          [Y/N] looked in in the mirror for the fifth time before leaving. She didn't know why she was so nervous, after all, it was just Ryu. After making sure that everything was fine, she grabbed her purse and left the apartment, strolling towards the mall, where her brother was waiting. She really wanted to see him.

          The mall was a few blocks away from her house, so she would be there in a few minutes. She looked at the time,  realizing she arrived 10 minutes late, but still she didn't see her brother anywhere. That was weird, Ryu was always punctual, 'Maybe he got caught in traffic'. 'Yeah, that must be it'. Determined to give him a few minutes, she sat on a nearby bench to wait.

          Minutes passed and [Y/N] was getting impatient, so she decided to call him to see if something happened. However, as soon as she grabbed her phone from her pocket, a boy approached her and tugged her sleeve, gaining her attention.

          "It's not time yet", he whispered in her ear.

          Before [Y/N] could ask what he meant, the boy was gone.

          She unlocked her phone to call Ryu and stood up, looking at the time. 17:34. Did that much time pass already? When she arrived, it was 17:10. She started to dial, when two bells ringing interrupted her. 'Two?'. [Y/N] looked at the time, 17:30. That couldn't be, she just looked at the time and it was 17:34.

          Puzzled, the girl looked up and became even more confused. Around her, people were quickly walking backwards. The chimes rang again. 17:15. People began to walk faster, making her head ache when she tried to follow them with her gaze. What the hell was going on?

          After a few seconds, everything stopped.

          [Y/N] looked around and saw that everything was back to normal. She checked the time on her phone, 17:07. Ryu came around the corner and bagan to approach the mall's door. [Y/N] sighed with relief, it must of been her imagination.

          The [H/C]-haired tried to approach her brother, but something stopped her. She had the feeling that someone was holding her, but no one was there. When she looked back at Ryu, she watched as the men who had chased her a few days ago, approach him.

          She tried to warn him, but no sound came when she opened her mouth.

          Helplessly, [Y/N] saw the two strangers stand behind him. Stranger A looked at her and winked, smiling, while stranger B stabbed Ryunosuke repeatedly.

          [Y/N] screamed.

-   -   -   -   -

          "[Y/N]! You're dreaming! Wake up!"

          Someone started to shake her gently and took her out of her trance.

          "Are you ok?", Yata asked, worried when he saw the girl open her eyes.

         [Y/N] nodded and looked around. A nightmare. A damn nightmare. Her heart was pounding and she was shaking. A tear slid down her cheek, Yata wiped it away with his finger, blushing instantly.

          "W-What are you doing here?", she asked. Of all the members of HOMRA, it had to be him who saw her like that.

          "I-I heard y-you scream", stammered the auburn-haired.

          "I'm sorry I woke you up", she apologized, embarrassed. If she really screamed, the strange thing was that only he had heard her.

          "D-Don't worry about it", said Yata. The truth was that he was playing a new game and when he heard her, he had rushed to see what happened, leaving the game at half.

          [Y/N] was thankful that the redheaded didn't have a desire to argue with her this time and was being friendly. Although it was only a dream, she hasn't heard of Ryu yet and it made her worry. What if the dream was a kind of premonition?

          "Y-Yata ...", she whispered, still scared. "D-Do you m... doyoumindstayingwithme?", she said quickly. She couldn't believe that she was asking him keep her company, but she didn't want to be alone. At least, not when she just recently had a nightmare. 

          Yata red cheeks intensified even more. Even though the girl had spoken so quickly, he had understood her perfectly. He wanted to say no, that the girl had caused enough problems to him. But he couldn't refuse after seeing her so vulnerable, asking him to stay with tearful eyes. Whatever nightmare it was, it must of been really bad to put her in that state.

          "Please, just until I fall asleep", added the [H/C]-haired.

          "O-Okay. B-but d-don't t-tell anyone", he said, aware that if the others found out, they wouldn't waste the chance to mess with him.

          [Y/N] smiled and grateful embraced the skater. She kept thinking that he was an idiot, but she was glad that he was staying with her.

          "Arigato, Yata-chan."

          When he wasn't saying nonsense, he was lovely with his hobby of blushing at everything.

-   -   -   -   -

          Tatara got up from his bed, trying not to make any noise. It had been almost an hour after [Y/N] had screamed and he didn't hear Yata come out of the girl's room. Like Yata, he had been awakened by the cry of the girl but, when he reached her door, he saw that the redheaded boy was there and decided to return to his room. It was a good time for both of them to start getting along.

          With the light illuminating from his mobile, the brown-haired male opened his drawer and grabbed his camera, tip toeing his way down the halls. If Yata was really still in [Y/N]'s room, it was most likely that he fell asleep and that would be a good memory to keep. Misaki Yata, sleeping in the same room as a woman.

          Opening the door quietly, Tatara was about to release a cheer. It was even better than he expected. He knew that they were in the same room, but he thought Yata would be in a chair or sitting on the windowsill, not on the same bed with [Y/N].

          Yata was sleeping in the same bed as a girl!

          Afraid that they would awaken and ruined the moment, Tatara quickly took a picture. Once the photo was taken, he quickly returned to his room to verify that it was a good picture.

        The snapshot had indeed, immortalized the moment perfectly. Yata, sitting on the bedspread and leaning on the wall, slept peacefully with one of his arms around [Y/N] while the girl rested her head on his chest. Both seemed at ease. Could it be, that in the future there will be something between those two? Tatara didn't know for sure, but something told him yes.

-   -   -   -   -

         The sound of a door closing woke Yata. The redheaded looked around to locate himself and nearly had a heart attack when he saw [Y/N] sleeping with him. Well, more like on him and he was holding her. Yata had never blushed so much in his life. Thanking the fact that she hadn't woken up, he got up carefully from the bed and, after tucking her in, left the room.

          Once out, he looked to see if there were any light on or a noise that would indicate who it was that had woke him up by closing a door, but saw and heard nothing, assuming it must of been his mind playing tricks on him.
