Hi, my dear reader. Someone once said the way I write was kind of poetic, so I wanted to try something like that after so many years since I received that comment. This oneshot can be taken as a sort of a complement to my story Sweets Paradise, elaborating on Himawari's feelings, but I think it works nicely as it's own story as well. I went far with the sweetness and the fluff on this one, and I hope it's enjoyable, despite it's length. Now, without further ado.

"Because you are my rival!"
Said the girl who now sleeps, clinging to my arm.
"I hate you!"
Said the girl who now hugs me, seeking warmth as we wait for our train.
"I am definitely not losing to you!"
Said the cute girl who is my childhood friend.
Oh, Sakurako. Why do we even need to fight? Is it not so much better like this, hugging and being close just as we were back then? Can't you see how much better it is if we are going together, and against each other? How did we even start fighting? It has been so long, and I don't remember. What I feel is definitely not anger, but I wonder, have your feelings at all changed?
How much I hope they did.
We are supposed to be rivals, but you're always there to support me.
We sometimes fight, but cannot keep away from the other for long.
And when it comes to doing something, we're always the best pair.
"You're so warm, Himawari!"
Of course I am!
Everyone is looking at us.
And we're close.
And you are close.
Darn you and your soothing smell of shampoo. Darn you and your warmth.
Have you ever wondered why I don't push you away?
I wonder if your feelings towards me have at all changed.
How much I hope they did.
For mine certainly have.
"I love you."

How was this? The idea came as I saw a picture in dynasty-scans, the one in the cover, as I heard some music from Kuroshitsuji, which set the mood, and was inspired as well by my other story I mentioned before. It's an one-shot, but it makes me wonder how Sakurako would reply to Himawari's confession. I hope this was enjoyable, and I would enjoy it very much to read your comments. It would make my day! : )
Until next time~
