Unspoken Love

Everyday I look at you
Hoping you would catch me doing that

Ryuzaki Sakuno looked at her hazel-eyed prince with admiration. It's been 3 months since she has had a crush on him. She sees him with all his friends and teammates. He looked very happy although he did not show it. The girl, on the other hand, was very sad. Echizen Ryoma, the prince of tennis, had never once acknowledged her prescence, only her long twin braids and bad tennis skills.

Do you see me the same way as I see you?
Do you care about me at all?

All Echizen Ryoma cared about was himself, Karupin, and tennis. Nothing would ever be in his heart except for those things. It never occured to him that a girl had only him in her heart. Too bad he was dense. The shy petite girl was never going to be seen by him.

I keep on wondering why you always give me those unencouraging words
Do you hate me?

Sakuno was practicing tennis by attempting to hit a ball back and forth. Unfortunately, her clumsy legs never allowed her to hit one ball back. She tried again, hoping to at least hit one ball. Ryoma was walking by to get ponta. He saw Ryuzaki with her pink tennis racket and tennis ball. He decided to give her some advice, at least that's what he called it.

"Your knees are bending too much. Your hair's too long. You should cut it." Out came those words from his mouth.

At least you talk to me
Even with that, it's still not good enough

Sakuno immediately recognized that voice. It was the voice of her prince. She wanted to cheer up a little after her little mistries of hitting a tennis ball, but she couldn't. She remembered what her prince was like. Antisocial, dense, and aloof. He'd never see her. At least he talked to her, but is that all their relationship was?

No matter how many times I try
You never notice me
Maybe I should just tell you

Two years later, Ryuzaki Sakuno finally gathered all her courage to tell three simple words to her knight in shiny armor. She would just tell him, wait for him to reject her, and move on. Sorry Sakuno, life's never that easy.

"I like you, Ryoma-kun." She tried to make them as unaudible as possible, but Ryoma had the ears of a cat.

"Sorry, I don't feel the same way." His reply was cold and harsh. Sakuno's plan was to move on, but she couldn't. She didn't want to cry, but she did so continuously. She knew she should've never told him. Let him be dense, there's always a limit. There's always going to be a time when he noticed your love. It never occured to her that Ryoma's density would have a limit. If only she knew about this sooner. If only she realized it.

But that'll never work though
You're a butterfly
You're beautiful, graceful, yet untouchable
You'll fly to you desired place
Unspoken love is always better
Because I would never be ever to handle rejection from you.

A/N: This is dedicated to those people who can't confess their love. No matter how dense your crush is, his/her density will always have a limit. He/she will notice you one day, there's no need to tell him/her. This is the case for many people, but I hope it's the same case for me. I hope you liked it!! This was my first attempt at a RyoSaku romance fic. Review if you'd like to.
