You had always been enough
"Am I not good enough?"
How do you tell someone who is more than good enough that he is not good enough?
Because I don't.
Or rather I can't.
I held my lashes low, just enough to avert his pleading look. I feared that any words that escape my lips is an invitation for me to irrevocably into the pits of desire and sin.
"Odango," he lifted my chin, just slightly but it was enough for our gaze to meet.
"Seiya.." He draws me to him like the bright star in the depth of darknessness. But instead, I pushed him off and took off with some weak damsel grace unlike of the usual ditzy me.
However, I could see it in his eyes. He needed no words, no reassurance from me. I could etch out the hurt and the helpnessless that envelops us both as my strides drew distance between us. He understood me, even as I was remain unjustified by my cruel, cruel actions.
"Odango," the blonde haired girl stopped in her tracks, just a distance before me. Her bun twin tails were distinctive anywhere.
I was expecting her to turned around, and say something, anything, to berate me to overturning her perfect world or shake her love for her Mamo-chan.
But she didn't. Instead, she picked up her steps again. Larger and quicker steps now.
"ODANGO!" I yelled angrily, trying to mask my hurt tone. I must be such a jerk, to hurt her so badly and still yelling her for it. "ODANGO, WHY ARE YOU WALKING AS SLOW AS YOUR BRAIN THINKS!"
The normal odango would have yelled back and scoffed at my pathetic attempts to make her angry. But this wasn't the normal odango.
This was the odango that was stabbed by my very existence.
Kou Seiya, you idiot!
I took after her and with a few large strides, i caught up with her. I reached out my hand, shakily, instantly regretting.
Look what a fool I had delegated myself to. Someone lacking in confidence to even stop the one he loves from leaving.
Too late, something I hate more than lack of confidence is to give up.
"ODANGO!" I took her right hand and spun her around to face me. "What's the meaning of this?"
Before me, the soft face of my beloved was streaked with tears.
"Odango..."
I don't need words now.
I pulled my Odango into my arms. How vulnerable she is now, how her sobs pierced my brash heart. I'm the cause of her heartbreak and she was the cause of mine.
"Seiya, in a parallel universe, perhaps I'll be with you. I love Mamo-chan, I really do but I love you too. I love you two, in different ways. Mamo-chan was my destinied, perhaps I love him as I was fated to love him but I love with with a passion that came out of shared experiences and volatility. I cannot turn my back on a fate that the world rest so heavily on.
But I love you. I love you, Kou Seiya."
"Odango, you made this character Kou Seiya alive. A man who burned with bright tail of the stars, with the ferocity of a protector and the tenderness of the waning moon. "
Odango, go back to your Mamo-chan.
We will not cross paths again, you're mine for tonight and that's enough.
I just completed Sailormoon! I love this unrequited love factor even as I love UsagixMamoru. But Seiya is just as awesome on his own 3
