Sun was shining bright up from the sky. Subaru checked on his wrist watch; 9:30. The dream he had last night, was dominating in his mind. He needed some fresh air, quickly. The trail in front of him was an escape. Yatsugatake invited him to run in the woods and release his stress.

-The dream-

"Subaru?" he heard behind him in the darkness of his mind. He turned around to see Ema standing there.

"Ema….What are you..?" Subaru asked in his sleep (Ukyo on the bed next to him woke up because of Subarus sleep talking.)

"I wanted to ask you something", Ema answered in the dream. She was wearing a white dress and shoes.

"Well, what is your question?" Subaru asked. Ema closed her eyes and smiled.

"Are you in love with me?" she asked quietly. Subaru felt how his heart stopped. He couldn't say a word.

"Well, are you, or are you not?" Ema asked again. Subaru let out a really quiet "no".

"Well that's wonderful", Ema answered. Subaru lifted his head to see what was happening since Emas voice took a major chance. He saw all of his brothers half naked behind Ema with a really crooked smile.

"Now I have time for everyone else!" Ema laughed and Subaru woke up sweating and breathing heavily.

-End of the dream-

Subaru stopped on a bridge. He breathed in some fresh air. He was tired and confused. Would his brothers really do that? Of course they would. They're the same as he is. Would Ema really do that? No… or… oh god, he really didn't know.

"Was it a hint? If I don't soon tell her…will that happen?" Subaru asked from his reflection on the stream. He saw how his reflection put its head down and Subaru read from its lips: probably. His heart ached.

Would it really?

He sighed. A small gaze on his watch gave him a heart attack; it was already 10:30! He had promised to be back by ten, so they could start breakfast together. He started to run towards his family vacation home.

"Finally! What took you so long?" Ukyo asked from Subaru, who was sweating and breathing heavily.

"I…kinda…fell into my thoughts…" Subaru answered tired.

"Well now you have to get a shower, we'll start eating already", Ukyo answered and Wataru celebrated next to him. Subaru nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

"Good morning Subaru", he heard a sweet, kind voice speak to him. Subaru turned his eyes toward the end of the hall way behind him. Ema smiled at him with bright eyes. She was wearing beige shorts and a white t-shirt with a floral print. Most different about her was that she had tied her hair behind, instead of a side ponytail.

"Morning", Subaru answered quietly and turned his gaze back to his front. He opened the bathroom door and stepped in. He locked it and started to take his sweaty clothes off. When he turned the shower on and let the water run down his skin, he decided; he must tell Ema about his feelings, before someone else did.

"What took you so long in the shower?" Natsume asked.

"Asks the one who takes an hour baths", Subaru answered.

"It's a bath, it's pretty different", Natsume hummed.

"Well anyways, what should we do today? Tomorrow we're leaving, but we should make up something fun for today", Kaname asked. Everybody agreed and started to think about good ideas.

"Maybe we should play something, as a family", Ema asked. After a few of nods from the brothers, Wataru yelled:

"Let's play hide and seek!"

"That would be fun!" Ema answered.

"Yeah, but we have to make up some rules. You can't go to the woods or something like that, and let's have two seekers so it will be easier to find everyone.

"Okay, let's star after breakfast. Who will be playing?" Azusa asked. Everybody, except Ukyo raised their hands.

"Well why not?" Masaomi asked him.

"I'm not the one to crawl on the ground, and I'll be preparing lunch and cleaning up since we're leaving tomorrow. And just so you know, nobody is allowed to come inside to hide", Ukyo answered and specially looked at Hikaru, who was kinda addicted to his computer, and technology in particular.

"Okay, Azusa and Natsume will be the first seekers!" Wataru yelled and took his plate and glass to the kitchen.

"When did we decide that?" Natsume asked. Azusa was just as confused as he was.

"Now" the small boy answered.

"Why does it have to be us?" Azusa asked.

"Because I say so", Wataru said and his older brother let out an amused sigh.

xx

"Okay, Natsume and Azusa will count to hundred an then yell, when they start to seek", Masaomi said and the seekers nodded.

"Everybody knows the rules right? The first ones to be found will be the seekers for the next round" Wataru added and positive answers were said.

"Okay then!" Ema said and told Natsume and Azusa to cover their eyes. Natsume sighed and said:

"One…."

Everybody started to run in different directions. Wataru ran toward the stairs to find a hiding place under the terrace. Masaomi went towards the road to cross it and stay down, so couldn't see him behind the long grass. Hikaru found a hiding place behind a storage house and Kaname joined him. Fuuto found a cozy place behind some trees and started to scroll through his social media.

"Where the hell am I gonna hide?" Subaru asked from himself and ran towards the woods. After getting a nice distance away from the house he remembered that he couldn't hide in the woods. He ran back just to make it time for Natsume and Azusa to be ready. He jumped in the bushes and breathed deeply.

After a while of hiding, he heard rustling next to him. His catched his breath just to hear a girl's voice next to him:

"Subaru, it's me."

He let out a sigh and gazed at the brown haired girl relieved.

"How long have we been hiding?" She whispered a question.

"15 minutes", Subaru answered.

"Great."

Subaru stayed quiet for a moment. They heard how Wataru was found and how he complained. Subaru felt Emas body temperature next to him. And without thinking clearly, mesmerized by her scent he asked:

"Ema, have you ever been in love with someone?"

"What? Why do you ask?" Ema asked back quietly.

"Just curious", he answered and Ema answered quietly:

"Maybe, I guess. How about you?"

"Yeah."

"Being in love is weird. It makes your heart make barrel rolls and feel weird. Don't you think-" Ema said but she was interrupted by Subaru kissing her. When Subaru backed away with his red cheeks, Ema stared at him confused.

"I'm in love with you", Subaru whispered and pressed his face on his knees.

"Subaru", Ema said after a moment of silence. Subaru lifted his gaze to look at Ema, but was attacked by her kiss. Ema's peach pink lips were pressed against Subarus. When she parted from him, she looked away embarrassed.

"I love you too", She whispered. Subaru turned Emas flustered face towards him and hugged her.

"What a relief" he whispered into her ear and kissed her one more time.


Give Me Love – Ed Sheeran

It was really hard to choose a song for Subaru and write anything, and I really had no idea why I chose this song :'D

I updated really late because my whole May has been full since I'm graduating middle school 30th of May. But soon I'll have time when my summer holiday starts and updates will come sooner, I wish so…
