Letter

"An ordinary yet happy-go-lucky new letter carrier has been told to send a special letter to an unknown mysterious someone. The receiver never showed the face and for the very first time, the new letter carrier made the receiver came out of the lair."

Alternate Universe • Itty-bitty Angst • Romance • OOC-ness

A car arrived and the driver press the horn twice, the gatekeeper opens the gate and the car slowly gets inside the big mansion. It stops right at the front door of the mansion; a butler is ready to serve his master as he opens the passenger door. "Welcome back, master." He said, as the man handed his black case and coat to the butler.

"Make me some coffee and-" Another person got outside the car, a good looking woman. "-make that two, okay?" He finished as he threw one of his arms around the girl, making the girl leaned onto his chest.

"Understood." He bowed down and closed the passenger door of the car, letting the master and his companion walks inside the mansion first.

"Oh, one more thing; did you received another letter from her?"

"Yes, it's-"

"Keep it in your hand." Cut the master. "You know what to do with it, just this time, include a beautiful rose."

The butler lowered his head, thinking how rude his master is and how he pity the receiver of all the letters sent from this mansion. "Understood." He loyally replied and leave the master.

This has been going for more than a year already; the two lovers have only met once or twice during that period of time. They only spend most of their lovers' time by sending letters to each other. Unlike the woman, the man got tired easily after three months. Since that time, he decided to just send her all kinds of love poetry, beautiful ones.

It was 'till then that it bores him even more. He started to order his loyal butler to receive and send letters. The poems works, so well and it made the woman happy. She said it was all beautiful and she would like to receive more of that letters.

The butler feels happy for the woman as well, but the sad thing is that those letters… aren't written by the man's own hand and feeling.

Soft and warm
Sealed with care
Sweet and kind
Will ever share
Brave and strong
Yet so fair
That is her
She's always there

Sensitive to despair
Harkens to others welfare
Delicate she's elsewhere
Beautiful beyond compare

If you meet her
Best Beware
She'll steal your heart
unaware
Her name is Love
This I swear
There's none like her
anywhere

"Wow, this is a truly cliché poem." Ritsu was bewildered by the poem. This is not a thing that a letter carrier should be doing. She is purposely avoiding, violating and breaking the rule. Oh, give it a break; it's my thing to break rules. Ritsu mentally said. "Now I'm pretty curious to see who's behind this cliché handwritten poem… Geez, I even got itches in certain places~" She quickly wrap it back carefully and start up her motorcycle.

The letter carrier drove herself back to the mysterious girl's mansion, which as deadly as it looks.

"And here I thought she might be interesting, but looking at this mansion… kinda makes me think that there's something wrong with her." Frowning, she got off her motorcycle and walks up the small stairs, and standing in front of the door. Should I call her? She might be sleeping though… Ritsu sighed, and put the letter on the doorstep, then put a small rock on top of it so it won't flow away with the wind.

She smiled, if a guy could be that cliché, how cliché the girl could possibly be? She chuckles at the thought. Imagining these two lovers just made her laughing so hard.

"What are you laughing at?" The sudden voice made Ritsu jumped in surprise. "What are you doing here? It's late already."

"Oh, s-sorry to disturb you, I was just thinking ~ Haha" The letter carrier scratch the back of her neck in nervous. "Uh… I'll go now; you can go back to your sleep. Sorry, again." She stepped out of the mansion and suddenly stopped, as if forgetting something. Ritsu cursed softly and walking back. "But I'm done with my job today so I guess it's fine for me to… stay… a little bit… more? Maybe? If you don't mind?"

"Why you want to stay here?"

"Err… Well, it's kinda hard to explain, but I'll try to be more oblivious here so… I'm curious."

"What do you want?"

"I wanna talk with you, I mean; I just feel this urge to see you face to face. I know you can see me from that camera." Ritsu gazed at the small camera on the top corner. "It's not fair you know. You can see me while I can only hear your voice, from that thing." She said, pointing at the communicator. "Cmon, besides, it's late, people won't see you or anything. So will you come out any time now?"

"Who are you that you wanted to see me so badly? You don't even know me, we don't know each other."

"So what?" Ritsu scolded her softly, and then she took a seat on the chair. "I just keep wondering how you look like. It feels the same as if I'm blind or something when I talk to a voice without a face or figure to look at."

"You're being difficult. Do whatever you want, I'm going to bed. Good night." With that simply said, the letter carrier sighed.

