The summer festival.
The yukata's. The stalls. The festival ambiance.
This is the first year of high school for me. I had fallen in love with a prince. One I always believed who was dandy and majestic, capable of riding in on a horse and saving me from whatever troubles I would face.
But my prince is nothing like that. He's awkward and indecisive at times. He makes mistakes and misunderstandings over and over. And for a prince, he wouldn't be able to fend for himself one bit.
Even then though, I still love him. He's kind. He's gentle. And he will always be there for me.
But not today...
After having taken a bath with my sister, I dry my hair with a towel as I head to my room. After talking with my sister, and confirming the truth during the festival, I realize now…
"Ever since I first met him...I was in love with him…"
But that's all done. I'll support my sister who has loved him before I had ever been acquainted with him. I'll support her from here on.
I enter my room and close the door behind me. I lean against the door as the towel I'm using rests on top of my head.
Because I love my sister. Just as much as I love Senpai right now. And I'll support Senpai too, with the same reason. I'm sure...if I support them, I'll be able to…
Tears start to fall from my eyes as my head hangs forward. In the last moments of this unrequited love, I cry silently…
"What a short-lived love…"
Hello, hello...Itoshii hito. Tokei no ha- *slaps self* Goodness, "tsukiyomi" by phatmans is too good.
Anyways, hello (without musical refrains). Moriyama here. And no, this is not some late April's Fools joke if anyone expected so. Yes I'm starting a new series of fanfiction. BUT! It doesn't mean I'm stopping Harukoi. You could say, when thinking about the plot, this came to mind. This may even become material for Harukoi so...gwehehe...
An AN, but goodness...Haru in the OVA...I admit, I had to stay home "sick" because of...a couple of things when I heard how perfect her voice was to my image of Haru (thank you, Ayaneru!). And seeing her in motion, couldn't stay still; tried to go to sleep, but every ten seconds, my heart would go HNNNG from remembering...Haru-chan...
Aah, and I should stop daydreaming there or else I would be unable to make these Haru fics. Damn, it's going to be hard, now that I have a full visual and audio of her...I thought my heart was ready for all the heartburns, but in the name of Nisekoi, I'm just too smittened for my own good. Haru's debut episode in S2 will definitely kill me, seeing how super effective she was with the few lines she had in the OVA! XD
Well, enjoy this prologue and look forward to the chapters to come!
Love is when one cares for the other, even if they don't love you back just the same. Without any expectations or desire of a return. Even if they hate you to the edges of this world. To be able to steel yourself for such a misery is love…especially when it's done tirelessly as you support them at their side. -Green Moriyama
