When you wish upon a star... (Makoto x Reader)

”Freak!”

”Weirdo! People like you shouldn’t exist!”

Words like these kept ringing in my ears. I had to pass a large group of popular girls to get forward and they didn’t hesitate to make fun of me again. Actually, they never hesitated to make every second of school a living nightmare. Tears blurred my vision as I
half ran through corridors, trying to get to front door and out of the school.

Once I was out of the building, I sighed in relief when a light breeze of wind swept through my hair that normally hung in front of my eyes, a little like a curtain between me and the rest of the world. I dug my bag for earphones and set my mp3-player to play my favorite anime opening. For a little while, I was free again.

The second I got home, I marched to my room, slammed the door shut and barged to my windowsill - my fortress of comfort. I felt like I could see the whole city sitting on there in fifth floor, observing small people rush by like ants. I lifted pillows behind my back and reached for my laptop. With a smooth wave of my wrist, I opened it and sat it over my thighs.

I couldn’t resist it; I had to watch an episode after another. I sat there, mesmerized by my favorite anime character of all time – Makoto Tachibana.

“He’s perfect,” I thought to myself, “kind, gentle, polite… At least he would accept me like I am, and not be like all others in school…”

I blushed at the thought and right after that I got mad at myself for wishing something so childish. A fictional character comes to life just for one miserable little girl? Fairytales.

As I shut my computer for the night, I glanced up just in time to see a meteor shower swooshing across the starry eternity. I stared up to the sky for good ten minutes, thoughts still on Makoto.

“I bet his hair is the softest,” I think again without noticing. “And I bet he gives the best kind of hugs…”
I fall asleep there on the windowsill without noticing that my laptop opened by itself, pushed by a hand from the inside.

I woke up to sunrise after what seemed like only minutes. I didn’t even realize there was someone else in my room as I collected myself from against the glass and rolled my shoulders to get them to relax. I jumped and let out a scream when I realized there was a really familiar figure at the edge of my bed. A pair of green eyes glimmered and ruffled-up brown hair fell to his eyes as he tilted his head and spoke up.

“Good morning, beautiful.”
