widened as he saw who was at the door.
“H-Hayase….?!”
