Lavi - Heart
Lavi stares across the room to the center of his world. The meaning of him living...
Akki.
He loved her...He loved everything about her. He loved her personality, her courage, her love for her friends. He loved her hair, the way it shined in the light, the way it went from black to red tips so seemlessly. Her eyes, her red eyes that seemed to stare right through him. Her kind heart, her very soul.
How he longed to caress her cheeks, and kiss her soft lips.
To be able to say, "i love you", over and over again to her. For her to love him back. He wished he could love her... with the non-existent heart of his.
But Bookman would never allow it...
Bookman's words haunted his every dream, or whenever he saw Akki and the others;
"Do not let your heart be taken by. Those 'friends' of yours, are merely ink on paper, which we write with.. A part of history.."
They echoed hollowly through his mind.
'But-', he thought...
Akki comes over, looking worried about him.
"Hey Lavi? Ya alright? You're zoning out. C'mon, we gotta get our new mission." She says to him
He smiles at her concern.
"It's nthing Akki. Just thinking."
She looks as thoguh she still has a feeling theres a different reason for him to feel that way.
"Alright. Well hurry it up, or we'll leave your slow ass behind here haha!"
She lasughs to lighten the mood.
He longed to be able to kiss those lips of hers, as much as he wants, whenever, knowing they're only his to kiss.
"Haha! Alright! I'm coming!"
She races ahead. He gazes after her retreating figure.
'-but what if my heart has already been taken?'
He thinks with a smile and follows. He would stay, stay with her. If nor as her love, but as her friend, if thats what she needed.
For her... He'd give his HEART.
