This is the first GumixAkaito fanfic! Whoooooot! I feel proud of myself. :) AkaitoxGumi doesn't sound so bad, right? Right?
Oh yeah, just a little FYI, Gumi isn't in the story yet. She'll appear in the next chapter!
Prologue
When I was little, I was alone. My world was black with no sight of light. The kids in my neighborhood always made fun of me and I would reply back by hitting them. They called me a bully and retreated in defeat. My brother, Kaito, would come with an ice pack and a bag of bandages to treat my wounds. This was a everyday routine; I was used to it. I had no room for the so-called "love" in my heart.
But that all changed when I met Luka.
Luka wasn't just a normal girl. No. In fact, she was a very special girl. She was an angel who accepted me for who I am. I first met her when I was seven. I was sitting in the grassy field just a couple of minutes away from my house after fighting a group of gangsters who ran away after I punched a guys nose as hard as I could. I dozed off until a shadow appeared and blocked the sunlight. Thinking it was the gangsters from earlier, I snapped my eyes open and growled. But I slowly loosened when I saw her pink hair flowing in the same direction the wind was blowing. Her glistening blue eyes dazzled me as she met mine. The way she laughed and spoke to me was soothing enough to melt my heart. Before I knew it, we became friends. We held hands and ran down the hill near my neighborhood everyday, laughing the whole time. I liked her. And soon, that "like" turned into "love." For a person like me, something like "love" was impossible, but this time it wasn't. I truly loved her with all my heart.
When we turned fourteen, I asked her to meet me at the field where we first met. She agreed to meet me and I was so happy that I practically skipped there. Even the neighbors were looking at me like I was retarded. I waited impatiently for her to arrive, and when I saw her coming, I saw that she wasn't alone. She was walking side by side with my brother, hand in hand, laughing to whatever stupid joke he was telling her. I stood there not sure what to do. When they finally approached me, the first thing she told me was,
"Akaito, look!" she raised the hand she was holding with my brother. "We're going out! Kaito and I are officially dating!" Her smile was like the sun showing its brightness to the whole world. I didn't say anything back. My heart was broken.
"That's...great." I gritted my teeth.
"Akaito?" Kaito reached out to pat me.
"Stop." I spat, pulling away.
That was when my world turned black once again.
