A/N: Hello everyone! For those expecting an update to my Ichigo x Hinamori fanfic I'm sorry to say this isn't that (obviously, lol). My muse sort of died with it but I plan to continue it at some point, just probably not in the near future.
So this is a one-shot that popped into my head on my way to class and I couldn't resist. It was partially inspired by the fact there are so few Fourze fics and partially by the fact I have been a supporter of Gentarou x Tomoko since episode 2. There is a possibility of OOC ahead, and probably some AU (I don't acknowledge any Movie Wars as within the timelines of the shows so if you do it will definitely be AU, otherwise it's about where the show is.) This is my first time writing for Kamen Rider and one of my few forays into first person POV. So without further delay here you go.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen Rider, if I did Shotaro and Philip would be Gentarou's teachers and Daiki would have hooked up with Natsumi.
Nozama's POV
"Rocket ON!" It all happened in an instant. One moment I was standing there, preparing for my certain death at the hands of a Zodiart, the next I was staring at Gentarou's back as he collapsed from the force of the blow. As he came out of his transformation I can vaguely recall seeing Meteor launching his limit break, but my eyes were too focused on Gentarou's unconscious form to really care. The rest of the Kamen Rider Club ran to his side trying to get him up and back to the Hutch. "Why?" I thought somberly to myself as my eyes started to betray the pain I was most certainly feeling in my heart. Why had he taken the attack for me? Why was it him who was suffering? Why…
Gentarou's POV
I slowly opened my eyes to see the now familiar view of the Rabbit Hutch's ceiling. "Well that didn't work out quite as I had thought…" I whispered to myself. Suddenly I was aware of a faint sound close by and a voice calling for me. "Gentarou…" I turned my head to the side, wincing at the pain from my act of human shielding, to see Tomoko sitting beside me, eyes red as if she had been crying for hours. I almost lost it from the sight but managed to contain myself and asked the question that had been plaguing me. "Are you ok Tomoko?" "I'm fine, but what about you? Why did you do that? You could have died and then where would we be?" I was barely able to keep up, she said this all so fast to try to hide the fact she was on the verge of breaking down. "I'm fine Tomoko, I've suffered a lot worse. The main thing is you're safe. I would never be able to forgive myself if anything ever happened to you or any of my friends and I could have stopped it. I'm pretty sure that Zodiart would of rather faced antennae-head and Meteor at the same time than deal with me if he hurt the one I loved."
As I finished my sentence I realized what a huge mistake I had just made. I had never planned to tell Tomoko how I felt, her friendship meant too much to me, but it was out there. I took a deep breath, prepping myself for the inevitable rejection. As I opened my mouth to speak, to tell her it was ok that she didn't feel the same, I felt her hand rest on my arm. I looked up to her to see what had to be the brightest and most beautiful smile I had ever seen. She lightly kissed my forehead and smiled again. "I love you too Gentarou, but please, don't do anything like that again." I simply smiled in response before my exhaustion from the day and my injuries forced me to pass back into unconsciousness.
And there you have it, I hope you liked it. If not then I'm sorry you had to sit through that.
