The first time I saw his face was when his soccer ball got kicked through my open window. His bright blue eyes stared into my own brown eyes as he asked me if I wanted to play with him. The first time I saw him smile was when I said yes.
My parents got angry at me for skipping piano practice that day, but he took the blame without a second thought, but I still got in trouble. It was the first time I saw him angry.
We went to the same school that year. Neither of us had any friends so we hung out with each other. The other kids bullied me sometimes but he'd always stand up for me. He was the person who made everything better. He was the person I looked up to.
When the simple times of elementary school came to an end, we wanted to stay together and we went to the same jr. high school. We both practiced every day and made it onto the soccer team, and that's when our joyful days at jr. high came to an end. Although the soccer we played wasn't real, I stayed strong. I was appointed captain because of the strength I desperately held onto. The strength I had because of him. The next thing I know, the person I looked up to, was looking up to me.
Our dreary days in the soccer club came to an end when a first year joined the soccer club. Before we knew it, we were all looking up to the first year who changed jr. high soccer, brought back real soccer.
Things got so crazy, I didn't think about him as much as I used to, even though he was always a thought lingering at the back of my mind. I never knew what he was feeling, when I had gotten back from time travelling to miximax. I had been far away from him for so long that I couldn't tell, and when I did, it was too late. But he stayed strong to keep the team held together. That was the strength I had always looked up to.
Right when we had been reunited, we were torn apart again when I had to go into space without him. When the others announced that he'd be captain while we were gone, I knew he could do it. I've never doubted him and he didn't let us down.
Finally, at the end of everything, we could be together again. Our simple days in elementary school where long gone, and we both knew that, but when I saw him when I got back from space, it was like the first time. It was the first time I looked at him, and realised that he was more than a friend to me.
Today, it was like the first time I saw his face when he asked me to marry him. It was like the first time I saw him smile when I said yes.
