Mugen no Yuuki - Dreamlike Courage

by zRewinDzz

Ishikawa Tooru. Yuki has liked him as far back as she can remember, however she's never even thought about telling him that, or even hinting it... and yet, somehow, he's now her "boyfriend" in order to help her turn down a confession? Will it really end after she turns him down, or will it turn into more than playing lovers? [Yes I put Yuuki in the title to reference 'Yuki']

[Hey! It's me again! I've wanted to write a HoriMiya fic for a while, and I finally got round to it. I totally think these two should be together as soon as possible, and it should be stated. Either way this is just a bit of a kind of prologue to open up the story, since I wanted to get this out ASAP]

"Come on, We're going." I heard those words leave his mouth, and saw a hand gently held out towards me. I was flustered, I didn't know how to react, at least not until he said the words I'd wanted to hear forever now. "We're supposed to be dating today, right?"

I ignored "today". Tooru just said we were dating. I didn't care it was an act. It was enough for me. So, as we prepared to go and turn down Yanagi, I truly meant the words I said. Tooru really was cooler than Akane, the lie was that it was "just a bit". If only you knew Tooru. I'm completely and utterly in love with you Ishikawa-san.

From almost day one of school, me and Tooru have been reasonably close. I met him through Hori, and although my friendship with her is truly special, I could have also said the same about Tooru. While Hori was more of a traditional, "girly" if you will, best friend, Tooru was more goofy. We'd often have skits, and inside jokes that the others would never understand. We were endlessly close, and yet at the same time, I ended up feeling so distant.

Truthfully even seeing him like Hori so much throughout the start of the year was painful, but also seeing him happy was the important thing... and yet despite that, I cruelly felt happy when Hori rejected him. I was also incredibly scared I'd lose him to Konno-san too, but again he stuck by my side. I feel like I've been given so much by him and given nothing back, and yet even now, even when I feel like I've asked too much of him... It makes me think that he may always be there for me, even if it is just as a friend, and that thought gives me endless happiness and hope for my future.

As long as Ishikawa Tooru is by my side I feel like I'll truly be happy. No matter if the feeling is replicated from him. I guess my onesided feelings will be endless, unless I somehow show the courage to change that.

[GAH! I love Yuki. Please let me know what you think, and if you liked it or not!]
