Now, be good on your first day of school, Mikaela!” Krul waved as one of the maids held the door open for her. Mikaela smiled and bent down as the pink haired woman gave him a kiss on the forehead.
“Hopefully, you’ll see your precious Yuu-chan” She winked, giggling as Mika’s cheeks flushed. Krul knew how he felt about his childhood friend who he hadn’t seen in so long. Even though he would be starting school the next day, Mika still felt butterflies in his stomach.
“I’ll have Ferid drive you there tomorrow, I don’t want you going out by yourself” She said, and he felt the feeling in his stomach turn into something cold. He almost felt sick.
“Oh, I‘m almost late! Bye, now!”
“Bye” Mika waved as he watched his guardian leave through the huge front doors, the sound of her stiletto heels on the marble floor could be heard from inside. Once she’d left and the maids have stopped pestering him about what he was going to eat for dinner, he made his way to his room and fell face first onto his bed. ‘Why did it have to be Ferid of all people!? Can’t he not ruin my day just this once!? I finally have the chance to see Yuu-chan again… but now…”
“Mika-Chan…”
Mika tensed. He knew who that voice belonged to. He quickly threw himself under the blankets and curled into a ball, he could hear the sound of footsteps drawing close to his room. Maybe he’d go away if Mika pretended to be asleep?
“Are you in here, my little Mika?” Mika cringed, he could almost hear the smile in Ferid’s voice. “Could you be sleeping?” The man asked as he leaned over the boy. Mika’s breath quickened, he tried his best to keep his eyes closed.
“I’ll play along with you today, but don’t expect me to be so kind next time” Ferid whispered. He was close enough that Mika could feel Ferid’s hot breath on his ear, yet he refused to open his eyes.
“Sleep well and see you tomorrow, Mika-chan!” Ferid waved as he left the room. The sound of footsteps followed and soon the sound of the front door opening and closing could be heard.
Once Mika deemed it safe, he crawled out of his nest of blankets and slammed his bedroom door closed, something Ferid had forgotten to do when he left.
He leaned his back against the door and slowly sunk down onto the floor. He wrapped his arms around himself as if he could stop the tremors that wracked his body. Mika felt a single tear trail down his pale cheek and bit his lip.
‘I hate this… But it’s alright… I’ll see Yuu-chan again… Yuu-chan will save me… for sure’
