Letters from Summer: Dear My Friend

Zero X Yuki

-Dear my friend

(June 5th, 11:52 pm)

Zero, I –

She crumpled that before she could even really start writing.

-Look at the sky

We're now looking at the same sky

(June 6th, 10:00 am)

Look, I don't know what you want from me. What do you want me to say? I'm still me. We didn't change that much –

Yuki snorted as she ripped the page apart. So much had changed, and he didn't want her to say anything. He wanted her dead.

-No matter how far we're apart

Same world, same generation

(June 15th, 5:36 pm)

Yuki sat there, rolling the pen between her fingers. Her eyes closed as she hummed to herself. How many times had she sat like this? Trying to work out math problems, while Zero helped her…

-Like the sea and the sky

If could also be connected somewhere

Zero,

How can I make this work?

I don't want you to only be a memory.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

And I can't run from you, not when I want to see you so badly.

All you want is my death.

Would you be able to live in peace after that?

If I lift Kaname –

She pushed the notebook away. Bile rose in her throat, and tears stung her eyes. She couldn't bare the thought.

-Dear my friend

If I could follow these clouds

I wonder if they would lead to your town

(June 23rd, 7:15 pm)

You piss me off. Did you know that? You won't even speak to me. Quit acting like a child and –

That paper didn't deserve to be thrown away. It deserved to be burned.

-Say "Hello."

I tried shouting your name

With a big voice into the sky

(June 30th, 3:30 am)

She realizes, after awhile, she's tired. She's tired of trying. But he was her best friend.

He's still her best friend. Her best friend who wants to kill her.

For once, she's glad Kaname isn't around. Because then he would see her tears.

-I truly miss you (haha)

Though, I can't even see you in my dreams

(July 3rd, 1:13 am)

She lays in bed awake again.

But Kaname is there this time, so she doesn't cry. She knows he's just as awake as she is.

All she can smell is the ashes left in the fireplace. (All that remains of her failed attempts.) She's never felt more selfish.

She just can't be happy with what she has.

Eyes closed, she's caught up in memories, the ones she can't see in her dreams.

-How, if I could only fly freely into the sky like those birds

Only, there are no wings for me

Instead, I can embrace you with these hands

So strongly, as if I envy the birds

(July 21st, 5:45 am)

Dear my friend,

I miss you.

I won't run from you, because running means I won't see you.

I don't know what to do.

I never had answers.

But I won't kill you.

You don't have to write back, I just needed to tell you.

I love you.

-Yuki

-Dear my friend

If I could grab hold of these clouds

I wonder if it would take me to where you are

And if we could meet again someday

Next time I'll grasp your hand tightly

So I can't lose you

Like a bird

Like the wind
