Love As We Know It (Murasakibara Atsushi x Reader x Himuro Tatsuya) PART I

---

You were in your second year in Highschool when your family moved to Akita. Due to your father's job, you had to move from [Your Home Country] to Japan.

Foreign country. Foreign language. It was tough.

You took a deep breath as you stepped inside the gates of Yosen High. You were nervous and you had no idea what to do, especially since you couldn't understand and speak Japanese.

"Excuse me? Are you lost?" Somebody spoke behind you and you swore to God all you could hear was Chu chu chu chu.

You spun around and saw a pretty boy. He was kind of cute with his black hair and his fringe covering his left eye. You bowed and gave him a polite smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm new here and I don't know Japanese. I'm sorry." You said helplessly in English.

He looked surprised at first but then showed you a smile. "You don't have to apologize, I can help you. I'm Himuro Tatsuya, and you are?" He responded in straight English.

"Oh! Thank God!" You exclaimed in relief then shook his hand even though he wasn't really offering you a handshake. You were just very delighted to have someone who could understand and help you around. "I'm [Fullname]. And I'm a transferee so I don't know where my class is."

"Let me take a look." He moved closer and peeked at the card you were holding. His arm brushed against yours and you awkwardly gulped at the sudden closeness. "You're in Atsushi's class."

"Atsushi? Who is he?" You asked curiously.

He took his phone out and then typed a text to someone. "He's my friend and he's in the same class as you do. He can help you too."

"Really? Thank you so much, Tatsuya. I owe you." You gratefully bowed again and smiled cheekily.

Himuro stared at you for a minute, stared at your face and smile. You were so pretty that he couldn't take his eyes off of you.

"You're beautiful.." He whispered absentmindedly in Japanese.

You frowned. "Excuse me?"

He flinched then immediately shook his head, secretly thanking that you didn't understand what he just said. "Nothing. I said, you're welcome and it's no big deal."

"Oh, okay.."

You waited for another minutes before another guy came. You looked at the newcomer in awe, he was extremely tall and his hair was also longer than most guys you've seen in Japan. But you gotta admit he was kind of cute too though.

"What do you want, Muro-chin?" He asked lazily, yawning and raising a curious brow.

"Somebody needs our help, Atsushi." Himuro started then turned to you. "This is [Fullname]. She's a transferee and she's in your class."

The tall guy furrowed his brows. "Why are you speaking in English?"

"She can't understand Japanese yet. So speak in English too." Himuro explained.

"Eh? What a hassle. I ca-" Murasakibara stopped in the middle of his complaints when his half-lidded eyes finally caught sight of you.

You smiled sheepishly and bowed. "Hi. I'm [Fullname].."

He nodded his head slowly. "Y-Yeah.." He cleared his throat, preparing his tongue to speak a proper introduction in English. "I'm Murasakibara Atsushi. Nice to meet you."

You gave him another smile again, which took his breath away. "Nice to meet you, Atsushi.."

Apparently, that was the start of your one-of-a-kind friendship. You became so close, inseparable even. They taught you everything about Japan, the culture and the language. And in no time at all, you were already fluent with the language.

They were always there whenever you needed help, and you were always there whenever they needed you. You were their sweet, little angel and they were your bestfriends.

But as months passed and as seasons changed, feelings also bloomed into something deeper.

Deeper than friendship..

..as beautiful and painful as love.

* * *

Just as the school bell rang signalling for class dismissal, you got a text from Himuro. He said he wanted to talk to you and that it was important. His message sounded a bit serious to you so you hurriedly packed up your things.

"[Name]-chin, can I talk to you?"

You turned to Murasakibara when you heard his voice beside you all of a sudden. "I'm sorry, Atsushi. I'm in a hurry."

"You have to listen to me right now because I can't contain this annoying feeling anymore!" He stated with force which made you snapped your head at him again, eyes widening a fraction. "It's so annoying, [Name]-chin. Why do I want to hold your hand so badly? Why do I want to be with you all the time? Why can't I get you out of my head? Why do I feel like dying whenever you're not around?" He sounded so helpless and you could only stare at him in disbelief. "What are you doing to me? You have to tell me now because I can't hold it in anymore!"

You backed away and looked around, aware of the few pairs of eyes watching you. Some of your classmates were still inside and it was utterly embarrassing. "I-I'm not doing anything, Atsushi.."

