9 I’ve never been one to get crushes; actually, I never HAVE had a
|
|
rlm@0
|
10 crush. I never even had a crush on you. I just fell head-over heels
|
|
rlm@0
|
11 in love with you, straight from the moment I met you. Even if it
|
|
rlm@0
|
12 seems as if I don’t…it only shows through at small moments. But
|
|
rlm@0
|
13 that’s how I want it.
|
|
rlm@0
|
14
|
|
rlm@0
|
15 Do you know what kind of love I mean? The romantic, passionate kind
|
|
rlm@0
|
16 that keeps you going? The kind where you would sacrifice your life of
|
|
rlm@0
|
17 feelings or anything for the sake of the one you love without a
|
|
rlm@0
|
18 second thought? It’s scary, in a way.
|
|
rlm@0
|
19
|
|
rlm@0
|
20 Because you may never be loved back.
|
|
rlm@0
|
21
|
|
rlm@0
|
22 But it’s okay, I guess. I don’t like the thought of you getting
|
|
rlm@0
|
23 together with someone else. But that’s the way I am. Jealous. It’s so
|
|
rlm@0
|
24 hard not to just reach out and take your hand, and ask if you would
|
|
rlm@0
|
25 like to dance. But then, I’m getting used to being a wallflower,
|
|
rlm@0
|
26 leaning against the cold, hard stone, watching the couples twirl
|
|
rlm@0
|
27 about in patterns I couldn’t hope to break into, dancing along with
|
|
rlm@0
|
28 you as my partner. You need to have a partner, after all, to dance at
|
|
rlm@0
|
29 these things.
|
|
rlm@0
|
30
|
|
rlm@0
|
31 They all like you too. It hard to see how they couldn’t. I never
|
|
rlm@0
|
32 thought I would fall in love, but after I met you it wasn’t hard to
|
|
rlm@0
|
33 see how I could. But I had promised I would only watch you, knowing
|
|
rlm@0
|
34 that you would fall for one of them. Guessing you would fall for one
|
|
rlm@0
|
35 of them. Wishing you wouldn’t, that you’d look into my eyes and see
|
|
rlm@0
|
36 everything I can’t say for fear of scaring you off. That you’d accept
|
|
rlm@0
|
37 it. That you’d feel the same way.
|
|
rlm@0
|
38
|
|
rlm@0
|
39 My heart is very, very bad. It’s not making this whole ‘not saying
|
|
rlm@0
|
40 anything’ thing any easier on me.
|
|
rlm@0
|
41
|
|
rlm@0
|
42 You see my gaze and smile gently, the smile that makes my heart
|
|
rlm@0
|
43 flutter. “Erika-chan, would you like to dance? Everyone else is still
|
|
rlm@0
|
44 at the refreshment table, and this is my favorite song.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
45
|
|
rlm@0
|
46 My mouth must have said something without my permission again,
|
|
rlm@0
|
47 because now I’m dancing with you, twirling about in the dances that
|
|
rlm@0
|
48 meant so little when I was just watching them. I’m surprised to note
|
|
rlm@0
|
49 that you’re exactly my height now; I used to be taller. We pull
|
|
rlm@0
|
50 closer and I see that you’re mouthing the words, singing ever so
|
|
rlm@0
|
51 softly, eyes at your feet.
|
|
rlm@0
|
52
|
|
rlm@0
|
53 And you look up, seeing my eyes on you once again. And you smile,
|
|
rlm@0
|
54 the simple expression faltering. “E…Erika-chan…”
|
|
rlm@0
|
55
|
|
rlm@0
|
56 “Hai?” We’re slowing down a bit, earning us angry glares from other
|
|
rlm@0
|
57 couples.
|
|
rlm@0
|
58
|
|
rlm@0
|
59 “I…” You clear your throat. “I’ve been meaning to tell you
|
|
rlm@0
|
60 something.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
61
|
|
rlm@0
|
62 “What is it?” I think my heart just sped up quite a bit.
|
|
rlm@0
|
63
|
|
rlm@0
|
64 “I like someone.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
65
|
|
rlm@0
|
66 And then stopped. “Oh…um…oh, hey, there’s the others with the
|
|
rlm@0
|
67 drinks!” I’m about to go over to them, to my best friend and my other
|
|
rlm@0
|
68 friends, but you grab my hand.
|
|
rlm@0
|
69
|
|
rlm@0
|
70 “Erika-chan! Hold on for just one moment!” You pause, then sigh. “I
|
|
rlm@0
|
71 don’t think they like me back.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
72
|
|
rlm@0
|
73 I stop, if only because you look so sad. “I’m sure they like you
|
|
rlm@0
|
74 back.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
75
|
|
rlm@0
|
76 You smile sadly. “As a friend only. Erika-chan, I’ve been meaning
|
|
rlm@0
|
77 to tell you who I…”
|
|
rlm@0
|
78
|
|
rlm@0
|
79 My brain tells me I should run before my heart gets broken. My
|
|
rlm@0
|
80 heart disagrees, though it doesn’t want to be broken. It wants to
|
|
rlm@0
|
81 stay with you.
|
|
rlm@0
|
82
|
|
rlm@0
|
83 “…Who I like. I like you, Erika-chan.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
84
|
|
rlm@0
|
85 …
|
|
rlm@0
|
86
|
|
rlm@0
|
87 …
|
|
rlm@0
|
88
|
|
rlm@0
|
89 …
|
|
rlm@0
|
90
|
|
rlm@0
|
91 What just happened?
|
|
rlm@0
|
92
|
|
rlm@0
|
93 “You…you what?”
|
|
rlm@0
|
94
|
|
rlm@0
|
95 You look away. “I like you, Erika-chan.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
96
|
|
rlm@0
|
97 “That…that can’t be true…”
|
|
rlm@0
|
98
|
|
rlm@0
|
99 And then you lean in and kiss me, once.
|
|
rlm@0
|
100
|
|
rlm@0
|
101 I really must be going insane. “But…”
|
|
rlm@0
|
102
|
|
rlm@0
|
103 “Gomenasai…I…” You turn to leave.
|
|
rlm@0
|
104
|
|
rlm@0
|
105 “Karin-chan, wait!” I grab your hand this time, and you turn back
|
|
rlm@0
|
106 to look at me, tears streaming down your face. “I…I like you too.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
107
|
|
rlm@0
|
108 And then we’re hugging, and I feel a tap on my shoulder.
|
|
rlm@0
|
109
|
|
rlm@0
|
110 “Congratulations! We got the whole thing on tape!” Ikki beams,
|
|
rlm@0
|
111 proud of himself for not leaving the cap on the camera, most likely.
|
|
rlm@0
|
112 He winks at me. Of course he knew whom I liked. He IS my best friend,
|
|
rlm@0
|
113 after all. He used to have a crush on Karin, but then, he tends to
|
|
rlm@0
|
114 get crushes. “Right Metabee?”
|
|
rlm@0
|
115
|
|
rlm@0
|
116 “Yo, Ikki? Kogee’s out cold…” Metabee sweatdropped.
|
|
rlm@0
|
117
|
|
rlm@0
|
118 “Probably from seeing his life-long love kiss someone else.”
|
|
rlm@0
|
119 Sumiladon replied, shaking Kogee.
|
|
rlm@0
|
120
|
|
rlm@0
|
121 “Kogee-kun has a life-long love?” You ask, blinking.
|
|
rlm@0
|
122
|
|
rlm@0
|
123 Somehow I have a feeling you never had crushes either.
|
|
rlm@0
|
124
|
|
rlm@0
|
125 Owari!
