Useless. I'm just damn useless. Even if I did try, I would fail. I know it. She doesn't like me, I'm just her personal punching bag.
I curled up in a corner, shoving sweet ice cream down my throat as fast as I could, it couldn't cheer me up today. Meiko had taken the twins out shopping and she left me in charge of the house. I looked around at the scattered ice cream pots on the floor. I even fail at that.
I didn't understand why I loved her so, all she did was abuse me, that's not love. It's probably hate. She only needs me to help look after the twins, if it weren't for them I would never of had the chance to be with her.
The next thing I heard was the banging of the letter box, I looked up startled, oh crap, all the ice cream pots were still all over the floor. I jumped up and scooped them up in my arms and threw them out of the kitchen window, to then assume a natural position on one of the stools before Meiko opened the front door.
Whatever worries I had had about the ice cream vanished as soon as I caught sight of her
'Mei-Chan' I sighed. She was so beautiful, everything about her was. I wasn't aware of a thing other than her until the twins shoved me off my stool. I blinked and looked at them both, ow.
Meikos sweet laugh reached my ears as she dragged the blonde headed demons off of me. 'Come on you two, time for bed.' I watched as she ruffled their hair and then marched them up the stairs.
I let a small sigh escape as I stood up and brushed myself down. She still doesn't notice me... I shut the kitchen window, ignoring the scattered ice cream pots that were now sprawled out on the lawn. Will she even notice them?
I dragged myself up the stairs to help her with the twins, just one of them is a handful. Once the two had finally calmed down enough to go to sleep I trudged back down stairs to engage in an activity for the evening. I slumped on the sofa, without ice cream, it pained my to notice that I had eaten it all. Mieko helped herself to a can of sake, as always, she was going to spent the evening a drunken mess whilst I put up with it...and then lie to her the next morning about why on earth I had a bruise in some obscure location, or why I am hanging upside down in the bathroom by my scarf.
An hour later I was as bored as ever and Meiko was sprawled over the arm over the sofa, giggling to herself about the TV remote falling on the floor. I pulled together my courage, looking of at the drunken angel. 'Mei-Mei-Chan?'
She rolled over onto her front and crawled over to me. Huh? Normally she would run the other way if I wanted to talk to her...so cute!
'Yes Kaitoooo?' She lent her head on my shoulder, I felt my heart melt. She has never been this close before, why was she being so, nice?
'I-I was wondering...' I looked down at myself, how could I possibly tell her? Come on Kaito...pull it together. Don't ruin this for yourself . I love you... 'W-what you thought of me?' idiot! That sounded pathetic, oh you're in for it now. She's going to think you're stupid. Encouraging thoughts in my head...I looked up hopefully, did it actually sound okay?
'Ahaha...ha...oh Kaito! Is this what you are worrying about? –hiccup-' Meiko nudged me with her head. My heart was racing, say you love me, say you love me! After an amount of giggles she answered me. Her face had turned serious, she sat up properly and looked into my eyes. They were so beautiful...even if she doesn't like me, at least I have this chance to get lost in her eyes.
'I do like you Kaito...an awful lot. You probably think I am stupid now...I only abuse you because I'm scared that you'd find out what I felt!' Her eyes were filled with tears as she dropped her head, clearly embarrassed. That didn't bother me right now. Had I heard correctly? Mei-Chan...likes me? She likes me! She likes me! She likes me! I felt like singing. I flung me arms around her.
"Thank you, thank you! I love you Mei-Chan! I love you so much.' She slowly lifted her arms and returned the embrace. It was a dream come true.
By the time the twins were up I was already up making breakfast for everyone, nothing could rain on my parade today. The two stumbled into the kitchen, 'H-hey Kaito, what's the occasion?' Rin asked, rubbing her eyes.
'Yeah, what's so happy about today?' Len added, on the same wavelength as usual.
I grinned at the two and handed them their breakfast, of pancakes. 'Do I need a reason?' I asked. 'Now excuse me. I must get Mei-Chan out of bed for some water.' I skipped out of the room, hearing the twins giggling about Meiko being drunk once again.
I hopped onto the landing as Mei-Chan emerged from her bedroom. 'Mei-' She walked straight past me. 'Wh-what?' That's right...she really was drunk last night...she was lying. The world seemed to fade to black in front of my eyes. My chest felt ready to collapse in on itself, I clutched at my heart and my head it hurt. I subconsciously sank to the floor. Silent tears streaming down my checks. Oh Meiko. Meiko, Meiko. It felt like my world was ending, it was as if there was no world anymore, nothing without Meiko. I thought it was true, I thought she loved me!
'I like you Kaito' her sweet voice was the last thing I heard before the misery overtook me.
