SkyGem: A short poemfic written from the Seigaku regulars' pov about how they feel about Ryoma leaving for America.
Beloved Prince
The day comes closer when you finally leave
If we told you, would you really believe?
Do you at all understand,
How hard it is to not demand
That you stay here forever and ever?
We stare at you, you stare at us,
We'll let you leave, without a fuss.
Those eyes of yours,
So beautifully gold,
Hiding secrets yet untold.
Will they remain, all locked away?
We could unlock them, should you only stay.
And yet we know,
Away must you go.
Fly to heights as yet unseen,
Explore new worlds with eyes so keen.
Worry not about us,
Do what you must,
Just do not forget
Those you left in the dust.
We stare at you, you stare at us,
We'll let you leave, without a fuss.
Yet, when all has been seen,
Return to the scene,
And we all shall be waiting,
With affection unabating.
For then shall we evince,
You are our dearly beloved Prince.
