Not GintaxAlviss this time, but romantic, so I thought I'd put it with Turning Point.


Longing

Alone in all the world, Ginta had the power to make her heart skip a beat. His mere presence made her shiver, and his cheerful voice could send contentment oozing through her bones. A dangerous kind of attraction it was, when he either had no idea or was choosing to ignore it, and the slightest misstep could turn their friendship uncertain and sour.

It was excruciating, though, waiting until he let his true feelings be known, and by the time that she realised he wasn't going to come up to her and pour his heart out, it was too late, and the last thing she saw of him was his cheerfully grinning, oblivious face, disappearing into the Gatekeeper Clown's portal.

She thought she would grow out of it once he was gone. She never did.
