"So this is Raimon huh?" I said while blankly staring at the school in front of me.
I smiled a little knowing that I was a little impressed that a small town school would be this big and extravagant. I was wearing a leather vest over my white tank top, a black skirt, and knee high boots. I guess you could say that I look like, or at least dressed like, some kind of rock star but that's just me.
I entered Raimon's gates and started to wander around. Some students would eye me sometimes or snicker, thinking I'm lost or something, but I couldn't careless. I've got confidence in how I look, but walking around in this big school was rather tiring so I approached a random student.
"Excuse me, but where's the classical music club?" I asked politely.
The student looked shocked at first, but calmed down and started giving me directions.
"However, club activities isn't until the end of the class." The student added.
"Is that so? Hmmm... I guess I'll just have to wait then." I replied while flashing a smile.
"Are you sure? It's still really early. Who are you looking for in that club anyway?" The student asked, curious.
"I'm looking for Shindou Takuto. He's in year two, I guess." I answered only to be shocked at the student's shocked face only to be followed by a giggle.
"Shindou-san isn't in the classical music club." The student said while I gave her a confused look.
'Takuto isn't in the classical music club? Where is he then?' I thought while I looked at the student, urging her to continue.
"He's in the soccer club. If you hurry, you can still catch him in the soccer field. They have morning practice everyday." She explained and started giving new directions.
"Thank you so much for your help." I said while bowing.
"Ah. No, it's fine really." She replied.
I left the building and followed her directions exactly as she said. It didn't took long before I reached the soccer field. I scanned the field, looking for the man I came here for. When I did, I felt my eyes sparkle, my heart beating irregularly, my entire body tensing up, and my voice ready to scream.
"TAKUTO!" I yelled in excitement as I ran to the man with short, wavy greyish brown hair and brown eyes, wearing the number 9 shirt also known as Shindou Takuto.
Everyone in the field seemed shocked at my sudden outburst except Shindou, who looked as happy as I am. I tackled hugged him, which he reciprocated, causing the two of us fall flat on the grass field.
"Yuri! What are you doing here?!" He asked as he started to stand up.
"Geez. I flew all the way here from America only to be greeted by that?" I playfully huff while he extended his arms to help me up and laughed at me.
"You know I didn't mean it that way." He said calmly, his voice so soothing.
"But what if you did?" I asked as I bit my lip trying to act really adorable.
"Stop that, would you? And I really didn't mean it that way." He said while laughing lightly.
"It'll be difficult to stop being adorable if you are one from the beginning." I stated while he just sighed in defeat.
"What are you wearing anyway? You look like some rock star punk, I don't really know, but you get my point." Shindou said while pointing at my clothes.
"Hey, I like what I'm wearing. It's comfortable, but of course, it's way more comfortable without the clothes." I teased while Shindou and everyone else just turned red. Everyone was silent, trying to digest what I just said.
"Shindou, who's she?" A pink haired person in pigtails, whose gender I'm still trying to debate mentally, said thus completely breaking the silence.
"Kirino, this is Kimiko Yuri. And she's ..."
"His fiancé." I finished, making everybody, Shindou included, shocked.
"Why do you looked shocked?!" Kirino asked Shindou with a wild expression.
"That's because he just found out." I answered Kirino's question. Kirino and the rest of the team just sweat dropped.
"So in other words, you're one of Shindou-san's overly obsessive fangirls whose screw got loose and believes you guys are engaged." A dull teal haired male said while snickering.
"Kariya!" Kirino scolded.
"Oh no, it's fine. I didn't know you grew this popular Takuto-kun." I said while Shindou just scratched the back of his head, trying to come up with an explanation.
"And no. I'm sane by the way. Takuto's family and my family have agreed to merge, and what better way than a marriage! We have been friends since childhood." I explained causing further confusion to everyone.
"How come I didn't know about any of these?" Shindou demanded although he doesn't look mad at all.
"I thought that it would be a great excuse so that I could return here in Japan." I replied cheerily while Shindou blushed a little.
