Once Upon a Rainy Saturday'When I see you,
I feel like staring down the sun.
And I'm blinded…'
- Blinded by Third Eye Blind.
It was a rainy Saturday when he came by to my house. The rain soaked him with his trench coat clinging tightly to his skin. His hair plastered around his face, framing his chiseled cheekbones in perfection. An almost sheepish grin curved in his lips as he asked me whether he could enter the house and maybe spend that rainy Saturday with me.
I can't remember the things that I have said to him back then, but I must have granted his wish for he ended up lounging the warm couch of my living room. So I went to the kitchen and made him some hot chocolate. I only add a teaspoon of sugar on it because I know how he disliked sweet things like candy bar or milk chocolate; or how he had always liked his coffee plain and bitter. And he in return had always known about my preference on milk on any kind of drink.
I stopped in the middle of my hot chocolate stirring. Why? Well I don't really remember but it certainly has something to do with him. Maybe I was remembering the friendship bond that we have and how it has survived everything that's been happening to us. We've been friends for as long as I remember.
In the middle of my self-absorbed thought, somehow, I felt his hand gently squeezed my shoulder and finally brought me back to reality. I blushed in embarrassment and for some unknown reasons I began to feel so nervous when I finally realized how close we are standing to each other in my small and cramped kitchen.
His emerald eyes showed worry and concern and he asked me if I was all right. I stuttered in my reply and nervously trying to get myself away from him. It was a bad decision. In order to do so I was almost tripped myself in the kitchen and ended up throwing the hot chocolate to his shirt.
He only gasped while I remain frozen in my spot, unable to move. The problem is I've developed the so-called 'panic disorder' after the war thus I started to hyperventilate, and sunk myself to the floor. Fortunately, his arms were there to catch my fall.
He just sat there on the kitchen floor with his limb tangled in mine, soothing me with his soft-spoken words. And it's amazing to feel his hands making little circular moves at my back. My breathings started to get even and I began to relax within his arms.
It felt so nice to have his body so close to mine, to have my arms around his waist. If you were in my position, I'm sure you'd feel the same too. It felt so perfect to be held within the arms of the one you love.
And it was when I started to panic again. Oh my god! What if he realized the whole situation?!
Abruptly I pushed him away. He was surprised I can tell, he even looked almost hurt. He said, "Kira, what's wrong?"
And in return I turned my back hastily and said the words I have always wanted to say. But then again, somehow, it didn't end up sounding like the way I wanted them to be, I was meant to say 'I love you' not, "I HATE YOU!!!"
Athrun was stunned, shocked, and… hurt? Well, who wouldn't if your best friend was telling you such things like that?
I nearly let an undignified shriek and stammered my apology before rushing out from my house and ran as fast as I can before he was able to catch me.
I can't cry anymore. I have cried too many tears under the rain that fell on that damned Saturday. It's been two week ever since but I still can't face him. Cagalli said I'm over reacted; Athrun is not some jerk like the others. But I'm almost positive that he was angry to me or maybe even worse he could've hate me by now.
So here I am, lying in the middle of the open field where we used to play together back in our childhood days, trying to ease my pain, and wishing that he were here with me once again.
"Athrun…" I whisper his name to the sky softly and watch the clouds drifted by the wind. I wish he could hear me now.
"Kira."
