.

A sudden jolt shook you awake. You woke up breathlessly panting, beads of sweat rolling down your forehead, tears swelling in the corner of your eyes.

It took you awhile to adjust to the dark and to calm down. The nightmare you had was absolutely overwhelming, so much so that it'd probably disturb you for the next few weeks.

You let out a deep sigh before snuggling your face into your blanket.

"It was a dream," you muttered. "It was just a dream.. Nothing more than just a dream."

It took a lot more persuading before you could actually persuade yourself enough to fall back asleep.

But alas, with enough persuasion, you fell back into your once peaceful slumber.

Everything felt terrible after the dream, you barely had enough sleep. Needless to say, you probably look terrible right now.

Your eyes were droopy, you could barely pay attention in class, your head felt like it was constantly spinning. The only time you could focus was during recess, when you had to eat and not use your brain to concentrate.

Your odd behavior did not go unnoticed by a certain red-headed male.

He had tried asking you about your behavior but to no avail. You shook him off and told him it was nothing.

Anyone could tell it wasn't just a plain 'nothing.' He wanted to ask more but had decided to keep quiet, maybe you weren't comfortable talking to him about it?

He wanted to be a good boyfriend who'd respect your decisions and privacy.

He couldn't help to be worried for you, though. He thought you'd be okay the next day but no, you still looked as tired as before.

A few days passed of seeing you like this and he just couldn't handle it amymore.

He didn't want to see you in this state, he wanted to see you be the usual you, the more lively you, the you he knew of.

It was during recess had he finally decided to approach you about your odd behaviors.

You were in your usual spot, always in the cafeteria with Nene and Aoi. The three of you about all sorts of things, boys, activities and whatnot.

It wasn't long before you were interrupted by a palm gently landing on your shoulder.

You turned around to find non other than your red-headed boyfriend.

"(Y/N)-chan, I need to speak with you," his voice was laced with concern as he spoke.

You nodded before bidding a goodbye to Nene and Aoi and then heading off with Akane.

He had a firm grip on your wrist as the two of you walked down the hallway and wouldn't make eye contact with you.

"Akane, what's wrong?" you asked but to no avail. He said nothing and only continued dragging you. "Akane, answer me."

Only when the both of you reached the staircases did he finally decide to acknowledge you. He turned around to face you but still avoided eye contact.

"Akane, what's wro-"

You were harshly cut off by him pinning you against the wall, his large hands tightly wrapped around your small wrists

"Akane! What's wrong with-"

You were once again cut off but this time, it was by him slamming his lips onto yours. You were completely imobilized, your arms were weak, you couldn't do anything else but to melt into his harsh but yet gentle touch.

He pulled away after a few minutes, face completely flushed, trying to comprehend what he had just done.

Only after calming down did he decide to speak up. "(Y/N)-chan, there's something bothering you, isn't there?" He asked, voice laced with genuine concern. "Please tell me, I'll always support you so, please don't hide anything from me."

You sighed, mentally preparing yourself for what's about to come. You knew he had already started noticing but had still decided to keep quiet about it, you knew you had to tell him sooner or later but you didn't think he'd be the one who'd approach you about it first.

"I- I had a dream, a dream about you leaving me for another.." you hesitantly choked out. You had no doubts in Akane, he's not the type to cheat, but it was just you being paranoid. "D-don't get me wrong, I don't doubt you or anything! It's just- that nightmare has just been bothering me lately and I didn't mean to make you worr-"

Before you could continue, you were cut off by Akane embracing you. Arms wrapped around your small form tighter than ever, holding onto you as if you'd slip out of his hold at any moment.

"That won't happen, it was just a dream.." He said while gently stroking your hair in the most soothing manner possible. "I'm here now, I won't leave you, ever."
