Doomsday (Zayne Tender Moment)

Zayne and I are at the grocery store. We just finished picking out all the necessary ingredients for dinner, and we're now passing through the snack aisle.

Main Character: Chips, seaweed, crackers... huh? How did this box of chocolate cake sneak its way in?
Zayne: It didn't "sneak" its way in.

I narrow my eyes at Zayne, who's blatantly putting another box of biscuits into the shopping cart.

I grab it from him and point to the third ingredient listed on the box. It's white sugar.

Main Character: Who was in pain because of their toothache last week? Guess someone already forgot what that felt like...
Zayne: ...Who's in pain again?
Zayne: Wasn't it you when you stubbed your toe on the table leg last week? What about the time your hand got caught in the door last month?
Main Character: ...
Main Character: It doesn't matter. You're not allowed to eat this!
Zayne: ...

Zayne reluctantly puts the cake back onto the shelf.

Zayne: You're always making a fuss for no reason.
Main Character: What did you just say?
Zayne: You always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Zayne: So you insisted on meeting up today just so you can supervise my diet?
Main Character: That's not the only reason...

I show him a doomsday article from a social media account I follow on my phone.

Zayne: ...The world is ending?
Main Character: Stop right there, Mister. I know you want to mock me for believing it. But let me explain...
Zayne: Let's hear it.
Main Character: Hmph, it's probably fake news... But no one knows what will happen in the future. It could be true and-
Zayne: It's possible.
Main Character: Really? You agree?
Zayne: Mh-hmm.
Zayne: Which means...

Zayne glances at his watch, then turns to get the cake from the shelf.

Zayne: If a meteor hits the Earth in three hours, it wouldn't matter if I get a toothache or not.

After returning home, Zayne and I head to the kitchen to prepare our dinner,

Main Character: ...Darn. Are you out of soy sauce?
Zayne: There's more in the cupboard.

I glance at the cupboard overhead, then get on my tiptoes.

I struggle to reach it. Then, someone opens it effortlessly as he stands behind me.

Zayne: Here.
Main Character: Your cupboard is too high up. You're the only one who can reach it.
Zayne: It's not like anyone visits my house.
Main Character: What am I, then?
Zayne: What's in your hand?
Main Character: ...

I look at the open bottle of soy sauce. I'm speechless.

Zayne: Your food is burning,

Zayne swiftly takes the spatula from my hand.

Main Character: Hey, you just stole my chance to show off my cooking skills!
Zayne: Next time.
Zayne: The world is ending in two hours. I don't want to spend that time putting out a fire.
Main Character: ...

Pretending to cry, I grab a couple of tissues.

Main Character: Waaah, this is so sad. In your kitchen, I get beaten like an egg...
Zayne: ...We're not making a cake. There will be no beating of eggs.
Zayne: Also...

Zayne moves my tissues aside.

Zayne: If you're going to act sad, don't hide behind tissues and giggle.

He puts his right arm over my shoulder and turns me to the kitchen door.

Zayne: There are new video games under the coffee table.
Zayne: You can take the time to choose some.

I sit on the carpet, picking out games to play. I also look at Zayne through the glass kitchen door every once and a while.

Main Character: Mage Duel... The gameplay doesn't really grab me.
Main Character: What about Golden Shrine Quest?
Zayne: You fell asleep after playing it for three minutes last time.
Main Character: ...Explains why I don't remember it.
Main Character: Oh, this one seems pretty good.

I take out the game that caught my eye.

Main Character: How about Girl Who Saves The World? Isn't it... appropriate?
Zayne: All right.

Holding out his hand, Zayne looks down at me.

Zayne: Let's eat our last dinner together first.

Afterward, Zayne and I sit on the living room carpet, nibbling on snacks. We play the games I chose.

But as it gets closer to eight o' clock, I can't focus on what we're playing.

Main Character: (I don't really believe in those doomsday articles. But why do I feel nervous right now...)
Zayne: You weren't even that good at this, and now you can't concentrate.

I quickly turn my head, meeting Zayne's calm gaze.

