Hey! :D
My first VK fic. Please review, even if you don't think it's good. :] I accept constructive criticism. :]
Anyway, sorry if there are mistakes. :D
Anyway, here's the story then!
...
Everyone; welcome one and all. Thank you for coming to the ball today. This event today is held to share some news to everyone who came here today. I would like to announce the engagement of my son Senri and Maia Sharabiko! Congratulations to them both.
In the corner of his eye, he saw Rima turn away and go out to the gardens after the announcement was made.
...
His own mom announced it. It was probably arranged by their families—maybe just all planned out by that mom of his. But if this had been arranged before, and he knew this was going to happen, why hadn't he told me anything?
Sitting on the edge of the fountain, I felt the tears stream down my cheeks.
Why... why does it hurt so much?
I clutched at my heart.
"Rima!"
It was his voice.
I stood up and tried to get away, but it was a poor effort since everything I saw was in a blue and green blur.
I pathetically tried to wipe my face dry on my dress, and tried to hide my attempt at that, too. Naturally, I failed at both, since the tears didn't stop falling, I couldn't see a thing, and the fact that I was only relying on my two feet to get away from him.
Then he grabbed my hand and turned me to face him. I tried to wriggle out of his grip, but that iron grip was what was stopping me from moving. I froze on the spot upon seeing his face.
It wasn't in its normal facade, the one we both wore to prevent the world from getting to us.
His face wore a look of sincerity, concern, and surprisingly, guilt.
I blinked a bit. His hold on me loosened a bit, but I still couldn't move. My vision cleared up, but I knew my face was probably a mess by now.
"Rima." He said softly, but with a convincing tone.
I couldn't reply.
"I don't love her. That's why I didn't tell you. I love you."
My tears started again.
How much I wanted to say I loved him back.
He probably didn't know it himself, but his fiancée was around.
She was probably pulled into this mess too, and ended up liking him.
I'm sure of it.
I looked away.
"But Shiki.. I.." my voice was all hoarse and my throat was sore, but I'm pretty sure he was hearing every word that came out of my stupid mouth.
"I d-don't feel that waaay about y-you.."
Pathetic.
I don't know if he believed it, since my face was saying the complete opposite of what I just voiced out.
How I wish he read people's expressions more than listening to the words they say.
I sighed to myself.
...what a stupid wish. We've been living in expressionless faces for too long.
.
.
What I told him was the biggest lie I have ever said in my life.
..I did it for her.
Well, they always said there was a first time to everything.
...
A/N: Sad, I know. Well, how was it? Review, guys. :]
The title is 'I Lied For Her', because Rima lied for Maia.
`With lots of love, Trixie :]
