We've been married for 3 years. I won't lie, honestly, it's falling apart. I trusted him. I thought I did.
I remember when I was in high school, only 17 years old, with my best friend? Orihime Inoue? Yea, she was like a sister I never had. It's no secret that she's the perfect role model, and that I've always been compared to her. Although so, I love her. She helps me through everything. We were always there for each other. He, on the other hand, he had always been there too, being my other best pal. I knew that he liked her, I knew, and despite me liking him, I supported him, I told him "go for it!", just like any typical romance story.
All of us graduated, and as time flew passed, Inoue got engaged at the age of 20, to a close friend of ours from Uni, Ishida Uryuu. He was broken hearted, absolutely lifeless, and I couldn't just help him and not support my best friend, so I did both. I tried everything in my stead to help him through, and at the same time, be the best bridesmaid for Inoue. He managed to clean up good for Inoue's wedding, and I was happy for him, cause it's like he's learning to grow up, it's a big change for him, and a big change for Inoue as well. After Inoue's wedding, I decided to test the waters, so I asked, once, "do you still have feelings for Inoue?" And he shook his head no.
Inoue later decide to move in with Ishida, which was kinda far but not too far. We still meet up once in a while, but we aren't as close. He, well... He was doing okay, occasionally looking blank but was soon back to his old self, the cool yet clumsy guy down the block, if we disregard the fact that he's the heir of the Kurosaki Hospital.
It was about two years later that he came to me, asking me to be his girlfriend. But I know him better than that, so I asked him the second time, "do you still have feelings for Inoue?" His reply? A simple no, so I said "yes, I'll go out with you. " We weren't the best couple due to our usual arguments, the ones we have since being best of friends, but we were happy. Going on simple dates, nothing too over, nothing too shallow. Everything was how it was before, only difference is the simple gestures of love, light lip kisses, closer warm cuddles, holding hands.
It took him another two years for him to ask my hand in marriage. They say it takes couples at least three years to get to know each other fully, but seeing as we were best friends ever since, I've seen nothing wrong. So I asked him for the third time, "do you still have feelings for Inoue?" He smiled at me, "No, my feelings are towards the girl in front of me. I promise to never be the type of guy you hate, and be all the kind of guy you love. I know you're afraid, but I promise, I won't let you down."
And so I said yes.
