Title: Alone

Author: Alex (erin013)

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Author's note: Golden Pair angst, non-yaoi. Actually, I don't like angst (or this piece) but Erin (grr…) got my sick, and I feel all pessimistic and wrote this. Also, it's pretty short, intended to be a one-shot, but I finished this and decided it was too sad. So I wrote another half. )

Oishi:

We were close. Really really close.

Everyone thought we were best friends.

School, sports, whatever. Everything brought us closer.

I loved you.

Not like that, but as a friend.

The same way you love your family.

Then you just weren't there.

It started out with little things;

You called my somewhat possessive, wouldn't sit next to me, wouldn't always be my partner like you used to.

You were my best friend, and you were fading away from me.

I was possessive, I give you that.

But only because you were leaving.

Leaving for somewhere.

Somewhere with me left behind.

And then you told me.

It wasn't a big thing, or something entirely new.

But it hurt.

You told me you didn't want to be my doubles partner.

You said you didn't ever play well around me, fulfill your potential in my presence.

But it still sent a sword though my heart.

Sure, we'd always be there, standing next to each other.

But more so as strangers.

The bond we created was severed, in one foul swoop.

I hope your happy now.

Because I know I'm all alone.
