Lovers in Tokyo

When the two got out of the café outside was already dark. Nana shuddered, not expecting to be so chilly at night. She completely forgot how she was dressed. Nao remarked how her muscles tensed and figured it was because it got colder. He didn’t give her his sweater, like any man would have; instead, he pulled her closer to him and hugged her. They both stopped breathing for a few seconds. The force between them became visible. Nao felt like fireworks just started in his heart. He tried to ignore the feeling and continued to walk.

He didn’t have a clue where he was going. He was leading the way to somewhere unknown. While wandering the streets they heard a big noise that made the ground vibrate. Their heads rose to the sky just in time to see the fireworks. Nao chuckled. It was amusing how his feelings just got materialized. Nana’s eyes were enlightened in the dark. Her green orbs were shining beautifully. He turned his head and closed his eyes. He was trying to regain control over his heart and body.

Back on the road to nowhere, Nana shuddered again and unconsciously got closer to him. Nao stopped and glanced around.

“Are we lost?” Nana chuckled and shook her head. He tried to figure if it was the same path they took when they first arrived but the streets looked different at night.

“We’re fine. A few more steps and we’re back in crowded and noisy centre of Tokyo”

It was cute how he panicked back then. It made me feel protected even if he didn’t know his way around. His grip on my hand tightened but I was sure he didn’t even remark it. When we got back on the known path, I pulled away. He walked me back home. I didn’t want it to end but I didn’t want it to last either. Maybe, that thought was what kept me from looking after him. It was just one day

“Thanks for taking me home” He chuckled and ruffled her hair. It felt way too personal and odd. “I'm surprised you did, actually. You were quite scared a few minutes ago”

“I was just tensing up! Who knew when someone might have stroke?!” She rolled her eyes and pushed him playfully. He chuckled and caught her hand.

In that moment, that touch was enough to send me over the edge. My feelings exploded and I couldn't control myself any more

I remember I was the one who moved first. I walked so close to him that I could feel the heat emitting from his body. I didn´t care if he was going to respond or not, but I did have my own theories. Our lips were just a breath away. I will never forget the moment he leaned in and kissed me. I could swear the world disappeared and there was just the two of us. One peck wasn´t enough. The connection was bringing us together. Let’s just say that one day was the best day of my life

When I woke up the next morning, he wasn´t there. I knew it would end like that. What we had was simply the spur of a moment

But, that man changed me. He turned my entire world upside down. Someone who meant close to nothing became someone for me and in return, I became someone for the world
