Oneshot. Really short.

-Best Mistake-
I'm Tenoh Haruka, twenty two years of age. I left home a year and a half ago and since then I've been living in a small apartment in this little rural town. I work as an assistant in a local fisherman's shop. It doesn't pay much but it's enough for the both of us. Truth be told, I had never imagined myself living and working in a small town, and neither did anyone from my family, but it happened. And what's even more surprising is I don't even feel regretful about it, not even a little bit. Maybe because ever since my path crossed hers, I started having a different aspiration: that is to just simply live in peace and happiness with her, with Michiru…
Yes, her.
I have fallen in love with a girl. And though I'm a girl myself, it doesn't feel wrong.
Actually, it felt perfectly right.
But, falling in love with the same sex is also a concept that is quite hard to understand or accept by most people.
And just when I thought that the people close to me, who knew me better than anyone, who should have loved me unconditionally would accept this concept as reality, ended up the one who are most against it.
I'm talking about family here...
We fought countless of times over this and argued more than I could even remember. They found it absurd and definitely crazy, a point which I clearly didn't understand. So I left home and lived with Michiru since then. They claim over and over again that it was a stupid mistake.
But…
Was it a mistake?
The sun's rays finally caught up onto the sea nymph's sleeping form. Her brows instantly creased as she mumbled in her sleep. A chuckle quietly escaped from the other person lying right beside her.
Gentle green eyes watched the woman's sleeping form intently; her blonde strands carelessly kept getting in her pale skin, while smiling happily in content. The other again murmured, now moving her body around on the bed then finally settling her position. The blonde's smile grew wider and softer as she stared at her lover's face.
I traded a wealthy life…
Left a spacious home…
Questioned all moral and religious belief…
And turned my back on family,
All for this.
She brought her hand up and gently brushed the strands falling from the other's face. Michiru snuggled closely to Haruka's palm and smiled with utter bliss.
Was it still a mistake?
Haruka smiled.
If every single morning I could,
Wake up to that serene face of hers…
Feel her warm body against mine…
And see that smile form around her lips…
If it is indeed a mistake,
Then…
Brows once again creased as she slowly opened up her eyes. Blue orbs now gently and lovingly looking at emerald ones.
"Hey," She smiled and said in between yawns, "You're up early, Ruka."
The other kept her gentle smile as she leaned closer and kissed the other. They parted, and with the same kind of smile, Haruka greeted, "Morning, Michi."
Then,
Michiru is the best mistake I ever made.
This was supposed to be somewhat romantic or sweet, but i think i failed. lol.. Story was highly inspired by what a friend of mine once said before. I believe some would relate to this. (i do...lol)
I kept this short since this will serve as a prologue for my upcoming oneshot "A Million Teardrops."
yes, I changed Haruka's age for some important reasons.
(I'm done writing ch.7 of three days but ended up unsatisfied with it so I had written it again but once again ended up unsatisfied with it. now I'm halfway through but still unsatisfied. I need someone to read ch.7 for me. if there's someone reading three days here, if you would like to volunteer, please send me an email. that would be a great help for me. Thanks! ^___^)