You gasped when he grabbed your arm and pulled you closer. And as if on cue, your classmates quickly grabbed their things and exited the room to give you two some privacy. Then you nervously reverted your gaze to Murasakibara, he looked so furious and for a moment there you wanted to just melt into the floor and disappear.

"W-What do you want me to do, Atsushi?" You asked in a small voice, barely above whisper.

In slow and gentle movements, he wrapped his arms around you then brought you to his chest, pulling you in for a tight hug. "Stay in my arms. Just stay, it calms my heart."

You didn't know what to say or do so you remained motionless inside his arms. You just let him do what he wanted to do, let him say what he wanted to say..

"Having you close to me like this makes me so happy, [Name]-chin. I want you to stay by my side.." He cooed into your ear softly, tightening his embrace. "..always and forever."

"A-Atsushi.."

Unbeknownst to you, Himuro was standing beside the door, seeing and hearing everything. He was just about to confess to you but seemed like Murasakibara did it first.

He turned his back and walked away, eyes moist with tears. He never thought it was that painful, seeing you in another guy's arms was utterly heartbreaking..

Very heartbreaking..

* * *

You were lying on your bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about your life. You weren't sure what's exactly happening with your friends. As Murasakibara made his way closer to you, Himuro was doing the exact opposite. Since he was an upperclassman, you knew he was very busy with graduation and stuffs. But still..

You decided to send him a text:

Hey. Busy?

After what seemed like hours, he finally replied.

Himuro: Hey. Yeah, kind of.

You: I missed you, you know. What have you been up to?

Himuro: I'm dating someone :)

At that, you gasped and sprung up. He was dating someone. He was dating somebody else. Unexpectedly, tears blurred your sight and you broke into sobs. You hugged your knees and cried.

Why did it hurt?

You felt like you couldn't breathe and your chest was going to explode. Just the thought of him together with another girl was sending every piece of your entire being to shreds..

Then your phone rang, you lifted up your hand and read the caller ID. It was Murasakibara Atsushi. You ignored it at first, but the guy was persistent.

After fixing yourself, you answered him. "Hello?"

There was silence for a few seconds before.. "Speak again."

"What? What are you-"

"You're crying. What happened, [Name]-chin?" He asked worriedly, panic was traceable in his voice.

The concern you heard in his usual monotone voice made you sob. "Can you come here, Atsushi? I need a shoulder."

"Okay. I'll bring you some chocolates too."

* * *

Your parents let Murasakibara in then after a short talk, led him to your room. So when you heard a knock, you immediately stood up and opened the door.

You greeted him with a sly smile. "Come in, Atsushi."

He just stared at you and didn't talk so you grabbed his arm and pulled him in yourself, closing the door after. You dragged him towards your bed and made him sit down, eyeing the plastic he was carrying.

"Are those chocolates?" You asked then reached out to get it. However, he only moved it away. You quirked an eyebrow and glared at him. "I thought they're for me."

"They are." He replied in a stern voice. "Just tell me why you were crying first."

Tears welled up in your eyes again and you looked at him pleadingly. "Can't I just keep it all to myself, Atsushi? I want to forget about it."

He frowned. "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Can I stay in your arms? Please.." You pleaded helplessly.

His eyes widened, then he set the plastic he was carrying down to bedside table and positioned himself. He brought his legs up to the mattress and leaned against the headboard, opening his arms widely for you. "Come here, [Name]-chin.."

You fought back a whimper as you hurriedly jumped on the bed and crawled over to him, hugging him and burrying your ugly crying face to his chest. He wrapped his arms around you and stroked your hair with his long, thin fingers.

"Are you hurt, [Name]-chin?"

"Yes, I am." You sobbed, voice muffled up by the fabric of his shirt.

"Does it hurt so much?" He continued asking.

"Yes, it is."

He held both of your shoulders and pushed you a little farther, just enough to make eye contact with you. "What can I do to make the pain go away, [Name]-chin? It hurts me seeing you hurting so much too."

"Just stay with me, Atsushi. Don't ever leave my side. Can you do that?" You said, wiping your tears away.

Hearing that, Murasakibara's heartbeat fastened up and an assuring smile crept unto his face. "Yes. I'll always be here.."

You gave him a small smile, wrapping your arms around him again and feeling him encasing you inside his arms as well. You closed your eyes and soaked up the security that his presence was giving you..

"Thank you, Atsushi."

And right at that very moment, you promised to forget about the romantic feelings you had for Himuro Tatsuya..
