Hello! TingTing desu. This is my first fanfiction, it's based on Honey and Clover. I think it's going to be quite angsty with romance (of course). YamadaxMayama. Please enjoy!

PS I am so, so, so sorry. I had to upload this again because I discovered a spelling error. Arrrrgh, sorry! Won't happen again!


Prologue

She sat hunched over the clay, head down, pearly tears caressing as they slipped down the contours of her face. Her honey-hued hair cascaded around her shoulders, a protective shield against the world. The world. In which she couldn't have Mayama. She couldn't have him. She couldn't touch him. She couldn't even reach him. Yamada dug her fingers into the soft clay. She revelled at its willingness to change beneath her fingers; ever sturdy, yet ever changing, as long as you stayed with it. Unlike her and Mayama. That couldn't change. Or rather, they couldn't change. Ever. Mayama's love was like a lighthouse, a shining beacon for the lost, never changing, even in the harshest conditions of unrequited love.

With a gasp, Yamada cruelly wrenched herself from her reverie. The clay had collapsed between her hands. The sturdy, flexible, changeable, clay. Between her hands. Clay never collapsed between her hands. Never. She and clay had an understanding, they communicated with each other in perfect synch, never straying… And now, even clay betrayed her. Yamada gasped as a wracking cry ripped through her throat. No, she told herself, firmly. The clay hadn't betrayed her. It was she, herself. She had betrayed herself. Where was her strength? Her confidence? Her sense of self-love? Her wavering, paper-thin laugh broke through the air. What was self-love when there wasn't Mayama?


So there it is! I hope you liked it! Please tell me how I can improve it if you think it's worthwhile. I accept flaming as well, but please tell me what to do better in it! Thank you very much!
