Imagine Me and You
By Starian Princess
Synopsis: Unrequited love is the love last served. It gives us more pain than pleasure, and more tears than smiles… However, it's also the love you can't help but have. Here's a collection of random drabbles pertaining to the worst kind of love- a love that holds no rewards yet is impossible to stop, a love that is felt by six deliciously handsome men for one Haruhi Fujoika.
Entry 1: Bittersweet
Pairing: Kaoru/Haruhi
Words: 300
In complete honesty, the whole family-setting really wasn't his thing. Sure, he had initially vouched for it, desired to let it soar with its magnificent invisible wings, and planned to nurture and protect it until the others somehow realized the truth. But now it was no more than a lingering dream. More of a stage he had needed to pass through himself.
Because in truth, when he looked into the very depths of his soul and set aside the sometimes inevitable bantering and wise cases of denial, he saw what had always been there to begin with. That evil unresolved emotion, burning through his skin, giving him horrible nightmares, and showing him once again how utterly selfish he (or anyone for that matter) could truly be.
It was a curse, both beautiful and yet terrifying. It was wickedly enchanting, a vine creeping up towards his heart, planning- no, plotting. And it knew, (oh, it knew) it could very well succeed. It haunted him, stood by him until it could no longer go unnoticed. And it left him (but not entirely left him) with so much doubt and guilt, it could barely be contained.
But still, he continued to try and ignore it.
So he frowned bitterly, moving his seemingly apathetic gaze towards his clubmates… his friends- the people he cared about, the people he would risk his life for.
And when the hints of a smile began to tease his lips to brighten his foul mood the atrocious curse reappeared, forcing him to direct his eyes… on her.
He knew then he couldn't hide, couldn't block away the light- her light. When she smiled, his heart would race. When she laughed, he would ache. Because even after all the suffering, all the sacrifices… He knew she didn't belong to him.
