Okay, this is my very first fan fic so be nice! The scene begins at the beginning of volume 8 in the manga because that's all I've read so far. Nope, haven't seen the anime yet, but I hope to soon. Anyway, Tooya's memory (part of it anyway) has just returned and he's left Aya for Miori. Yup, it's a Yuuhi & Aya fic! Of course that's how it should have happened in the first place. No offense, but I like Yuuhi better. : )
... intro is for flashback scene
Chapter 1Aya had not eaten in two days. She'd stayed in her bedroom staring at the wall thinking. Her first love... her Tooya was gone. Gone forever, never to come back. He was now with his first love, Miori. And it was perfectly understandable how he had fallen in love with her a year ago; she was such a sweet girl. (A/N Remember now, Aya had only just met her.)
Aya hadn't heard from Tooya or Miori since the car accident, but she had gone to visit Tooya at the hospital and walked in on them kissing. They looked so happy together... like they were meant for each other. They had no other cares in the world... just to be together. It caused them both to blush and giggle to themselves as they noticed her at the doorway.
... "Oh! I didn't know you were here...um...Miss Mikage," Tooya said.
"No, no... my fault. I should have knocked instead of barging in like this. I-I'm sorry," Aya said, her eyes downcast.
It hurt her so deeply to see the man she loved kissing someone else. And he didn't even remember her name! She just couldn't bear to tell them the truth... that Tooya had been in love with her. How much of it had even been true after all? Aya looked so much like Miori. Was that the only reason Tooya had been drawn to her? Was their entire love a lie?
"It's all right! I'm glad you came to visit!" Miori said.
"Yes, I haven't had any visitors yet," Tooya said smiling.
"Oh... well I-I really can't stay too long. I just came to give you this," Aya said presenting a small basket of foods. Before handing it to Tooya, she took out the card she had written to him. It contained sentences proclaiming her love for him and how much she missed him, but there was no need for it now. He was where he truly belonged... with Miori. ...
Aya rolled over to face the other wall. What if all along she had been meant to be with Yuuhi? What if it had only taken this series of events to allow her to notice? Could it be that fate had always meant for them to be together?
Aya glanced at the flimsy doors separating their rooms. She saw the shadows as Yuuhi took off his shirt. The simple motions that she had never noticed before now attracted her attention. A whole new feeling came over her. Was she...? She couldn't be...
No! No! She loved Tooya. And nothing could change that. Even though he loved someone else, nothing could change her love for him. Nothing!
Aya gasped. They were her own thoughts – thoughts that had been expressed to her not so long ago by Yuuhi. How could it be that she was now in the same position as Yuuhi? She felt the hurt and pain that Yuuhi had felt the entire time that she had been with Tooya. How did he deal with the pain of loving someone he couldn't have? Realization sank in, and Aya was taken out of her thoughts as Yuuhi opened the dividing door.
"Aya..." he said his heart sinking as he saw tears forming in her eyes. He couldn't stand to see her cry. He only wanted to see her happy.
"Oh, Yuuhi..." she said sitting up.
"Aya, I can't stand to see you cry," Yuuhi said as he leaned down to hug her, "I only want to see you happy."
Aya willingly accepted his hug. There was so much warmth in his embrace. His love for her was no lie. She could tell this simply from one hug.
Yuuhi closed his eyes. He didn't want the hug to ever end. He was perfectly content just having her there in his arms. He didn't care what else was happening around him. He just wanted her.
"Look, I don't know where I stand now that Tooya's memory has returned. I just want you to know that I'll always be right here for you as a friend... or more. I love you Aya."
Her hidden feelings for Yuuhi were emerging and engulfing her completely. He had always been there for her and she knew he always would. Had she buried her true feelings for fear that she would fall in love with him? That she would find a never-ending love like no other, so pure and true.
But what about Tooya? She had been in love with him, and was still in love with him. Theirs was a love that could not be so easily replaced. It was young and still needed to grow, but it was deep. Never before had Aya felt such feelings for a person.
Her head throbbed with confusion as she cried on Yuuhi's shoulder. She didn't know what to feel. She didn't know what she was supposed to be feeling. Tooya had only rediscovered his past and his other love two days ago. It was still too early to decide anything. All she could do for now was cry.
"Yuuhi, I'm so sorry. I-I shouldn't be here crying to you like this," Aya said breaking apart from their hug. She wiped away her tears and put on a weak smile, "Anyway, what's for dinner? I'm starving."
"Oh, um... I don't know yet."
"Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be delicious. Call for me when it's ready. I'm going to take a bath."
Yuhi nodded as he left the room. He knew what was going to be on his mind the entire time he was cooking now.
Really sappy and sad I know, but this is only the first chapter. I promise to add more humor into it in a bit. The character's personalities may be a bit different, but I just can't describe them as brilliantly as Yuu Watase did. Plus this is my fan fic so nyah nyah nyah! J/K Also please review! I've worked really hard on this!
