Can I Fall Back on You? (Karma Akabane x Reader)

•Chapter 10- Past Feelings

Karma's POV
I gave Y/n~neko a room to stay in and by now it was 23:00. (11PM) I was in Y/n~neko's room when I started feeling tired so I decided to head to my room but she stopped me. "D...Don't leave... Please." I was hoping she'd say that, I don't want to leave her alone... "I won't leave." I replied.

"But I think you should get some sleep as well Y/n~neko, but you can wake me up if you need anything." I said. She nodded and got into the bed. I need to make sure the guys never find out about this... They'll take it the wrong way... I turned off the lights and got into bed as well. Please have sweet dreams my neko, if you can't think of anything to dream about you can dream about me.

I woke up in the middle of the night hearing light sobs. I noticed Y/n~neko wasn't in bed so I checked to see where the crying was coming from. It was coming from the corner of the room. I saw Y/n~neko curled into a ball facing the wall and I got out of bed and walked over to her. How do I help her? How do I comfort her? I know mostly everything about her yet I don't know how to help her... I'm useless...

"Y/n~neko... I'll be here, you can tell me anything." I said kneeling down to her and holding her. "I... I w-woke you up didn't I..? I'm s-sorry. Y-You can go back to sleep." I could hear it in her voice, she was trying to fight back tears. "No, I'm not going back to sleep. I can't sleep knowing that you're crying. I care about you alot Y/n... Out of everyone in my life I care about you the most. Tell me what you're feeling."

"I... I feel like... I'm a monster.. My family wasn't close since I started my first year of junior high but now I completely ruined it... I wish... I wish I was back in primary school... That was when everyone was still close... That was when Otousan wasn't always working in the city... That was when Meiko~chan was always with us too..." Meiko~chan was Y/n~neko's best friend wasn't she? Oh right! Now I remember... Then for junior high she went to a private school... Us three were really close but unfortunately Meiko~chan didn't want to be just friends with me... But I didn't like her that way...

"You aren't a monster Y/n. It was her choice to... Do that. You don't even know why she ended her own life... She could've done that for another reason. Don't blame yourself Y/n, I know you didn't cause this." Her sister caused her to believe that it was Y/n~neko's fault... If S/n wasn't related to Y/n~neko she'd really be getting it... That doesn't stop me from ruining her life though...

"Do you want to talk about any of those things? Do you want to talk about Meiko~chan?" I asked turning Y/n~neko around. "Meiko~chan... Do you think we could ever meet up with her again?" Y/n~neko asked looking up at me. "I'm sure we could. I might still have her phone number..." There's no reason why I'd delete her number. "Might?" Y/n~neko questioned. I doubt that I deleted her number because she liked me, that would be stupid. "At the end of year six in primary school you and Meiko~chan didn't really talk to each other and it would be either you and me or Meiko~chan and me... Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened, it was just that-" I paused thinking if it was necessary to tell Y/n~neko. Should I really bring this up now? "Meiko~chan told me that she had feelings for me so it was kinda awkward talking to each other because I told her I didn't feel the same way... I just wanted to be friends, and I even kinda thought of her as a sister too..." In any situation I would've said that. Y/n~neko would've been left alone and I was friends with her first so I couldn't leave her...

"O-Oh. So that's what happened... Wh-What did you think of me?" Even in the darkness I could see a slight pink hue on Y/n~neko's cheeks. "As a friend but also more than just that~" I smirked seeing a slight smile appear on Y/n~neko's face. "Ne Y/n~neko, did you think of me more than a friend too~?" I saw her bite her lip. You did didn't you~ "No! Of course not... Okay. In first year of junior kay'? It was a phase! D-Don't let it get to your head!" Knew it~ "But that's recent Y/n~neko, so was the last two years of primary school but still~" I pressed on to make her more embarrassed.

"W-Wait, did you have a legitimate crush on me or you thought of me as a possible-" I answered her question knowing what she was gonna say. "You were my only legitimate love interest~" I said. "You liked me for two whole years?! I'm guessing you didn't say anything so you wouldn't harm our friendship with Meiko~chan, didn't you..." If only there was a fourth person in our group then, I wouldn't have felt as bad and right now we'd be here right now as girlfriend and boyfriend... Wait... Nothing like that is happening right now... There isn't anything or anyone holding me back from being with Y/n~neko now...

"Th-Thanks for cheering me up. I feel alot better now thanks to you." She wrapped her arms around me in an embrace and I picked her up princess style. I walked over to the bed and right before I placed her down I said, "You better watch out Y/n~neko, I might start having feelings for you again~"

And this time I don't have anything to feel bad about. When the time is right, say yes won't you~

A/n: Short chapter, I know, I wanted to have it end at the point I ended it at. The chapter after chapter 11 will be longer! (I really hope.)
