Hmmm... what's this? A story? What? A chapter story? Huh? An AU story? Wow, this certaintly is something... for random readers who for some reason deem my ramblings worth reading, here's a explanation: Up until today I wasn't active on ff.n and wasn't planning to... then I was bored... and yeah... I had wanted to write something for this couple... I've never written AU before, so here's a go! AND this story isn't as planned out as I like my stories to be... it'll probably take a while for me to finish the story but I finish what I start... so that's why I'm uploading.
I hadn't really planned on making an AU story, and sort of had half idea for a continuation of Guilt Crown, but this one is more fun and there are already enough extension stories that are all about Daryl/Tsugumi.
I've changed my style for this story, instead of discription (which I LOVE!) I'm aiming for short and to the point.
Anyway... Daryl is AWESOME! :D
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Guilty Crown. If I did Daryl would be the main character, Daragumi would be an official coupling and Inori and Shu would be OUT!
It's hard to imagine that everything one loves and cherish could come crashing down in a moment. But that was all it took, one moment of impact for life to be destroyed.
And it ended like that. Their precious existence was shattered, and the scattered pieces were left on the cold asphalt, never to be restored.
Tsugumi looked up at the large white building and held back a sigh. It was intimidating, inside cold and so clean it made her feel contaminated. The others came uneasily, Shu at the back, only Ayase's firm hand keeping him moving forward. They followed her, forcing her to keep her back straight and shoulders even.
Even though all she wanted to do was curl up in a ball.
"We're here for an appointment."
The secretary nodded with a stiff fashion and issued curt orders. Ayase and Tsugumi were left alone when a nurse called for Shu. Only once did he turn his head back toward their direction, blank eyes glossy and unseeing.
The two were silent, watching as other patients entered and left, the large hospital serving many different patients. Only then did Tsugumi really think about it though, and she wondered about the circumstances that brought each person to that silent building.
She could sit no longer and stood abruptly. Ayase looked up at her imploringly.
"I'm getting bored." Tsugumi attempted a smile, and was pretty sure she faked a good one. "I'll be back before he's done."
Ayase nodded, but did not return the smile.
Tsugumi wandered aimlessly through the white halls of the hospital picking whatever way appeared less traveled. The thought of human company was not pleasant. She wanted to be alone, to think through all that had happened.
It was too much. Everything collapsed on that day and everyone seemed unable to move on, to live another day. She was the only one who saw that, and so she was the one who had to put on that façade of strength and support the others.
But the tears burned at the back of her throat.
She stopped then, and pressed angrily at her eyes, willing the tears not to fall. She was annoyed at herself. She was stronger than that, and she knew she had to help her friends. She was not the only one reeling. She had to be strong.
But she felt so lonely in that strength.
A loud bang jerked her back from his inner musings, and she looked up just in time to see the inevitable.
It was strange how easily one's life could change in a simple moment. And once more Tsugumi's life would be shaken by an accident.
Dah dah dah! Well... that's the first part... how is the style? TOO straightforward? Well, please review so I can get some critiques...
P.s. Title/description subject to change...
