A/N: A short drabble about our favourite mind reader and the cat-dog love of his life. Just the common he-loves her-she-loves-him-not story, though I really like them to end up together. Maybe in my next fic, I'd pair them up again and they'll be living happily ever after. XD

Yome's Greatest Downfall

By Eschewwsme143

-x-

How could you not notice my eyes as it sparkles every time you mention my name?

"Koko!" Sumire shouted in the halls as she ran past everyone to where Koko is.

I tilted my head from my locker and then faced the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. Sumire wore our uniform with such class and elegance that anyone would really envy her. One of the reasons why I love her, of course.

"Have you heard about it? Natsume and Mikan had a fight!" She beamed when she reached me.

My smile faded after hearing that. "Ah, those fights have been their daily routine Sumire. There is nothing new to that."

She chuckled. "Well, my boy. I can still smell the fruits of my labor after everything. Who knows? Maybe they'll break up one of these days because of those fights."

Then she left me and headed for our classroom.

Maybe we'd be together one of these days too, Sumire. Who knows too, right?

How could you not hear every beat of my heart for you?

There she is; standing in the middle of the crowd, looking so Goddess-like in that Grecian evening dress. She looked every inch of an angel to my eyes. This perm-haired girl never fails to catch my attention and I'm more than proud to say that I love her, though I don't really know if the feeling is mutual.

My heart pounded so fast as I decided to talk to her and at least, give her a compliment. "S-Sumi-"

"Natsume-sama! You look dashing, as always." Sumire squealed when she spotted the apple of her eyes. She then, quickly approached him and showered him with praises.

I swiftly backed off before any of them could notice my presence. I just can't afford the chances if they'd see the pain visible in my eyes. Sumire's night might be ruined once I enter the picture.

If only she'd look at me like how she looks at Natsume.

How could you disregard my efforts just for the sole reason that I'M NOT HIM?

"They're in Central Town now, walking hand-in-hand to buy some Howalon for his dearest Mikan. That should be me, Koko! That should be me!" Sumire said in between sobs.

That's because they truly love each other, Sumire. I told you they we're perfect for each other. I wanted to voice out these thoughts; only if I can.

"Sumire, they're a match made in heaven. You can't do anything about it." I said, instead.

She straightened herself and faced me. "Koko, I came to you because I know you'd understand me more than Yuu, Anna, or Nonoko would. Can't you shut up and just listen?" She said as she stormed out of the room.

I stiffened and just watched her retreating figure.

I know I'm not enough. I will never be enough for you. 'Cause I'm not him…

So, yeah. You can see Koko here as the boy who's madly and deeply in love with Sumi-chan. I hate it when they don't end up together but the plot wouldn't be fully accomplished if there would be a happily ever after on this one, right? XD

Constructive criticisms are welcomed with open arms. R&R people. :)
