Speak in the Silence- JapanxReader

    I have been studying in Japan for several years, I have been trying to get my technology degree, but I can never pay attention with Kiku sitting in front of me. I have had a major crush on him since I met him, but he doesn't know I exist, sure I asked him if he had an extra pen a couple times, but besides I have never interacted with him. Well I guess I am going to go under the normal tree like I always. The tree is just like me, nothing special about it. I sit down under my tree and take out my books and attempt to stay focused. When I would look from the book I would see the cherry blossoms falling on all except my tree. I stared into my book, but all I could think about is Kiku, the way is jet black hair would fall into his dazzling brown eyes. Also how he would look adorable with his little nerdy glasses. I try my best to enjoy the silence. Wow, that guy over there looks just like him, wait is that him! Oh crap, he is coming towards me. I feel my cheeks warm up when he comes to sit next to me. 

    "Well isn't that odd?" He asks me, what is he talking about?

    "E-excuse me?" I ask him and he looks towards me, I feel my cheeks heat up even more.

    "All the cherry blossoms are falling besides this tree." He said looking around the trees a little more.

    "Well this tree is no different than the others, same color, same height. No difference, kinda like myself" I say to him in a bland expression. 

    "Like you (Your name)?" Wait a minute, he knows my name, but I never talk to him..... 

    "I like to think of you otherwise. You are really shy, but a hard worker, I know something just distracts you, like the tree you need some more time to get to know yourself." He says, my face is most likely on fire now 

    "There is no need to be embarrassed around me, I am your friend." He says holding his hand out to shake. I shake his hand. 

    "But I don't understand we never really talked before," I tell him.

    "We talk in silence, you never had much to say and neither have I, but we both find enjoyment in the silence,we are similar in that way and we should be nice to each other, since there is many that could not bear the silence." He says, I have no more to say, if he likes silence also, I should stay quiet. My cheeks calm down and we sit in silence.

     He takes out his book, I am going to assume to study I stare his way, I wonder if I could study with him. He nods his head and I scoot closer to him and we both start reading the book. We stay like this for about 30 minutes until we finish the book. We stand up and I look down to my shoes. I look up to him and he looks up to me, we stare at each other for a few minutes not in anger, but in relief. After five more minutes he wraps his arms around me, I feel my cheeks get a little bit warmer. I hug him back and I feel the blossoms falling around us, I may be just like this tree, but now I know that I am different not in a bad way, but in a good way. That is what I learned while I was in Japan.
