**Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, Watsuki-san does. Otherwise I
wouldn't be writing fanfiction (ok, maybe I would, but you get the point,
right?).
*Note: this is one of those stories where you choose who speaks. I tried
my best not to single out one person.
Him
He's amazing.
When I opened the door, I was surprised at how handsome he looked. His hair, though unruly at times, was neat. I smiled when I spotted that there were still a few wild strands. It reminded me that he was still human, not some incredible god that singled me out of the crowd. I put my hand into his. I could feel his strength, and I knew that I could trust my life with him. I also felt the pain of hard battle he put himself through. I could never imagine the burdens, the responsibilities he had thrust in front of him so early in his life.
We walked through the town, enjoying being so close. I pretended to be interested in what the stores had for sale. I just wanted something to distract him, so that I could look deeper into him. I passed by what people saw on the outside. What I saw was my dream. He was everything I could possibly ask of a person, and more. After a while, we sat down in a quiet little spot under a tree. I looked to the sky, feeling so much joy.
He turned to me and we looked into each other's eyes. I felt absorbed into them; I drowned in them. I saw the wisdom he had that was well beyond his years. I saw the pain of his past, the torture of seeing people die in front of him for his sake and not being able to do anything about it. I felt the suffering he has had to endure all of his life. He was too kind to deserve any kind of pain. I promised myself that he would never have to feel that pain, someday.
I felt my cheeks grow warmer when he put his arms around me. I was surrounded by his protective air. I felt completely safe; there was no need to worry about anything trying to separate us, ever. He whispered the words I had longed to hear ever since I met him. I could feel my heart exploding with love; I finally managed to say those words that I have been forbidden to say for so long. I saw that it spoke to his heart as deeply as it had spoken to mine.
I love him.
**A/N: how did you enjoy that fic? If you could tell me exactly who's POV this is from, please tell me because I sure would like to know. It's a little based on my fic that I hope to post soon called Legend. I tried to make this apply to anyone, Kenshin, Sano, Aoshi, and even Yahiko (yes, I love yahiko/tsubame, they're so cool). It was harder to write than Her, maybe because I'm a girl, and if I really wrote what I felt, it would get to long and lean too much on one character. Arigatou to everyone who read this and reviewed my other stories!
