Glimpse
Hikari sat on the ground, leaning with her back against a tree as she watched Amane ride back and forth across the field like she had done almost every morning for quite sometime now, the only difference between this morning and those that had come before was the tears running down the blond's cheeks as she watched the other girl.
Hikari sighed softly as she raised a hand to wipe at her eyes, trying as hard as she could to get the tears to stop, not wanting the other girl to know that she was crying – not that she thought that the other girl would even notice that she was there.
Hikari bit her lip as this thought came to her, trying hard to repress the sob that wanted to escape, but unfortunately for the blond it seemed that her vocal cords did not want to listen to her and she was unable to keep the sound at bay.
It was also at this time that Amane passed closest to the weeping blond and despite the other's attempts to not garner attention to herself the blue haired female heard the sound. Amane looked around for a moment, trying to locate the source of the noise. When she spotted Hikari she steered her horse in that direction.
Amane frowned slightly when she saw who it was that was crying. It was the girl that had been with her when she had woken up in the hospital. Amane wasn't quite sure who the girl was or why she had been in the hospital room with her, but what she wondered about even more was why it made her so upset to see the other girl cry. She didn't know why, but there was just something inside her that desperately wanted to go over there and replace those tears with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Amane asked gently, but loud enough to be heard, once her horse had reached the fence.
Hikari gasped slightly and looked up, she had been so busy trying to keep quite that she hadn't noticed that blue haired girl had already heard her and come over.
Hikari blushed darkly and looked away; she wanted desperately to tell Amane everything. About how the two of them had been in love and everything, but as she turned her head to look back at the other and went to open her mouth to let everything just spill out, the words that the doctor had said to her in the hospital rang through her head.
'It's best not to let her know that you are upset about her not remembering things, she can't help it and letting her know you're upset will only put her through more stress. It is best that you allow her memories to gradually come back on their own.'
"N- Nothing." Hikari replied as she rubbed at her eyes to try and get the tears to stop flowing.
Amane's frown deepened slightly at this, "Well, please do not cry any longer." She said as she got off of her horse and quickly jumped the short fence that separated the two of them before walking over to Hikari and kneeling in front of her, "I can't exactly explain why, but seeing you cry makes me want to cry as well." She said as she looked it's the blond's glistening blue eyes.
Hikari blushed softly as Amane stared at her, but she felt a small smile form on her lips at the same time, it seemed that there was at least a small part of Amane that still remembered who she was.
Hikari quickly rubbed away the rest of her tears before looking at Amane with a small smile, "I'm sorry." She whispered softly, "Is it alright if I keep watching you?"
Amane smiled gently back as she stood, "I would like that."
