Blooming Sunset
Chapter 1
Welcome to my first fanfiction on this website! I am writing this for you all as I love this pairing and am truly inspired by the love connection between them!
"You know, we're going to get married one day!" The little girl smiled. The sun reflected off her hair, showing her orange gleam.
"Really? Do you really mean it?" The anxious boy asked, trying not to seem too excited while hiding his face under the shadows of the pink blossom trees that were covering the school.
The little girl gave a hopeful expression to the anxious boy and flung her pinky up, causing her black backpack to bounce back. Her light brown eyes started to look bright red from the sun. "Yeah, pinky promise! Cross my heart!"
The boy smiled and quickly interlocked pinkies with the fragile girl.
"Takashi, are you sure you are ok with Rei and myself going without you?" Hisashi asked, in a tone that was hard to identify. Takashi slouched in his very small chair and put his black bag on the bright yellow desk. He then looked over to Hisashi, who was running his hand through his bright silver hair that seemed so natural.
"Sure, why not? I don't really like seafood anyways." Takashi told him, completely despising the idea of them two alone. Takashi tried to find something wrong with his school uniform until he finally spotted an error on his black long sleeve top.
"One of your yellow buttons is missing off your uniform. Better fix it before you get in trouble…" Takashi smirked, oblivious of the jerk he was being. He looked down to find that the last button wasn't there as it may have fell off and stood up off his small chair, next to Takashi's, and nodded.
The classroom had only about 5 people in it, including Takashi and Hisashi as the period started in 10 minutes. Takashi and Hisashi both had standard uniforms on for juniors. The attire is a black dress shirt with 5 yellow buttons going down the middle and black pants. Takashi often wore brown pants and often got in trouble for it, obtaining the name of juvenile delinquent.
"It seems I must fix it. I will have Rei fix it for me." He smirked to Takashi, who quickly looked to the left side of his desk, which was the window.
Takashi could see his reflection and only looked at his black, silky hair that seemed more spiked that usual. His attention was quickly drawn to him seeing the orange gleam haired girl walk through the door. She had two antennas on the top of her head made out of loose strands of hair, all seen in the reflection of the window.
Outside the window were the pink blossom trees that seemed to bloom every other month. In the same viewpoint, the old and beat down school that Rei and Takashi was still there. It was still holding memories for Takashi. It is hard for him to look at that specific area that they made the promise. Down by the swings in the playground that was in the dark yellow sand.
He could feel Hisashi trying to unintentionally start a fight and tried not to look at Rei because that would provoke him to go to drastic measures to look tough in front of her.
She made quite the appearance with her white and green shirt looking more tight than usual, making it hard for Takashi to not look at her without the use of the reflection. Her boobs seemed to look bigger with the shirt so tight.
Her green skirt was lifted by a draft that came into the classroom and exposed her white panties that had lace at the top. She quickly blushed and covered that part of her skirt, making a scene. Takashi couldn't resist any longer and drew his eyes to the mortified girl.
Hisashi laughed and hugged the unexpecting girl, trying to keep the embarrassment level low. She smiled but once her light bright brown eyes finally met Takashi's, she closed her eyes and gave a short expression of sadness. He regretted ever taking his eyes off the reflection.
After a few awkward minutes, the very high pitched class bell finally rung five times, as normal. It caused everyone to sit in their seats and end the awkward conversations. Rei sat in front of Takashi and Hasashi sat to the right of Takashi, if you look from the back of the room. Takashi is in the back corner of the room, completely across from the tall gray door that was the only entrance and exit.
Rei took her seat in front of Takashi, leaving behind the pink blossom smell that she always smells like, bringing back memories of the day they made that promise.
"Promise, huh?" Takashi whispered to himself. Rei seemed to have heard and gasped, making her hair shoot around the desk.
She turned her face over to her right side, only so much that he could only see one side of her face, just her right eye and her little nose that he would always make fun of as a joke as everything else was covered by her silky smooth looking hair. Her hair seemed to be more reflective than usual.
"Takashi- You wouldn't understand." She stuttered but finally managed to get it out. You could tell it was hard for her to think of what to say as that promise seemed to be more deep to her then he expected it to be.
Takashi was about to reply but the old teacher in a normal black dress shirt and black dress pants interrupted. "Excuse me Takashi, would you like me to send you to detention?" He asked the careless looking Takashi. You could tell Takashi didn't care much for authority as he was looking at him as if it was a joke.
"No. I am perfectly fine at my desk." He replied, starting to realize how he is acting.
Over the recent days, Takashi has been sleep deprived. He has had a lot of stress on his mind. He kept thinking about Rei and how his so called best friend, Hasashi just snatched her when the time called for it.
He always thinks about her hair and how it reminded him of the sun and how he would joke about her cute little nose as if she was his daughter. He knew he wasn't over her yet.
Rei looked back to the front of the plain gray classroom and aimed her head towards the left of her, exposing the same facial parts as before but this time, making it seem like she is looking out the window.
"Do you remember…? The day at the pool? With us three? We splashed each other, jumped on top of each other and even threw each other into the pool. I want more of those experiences… I just- I just want to go back to the way it was before all of this awkwardness happened." She began explaining to Takashi in a muffled voice. She had a hard time getting it out as her voice cracked gently.
Hisashi looked over and gave an unexpecting glare to Rei, which she couldn't see. Takashi smiled softly and nodded. "Well… I don't know… I honestly do not have any idea what is going to happen."
Rei gave a definite sigh of grief and stress and turned back to the front, starting to take notes on the PowerPoint that the teacher was showing everyone. It seemed to be of math equations and how to solve them.
Rei was tapping her white tennis shoes that she had on to a beat that Takashi knew. Takashi joined in, nonchalantly, and went with the beat. They were in sync so much that it sounded like one person was tapping the feet.
After a long period of PowerPoint and tapping, the bell rings for lunch. Everyone gets up and Rei immediately walks over to Hisashi, who is directly across from him and kisses him on the lips. She started feeling some guilt for making Takashi go through that experience as he does every day.
Takashi looks over to the kissing couple and walks by, throwing his black backpack over his shoulder and walking out of the classroom. He left Hisashi in question of why he didn't wait for them as he sometimes did after the class to walk with them.
Rei quits from their intimate hug and grabs Hisashi's hands, starting to walk out of the classroom. As they were almost out, Rei looked back to the curious Hisashi and stopped them. She dropped his hand and faced him.
She stopped him right in front of the door to leave the class and enter the very populated hallway full of walking pedestrians. It was so loud in the hallway that they could barely talk to each other verbally.
She moved the stray hairs out of her face and looked Hisashi in the eyes, showing him how beautiful her light brown eyes were in the sunlight.
"I have to tell you something." She tells him and puts her hand in a fist and soon after she puts it over the middle of her chest.
