Sincerity

"No! Never talk to me again, you understand?!" Ayumi Takahara shouted towards Keima Katsuragi, who was lying on the ground, his PFP broken. With unrecognizeable expression on his face, he turned around and left the angry girl alone.

Ayumi Takahara was a simple and straightforward person and would accept honest apologies. But with Katsuragi and his track record, she knew he couldn't be trusted. He had lied too often to too many people to earn Ayumi's forgiveness.

But as the time passed, she realized she was mistaken. She expected him to pester her again, but nothing like that happened. Instead he kept making amends with other girls he had wronged in the past. He had shown sincerity towards them. All of them. Knowing this, Ayumi's heart was taken over by the guilt.

Katsuragi was geniune this time and she treated him horribly.

Thus, one day when playing his game on school break, something served his gaze with the screen of his PFP. It was a small wrapped gift, held by Ayumi.

"Katsuragi... I'm sorry," she uttered, not looking at him. Keima took the package and unwrapped it, revealing a new PFP.

"Ayumi," he stood up and their gaze met and found sincerity in each other's orbs. Then they spoke the same words at the same time.

And those words were sincere.


Hello. This is my first drabble, focusing heavily on Ayumi Takahara. For now I intend to cover nearly every major character in the series... After that, if I'm not bored by writing drabbles already, I will write randomly about characters. Or the characters I will write about would depend on the reviews. We'll see. As for those drabbles in general, their tone and mood will vary depending on the theme

As for this drabble, I took sincerity and forgiveness as a theme, both could be used really nicely wiith Ayumi. It is up to everyone when - and if - they decide to forgive someone for his/her misdeed and I believe anyone who feels sincere guilt can be forgiven.

Anyways, till the next drabble :)
