When I was little, I always wondered how it felt like if I were close to the sun. One day, I found the highest tree I could find and began to climb it without thinking twice. The tree barks were sharp as knives and it cut through my frail skin. It hurt, but I didn't care. I ignored it and continued to climb. While climbing, drops that looked like liquid began to drop down to my hair.
Do trees cry? I wondered. Is it because the weather's too hot?
Wanting to know, I began to climb faster. When I reached the top, I saw a boy. A small boy about my age sitting on a branch while licking a half melted ice-cream. The sun shone behind him and the tips of his blue hair were glittering. When we made eye-contact, he smiled.
"Nice to meet you. Beautiful day, isn't it?"
I said nothing back, because now I understood the answer to my question. That day, is when the sun shone above us.

"Luka, do you know what tissues can do?"
The pink-haired girl sitting next to him frowned. She was scared to look down from the tall tree branch they were sitting on. Her mother strictly told them to stay near their house and not to wonder off into the grassy field. The boy somehow influenced her to join him up here. "You blow on them," she replied.
The blue-haired boy laughed loudly after hearing her innocent response. "Anything else?" he continued.
The little girl began to think for a little while before answering the question. "Uhhh... you use it to clean dirty stuff."
Hearing this, the boy began to grin. "No, there's more to it. Stand up. I'll show you."
This made the little girl gasp in surprise. She held his hands and begged him to sit down. "Kaito, if my mom see's us here then she won't give us any dessert tonight!"
"Do you think it will snow soon?" he questioned.
"Kaito, you're being stupid now. It's the middle of the summer!"
"Oh?" Little Kaito began tugging the tissues one by one out of the tissue box. "Really?"
"Yeah. Its just white paper. Its not like it's going to turn into a lion or something. But if it could, I wanna see it happening..."
The girl gasped when she saw the boy ripping the tissues into little pieces.
"You're wasting tissues! I need them when I need to blow my nose!"
"Just be quiet and help me," urged the boy.
Luka felt uneasy but did what she was told. One by one, they each tore the soft tissue until there was none left.
The boy grinned as he grabbed a handful of his creation. "Luka," he said, "watch this."
He slowly let go of the soft tissues and watched them softly float in the air. "It looks like snow, right?"
Little Luka couldn't help but gasp in delight when she saw the little tissues fall in slow motion. She stared at them in aw. "It... they look like butterflies! There's millions of little butterflies!" she tugged on his arm excitedly.
"Luka, this is going to be our little secret. And what you saw just now, is a secret too. Okay?"
The girl grinned and agreed. She hugged him as she smiled even more.
The little boy glanced at the girl hugging him. If she smiled, then so would he.
A/N: I introduce you to my little one-shot collection. I might not be active on this one because I have other stories to work on. These one-shots just came into my mind while I was doing something else and I thought, "OH! I GOTTA ADD THIS STORY SOMEWHERE!" and that's how Project LuKaito started. So... 2 one-shots done! Wish me luck! ^^
