Soulless
Chapter One: Agony
Why could he not see what I felt? Why did he ignore my wondering eyes? Why was it that he spoke over everything I said as though it were unimportant babble. I just did not understand how someone could be like that, and yet… I persisted.
"You have to let this end, Yuni," Rikku said gently.
I shook my head. "I can't give up like this."
Rikku sighed in frustration and threw her hand sup in the air. "Yuni, he just doesn't feel that way about you, even though you keep telling yourself that he does."
I shook my head again with a slight glare. "Not that he does, that he might."
She gave up and got to her feet, speaking as she walked away. "That just isn't going to happen."
Despite what she had said, I did indeed continue to make myself noticed by this legendary boy. I had heard all about him from his constant informing. He was a Blitzball star, son of the greatest in the sport, Jecht, and also his first-time hater. He loved to brag, and that bothered me a little, but I was blinded by it all, gullible to his exaggerations.
His golden hair spilled around his face in a velvet mess that I longed to touch. He wore his old Blitzball gear that he had failed to replace after being thrust into our world, but I certainly was not complaining. His bulky chest emerged from the rifting gap in his jacket and he wore it wide open proudly. His laughter was like singing to me where everyone else mocked him for it, as did his voice, his touch, his every movement.
I could not deny it. I was driven, but he was heartless and always turned away from me. When we first met we were quickly friends, then things got warmer between us, but they had gotten out of control, and how did this happen?
Let me tell you my story this time, and maybe you will understand why everything has fallen apart.
