In the Afterlife

My eyes felt heavy. Really heavy as they closed again, I felt a body press up against me still brushing Their fingers through my hair, it felt soothing. I heard humming and I felt paralyzed. But I couldn’t help it but not care. No one has ever touched me so…gently before. I felt thing’s I’ve never felt before. It’s Indescribable. All my fear faded away at once. I was at peace and snuggled up against the person.  Whatever they are here for, I don’t care. I just don’t want them to leave. I wasn’t exactly sure where that thought came from. Maybe I was going Insane but even if, It felt like it’s worth it, it’s worth trusting a stranger. I felt a gentle kiss on my forehead.

I clang onto Katsuro like I’ve known him my whole life. I felt… Loved. After a nap I woke up again and he was gone. I was somewhat relieved, but a little bit upset. Maybe it was just a dream after-all, and I was imagining everything. My stomach rumbled, I sighed and got up. 

‘Damn it…’

My body hurt and was all sore. I walked into the kitchen and turned the water kettle on, I waited patiently for the water to boil as I opened a box of Instant Ramen. I can’t really cook. So, it’ll have to do. I don’t mind The kettle squeaked, and I poured the boiling water onto the Instant-food what a pain. Eating the same stuff every day, that’s probably why I get sick so easily. It’s annoying, I placed my chopsticks onto the lid and waited for the Ramen as I sat down by a table, I noticed a tall shadow behind me. I felt watched, Is it the same guy from the ‘Dream’? What if…? What would I do? Pretend like nothing happened? I sighed and took a glance behind myself. Nothing. I knew I was just hallucinating, maybe it’s because of the lack of vitamins, or just because I’m sick. Such things as ‚ghost’s’ don’t exist. I heard sobbing behind me.

‘That was so mean just now…!’ The voice quivered, it sounded like it was filled with tears. I shook my head, no…that can’t be. I felt a warm sensation and a body lean against my back. My face flushed in a deep shade of red. Not to mention that even if he is a stranger that he is incredibly handsome and soothing. I should’ve pushed him away by now. I simply couldn’t. I felt his hot breath trickling down my neck sending shivers all over my spine.

‘You’re really adorable! I’m not mad that I found you instead of the person I wanted to find!’

It wasn’t his intention to find me? It was all just ‘luck’ 

‘Who are you searching for.’

I asked hoping to receive an answer that’ll satisfy me. Katsuro looked at me blankly as if he was in deep thought. He gave me a cheeky grin and calmly answered;

‘Doesn’t matter anymore actually!’ I felt some sort of anger boil up in me. I couldn’t help it but yell. ‘What do you mean it doesn’t matter!?’
Katsuro looked shook, he didn’t expect me to yell I’m guessing. Me neither.
