When Len has been informed about the death of his father, he had no other choice but to go back to the place where he dreaded the most. His hometown, the place where so many memories haunted him at everywhere he looked. Tired from all the family drama, he sought place at the dusty attic where he found two unusual thing. One beautiful girl, and a large, full body, vintage mirror. Behind the mirror, there she stood, wearing the same shocked expression that mirrored his. A love that defied laws and theories. A forbidden love.
TEASER:
I watched as she smiled at me brightly, her forehead resting against the glass that separated us. For uncountable times I've wished for it to disappear, to let me hold her close, smell her fragrance and feel her warmth. But no matter how I hoped for it to come true, it never did. It stayed frozen in place, separating two worlds, dividing two different times.
She rested her palm on the glass, and I did the same. Her hand looked so little compared to mine. I wonder how would it feel like to hold her for real. But even through this thick glass, I can almost feel her warmth seeping into my hand, comforting me in this dark, dusty, cold place. Even if her hair isn't in that neat bun as usual, and even if she's not wearing a fancy dress like the first time that I saw her, I've never seen someone as beautiful as her. Her cheeks always had this pinkish hue, and her eyes always sparkled like precious sapphires. Beautiful, angelic, pure, innocent.
I wish I can stay with her forever, but I know that I can't. No matter how I wished for it to happen.
I curled my fingers, and she looked at the gesture and grinned. She opened her palms further, as if meaning to hold mine inside her smaller one. The simple action was enough to make butterflies erupt in my stomach and I can feel my cheeks heat up.
Her shoulders shook as she laughed, but I can hear any of it, it's fine though. As long as I can see her and her smile, it's alright. Because I love her. Even if we won't be able to meet each other outside this world we live in. It's okay with me. But I can't help but wonder how her voice sounds like. I've always imagined it sounding like sweet, tinkling bells, or as pretty as a nightingale's song. I bet it's even more beautiful than that.
Then her smile faded, and she turned her head to look at something. When she averted her eyes back to me, it was full of unshed tears. My brows furrowed, and I pressed both of my palms against the glass. She rested her head against it, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She said nothing, but I too, know why she's weeping. From the single window on this dark attic, I can make out the first sunlight seeping through the gaps and cracks. Looks like our time is over again. Resting my forehead against hers on the cold glass, I gave her the biggest smile that I could muster. She smiled through the tears, and my heart warmed.
Pressing our palms together, her face crumpled as she tried to hold in tears, I can do nothing but give her a silent message through my eyes. It's going to be alright, I'll be here, waiting for you to return, always, until my very last breath, until you grow tired of me. Until this magic fades. Until you've overcome your sadness. I will be here, making you smile and longing for you and your warmth.
As the first rays of sunlight hit the mirror, her image started to disappear and I sat silently as I felt her warmth leaving my hand. She gave me one last bright smile before her image disappeared completely, and I was left staring at my own reflection.
Hello! Magic2Dreamer here reporting with a new story!
You may have, or may have not, read my other fanfic, Bullet. And if you have, I greet you hello! :3
Well, what do you think about it? Should I continue or not? Please tell me what you think through reviewing! :D
Some questions that'll probably be asked by someone:
Q: Was this inspired by magic mirror?
A: A little bit of yes and no. I have watched the PV for that amazing song months before, but the thought of making a fanfic out of it never really crossed my mind (because I think the ending would be quite predictable) I was watching the video for Avril Lavigne's song, Let me go, just a while ago, and, well, it inspired me to write this fic. I'm still not sure why though, maybe because of the mirrors? XD
Q: Is this a RinxLen fic?
A: If you still don't know, yes it is.
Q: Is this a tragic story?
A: I ain't telling anyone about the storyline and the plot! It'll ruin everything!
Anymore questions? Feel free to ask, I'll do my best to answer it ^^
See 'ya, Evil little sharks of doom and travesty~!
