Right, so it's Valentine's day, and I felt like doing a one-shot. This popped up in my mind today, so it may not be as good as it should be, but hey ho, I wanted to post it today. Here goes.
"Mmm... Wha...?" I murmur, after waking from a troubled sleep. Standing at my open door is Quillish Whammy, the man I call dad. In his hands he holds a tray, laid with the most wonderful breakfast I could imagine.
"Father, why are you here so early in the morning?" I question
"It's not early, it is 10 o' clock. Plus, it's the 14th of February." He announces. Oh god, not Valentine's day. Not just Valentine's day, I remind myself, but also my twenty-first vbirthdya. Aw damn. You know, I hate it when I get fussed over. It just annoys the hell out of me.
Whammy walks to my bedside and ruffles my already messy mahoggany hair before setting the tray he held in my lap. He drags the heavy curtains open, illuminating my spacious room suddenly.
"Happy birthday, Emiko." I allow myself a small smile, and get to eating my candy heart and chocolate breakfast.
"Oh my god Matt!" Mello shouts, echoing down the corridor. I think the whole house can hear him. I'm just the unfortunate one who had sleep in the room next to them, but I guess it's good I separate them and Near. I'm guessing Matt gave him some luxury chocolates as I suggested. Oh, love is so sweet sometimes...
Oh wait, I have cards too. Wait, three of them. Three? What the-
I open the first, and it is covered in red and pink hearts. Inside he had just scrawled only his name, but that was enough for me. Beyond...
The second gets ripped open, and I see it is written in an elegant script, and on the front is a cute puppy holding a red rose in it's mouth. Unlike most girls, I don't swoon at the sigts of cute little fluffy puppies and let a red rose make me go all mushy. I can guess who wrote this one, but he won't own up ever. Near, Near, Near. When will you learn? You're a brother, not a...
The third is a small, simple cars, consisting of only one glittery heart. Inside I see loopy writing, and this instantly tells me who. What? Is he even here? I never thought he would say anything like this before...
So here I am, trapped between three boys, all wishing for my attention, when I only wish to give it to one? I'm sure everyone knows about me and B, but it seems not.
I wander down into the common room, sitting in my usual spot, before a certain someone grabs me from behind and swings me around of the sofa. I scream and laugh, before twisting to see his sweet, crimson eyes. We smile the cute, same smile, before walking outside hand in hand. We perch outside on the balcony, messing about and generally having fun, before I notice two pairsof eyes watching me sorrowfully.
"Emiko? May I have a word?" Watari interupts, and I walk inside sadly with him.
"They are really upset, please talk to them. They will be in the tower."
I dash up to the tower, and when I go in I find them both in each other's arms, crying their hearts out over me. The original and the successor, together, looking like brothers set on one girl. L and I were friends, not lovers. I belong to Beyond, and will forever more.
"E-e-emiko. I'm s-s-sorry for what I did..." Near cries out between sobs, before running over and flinging his arms out around me. My eyes start to water. I caused their upset. Both of them.
"It's alright. I just came to tell both of you about tonight... I arranged for you two, beyond and me to have a private dinner somewhere special." Their eyes light up, and they begin to smile. "You see, it wasn't for nothing, eh?"
Do you like? I will only continue if I get reviews :)
