Zis, my friends, is a spin-off of Chapter Five in my story "A Race of the Pulse", which is basically a collection of GakuLuka fics. I copied it down, word-by word, so I edited some parts. BUT I'VE CHANGED THE PAIRING FROM GAKULUKA TO...to GakuRin. Hope you enjoy~


He had always been very antisocial. He was not one to go out of the house simply because he wanted to. She had known him only as an acquaintance solely because he went to school and was in her class. Their relationship started when she happened to be passing by his house on an errand, and heard him singing along with a video. His surprisingly naturally deep voice had captured her soul, and her virginity along with it.

They had come together surprisingly fast. In a year they were going out together. His cold demeanor slowly melted away to raw, honest sweetness, like winter snow washing off the new spring ground.

Then he left, a part of her heart leaving with him.

It was a beautiful spring day when that happened. They were sitting on a bench in the midst of cherry blossom trees, the fuse of the flowers enveloping them entirely. The scent made the air hazy and heavy, loaded and perfumed with the gentle smell that now seemed to pressing upon them.

"Don't you think it's a beautiful day?" she asked him, her eyes shining.

He smiled back, although she felt that something was rather off about his smile—as if he was faking it. "It's splendid."

Her eyes combed his face, taking in every feature. A worried look passed before her eyes. "Are you okay?" she questioned. "Is anything wrong?"

Now she could see his hesitation. He swallowed and got up, pacing back and forth among the trees, a crunching sound under his boots as they crushed the fallen cherry blossoms, which were so thick that they made a carpet. His shoes made imprints in that carpet.

"If I told you I was going away, what would you say?"

Her eyes widened as she took in the news. "You're going away?"

He nodded. "I got a scholarship for this really good college, and my mom is an avid supporter of educationI'm sorry," he added quietly to her, as she bit her lip and tried to hold back her tears.


I would like this to be the prologue of a story. Maybe I'll get to it, if I have the time...But meanwhile, you guys will just have to be content with this. ^_^"
