《Would You Rather?》Arabian Dream~
Advertisement
During the evening after my new female friends left, yes I did mean Keisuke and Chifuyu. I opted to do my share of homework per my usual routine, then I responded to a couple of messages, Mikey outright asked if I could sleep over at his house because I was his most prized pillow. I refused the invitation and went straight to sleep. However, as I was about to close my heavy eyelids and slip away to the dreamland, an annoying notification showed up.
"What is it now?" I could hear irritation filling my voice, after rubbing my eyes to have a better understanding of what I was looking at, I read.
'Would you rather share your dream with Ran Haitani or Wakasa Imaushi?" As if I even wanted to invade that guy's dreams, there was no telling what Ran could possibly be dreaming about and I wasn't curious to find out. What if I witnessed something cursed? Before making my final decision I settled for checking the description. What could even sharing a dream imply? Venus had an answer to that, thankfully.
"Dream sharing: Two people will share their respective dreams, the one with the most active imagination and creativity will have the pleasure to become the host of the dream domain. Anything they think about will be materialized." It felt like a description of Lucid dreaming, besides the obvious part of sharing the experience with another individual.
Yet it seemed like no matter which choice I would pursue, I had a gut feeling my imagination couldn't be defeated. Being an artist had its perks.
"I been in the darkest parts of the internet, those guys can't compare."
"But let's go with Waka Waka, he sure needs all the fun moments he can spare." Yes, it was time to wipe that bored look from his face, for goodness sake, he looked really depressed despite him being in his prime age.
I was a woman on a mission, after clicking the second option, I tucked myself under my blanket. Then I closed my eyes and drifted away to dreamland.
When I arrived at my destination, I could see Wakasa in the distance being in his usual spot at the gym. Were this guy's dreams so dull, just about everyday moments? Nothing else? I could see him fighting someone, but the person's face seemed really blurry, was this really all he was capable of? And couldn't he think about anything else than gangs, working out and beating up people?
"Yo!" I yelled while approaching, as now he was in the middle of his workout routine.
"Michi?!" He seemed shocked to see me here, was it the first time he caught a glimpse of me in his dream? Could I take a safe conclusion he was conscious as well?
"What are you doing here?" He soon added while I crept up closer to his vicinity.

"I came to drag your sorry ass for an adventure of the century." Probably not, but I could dream. Then I clapped my hands together and as I predicted the scenery started to change around us.
No longer boxing rings and workout equipment, only desert sands blowing with the wind.
"What's happening?" He looked around fairly confused at the new sights that embraced him.
"Right we should change our clothes as well, to fit inside the scene." I spun around and my clothes took a different shape, the whole transformation part made me look like a magical girl ready to defeat some evil force. My outfit resembled something I saw in the Aladdin movie. Wakasa's eyes went wide, but he must have missed the fact his clothes were also different from what he was wearing before. So I pulled his red vest while adding.
"Looking good."
"What the hell is going on?!" He seemed agitated yelling like this, at least this was different from his usual indifference. But now I was certain he wasn't aware of being inside a dream at all. Nonetheless, I didn't let it stop me from remembering the song from the movie, and right on cue, the music started to play. The "Arabian Night" song was on full blast making me feel like I was part of some music video.
"Since we have some sick boops and beeps, time to begin our journey." However, Wakasa was having none of it, claiming he wouldn't move until I explained what was going on. I shook my head since at times people jolted awake when someone in the dream informed them they were dreaming, I didn't want the fun to end when it haven't begun yet.
Instead, I imagined a flying carpet, one enough for both of us to fit into, maybe I made it too wide, but it shortly materialized before our eyes.
"Jump on!" But my dream buddy was stubborn, so I pushed him on instead.
"Just enjoy the ride, soon you will understand what is going on." He sighed, maybe he realized he couldn't win over me. No one could defeat Michi, the god of chaos. I laughed to myself while thinking those words.
"Yes bask in my divine glory." He rolled his eyes, as we were speeding thru the desert sands, but abruptly I heard a question aimed at me.
"You were the one that indicated this scenario? Then why do you look so terrified?" Despite me knowing it was only a dream it was hard to get rid of my fears.
"I have fear of heights," I admitted shamefully. Looking down from this height felt terrifying, my legs started to become jellies. Wakasa tried to give me pats to make me at ease, but I only calmed down when I hugged him for protection instead.
