9 I’ve never been one to get crushes; actually, I never HAVE had a
10 crush. I never even had a crush on you. I just fell head-over heels
11 in love with you, straight from the moment I met you. Even if it
12 seems as if I don’t…it only shows through at small moments. But
13 that’s how I want it.
15 Do you know what kind of love I mean? The romantic, passionate kind
16 that keeps you going? The kind where you would sacrifice your life of
17 feelings or anything for the sake of the one you love without a
18 second thought? It’s scary, in a way.
20 Because you may never be loved back.
22 But it’s okay, I guess. I don’t like the thought of you getting
23 together with someone else. But that’s the way I am. Jealous. It’s so
24 hard not to just reach out and take your hand, and ask if you would
25 like to dance. But then, I’m getting used to being a wallflower,
26 leaning against the cold, hard stone, watching the couples twirl
27 about in patterns I couldn’t hope to break into, dancing along with
28 you as my partner. You need to have a partner, after all, to dance at
29 these things.
31 They all like you too. It hard to see how they couldn’t. I never
32 thought I would fall in love, but after I met you it wasn’t hard to
33 see how I could. But I had promised I would only watch you, knowing
34 that you would fall for one of them. Guessing you would fall for one
35 of them. Wishing you wouldn’t, that you’d look into my eyes and see
36 everything I can’t say for fear of scaring you off. That you’d accept
37 it. That you’d feel the same way.
39 My heart is very, very bad. It’s not making this whole ‘not saying
40 anything’ thing any easier on me.
42 You see my gaze and smile gently, the smile that makes my heart
43 flutter. “Erika-chan, would you like to dance? Everyone else is still
44 at the refreshment table, and this is my favorite song.”
46 My mouth must have said something without my permission again,
47 because now I’m dancing with you, twirling about in the dances that
48 meant so little when I was just watching them. I’m surprised to note
49 that you’re exactly my height now; I used to be taller. We pull
50 closer and I see that you’re mouthing the words, singing ever so
51 softly, eyes at your feet.
53 And you look up, seeing my eyes on you once again. And you smile,
54 the simple expression faltering. “E…Erika-chan…”
56 “Hai?” We’re slowing down a bit, earning us angry glares from other
57 couples.
59 “I…” You clear your throat. “I’ve been meaning to tell you
60 something.”
62 “What is it?” I think my heart just sped up quite a bit.
64 “I like someone.”
66 And then stopped. “Oh…um…oh, hey, there’s the others with the
67 drinks!” I’m about to go over to them, to my best friend and my other
68 friends, but you grab my hand.
70 “Erika-chan! Hold on for just one moment!” You pause, then sigh. “I
71 don’t think they like me back.”
73 I stop, if only because you look so sad. “I’m sure they like you
74 back.”
76 You smile sadly. “As a friend only. Erika-chan, I’ve been meaning
77 to tell you who I…”
79 My brain tells me I should run before my heart gets broken. My
80 heart disagrees, though it doesn’t want to be broken. It wants to
81 stay with you.
83 “…Who I like. I like you, Erika-chan.”

91 What just happened?
93 “You…you what?”
95 You look away. “I like you, Erika-chan.”
97 “That…that can’t be true…”
99 And then you lean in and kiss me, once.
101 I really must be going insane. “But…”
103 “Gomenasai…I…” You turn to leave.
105 “Karin-chan, wait!” I grab your hand this time, and you turn back
106 to look at me, tears streaming down your face. “I…I like you too.”
108 And then we’re hugging, and I feel a tap on my shoulder.
110 “Congratulations! We got the whole thing on tape!” Ikki beams,
111 proud of himself for not leaving the cap on the camera, most likely.
112 He winks at me. Of course he knew whom I liked. He IS my best friend,
113 after all. He used to have a crush on Karin, but then, he tends to
114 get crushes. “Right Metabee?”
116 “Yo, Ikki? Kogee’s out cold…” Metabee sweatdropped.
118 “Probably from seeing his life-long love kiss someone else.”
119 Sumiladon replied, shaking Kogee.
121 “Kogee-kun has a life-long love?” You ask, blinking.
123 Somehow I have a feeling you never had crushes either.
125 Owari!