Main Character: No, I...
Main Character: ...
Zayne: You're also lying.
Main Character: ...

Unable to deflect Zayne's "accusation," especially when there's evidence on the screen, I have no choice but to put down my controller.

Zayne: It seems you're calling it quits again.

I snatch away his controller.

Main Character: Now both of us have given up.

I move a little closer to Zayne.

Main Character: The world's about to end in four minutes. Why aren't you nervous?!
Zayne: Being nervous won't change the outcome. Besides, we had our last dinner.
Main Character: I can't believe how nonchalant you are...
Zayne: It's time to clean up.
Main Character: Wait... If we're still around in a few minutes, we can clean up then.
Main Character: Let's not waste our time.
Zayne: What should we waste it on? Tell me.
Main Character: Like... Before the meteor hits, are there any wishes you still want to make?
Zayne: Is it possible to make a wish without cake and candles?
Main Character: True...

Unsure of what else to say, I look around.

To my surprise, Zayne takes out a piece of cake from the box and holds it before me.

Zayne: Use this. There's not much time left.
Zayne: You first.
Main Character: ...

No matter how hard I try, I'm unable to come up with anything.

Zayne: You can't think of any wishes yourself? Yet you had the audacity to make me go first.

I take Zayne's hand and put a piece of cake in it.

Main Character: Because I need you to inspire me.
Zayne: ...
Zayne: I don't have any wishes.
Zayne: If anything, all of them came true today.
Main Character: ...But we just went to the grocery store, cooked, and played video games. These are just common, everyday things.
Zayne: So you do want to become the girl who saves the world.
Main Character: I didn't mean it like that...
Zayne: Indeed, they are common, everyday things in life...
Zayne: However, when the world is about to end, even they become precious.
Zayne: So they are the things I want to do the most. In other words...
Zayne: If a meteor actually hits the Earth, I can't think of a better way to spend my last moments.

It's rare to hear him say such sincere words. Perhaps it's because of the doomsday article...

Main Character: Really... That's all, huh.

Before I can speak, he shows me his watch.

Zayne: And even if I wanted to do something else, there's not enough time.

His watch reveals there are five seconds left until eight o' clock.

Main Character: !

But under Zayne's calm gaze, my heart feels at ease.

The seconds keep ticking away on his watch.

As Zayne looks at me, he slowly reaches out to hold my hand.

Zayne: However, perhaps we...

Three.

I'm unable to look away. My mind goes blank.

Zayne: We can still do one more thing.

Two.

He leans in, and our foreheads touch.

Zayne: ...

One.

At the very last moment, he silently kisses me on the lips.

A quick, fleeting peck. Yet it had been planned for a long time.

Everything is quiet, but I can hear flames erupting in my heart.

Main Character: That's...
Zayne: And if there's one more thing I'd like to do, then...

He kisses me again, more passionately this time.

Zayne: It's done.

I'm still in a daze. Zayne touches my burning face.

Zayne: That was a common, everyday thing too, no?
Main Character: O-of course not!
Zayne: I suggest you get used to it, then.

It's noon the next day. Warm sunlight shines through the windows. All is well.

Zayne: We waited all night, but the end of the world didn't come. We were tricked.
Main Character: Oh? Zayne...

I'm sitting on the carpet, playing with my phone. Zayne is resting his head on my thigh. He puts down the controller and looks up at me.

Main Character: The person who published that article got banned...
Main Character: So it really was fake news. The world isn't going to end. Today will be a normal day.
Zayne: Maybe it's because someone stayed up until three in the morning to save the world.
Main Character: I wasn't the only one... you were really into it, too!
Zayne: ...

I watch the few pieces of chocolate cake left on the side of his leg.

Main Character: Since a meteor won't be hitting Earth...

Then I take them away.

Main Character: Toothaches still matter!
Zayne: I suppose that means we also have more important things to do.

Zayne gently pulls me down and kisses my forehead.

Main Character: You...!

I pretend to be unfazed and turn my face away.

Main Character: I liked it when you didn't speak...
Zayne: We've only just started getting used to a new, common everyday thing.
