I Can Love You Like That

Himeno A. lay on her purple comforters; one arm was threw over head and the other arm was over her waist gripping a green I-pod. The past days bounced around in her head.

"Sasame…I need to talk to you…Won't you please come?" Himeno then closed her eyes and focused on the lyrics.

They read you Cinderella,

You hoped it would come true,

That one day your prince charming would come rescue you..

She smiled slightly at the irony of the song.

'Prince Charming? Used to I would have said that I didn't believe he would ever find me. But he did...' She thought.

"You called?" Sasame's voice reached her ears. She looked over and jumped then pulled the black headphones off of her head; he was right next to her leaning over the bed. A blush found it's way onto her face.

'He's so close…my prince charming is him...' All she could do was nod and scoot over on her bed. He sat down on the edge and looked at her.

"What is it that you need to talk to me about?" He questioned, his eyes studied her closely over rimmed glasses.

"What with the glasses?" She couldn't help but ask.

"I'm trying something different," He took them off and looked at her again, "Do they look bad on me?"

"Not at all," She said, "But then again I don't think anything would." She slapped her hand over her mouth and blushed; Sasame smiled. Himeno lowered her hand as the song continued to play.

The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet.

And all this time that you've been waiting

You don't have to wait no more

I can love you like that.

I would make you my world.

Move heaven and earth if you were my girl..

"Recently," She whispered, "All I've been able to think about is how confusing everything has become…" Sasame looked at her gently.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

Show you you're everything that's precious to me

If you give me a chance

I can love you like that

If you want tenderness I got tenderness

And I see through to the hear of you

If you want a man who will understand you don't have to look very far

I can love you like that.

Girl I can love you like that

I can't love you like that.

"Takako…coming back into your lives…" Himeno looked away from him, "I feel as though you'll forget about me.."

"Himeno," She looked back up at Sasame; his violet eyes were staring into hers. "We would never forget about you. I would never forget about you." Himeno gasped as a blush lit her face. "I forgot to mention earlier that Hayate has finally admitted to loving Takako." Himeno's eyes widened.

"I'm sorry, Sasame," She whispered, "How are you holding up?"

'Why don't I feel pain at this?' She wondered as her eyes stayed on Sasame's face. 'Is it because of you? You were always there for me…always in the back of my mind each time I was around Hayate. Could it be you that I loved all along?' She came out of her thoughts as he began to speak.

"I'm fine, Himeno," He raised his hand to the side of her face. She stared at him, disbelieving. "Because someone had long ago replaced her in my heart." Himeno's mouth fell open and a blush scorched her face. Slowly, Himeno reached her hand up to rest on his.

"I-" Himeno paused, wondering how to put what she felt in words.

"It's okay, Himeno," Sasame's voice sounded pained, "You don't have to say anything back." Himeno moved her hand from his and placed two fingers over his lips.

"I've found myself wondering why learning that Hayate loved Takako all along didn't hurt to hear. I've been thinking a lot recently about why that could be. But the answer seems so simple now. It's because of you." She lowered her hand from his lips. "You were always in the back of my mind each and every time I was around Hayate. You were the first person to ever make me feel as though I was needed…wanted by someone." She laughed lightly, "You really have a way with women, Sasame."

"Ah, yes, but you are the only woman I want," Sasame smiled. She blushed as he pulled her into his arms.

"Good." She whispered.

I would give you my heart

my heart

my heart

my world

show you you're everything (you're everything to me)

love you like that

I can make you my world

move heaven and earth if you were my girl

I would give you my heart

my heart

my heart

my world

show you you're everything

"Himeno," Sasame spoke again but got no answer. He laid her down on her bed gently and laughed lightly. She'd fallen asleep. "Sweet dreams, love." He kissed her forehead lightly.