When fear was replaced with amazement, I couldn't believe what my brain could come up with. The scenery was so beautiful, quite magical in fact. Regardless then Waka pointed out something.

"Is this sunset supposed to be a romantic setting for a romantic encounter perhaps?" I glanced at the beautiful sunset sky, which was painted with red, pink, and orange shades.
"Think whatever you want." Like I would waste my time explaining anything to him, didn't feel worth it. I was just taking in the awesome sights, what else could this guy want?
After some more flying, I could see Wakasa became easily bored, I guess he couldn't appreciate the work of my imagination enough.
"What, would you prefer riding camels, or perhaps I can interest you in exploring some caves filled to the brim with gold?" He chose the latter one.
Once we landed I managed to recreate some mushy cave I recalled seeing in Skyrim, the difference being there were no enemies to fight with.
"This is lackluster... I want to fight some enemies." What was he, an action protagonist? I sighed and imagined some skeletons, ones I remembered from my favorite game, although their weapons wouldn't fit the Arabian setting so I just gave them long curvy sabers. I also tossed one to Wakasa, that had the time of his life, pulverizing the mobs I created.
Unexpectedly the aura he was giving off, felt like a fragment of his former self that I have seen in manga before, so my mission was a success.
At some point we reached the treasure trove, there being a golden lamp that Wakasa got his hands on.
"How about you clean it and make a wish?" Maybe a genie would pop up to grant it to him in this dreamland. However before we could see the results, we heard a distant peeping of an alarm clock.
"I guess it's already morning... Bye Waka, see you soon. Hopefully, we can do it someday once more if given the possibility." And so I woke up by falling to the floor. After rolling over I recalled one important thing.
"Right today I have a training session with Wakasa." Maybe I could check if he could remember the dream?
The school day went by pretty normally besides the fact that Kisaki was trying to scare me with the mention of Shuji Hanma, in case I tried to do something fishy on Saturday. But that guy was crazy, what if he actually joined in on my plans instead?
"Don't worry I will take really good care of you." I gave him the widest business smile I could muster, maybe some deep thinking over the night made him realize something shady was going on.
But I kept on assuring him he was safe in my hands. Sike, I was already planning on buying the maid dress today, one I could put to additional use after forcing it on Kisaki. Another idea I got was purchasing some red heels for him, maybe he would look cute in them, who knew. And lastly, if there was a slight chance of Hanma barging in, I could force Kisaki to step on him, a perfect solution.
When school ended I ran straight to the gym, since I came early there was time to spare to fool around. Maybe if I gave Wakasa a worthy performance he would recall our shared dream. My idea was to present him with the song he heard in my domain.
"Arabian nights~ Like Arabian Days~ More often than not, are hotter than hot~ In a lot of good ways~" Takeomi had to butt in, interrupting my performance, spewing some nonsense as if my singing wasn't a blessing to everyone's ears but a simple curse. I crossed my hands feeling offended, yet Wakasa asked me to continue my song, so I complied.
Once I sang the last note, I felt Waka's hands grabbing my shoulders.
"Are you some god of trickery and mischief?" I looked at him, questioning his reasoning. Though just because I joined the Valhalla gang, it didn't mean I had any connection to any Norse gods.
"Do I remotely look like someone that could be the Norse god Loki?" Wakasa shook his head but then concluded I could be in disguise. Takeomi just left for a smoke break, thinking we were pranking him with this conservation flow.
"Then tell me what are you Michi? Since your near-death experience, I was feeling something was off, but couldn't put my finger on it, and now this odd thing took place, making my suspicions grow." I was amazed so he did remember our Arabian Night adventure.
"Can you remember everything that took place?" I asked as he nodded his head in agreement. I decided to mess with him a little.
"I could tell you the truth, but are you sure your brain could be able to comprehend it? Or will it simply explode upon hearing my explanation? Are you sure you can take the risk?" Wakasa gulped, I didn't expect this to turn out like this, but I wanted to tease him some more.
"How about I give you one week... one week to figure out if you really want to hear the truth behind my existence." I could already tell he was constructing some deep theories in his head, but he decided to take his time before responding. I could already imagine the look on his face when I tell him about Isekai.
----------------------------------------------------------
This idea manifasted after I listened to the Arabian Nights song far too many times xD
Also Genshin's Archon quest could also have influenced me :P
