Fuwa Time for the Pure Heart
An alternate fuwa fuwa ending for our YYH OTP.
It's been three long years since Yusuke promised me that he'll be back. There wasn't really anything that made me sure that he would return. Just his words and the sincerity and all the emotions that went with them while he was looking at me with those strong eyes.
I've been working hard. Really hard. Just so I could pass time without feeling so bad, feeling so alone. I know he'll come back. He said so. Why I believe him, I don't exactly know why. I just do. I've always done so. I guess that's just how much I love him.
"Keiko! We're leaving now. Don't forget to lock the windows and doors before you sleep, okay?"
My parents are currently venturing to other cities for our ramen shop's expansion. It's very good that we're aiming for more but only means more work for all of us. Not a problem. I'm currently taking up Business Administration to help in my parents' dream of a ramen shop chain. It's not that hard for me to study as I've always been a good student. Unlike someone I know.
"By the way, dear, is Yusuke around already? I haven't seen him in a long time." She's like Yusuke's second mom.
"He'll be back soon." He should be here by now.
"Okay then. Say hi for us when you see him."
"Yes, mom. Take care!"
And now I'm home alone.
When I look at you my heart always goes thump-thump
This shaking feeling is fluffy-fluffy like a marshmallow
You're always so persistent, You don't even notice Me, always staring at your profile
When we're in my dreams, The distance between us can be shortened
Sometimes I just want to sleep.
Because in my dreams, Yusuke is just a whisper away. He wont' be from somewhere I have not the slightest idea about. In my dreams, he won't be teasing me but be whispering sweet nothings to my ears. In my dreams, he won't be groping my but be loving me in places I myself haven't thought about before him.
A girl can dream. And fantasize.
Again today, your unexpected behavior makes my heart go pound-pound
Reading too much into your casual smile, I overheat!
The serious face of yours I saw one day
Appears even when I close my eyes
Even in my dreams is fine, I want some Sweet Time for just the two of us!
Today's dream is a bit different than the others. Usually I just remember you teasing me or the times when we almost lost you. Today, I dream of you coming back and taking me to a restaurant for a surprise. Yes, this is unusual. This is not Yusuke. But it was sweet nonetheless.
Then I just see your face. Those strong eyes again, promising me marriage when you come back in three years. Idiot! That is today! I will never forget those words. It was my mantra for everyday just so I could move on with my life while I know you're facing your past and trying to get a future for us. I hold you word on that.
I never thought that three years was a very, very long time. It hurts so much I can't even cry anymore. I did cry a lot during the first year of his absence. I did doubt him at some point. I mean, he didn't even give me an engagement ring for Pete's sake! Not even a kiss. I was waiting for it like real bad. I sound like a pervert. What the hell? I must be losing my mind from missing you too much. Damn Demon King.
Oh, God, why Is this Dream Night so painful that I've come to like it?
I've taken out my emergency teddy bear, will I be okay tonight?
Of course it's not okay that you're away. But it has helped me a lot in dealing with my feelings for you and thinking about the future. I wanna marry you, you idiot. I've been in love with you since the first time you groped my butt in elementary school. And, again, I'm not a pervert like you.
Where are you?
"Where are you, Yusuke?"
A tear fell.
But before landing on the table she's been sleeping on, a hand brushed the tear away along with a deep sigh.
"I'm home."
I have no excuse. I've recently been rereading all the fanfics I have saved and came across some very good Yusuke/Keiko ones and decided to make something out of all the feels I've got for this OTP.
