The One That Got Away
Luke x Akari
It was a cold day in Casanet, and Akari was feeling especially lonely. It was the anniversary of the day she and Luke broke up, and all the other happy couples in town about to celebrate Winter Thanksgiving weren't helping her very much.
"Come hang with me and Owen." her best friend Cathy had said. The last thing Akari wanted to be was a third wheel, so she politely declined.
"Thanks but no thanks. Call me later and tell me how your night went." Walking past the bar, she saw the two of them kissing, and the pain hit her once again. Was it really only a year ago that'd she'd felt that joyful bliss? Had it really been that long since their relationship ending fight? Shaking her head, Akari tried to clear her mind. 'I can't do this to myself.' she thought when, suddenly, she heard a voice.
" You know, you're really bad about hiding your emotions." the familiar voice called. " Or maybe I just know you really well." Akair stopped walking and smirked.
" Luke, we dated for two years. I'd be disappointed if you didn't." Luke smiled his doofy smile that Akari had grown to love..
" You looked really sad, I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong." Akari smiled slighty, he did know her well.
"This time of year brings back memories, yeah?" she said, and Luke's smile changed to a sad one.
"Yeah..things didn't go exactly how we'd planned." A silence fell between the two. " But that doesn't mean we can't be happy, right?" Luke asks. For all the things Luke didn't know, and for the stupid things he said, he could always say the simplest words and change Akari's perspective.
"Of course." she said. "Luke, I wish you all the happiness in the world." Luke merely nodded and went on his way, knowing Akari knew he wished her the same. Akari stayed and watch until he was out of sight, then slowly, she turned back around to trek along into the darkness.
