10 things I Hate about You…
Darkness and silence have always been welcomed companion. But tonight proves otherwise, cooped up in the his old apartment, Akihito tried to occupy his mind by working on the shots he's taken for the day, something that would usually be a joy. But not tonight, silence and darkness is nothing but a reminder of a painful memory.
slowly succumbing to the gnawing pain inside. out of nowhere he grabbed hold of a paper and pen, started to write down the things he wished he could hate to just ease the pain he felt.
"i hate you so much, Asami." as a tear rolled down betraying Akihito's pride.
(1)
I hate the way you look at me
You always seem to see right thru me
Those piercing golden orbs always put me in my place
The pair of eyes that I get myself lost into
The same set of eyes that may say everything or nothing at all
The same set of eyes that haunt me even in my sleep
(2)
I hate the way you hold me in your arms
The broad arms that always envelopes me
The embrace that speaks a promise of security
The arms had protected me inspite of me
The same set of arms that I always fight off
And yet the arms that I always melt into
(3)
I hate the way you say my name
Your voice always weaken my knees
Whether your tone is arrogant or commanding
Whenever my name rolls off your tongue
It is either laced with lust and gentleness
I try to block it off but you know I can't
(4)
I hate the way touch me
It always leaves a trail burning sensation
Your mere touch causes my spine to tingle
I am envelope in warmth so addicting
That when it's gone, I feel restless
Left with an insatiable hunger for your touch
(5)
I hate how you held my wrists captive
I have always tried to fight you off
Refusing to submit, refusing obedience
Yet the dominance you have over me
Creates a need of wanting to be dominated
But at the same time I crave for freedom
(6)
I hate that infuriating smirk of yours
You always seem to mock me
Whenever I throw my temper
That smirk always grazes your face
Like your amuse with my antics
But I asked myself, will that smirk ever turn to a smile?
(7)
I hate the way you smell of sandalwood and smoke
It reminds me how my senses heightened when you're near
Your scent is like a drug that I need to stay away from but can't
You exude power and danger, a danger combination
But no matter how dangerous you are
I'm drawn to you like a moth drawn to flame
(8)
i hate the way you kiss me
the rough-gentleness you have when my lips interlocked with yours
they always manage to weaken my knees
how i love the way you taste like mint and ice
your kiss that's always kept me wanting for more when it ends
(9)
i hate the way your heart beats
they are always in synchronize with mine
whenever you hold my hand and put it on your chest
i hear and feel the beating sensation
every beat a promise that whatever happens
your heart is always mine and i am yours
(10)
but you know what i hate the most
i hate the way you left me of memories of how you loved me
though you've never said the three words
your possessive, protective nature bound and trapped me in an abysmal chasm,
which created a reality that there isn't or no one in this world could ever compare to you
your love created an addiction that no amount of rehab can cure
now that you're gone and beyond my reach
i may try to forget, but i'm sure i'll fail
because no matter how much i take note of how much i hate you
reality strikes me clear, i undoubtedly love you.
Soft thud of the pen echoed, breaking the deafening silence enveloping Akihito. silent sob was heard, he tried to hard to wipe away the tears, but his tears refuse to stop flowing.
"You promised that we'll descend to the pits of hell together, but you went ahead of me, Bastard! you just had to play hero."
Akihito uttered these words with his heart breaking more that it already did.
One Month later...
On the rooftop of one of the buildings in Shinjuku, a mopped of dirty blond hair in shirt and jeans, crouched down, with his camera on hand, trying to conceal his presence. good thing it was a starless, new moon night. With his target on sight, he zoomed in to get a clearer view of his target. he made is assessment expensive business suit, broad shoulders definitely exuding danger and power, jet black hair, golden eyes. Akihito almost dropped his camera, seeing the pair of eyes he had haunt both his sleeping and waking hours.
"It's not possible." he shrugged it off, hurriedly and expertly took the shots that he needed. With his feline-like stealth he left his hiding place. He went back to his apartment, connected his camera to his laptop. browse through the shots he's taken. one particular shot left him perturbed. he had been staring at the photo making logical reason why the man look a lot like Asami.
A loud knock on the door broke him from his reverie. quickly he cleared his desk of any evidence of what he was doing.
Akihito opened the door.
"What do you wan..?" his annoyed question was cut short. At his doorsteps, expensive suit, scent of sandalwood and Dunhill smoke and golden eyes looking straight into his, like they are to devour Akihito whole.
"Like what you see." he asked with a smirk.
"Asami?" came Akihito's soft reply
Asami pulled Akihito into his arms, fervently and passionately he kissed Akihito, breaking him from his stupor. Akihito regaining consciousness, tried his best to pull away from the kiss, only to find himself lost in the kiss. God he missed the older man, a stray tear fell, causing Asami to stop his passionate assualt on Akihito's lips.
Hazel eyes challenged his golden eyes. making Asami smirk. "His fire is back" he thought
"Bastard! how are you alive?" Akihito tried to sound angry, but his words were laced with longing, happiness and relief.
"I came back from the pits of hell, to keep a promise." came Asami's reply
those words may not be the words Akihito wanted to hear but it is enough.
"I hate you!" Akihito said with a smile.
Asami gave him smirk and another breathtaking kiss. He then whispered "don't you mean I love you." these words cause Akihito turned a bright shade of red. "And, i did read your note, if you hated those 10 things i wonder what are the 10 things you like about me?"
Asami walked away, leaving Akihito stunned,embarrassed and blushing madly. He didn't even notice that Asami took his memory card which had all the photos he took that night.