"Besides Takuto-kun, I can clearly remember you proposing to me back then." I added while I try to hide my embarrassment.
Everyone went 'ehhhh!' while Shindou just blushed harder. My heart started to beat faster as I stared at his embarrassed look.
"Sorry, but that was a long time ago. I don't really recall doing or saying such thing." Shindou said softly but more than enough for everyone to hear.
The boys started ganging up on Shindou for saying such cruel words while I just stood there frozen, not really sure whether to cry or laugh, but sometimes, our bodies react before we can make up our minds. I felt tears streaming down my face while I gave a confused look. My left hand automatically reached for my right hand's pinky, twisting a silver ring that adorned my finger, for comfort.
'Why was I crying? Stop! You're making a fool of yourself!' I thought as I quickly wipe the tears away before anyone could notice.
"I'm guessing you dislike the idea of being arranged." I said while trying my best to smile. Everyone looked at me with caution.
"Yuri, are you ok?" Shindou asked carefully, trying to reach his hand to my face which I rejected by brushing it off. He looked kind of hurt from my action, but I've known Shindou the longest. He's a true gentleman.
"I'm fine really. Anyway, I'll just tell my parents to cancel the plans. I just wanted an excuse to roam around Japan anyway." I said while nearly choking from the lump forming in my throat.
'I can't last long. My eyes, they're about to explode.' I thought as I smiled at them.
"Anyway, I have a flight to catch tonight so if all of you would excuse me, I have to tour this town and buy stuff." I said before bowing and leaving.
Afternoon Practice
Shindou Takuto's POV
'She left. She left with those eyes screaming in agony, a fake smile, and a heavy heart. Why do I always screw things up with her?!' I mentally cursed.
"You ok with that?" Kirino asked worriedly. The team was doing their individual training.
"Ok with what?" I asked, pretending to not know.
"With her leaving. I have to say I am rather shocked by your response to her childhood memories." Kirino explained. I looked at him confused while he just replied with a sigh and a light face palm.
"I'm your best friend. I know you better than everyone here even you. I know well when you're lying, unsure, and there is no way you could have forgotten." He explained, his voice hinting irritation.
"Uhh.. My memories, my brain." I pointed out while he just looked at me with one brow raised as he pointed to my chest. Instinctively, I reached for my necklace, the one hidden from the eyes of everyone.
"That necklace, the one you never take off even when taking a bath, matches the ring on her finger." He said seriously.
"So? It's a common ring." I said defensively.
"I remembered asking you about that and I remembered you telling me that that ring on you necklace is the sole memory of your first love." He said, definitely proving a point.
I cursed under my breath. I forgot that Kirino was the only person who knew about the necklace.
"So I'm asking you one last time, are you ok with that? The woman you have love and long for leaving again only this time, if she ever came back, she might either be engaged to someone else or worse, married." He said in a dead serious voice.
My heart stopped.
'Married?' I thought over and over.
'Why didn't I think about that? She's kind, sweet, beautiful, and brilliant plus she's the daughter of one of the leading companies in America.' I thought some more as I felt my heart squeezing tighter.
"Kirino is right, Shindou. Can you live with regret knowing that it was you who rejected her, the fact that you didn't even do anything when you had the chance?" Coach Endou, who was eavesdropping, said.
I looked at him, eyes wet, while he replied with a large grin. Memories of the two of us started to flood in, the times when we were playing at my backyard, playing the piano together, taking an afternoon nap together, playing house, and the most memorable, playing bride and groom.
"Coach, please excuse me for practice today." I asked as I bowed. When I looked up, he gave me a nod of approval making me smile from ear to ear.
I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran.
Yuri's POV
Here I am, at the steel tower plaza. The townsfolk said that watching the sunset here was definitely breathtaking so I came here to find out if it was true.
I sat down at one of the benches before checking my watch.
'I have 2 hours left before my flight.'
