Bento Boxes
Such a pretty, calm face. That cute wavy hair... I wish I could touch it even just for a second. I shook the thought out of my head. What was I thinking? Like I could really touch Shimizu's hair. But if I had a single chance... Would he allow me? I was sitting on a bench a little farther from him.I looked his sleeping face. His angelic face never left my head from the day I first saw him. I love the way how his hair flies with the soft breeze as he sleeps on the grass. When he plays his cello, it'll be like a sweet song ringing in my ears over and over again.
Suddenly, his eyes opened slowly. I stood, startled. His blue eyes were on my direction, his face was emotionless. Oh my! What to do? What to do? "Shimizu-kun!" I heard someone from behind. Then suddenly, a huge crowd of screaming girls ran towards him bringing different kinds of bento boxes. Whew! I thought he was looking at me. I said to myself. I looked at the screaming girls surrounding him as they give they're bentos to him.
"Here's a bento from me, Shimizu-kun!" a tall, blonde girl said.
"Here's mine too! It has eggrolls inside!" another said.
"I made this one, specially for you..." a short-haired girl said.
"Uhh... Th-thank you..." he said calmly. The girls shrieked saying, "He's so cute!" I stared at them for a little while. I saw Shimizu's face enlightened up as he eats all the bentos. Maybe I should make him one. I thought.
The Next Day...
At lunch break, I went to the place at the back of the building where Shimizu used to sleep. When I got there, there was no one to be found. I wonder where he is. He was always here when there would be a break.
"Fuyuumi!" I heard someone called. I turned around and saw Shimizu and Hihara sitting under a tree. "Fuyuumi!" Hihara called, waving his hand up in the air to catch my attention. "Come!" I walked slowly towards them, holding the bento on my right hand. Thump! Thump! I could almost hear my heart beat fast. "What's that, Fuyuumi?" Hihara asked, looking at the bento. I immediately hid it on my back.
"N-nothing." I said shyly.
"Isn't it a bento?" he asked again. I nodded then held it towards Shimizu. "I-It's for you..." I said softly. I could feel blood rushing up to my cheeks.
"F-for me?" Shimizu asked sheepishly. I nodded slowly.
"Let me try!" Hihara said and took and egg roll from the box. Suddenly, his face turn green after eating the egg roll.
"What's wrong?" I asked nervously.
"I-It's—" he seemed uncertain of what to say. Then I realized what was wrong. My heart suddenly sank. I grabbed the bento and said, "I'll just make another one." I look down to my feet as I turn around to walk away.
"Wait." I heard Shimizu from behind. I turned to look at him. He grabbed the bento box then started eating it. "Sh-Shimizu-kun... You don't have to... It's not that good... I—" I stammered but didn't listened. When he finished it, he looked at me, smiling. "It was good. Thank you, Fuyuumi." He said as he hands me the empty box.
"I'd love to eat more of your bentos if you'll make me."
My heart skipped a beat. He smiled so sweetly that I couldn't say anything. For a short while, I was speechless and did nothing but stare at those blue eyes that I love the most.
"Fuyuumi?" I heard Hihara calling me. "Fuyuumi? Fuyuumi?" Somehow, Hihara's voice seems to fade from a distance. All I could think was Shimizu and his lovely smile. I'll definitely make you more bentos as much as you like, Shimizu.
