I woke up really early this one saturday morning. I was thinking of sleeping a bit more but I just can't sleep right now. I decided to change clothes to my uniform and went to school because it's gonna be half-day today.
Along the way to school, it feels like a strange day. I already got used in going to school late that's why a scene where I see many students going to school together with me is right now, really different, really strange... Like there's going to be something big happening today. I just walked to school not minding any other things.
I went straight to our classroom. I sat on the chair between the window and the empty seat of Sunohara. I looked through the window until the first period starts. I don't really pay attention to the class. I just go to school, sitting and doing nothing. Everyday that passed was just like that. Time passed by with me only thinking about things not related to our discussion.
Now it's time to go home. I prepared my things inside my bag but then caught a glance of something from the window. A round animal and Kyou is holding it... It must be Botan. I was about to go now but I just can't help it but stare at Kyou. Somehow, I feel that she is lonely. Even though she is smiling, I just feel it. And they left after a few seconds.
I went home alone because Sunohara didn't come to school today. I changed my clothes and went to the dorm where Sunohara is staying. I went straight to his room and found him lying on his bed and reading manga in his room. I decided to talk about what I saw just a while ago.
"Sunohara, why do you think she's lonely?" I started the topic
"She? Who do you mean?" Sunohara looked at me. He is confused. Of course he won't be able to tell who's the person I'm talking about.
"Fujibayashi Kyou" I told him
"Ah, that girl... It must be lovelife." He continued to read his manga after answering my question. He doesn't seem to be interested with the topic.
"Lovelife? How can you tell?"
"You know, girls her age are most of the time, lonely because of not having a lovelife. Especially when she already loves someone but that guy doesn't have any clue. You, what are you gonna feel if you're in her situation?" He asked me with a simple question yet I can feel the seriousness of it.
"Well, yeah. Lonely..." That would be the appropriate answer.
"See."
I started a new topic. Time went by with us talking about nonsense. I went home and slept.
Morning came. It's Sunday today. I don't need to wake up early so I slept again. After I while I woke up. It's 10:30 AM already. I just ate breakfast. After that, I decided to take a stroll around the park. After going to the park, I went to the shopping district. After a few minutes of walking around and looking at what the stores are selling, I saw Kyou. There is that feeling again. The feeling of loneliness. I can't stop thinking about it. Am I worried about that feeling of loneliness? Or am I worried about Kyou? That moment, Sunohara's voice came into my mind.
' Especially when she already loves someone but that guy doesn't have any clue.'
' but that guy doesn't have any clue'
' that guy'
She saw me staring at her. She walked near and greeted me.
"Ah! Tomoya! What are you doing here?"
"Ah, w-well... I'm just wandering around then I got here." I wonder why I feel nervous. Maybe it is because I was caught staring at her.
"Hey Tomoya, you're blushing..." She stared and grinned at me.
"Eh?" I calmed myself after. "Uh, anyway, how about you? What are you doing here?" I changed the subject.
"Window shopping" She smiled. At that moment, I began to think... She's really pretty when she smiles like that. Though what Sunohara said just kept bugging me. ' Especially when she already loves someone but that guy doesn't have any clue.'
"Uhmm, Kyou, want to go somewhere? Together with me?"
"S-sure..." She was quite surprised and she blushed slightly.
We walked shoulder by shoulder. Talking about things until it reached to this topic.
"Kyou, do you already have a boyfriend? Or someone you love?" She stopped walking. And I did the same. Suddenly, the tension became heavy. Sunohara's voice was there again. 'but that guy doesn't have any clue.' It feels like that what Sunohara said directly hitted me.
"Actually, I do have someone I love" Kyou said. With that, somehow, I felt sad.
"Can I know who he is?"
"..." She kept quiet staring on the ground. I was worried on who does she love. I think I'm starting to realize. To realize what I feel. Why I feel lonely when ever I see her all alone and sad. Why I care for her so much. I am sure that what I feel for her is... love.
"Tomoya..." She looked at me with serious eyes.
"Y-yes?" My heart is beating fast...
"The one I love..." I think I'm gonna collapse. Please say it already...
"Is you." What?
"Huh?" Is all what I can say.
"Idiot! I said, the one I love is you!" With that, she punched me lightly.
"Kyou..." I'm happy with what she said. It's a good thing that I was able to realize before this time came. I wonder what will happen if I never knew what I felt for her.
"I love you too." I hugged her tightly. And she hugged back. The days of being alone and the days of being lonely, will now be gone and will be replaced by the days of being happy together with Kyou.