I unconsciously reached for the ring on my finger as I felt a tear escape my eyes. My heart feeling heavy and trapped, but I did not stop reminiscing the memories I had with the man I have love. The man I only loved. I clenched my hand and pressed it on my chest as I cried my hearts out. I didn't care if I looked stupid to passing people, all I wanted now was to cry, to release all the pain that I have felt.
After what seems to be minutes, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I flinched before looking up to the owner of the hand. My eyes, wide in surprise as I looked at him. He was sweaty and was still wearing his jersey.
He sat down next to me before taking out a handkerchief. He started wiping my tears as I stared at his pained sweaty face. His eyes shows great sadness causing my heart to hurt some more. He was careful with wiping. His gentle hands making sure he wasn't hurting me, it was comforting. All I did was to look at him, who was focused on my tears, staring at the beads of sweat slipping from his forehead down to his chin. I smiled a little before reaching for my own handkerchief.
I started wiping of his sweat which shocked him. I replied with a simple smile which he quickly understood. When we were done, he sat next to me, a gap of space in between, both of us looking at the scenery in front of us.
"What are you doing here?" I asked in a monotone voice without looking at him.
"Looking for my fiancé." He replied which made me look at his direction immediately. He didn't look at me, who was on the brink of crying once more.
'Don't joke like that. It's not funny getting my hopes up.' I thought bitterly.
I didn't even realize how preoccupied I was with my thought until I felt his arms snaking to my waist. The heat from his hands, which fits perfectly to the curves of my waist, shocked me but at the same time, it made my heart happy. As if it wasn't enough, he pulled me close to him, removing all space between the two of us. Riding the moment, I rest my head on his shoulder as he rest his on my head. We sat like that for a moment, taking in the beautiful sunset as my heart beat wildly.
"So what time's your flight?" He asked, ruining the moment. I checked my watch only to realize that I have stayed here for half an hour.
"I have to go." I said as I stood up and leave, but he was able to catch my hand and pulled me towards him before kissing me. A short love-filled kiss. I felt my entire face heating up, but I loved it.
He looked at me with serious loving eyes while I looked back, completely captivated. He slowly kneel down and taking out a small box from his pockets. My heart was racing, my mind went blank. I don't know what to do or how to react or anything, I just stood there like an idiot.
"You're right. I don't like being arranged, but I never said I didn't want to be married to you." He said before opening the small box revealing a silver ring, similar to the one I am wearing, with amethyst embedded to it. My eyes were starting to water from the event unfolding in front of me.
"Will you marry me? For real this time." He said with a smile as a single tear have escaped my eyes as I covered my mouth to swallow a lump that was blocking my throat before nodding.
He smiled widely as he took the ring out and put it in my right ring finger, snuggling itself perfectly. He put his hand on my cheek as I wrap my arms on his neck slowly leaning in for a kiss. His soft lips against mine, it was certainly longer and sweeter than the first one we shared. As much as we didn't want to, he had to pull away for air.
"I love-" I said only to be cut by a peck on the lips.
"I'm suppose to say it first." He whined while I just laughed.
"Then say it now." I commanded, my heart ready to burst.
"I liked you the moment I saw you and every time we were together, I knew I was falling for you every second of every minute. When you had to leave Japan, I was hurt, crushed and I didn't know what to do, I didn't want you to be with someone else when you grow up that's why I proposed to you then. And here I am on the same situation, you leaving and me proposing, but this time, I intend to be married to you the moment we reached the legal age. So wait for me and I love you." He said and with every word, a tear left my eyes. I kissed then hugged him, tears continued to fall.
"I will so you better do the same. I don't intend to share my future husband to any fangirl. Besides, I will come back after the semester's over. You better make some room in your room. There's no way I'm sleeping alone when I'm back." I said threateningly while he just laughed at me.
We head to the airport together, hand in hand, letting people know that Shindou Takuto and Kimiko Yuri was forever unavailable.
"I love you too." I said before giving one last kiss, then board my plane excited for the day I walk down the aisle.