"Fine, I'll stay here until you come out." The red light on the communicator and camera turned off. She sighed, "I will not move just- !" Ritsu could never finish her words as she collapsed on the floor. She remains down for the next five minutes. The owner of the house still trying to ignore what the letter carrier said.

That person is a nobody, just a letter carrier who's just being so annoyingly curious about her. No more, no less.

…

…

…

…That person's leaving already.

…There's no reason for that letter carrier to stay around.

One sighed made her stood up from her bed and walking to her desk. She turned on her laptop and see if the letter carrier's leaving already or not. She hates the urge she's feeling and how the latter carrier's words get into her so effectively. She fixed her camera and try to see if the letter carrier is anywhere nearby her front door.

I was only going to see if she's-

She stopped mentally, what she sees in the monitor is the same person, the same letter carrier, whose body is now lying down on the floor helplessly.

Her eyes widened in horror, but after she recalled the moment how this person loves to jokes around, she couldn't entirely believe what she saw. This letter carrier might just making fun of me, this person just wanted me to go out and help, so this person could see me in person. She shook her head in denial. "Hey, you, what are you doing sleeping down there? You should just go home now."

Silence.

She became a little bit scared. "I know you're pretending to collapse. Go on; lay down there all you like. I won't go out and help you either."

Another silence. Longer this time.

It's not serious; this person was just pranking on me.

She couldn't stop staring at her screen, waiting for the letter carrier to wake up anytime soon and say that she was just only kidding.

The letter carrier never did. "It's not funny! Quit it! Wake up now or I'll call the police!"

…

…

…

It reached her limit. She stood up from her desk and calling two of her maids. "Ria! Hina! Come with me now."

It takes only less than a minute for the maids to come to her. "Princess, what's wrong? Where are you going? It's late at night; you should go to bed already."

"There's someone collapsed in front of our mansion, we have to see that person. It looks like that person is not in a good condition."

"But we can't risk ourselves, Princess. What if it's a bad-"

"That person is the new letter carrier. If anything bad happens, it would be my fault." The words taken the two maids aback for a second and think how an ordinary letter carrier could be one of the Princess' responsible? Besides, the Princess herself has never left her room, so how could these two related? "I will explain everything later, but we have to help that person." That said and she went to her front door.

She wasted no time to pulled her front door and found the letter carrier still lying down without moving any inches. Of course, the person collapsed, how could a person move himself without any conscious? She shook her head and bend down nearby the letter carrier.

One of the maids got back inside the mansion and brings back cold water and a towel. The Princess lifted up the letter carrier with the help of the other maids then put the person on the couch. "Princess, let me take care of-"

"It's okay, I'll do it. It's my responsible." She said as she started to compress the stranger's forehead with a cold towel. "Ne… Do you think he's pretending?"

The two maids switch glances at each other. "Pretending? I don't think so. The body temperature is hot, it might be due to how hard he's working today and he might not have any rest that it causes her to lose her conscious."

"If I recall it, I've never seen him before as your sibling or a letter carrier. Is he an old friend of yours, Princess?"

The so-called princess shook her head in denial. "Of course not. I've never had any friends, I'm not good with socializing with others, and all of you know that." The maids nodded. "This letter carrier is really someone that I don't know at all. He's really weird and annoying, he said he wanted to see me face to face and just talk, though we really don't know each other. He's like some kind of a freak or something."

"Then why would you take the risk of the responsibility? He's could be considered as a total stranger."

"I thought he's joking because the first time he sent a letter here, he made fun of me. Then after a few moments, he's not moving at all and I can't just let a stranger laying down on my doorstep helplessly and ignoring him like a heartless person." She sighed and stares at the letter carrier who's still unconscious. "…I know I'll regret this right after."

"Princess, let us take care of him. You can go back to sleep, we'll stay up until he's back to his conscious. We also won't tell him that you came down here and help him as well."

"Alright, just make sure he doesn't know anything happens tonight, understood?"

"Yes, Princess."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll be back to my room and leave-" She stopped as a warm hand took a grip on her wrist. She quickly glanced back and gasped. "Y-you…"

"The number you're calling is not-" For the twentieth times, Kotobuki Tsumugi got the same answer. "Could she be this busy? I remember it clearly that she said she's now a letter carrier and she's still a regular letter carrier which her working time won't be this long." Mugi stared at her cell phone. "…Where are you, Ricchan?"

Just when she wants to give up trying to contact her friend, her cell phone rang. Her mind only registers one person in seconds.

