Do the title and summary ring you a bell about one of most romantic song in V-day? Yes, inspired by Owl City's Enchanted cover, my mind suddenly drifted off my currently favorite pairing, AkayaAn! x3 Have I told you that Adam Young is brilliantly sweet? Replying Taylor Swift's song with the same song is just... brilliantly sweet, right? :D
This is told by An's perspective first, 1/2 part of the story :)

She never believed time could change someone until she met him.
Those mesmerizing green eyes, they were not like she remembered before. In the jam-packed train, he looked outstanding, as though he was the only one colored among monochrome people and surrounding, especially a pair of his jade green orbs.
Is that... Kirihara Akaya?
She blinked. Once. Twice. She shook her head slightly, her now shoulder-length orange hair swaying back and forth. He did look different.
In a surprising way, because 'good' was just not enough.
His incredible height seemed slender, well-built. His seaweed hair curled cutely and touchable; she somehow was sure that his black wavy strands felt silky. His expression, the devil-may-care one, gave her an urge to smile.
She bit her lower lip. Few seconds ago, she cursed, something that she rarely did. Blame the crowd and fully occupant seats that insisted her to stand with hand clutching the handrail. Boredom struck her, a yawn escaped from her mouth. Her watch displayed seven o'clock in the afternoon. Kanagawa was sure far from Tokyo.
After accompanying her brother playing tennis for high school's Kantou Tournament, she was ordered to do a survey in Rikkai, the next and eternal rival of Seigaku. She and Kippei now went to Seishun High, and they still devoted to tennis.
She sneaked a glance again. Over those shoulders, she saw him looking at the outside of a window, hand cupping his cheek. She couldn't help but wonder what was different from two years ago—perhaps it was the body, but she didn't see any significant change. Or perhaps it came from his maturity, which added shines on his eyes or his wakame head... She didn't know. Then she guessed she didn't need that. Smiling, she shrugged and continued staring.
The train stopped at the next station, jerking her a bit. Regaining her balance, she scanned the whole carriage, seeking him. He was bending down from the sudden jolt. He rubbed his eyes, and then that moment happened.
Those emeralds laid on her honey irises.
A second, two seconds…
She turned her head quickly before he could see her blushing. Her heart thumped—how come a guy who had sent his own brother to hospital fastened her heart rate? The erratic melody in her chest made strange feeling. He was not like this. It was all wrong. He was Kirihara Akaya, for heaven's sake. She gripped the handrail more tightly.
Did he keep looking? She questioned silently. It was a hope, actually. She still sensed his green eyes shot at her, through the crowd. No, no. This was supposed to be incorrect.
But people change, right?
That night, in the train to Kanagawa from Tokyo, beneath the starry, sparkling sky, Tachibana An had to admit something.
She was enchanted.

Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Don't hesitate to point out the errors, I'm kinda lazy to re-check it (or even get a beta-reader) -_-"
Thanks for reading! Reviews will be nice ;)
