Promise – (Prologue)
"What's this feeling? I . . . I can't describe what's beginning to spread, deep beneath my chest, and down to the very tip of my toes. I'm crying . . . so much. I don't know why. I . . . feel lonely but i-impossibly happy. I can't shake the feeling. It's so bittersweet."
"Why can't I stop? This joy, this loneliness is just . . . so indescribable that my emotions have gotten the better of me. Could this mean that . . . that I'm allowed to be myself? That I can be a better person without having to be afraid of someone seeing? Maybe I can finally show everyone who I am and who I can be. Maybe I can show her that I can truly be the greatest provider."
"I most definitely believe it . . . . ."

"Yuki? Yuki, you alright?" asked Kakeru, suddenly bewildered. Yuki wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, though his tears failed to stop. He couldn't describe how embarrassing it was to weep like this in front of his council partner. At least no one else was around for the moment.
"I'm . . . I'm fine," replied Yuki, looking away gingerly.
" . . . . . . Dare I ask?"
"Heh . . . . y-you wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me."
"No . . . . i-it doesn't matter now. It's all in the past and that's all it'll ever be . . ."
Yuki looked to the sky and breathed in deeply, for what seemed almost like the first time. He could do it without the feeling of something else doing it for him. He no longer had the urge to wheeze or break into sudden, aching tears of frustration.
The curse was lifted, and he was exhilarated. If only he could cry out in joy alone. To bring out his inner soul, full of a raging fire, and let it burst out for everyone to behold. It was a feeling of joy that he'd never be able to relive like this again. Something like this was precious.
Yuki swung his head back, flipping his bangs out of his face and closing his eyes, breathing in the soft, free air around him. He breathed out and smiled contently.
In the back of his mind, a calm, powerful, unknown voice rang out in his brain. It echoed in his head a million times and brought a sad and bitter smile to his lips.
"You are the last . . . . . . my long lost friend . . . ."

I hope you liked this prologue. :)
This is another story, along with Happiness Is, that I'll be working.
Don't worry; I have it all under control.
I've already written out several chapters to both stories. I just need to type them up. I apologize for the wait, but I DO have lots of other hobbies and jobs to do. I will tell you on my updated profile when I will update this story. Until then, adieu.
