AUTUMN'S BLISS

I do NOT own Megaman nor any other characters or items used throughout the story.

NOTICE: I have only seen the English episodes of Megaman Star Force so far and I have only played a small amount of the first game, but I know what the characters are like and how they act.

I felt a falling leaf brush upon my head. Fall's here. It has been for a while.

The soothing whistle of the wind calls his name through dim-lit, clouded skies. The rain was approaching. I could tell.

But I didn't care.

I couldn't care less, because he wasn't there to run with me. He was off fighting everyone else's battles. But not as himself. I know my eyes don't lie to me; I know he's really Megaman.

There are no doubts in my mind.

Even though I was barely awake when I saw it, I know it's true. They have the same sorrow-filled, yet hopeful eyes.

I miss him.

The sound of rain ricochets from the cobblestone under my feet. Only a light drizzle, enough to hide the tears. The leaves fluttered carelessly through the air, carried away in the wind along with my hopes. I let out a small sigh.

He loves her.

Geo loves Sonia. Sonia. Even the thought of her name makes me flare up. What is her problem? Why is she doing this to me?

She knows I love him.

"Hey Luna," a voice beside me brought great surprise, knocking my head from the clouds.

"Oh… H-hi Geo," I responded softly, wiping the tears from my cheeks. "How are you?"

"I should be asking you, Luna."

I stared at the ground intently, letting out a long sigh.

I feel too weak to keep this in.

"Oh Geo…," I began. "I'm just… so lost. I don't know who I am anymore. I feel so empty… so desolate."

He brought me into his warm embrace.

"There, there," he comforted me upon seeing more tears form in my eyes.

"You still have us, your friends," Geo reminded me.

"I know, it's just that…" I let out another heavy sigh.

The rain began to pour harder.

"I think I'm… in love…" More and more tears appeared in my eyes, and I began to sob. "And I know he doesn't love me back. It feels like I have nothing at all."

"What about your friends?"

"They're different!" I snapped.

I fell apart before him.

"I know they're here for me, but they can't fix my wounded heart!" I began to cry much harder.

"Well…" Geo looked down slightly. I could tell he was in deep thought. "You still have me."

I looked at him, nay, stared him down, my eyes wide and a blush streaking my cheeks.

"Let me walk you home," he said, extending his hand for me.

I reached my hand out to his. He took it into his own.

I let him guide me home. We talked on the way, our voices lost within the crackling of the thunder and the pouring of the rain. Upon reaching my front porch, he grabbed my other hand gingerly.

"Luna, please cheer up," he said with deep concern.

"Geo, I…"

"Luna, it's okay."

He comforted me sincerely.

Once again in his embrace, I felt his hand rub across my back in an effort to comfort me, to soothe me further.

It worked.

He pulled away slightly and did the last thing I would expect him to do. He slowly, and tenderly, place his arms around me. A feeling of pure ecstasy engulfed my whole being as I embraced him back, placing my head at his shoulder.

The rain slowly began to stop.

He slowly removed his arms from my waist and smiled sweetly, enjoying the look of befuddlement on my face.

"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"O-okay," I just stood there, a look of awe washed abroad my face.

"Bye, Luna."

He slowly turned and began to walk back to his home. Just then, the evening sun peeked through the clouds, its light seeming to land on Geo.

Bliss consumed me.

"I still think your emotions are stupid, especially this love you feel for her."

"Shut up, Omega-Xis."
