Hooray! My first Shugo Chara! Fanfiction. Well, these collections of one-shots are mostly focused on Yaya and Kairi, but other couples will be thrown in there, like Amuto, Rimahiko, and Kutau. I hope you enjoy it!
::Clouds::
"That one looks like a ducky!"
"It looks like a cloud."
"That one looks like a bow!"
"It looks like a cloud."
"That one looks like cotton candy!"
"It looks like a cloud."
"Ugh! Stop being so close-minded, Kairi-kun! If you look closely at them, you can see all sorts of neat shapes! Think outside the box a little, would you? Now, tell Yaya, what do you see?"
"I see a visible mass of water particles suspended at a considerable altitude." Kairi said matter-of-factly. Yaya frowned at her friend's lack of creativity. She let out a sigh, dropping the matter altogether. The Ace and newly reassigned Jack lay cloud watching for a while longer in silence. The days had passed on without a lot of commotion. Yaya had been lying in the grass that sunny Saturday afternoon with nothing to do. She had let Pepe run off when Ran, Miki, Suu, and all the other charas. Kairi had stopped to see what she was doing and somehow, she managed to get the young warrior-like lad to sit and watch the clouds with her. She had pointed out what she thought the clouds' shapes looked like, but Kairi had not understood what she was seeing.
The graduation was rapidly approaching and Yaya could feel a sadness creeping up on her; the nostalgia she felt every time she thought of her friends leaving seemed to overpower her. She didn't like the thought of being all alone. Suddenly, Kairi heard a small sniffle and turned to Yaya, who had large tears spilling down her cheeks.
"What's wrong, Ace?" He asked, going back into his bad habit of referring to her by her guardian title, rather than her preferred first name. He noticed she was not crying fake, crocodile tears like usual, but truly sad tears. It made Kairi upset to see Yaya in this condition. He much preferred her usual, cheerful smile.
"It's just…well…it's the whole graduation thing. Yaya's really going to miss Amu-chi and Rima-tan. Yaya keeps trying to be strong and put on a smile for them, but she feel so sad, you know? Those two are the closest girl friends Yaya has." She confessed with a sad sigh, wiping away her tears. Kairi, unused to seeing Yaya presenting such an emotion, reached over and tentatively placed a hand on her shoulder, unsure as how, but nonetheless trying, to console her.
"It will be okay, Yaya. Really." He spoke in a voice full of certainty, trying to make his friend feel better. He was not used to calling her merely by her name, especially without adding an honorific, but at that moment, he vaguely remembered her once telling him that she favored he called her Yaya, no more, no less. He figured it would make her happy. She wiped her tears and smiled at him.
"Yeah, you might be right. I mean, it's not like I'll never see them again. I'm sure everyone will visit Yaya and Kairi." She added with a small giggle. His rational side kicked in and he wanted to disagree by telling her that the chance of her seeing the group again was highly unlikely due to the fact that after someone enters a new school it's hard to maintain contact with old friends, but he knew that the insensitive statement would upset her even more. Kairi had to admit, he was going to miss everyone as well. Allowing himself to act on instinct, he reached over to put his hand lightly on Yaya's hand for a brief moment.
"Besides, we have each other, right, Yaya-sempai? And we have Hikaru-kun." Instead of correcting him like she wanted to, she grabbed his hand and gave it a small squeeze.
"Yeah. We have each other." She repeated. Both Guardians could feel a blush on their cheeks as they stared at each other for a moment. They quickly snatched their hands away. The two both lay down and resumed their previous activity; Yaya pointing out shapes to Kairi, while he tried to imagine it. Maybe, if Kairi could see the shapes clearly or Yaya had been paying any attention, they would notice the heart-shaped cloud drifting overhead.
Eww. I just threw up in my mouth a little. Gosh, that ending was soooo cheesy! But, nonetheless, I thought it was pretty cute first chapter. If you didn't notice, there is some mention of Shugo Chara! Encore. Stay tuned!
