Chapter 19:

Did I fall asleep?

Under The Shattered Eclipse


After that incident with the secret police, everything settled down for a bit. The Quixotic Predators weren't on their hunt for couples, and no movements from the secret police were seen. A few months pass by like this. Yuki and Hiroshi have grown too. They were now almost third years. They have also settled down in their new house quite peacefully. Every day, their love seems to grow for no reason. Just being with each other makes them happy. Times sure passes by fast when you are enjoying it to the fullest. But the matter of fact, they haven't confessed to each other.

Anyway, let's see how their weekdays go by each day...

Firstly about the morning, Hiroshi is a morning person. He wakes up at 5 in the morning. Brews coffee and starts studying. He usually covers all the materials for the upcoming exams.

"Oh its time."

Hiroshi gets up from his table and goes to Yuki's room. Yuki is not a morning person as Hiroshi.

"Sorry for the intrusion."

When its almost time to prepare breakfast, he wakes up Yuki.

"Oi Yuki. Hurry up. Wakey wakey. I am hungry."

"... few more minutes."

"Nope."

"..."

"Don't just continue sleeping."

"... why did you have to wake me up. It was such a great dream."

"Your clothes are messy too. Go freshen up."

"Okie."

Then he again goes to his room to study. He needs to continue his studies in order to lead a decent life in the future. He usually finishes his studies when Yuki calls for breakfast.

"Breakfast is ready!"

"Coming."

Coming to the dinner table, they just talk and have a good time. When its time for school, they get ready and go to school. They go to school, but their mind aches to go back home again. Hiroshi usually does the groceries. Luckily, today the supermarket had a sale on fish. He got it with a great discount. He goes to his house.

"I am home."

"Welcome back."

"You are early today."

"Am I?"

"Look at this."

"Oh, fish! Where did you get these from. And aren't they expensive?"

"This is the magic of 50% discount."

"Whoa, that much? Well then, tomorrow I will cook those. Keep it in the fridge."

"Ok."

They usually eat dinner right after school. It's a bit early, but whatever. They remain hungry, so they eat. Hiroshi just lays in the couch and dozes off. When dinner is ready, Yuki goes and wakes up Hiroshi. She sits beside the couch and gently wakes him up.

"Did I fall asleep?"

"Yes. You did. Anyway, dinner is ready."

That day was the day before the weekend. So Yuki had some plans for the weekend. She brought it up during dinner.

"The dinner is delicious as always."

"Thanks. So, umm, you know? My dresses are getting too tight for me to fit in."

"Really? I don't think you gained weight."

"I increased a bit by height I guess."

"I see."

"So why don't we go to the shop to buy new clothes? I got my pay for the supermarket job I do."

"Weren't they short staffed?"

"Yes. They are paying me more for that."

"That's great."

"Soo..."

"Yes. I will go."

"Thanks."

After the dinner is the study session between Hiroshi and Yuki. They sit on the dining table and study for the night. Hiroshi helps Yuki with her work. This way, they save electricity because they only use one light bulb instead of two in both of their rooms.

"Oh, its late."

"Better sleep early today."

The next day, about the same things happened. But Yuki is the one waking Hiroshi up. That's because although he is a morning person, he gives up on that during the weekends. Its like removing all his tiredness that he gained in the past week. But today's a special day. It looks like that they are just going outside to buy some clothes, but its their unofficial date.

Yuki wore normal clothes and the straw hat that she had. It was sunny, so she believes it would come in handy. Hiroshi also didn't go for anything fancy. Well, they didn't have anything fancy, that is.

When they reached the supermarket, it was huge. Yuki got inside, holding Hiroshi's hand and going around. They have been holding hands now. They are like a real couple. But the main difference is, they are not.

They were just wandering around the mall. But then, Yuki got into a store. Which is... kind of a dangerous area for Hiroshi. She went in the ladies section, which has a lot of... interesting undergarments that women wear.

Hiroshi hesitated a bit.

"Oh come on. You have been here with me before too."

"But everybody will think I am suspicious."

"I told you before, nobody will think so. Just hold my hand."

"I am holding it."

"Then let's go."

She pulled Hiroshi with her. Then she started asking him which one fits her more. Well, Yuki was surprisingly normal about this situation, which is not at all normal. But then, he got betrayed. She told him that he was going to be okay if he is with her, but now, he is left alone.

Yuki got into the changing room. Hiroshi is dying from embarrassment. He was hoping absolutely no one to come here. But alas! Luck was not on his side. A few girls came. Moreover, they were from his school. To add to the fact, they were his classmates. They had a little girl with them, which is most likely one of their sisters. She was getting her first one. She looked embarrassed. He was trying his best to hide himself, but his cover was blown instantly.

They were whispering, but he could hear their conversation.

"Hey, who is that guy trying to hide himself? He looks suspicious. Maybe we should call the staffs."

"No wait. He looks familiar."

"He does?"

"Hey, isn't that Hiroshi from our class?"

"Wait, that guy? I heard he got a girlfriend."

"I heard she was super cute too."

"Maybe she is with him. He looks embarrassed."

"I wanna meet his girlfriend. I wanna see how cute she is."

"Then go for it."

"Okay"

She goes and approaches Hiroshi. To which, he freaks out. He then immediately apologizes for being here. In the mean time, Yuki opens the curtain. When she saw Hiroshi with another girl, she went into her evil side.

"H-i-r-o-s-h-i. Would you care to explain who is this girl?"

"She's just a classmate, huh. I see, just a classmate..."

She was even more evil than usual. But the girl came and removed the confusion. Her initial thoughts on Yuki was,

"Amazing. She is even more cute than I imagined."

Anyway, everything went well. After that, they had a light meal and went home, as usual.
