《Please... Wake Up (Ruikasa)》Chapter 10 - The confession
Advertisement
Tsukasa,
"How do you drink something so bitter?"
He handed me the espresso, without a second thought, I took a sip. It's as bad as they say, really bitter.
We walked out and entered SEKAI, the hues are dull as ever.
I realized something.
I drank the espresso in the same glass Rui drank in.
This is...
An indirect kiss?!
I can feel my face go warm, my heart racing, the same feeling I had on that day that I found my feeling for Rui.
Is this really it?
Should I say it?
What if he only thinks of me as a friend?
But I'm so sure that he did it intentionally, then I heard his soft giggles.
"A little bit... But I like it, because..."
The words are stuck in my throat, unable to escape.
"Because..."
Still unable to say it, my face is practically red.
"Because I love you."
I looked at Rui, his face is starting to get a bit red, he is shocked with this response.
Oh no.
I ruined it.
But instead of a negative emotion, I saw a smirk, as if he's wanting that response.
I wasn't expecting this response, it caught me off guard.
SEKAI's hues are slowly being restored
Suddenly, Rui grabbed my waist, we started at each other, my arms around his neck. Thank god Miku and Kaito aren't around, I don't want them to see it. We both lean in for a kiss.
It's one kiss, but it felt like forever, I don't want to break it. Once we broke the kiss, SEKAI's colors are all restored.
Miku and Kaito walked up to us, surprised to see Rui. After some conversations, we returned to the real world to tell everyone else the good news.

The Immortal
There was once a certain man who never died. When ancient trees withered, he flourished. When kingdoms, empires, and nations fell, he stood. When surrounded by immortals, he laughed. And when the world was gone, he remained. This is his tale. I take 0% credit for the title picture. I just pasted stuff together and did the best I could with a mac touchpad.

Adventures of Stephen Silworth
Stephen has a strange job. He is someone whose duty is to draw the line between the civlized world and the magical entities faring in or around the society. His job is rare one.

Even though life is hard, he, or rather what happens to him, gives a humorous taste to these stories, but considering the fact that being funny is relative, you don't have to process this paragraph. These creatures, which humanity branded disastrous, destructive and detrimental, can either be helpful or harmful, though Stephen has to deal with all of them, depending on the needs of his clients. He is the only one capable of doing this job right, helping the ones that have no interes in his strange life what so ever.

At The Lions Gate
In the 20th century America reinvented itself. Devastated by depression, scarred by war, rocked by a revolution, Americans banded together to preserve their country and their freedom. They had faith in themselves, faith in one another, and for those who believed…faith in God. This novel tells the story of one American who lived through those turbulent years….years that would test his character and the character of a nation. For Josh Sanders it begins in 1935. A star athlete in school, pro football is a ticket out of poverty during the Great Depression; but when his father, a WWI veteran, is killed during a robbery, Josh’s spirit is broken, and with it his boyhood dream. To honor his father Josh joins the war effort in 1942, distinguishing himself as a fighter pilot, until a fateful decision near the end of the war changes the course of his life once again. But many years later, after a stint as a boxer and a failed marriage, Josh finds his calling…at a time when the country is at war with itself. The year is 1968. King and Kennedy have been killed, race riots are breaking out, and Vietnam has become an albatross, causing massive protests across the country. In the streets of San Francisco Josh watches a crowd of students march for peace. As a veteran he’s conflicted, toward the war and those who oppose it. But when he encounters Rosy Goldin, a spirited young protester in need of help, a voice from the past calls him to action. His good intentions are soon tested when Rosy falls in love with the fugitive anti-war activist Erick White, a young man determined to oppose the war at all costs, against the wishes of his own father. Fearful of what happens to Rosy, Josh confronts Erick, unwilling to be part of his plan to escape…until he meets the boy’s father. A high-powered criminal attorney, Karl White is also a flag-waving patriot demanding that his son follow the law. But as White makes his case Josh is jolted by a painful war-time memory, a crisis of conscience that will soon determine the fate of Rosy Goldin and Erick White.
