I fell in love with a Robot [Mikaze Ai]

○ Chapter 5 ○ Ai-SENPAI?!

I saw the same girl leaning against the wall. On the floor was a knife with blood on it and a couple of loose pills. She was crying. And as I saw this scene, I felt numb... Then she looked up. I looked into a eyes and gasped. They were dead.

"WHY? WHY CAN'T I FORGET?" the voice shouted.

The surroundings changed again. It was the beach. The boy and girl was standing in the seas, the water was reaching up to their knees.

"Hey..." She said.

"What are you doing here?" The boy asked in shock.

"Sorry... I JUST WANT TO LOCK AWAY MY FEELINGS FOR YOU FOREVER" she shouted and started the drown the boy.

"S-Stop it!" He stuttered and pulled the girl in with him.

"N-No!" She said and was pulled in.

Then, I felt myself drowning as well. Like I was being pulled into the dark depths of the sea.

Help me please...

~end of dream~

I opened my eyes widely and gasped. I was panting.

What was that? I feel so scared... I can't sleep...

I got up and glanced at Ai's side of the room. He was sleeping...

I walked out and went to the practice room.

I opened the piano and touched the keys gently. Then, I started playing.

Then, I heard someone singing along with the song I was playing. I recognized that voice... It was Ai.

Innocent Wind

The wind whispered close to my ear,

"Live with love"

Salvaged by an unknown emotion

And something hot

I'd felt as if there was always pieces missing

Where are the fragments of my heart?

I'd wished for wings, not a frozen heart

You gave feathers of song to someone like me...

Dissolve the storm! Walking along hand in hand

I won't ask that someone

Take away this passion

As I embrace your everything

Swept away by an innocent wind, torn apart and lost

The sunlight is always facing us,

Bringing light and gentleness

As it smiles

I closed my eyes and was enveloped

By the tenderness of your warmth

Unseen by anyone within a dream,

I was smiling

In this haven, you teach me of love

With your gentle voice

Surely I'd received something precious

Too much for this body, an artificial life,

This warmth is beyond even words...

The wind always carries the beautiful seasons with its purity

Erasing the pain and leading to the indigo sky

There is never just a single answer

Guided by the bond between us,

With you who with a smile believes in me,

Together, we'll keep walking

Swept away by an innocent wind, splitting apart the clouds

Even for a soul without a pulse

Ah, at least against the morning sun

This miracle

"Thank you for being by my side......"

I stopped playing and stared at the keyboard

This song... Innocent Wind... A song Haruka-chan wrote.

"Did I wake you up?" I asked.

"I saw you leave so I went to check on you," Ai replied.

"I see..."

"Here," he said and rolled out a huge piece of paper.

I glanced at it and fell of my chair in shock.

"THIS SCHEDULE IS SO... I don't have anything to say about this schedule anymore..." I sighed and sprawled on the floor.

"It's so packed that I don't see a 'break' there..."  I whined.

"Breaks are useless and a waste of time," he says.

"Hey! That's because you are a robot! Don't expect that everyone is the same as you!" I pouted and got up. Then, I stormed out. "I AM NOT FOLLOWING YOUR DAMN SCHEDULE!"

It's like our roles have been switched...

I use to be the one who makes the rules and teaches Ai.

Now he is the one doing it.
