Here is another bite-sized one-shot. Hope you enjoy it!
----------
Let me make this clear to you right now.
"I love you."
Tacky, stupid, irrational, whatever you say it is. I love you so much. It's messing up my life. Your dark golden hair swings around your jaw as you laugh with your friends. I reach out to grab your shoulder, but something keeps holding me back. My insides scream at me. Tell them! But your reputation! Forget about that!
You leave me sobbing at night into my pillow as memories of your soft lips and clear blue eyes bubble up in my memory. I gained courage.
Let me make this clear to you right now.
"I love you."
Only to be shot down like a bird—a swallow
"Let me make something known to you, Tezuka-kun.
I don't care."
I had a mask of stone. You broke it. I'm not going to hide anymore. I'm glad it's gone. I don't have a burden anymore. You don't care.
Maybe… I've healed.
And I don't care either.
I hope everyone is ready. I'm not going to hide.
Get ready for me world!
I'm not holding back. I'm not encaged. I'm free.
Free.
