Disclaimer: I do not own any mentioned characters, all I claim is the story.

Author's note: I got extremely bored in class and started writing this and finished it at home. This is set a little over four years after the Frontier kids get back from the Digital World and the twin's mother passes away. Story is based around a song by a band you've probably never heard of. This is just a stupid drabble, I know it's not great, reviews good or bad are welcome.

I also want to apologize for the lack of updates for my other Takouji story, I wrote the beginning of the next chapter and it's just been collecting dust in my story folder. Whelp.

Takuya's POV.

Wait For a Smile

I hope you know that I love you.

I remember the first day I ever saw you. Your long, raven-black hair danced in the air as you walked past me, and I felt as if time were in slow motion as you continued away and into the subway station, answering the call from Ophanimon.

That was nearly five years ago.

I know I'm not the brightest guy, but I remember things, especially things like this. How could I forget the day I denied I was in love at first sight? Sure, I never had feelings for anyone before you, and I didn't want to believe I was in love with YOU of all people, but I was.

And here we are now.

It's been awhile since our adventure, but one thing hasn't changed is my love for you. I feel so happy and carefree when I'm around you. I enjoy your company, and even though we fight, we never stay angry at each other for long. You're someone I can count on to always put a smile on my face, even though I try my best to do the same for you. We all do.

But you push everyone away; including me. Aren't we friends?

You can tell me anything, I'll help you, Kouji; don't you know that?

I hate to see you depressed.

Your ocean blue eyes become a dark abyss, filled with darkness that sends chills down my spine. You become cold and distant, like you're in another dimension.

I call your name, but you don't hear me.

I hate to see you sad.

I feel as if my heart might break, my best friend, my love, sinking into a black pit and there's nothing I can do to pull you out. I try to make you happy, I really do, and I know it's no longer enough because I'm loosing you. You think I don't see those cuts on your arms? The pain in your eyes, the hurt in your voice?

It hurts me too. The boy who always puts others before himself, but now he can't even help himself.

I hate to see you angry.

You snap and scowl because your scars won't heal, and no one can understand your pain and frustration. I'll be honest, I don't know what it feels like to have lost, but I know I will soon if I don't do something.

I can't give enough of what it is you want, what you need.

Right now I'm barely sleeping because your heart is barely beating.

I hope you know that I love you.

I won't give up on you. And if it was me slipping away, I know you wouldn't either.

The boy of light is becoming darkness, and I won't allow that. That's not you, and I know that's not what you want to become.

I'm going to keep on loving you, even if I don't get it in return.

I don't care.

Without you, I would die, my heart will never heal and I can't bear going on without you by my side.

Life would just never be the same, I hope you know that. You mean something to your friends, your family, me. I won't give up, I'll be here for you to help you out of this black hole.

I'll make you smile again, how you used to like old times. Your blue eyes aglow and your creamy white skin tinted with a lovely rose. Your smile that I love to see, because it's ecstasy to me.

And in that moment-

-I looked into your eyes, and they burned so bright.

Pretty in white.

I'll wait for a smile.
