The sound of Natsuki lightly groaning in her sleep as she softly cuddles you wakes you up. You lay in bed for a solid fifteen minutes while observing Natsuki being cute, before freeing her from sleep as well. She yawns, "Hold on, gimme a minute.." Before immediately snoozing off again. You decide to wake her up after you're ready for the day, and you head to the bathroom to do just that. Emerging five minutes later, dressed and prepared. "Natsuki..?" You whisper, softly stroking her cheek. "You gotta wake up, now." Natsuki slowly rises, rubbing her eyes and looking at the clock hung on the wall. "(y/n) you do realise it's one-thirty AM, we're not gonna make it to school in time, right?" She says, sleepily stifling an innocent chuckle.
"Uhm.. oh yeah." Damn, how long DID you sleep? Ah well, it's only a single day you'll miss. You sit with her as she gets dressed in casual clothing, until the doorbell rings.
"Uh, I'll get it." You say, heading downstairs to get the door.
An old, balding man stands at the door. They appear weak and frail with a burn scar on their arm. They open their mouth, their voice cracked and dry. "H.. Have you seen my daughter."
"Uh.. No sir, what does she look like?" Within an instant you knew who it was. But you kept cool, you were a good liar.
"Pretty short, thin, pink hair, bit slutty. Does that ring a bell?" He says, chuckling in a hushed crackle at the latter adjective.
"Er.. No.." You say, pretending to rattle your mind for a match to the description.
"Ahhh... alright, take care then, sonny." He splutters in between nicotine inherent coughs, before stumbling away.
Oh god...
You take a fair few moments to consider what just happened. You could tell he didn't believe you, you saw it in his eyes. You head upstairs. The ambiance is suddenly quiet, and the air feels cold and stagnated.
...
You slowly open the door...
"N-Natsuki!" You almost yell. Natsuki is sitting on the windosill, staring down at the large drop that could definitely end her life with ease.
"Hi.. (y/n).." Natsuki says in an all too familiar melancholy voice, dangling her feet precariously off the edge.
"Natsuki.. W-What are you doing..?" You choke out, too shocked to move.
"I knew my dad would come for us, and I know he's going to try to take me back." Natsuki says, a bitter, ironic smile plastered unconvincingly on her face in place of her usual sweet, wholesome one.
"You don't have to kill yourself over it, get down from there..!" You say, slowly moving towards her.
"Don't touch me." You stop. "I don't want to go back, (y/n), and I won't."
"Natsuki, please..." You're at a complete loss for words.
"It's okay, (y/n). Remember that park we visited all the time as kids, remember when I hugged you and told you I'd be happy as long as you were? Well, you'll be sad for now, but in the end when I'm gone for good you'll of realised I just caused more problems for you..." her eyes duck down to the street below.
"...And you'll be happy."
"Natsuki, no I won't, you gotta snap out of this!"
"Why should I?"
"I.. I'll miss you, we'll all miss you.."
Natsuki says nothing.
"And if you leap, then I'll leap with you." You firmly say.
Natsuki looks up at you, shocked at your shift of tone.
"I-I don't want to jump anymore." Natsuki feels a chill through their spine.
"Come on off the window, then."
Natsuki tries to turn around, but she loses her footing and slips, in which she doesn't even let out a scream, not even a squeal. This was her fault as far as she was concerned.
...
"W-What?" Natsuki doesn't open her eyes.
She hasn't hit the ground yet.. In fact it feels as though she's floating.
She looks up, and notices you've grabbed her right hand just before she fell. Her legs swing loosely over thin air.
"I got you." You say, pulling Natsuki back in through the window, quickly shutting it.
Natsuki embraces you and hugs you harder than you thought humanly possible, immediately you softly land on the bed. "(y/n), p-please don't let me do that ever again." She weeps in between heaving sobs.
"Shh.. It's okay, you're safe now." You say, stroking her hair to calm her down.
A few hours later, Natsuki brings up the subject of her dad."W-What are we gonna do?"
"Don't worry about that for now, Natsuki. You're safe now.."
...
"In my arms.." You add..
