Transient Fireworks

:::UsuiXMisaki:::

The festival at the end of August was lively and was overflowing with people.

I was wearing my yukata & geta which made a clanking & clicking sounds.

Our hands were intertwined together, making me blush a little as we walked through the crowds.

Then, the fireworks suddenly lit up the sky & we both looked up.

But instead of focusing on the colorful fireworks, I secretly stole a glance on your handsome face. Watching your eyes glittered with amusement, the small smile on your lips... I was trapped in your trance.

When we grew tired of walking, I remembered us sitting on the sidewalk, listening to the distant sound of the orchestra. The whistling sounds and strings reverberated. A brocade cap bloomed bigger and bigger in the night sky.

I sighed, summer will end in a little while. It suddenly became painful. But I brushed it away.

Instead, we laughed & laughed, enjoying the moment together. We talked about random things until we found our way to love.

I remembered myself saying, 'I love you...' without even realizing it. I blushed & looked away.

But you held my face & stared deep into my eyes, 'I love you too,' you said in a voice that could melt even the stoniest heart.

You leaned closer to me & I could feel your warm breath. My eyes fluttered close & your lips touched mine.

That kiss was embedded in my memory for the rest of my life.

Although it would be better if I'd come to hate you because I knew it was the best way to forget you, but on a day like this... I'll remember you again for sure.

Now, even though I knew we will never meet again, still, I want to see you. I want to see you so badly my heart felt like shattering to pieces.

I reminisced the summer day when you were with me.

I kept on forcing myself to forget all about you. This was just too sad & the pain was like a thousand pierce to me.

Why did we have to meet? Why did you have to come into my life & left me broken? My throat tightened my eyes stung & warm tears trickled down my cheek.

I close my eyes & it was like you're there.

I sighed.

I felt my own body heated up as adrenalin pulsed through me.

I was in love with you; in that voice and in those eyes...

If I would notice, time was passing by quickly. I'm still here, searching for you. Searching for the slightest evidence that, for once, you were here with me.

And now, I looked up at the fireworks all by myself making my heart prickled with sadness & pain.

Very soon, the next season will arrive.

My heart reminded me that I had watched the transient fireworks with you.

I still think of that summer day when you were with me.

Yosh! Minna-san, natsu_no_sora desu! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! m(_ _)m

Hai, so if you could notice, there are some redundancy in the words or meaning & if you know your anime, the events would rang a familiar bell in your head, right?

You know why?

Because I based this story to the song 'Utakata Hanabi' by Supercell! Yeeey! Did you guess it right? :D

The song was used as ending song of Naruto Shippuden (I recommend you to listen to this so you could get the feeling of the story's ambiance :)). I used the English translation for it & add some other ingredients to bake this story in my mind.

I hope you like it (even though, it's tragic). Thanks for reading & please take your time reviewing c:

Ja, natsu_no_sora deshita! Bye bye! o*u*o