Ricchan! She quickly grabbed her phone and pressed the answer button. "Ricchan? Where are you this late? I've been calling you-"

"Whoa, there ~ Sorry Mugi, there's something out of plan happens and don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. I uh…"

"Where are you now, Ricchan?"

"I'm…staying at my friend's house. Don't worry, there's no party or drinks or even drugs. I was just tired and decided to stay for the night here. Hey, Mugi, you there?"

"Y-yes… I'm still here. A-anyways, so you won't be back tonight, right? But… where exactly are you staying at?"

"Actually, just a friend that I just knew today. Not a guy, it's a girl and she's probably around our age, too. I'll introduce her to you some other time, okay?"

"Alright, if she's not a good looking girl, I bet you won't be staying at her house."

"Mugi… She's just a friend of mine."

"Yes, Ricchan, I understand." She formed a smile on her lips. Sure it sounds pretty suspicious at first knowing that her friend staying at a newly female friend's house. Knowing this, she couldn't stop thinking that her friend might swing the same way as her. "You should introduce her to me, but take your time."

"Mugi… A-are you sure you're okay? You sound pretty different somehow… I'll go back if you can't stay alone tonight." One of the reasons of why Tainaka Ritsu could take a girl like Mugi is how caring she could be. It's hard to see this side, this caring side, in a guy these days. Seeing Ritsu, feels as if she could offers both.

Only if you're really a guy…but then, I've settled my heart on someone else. She's been in a relationship with the same gender; it's been six months and at first she was only just wants to get rid of her feelings for her friend, Ritsu. It doesn't work, but she knew now that she can't lose her friend or her feelings. As time passing by, she started to develop feelings for her girlfriend and everytime Ritsu's around or acting like how she acts now, she can't lie that Ritsu's still have that special spot in her heart.

"Mugi…? You there…?"

Even though you never knew. She sighed, and smiled. "Ricchan, I'm okay, really. Next time, please call me or text me so I won't be stay up late at night wondering where you are."

"Okay, okay, I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you later ~"

"Bring her to me as your girlfriend."

"Wait, what?"

"Ja, Ricchan ~ Have a great time!" and she ended the line. "Mattaku, Ricchan… Well, it would really cute to see her girlfriend ~" Mugi giggles and went to her bed, laying her body and wrapped it with the blanket. "Oh well, it's a matter of time for her… Oyasuminasai."

"Y-you…"

"Uh… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" The letter carrier is taken aback with the sight. The girl is actually come out and helped her. She could never explain the feelings she had, it's new for her and all she did was just staring at the beautiful girl. Black raven-haired girl with a hime cut, long and silky hair, those grey orbs, and her body that looks really fits her figure.

"Excuse me?"

It snapped her back and she glanced at her hand, which still holding the other girl's wrist. "I didn't mean… I mean, I uh…" Suddenly, her phone vibrates in her pocket. She pulled it out and the call ended. She didn't get to answer, seeing her cell phone, she realized her friend has been trying to contact her cell phone for like twenty times.

"Hey, you should-" The letter carrier ignores the girl and calling back her friend. She sighed and thinking how annoying this person could act, it gets on her nerves when she heard through what she was talking about with her friend on the phone and this person saying that she would stay in her house.

And so the tragedy happens.

THUMP!

"Ouch! That hurt! What's that for! ? I didn't do anything to harm anyone!"

THUMP!

"Ittaii! You hit me twice! Gosh, never thought you'd be THIS violent to a stranger."

"P-Princess, I think that's enough. He didn't do anything to hurt us, w-we'll take care of him."

"No, please, girls, leave us alone. Now." That made the letter carrier frowns and still rubbing his head. Once the maids are gone, she continues. "You, I beg you, please get out of my house. I know you're only faking your unconsciousness. I don't want to be rude, but-"

"Hold on, stop it right there, Hime. You said you don't want to be rude? Just a few minutes ago you hit my head twice and that is not in a gentle way. I know you're freaking out seeing me collapsed and woke up all in a sudden like nothing happened; you even assumed that I was faking my unconsciousness. Well, you're right and I'm so sorry…" The letter carrier sighed and stood up. "I apologize; my jokes have gone too far. I've got what I wanted, I've finally see your face. You're just like what I thought you'd be." The Princess' face turns into pinkish color and that goes unnoticed as the other person already turning around.

No more words spoken as the letter carrier stepped outside the big mansion. She stopped for a bit and chuckles.

"In case you're wondering, I'm not a guy."
