This one is kind of based on something in my life, but I changed details and mixed it up a bit so that the feeling could translate into a story of sorts and also fit the anime.
This chapter is about Yuka and Kakeru when they were younger, and it's from Kakeru's viewpoint, but it's meant to be more friendship focused than romance.

Colour: Yellow
Title: Smile in a Bottle.

It was the end of the day, and he went to his locker to get his sneakers. When he opened it, and pulled out the sneakers, he gasped and jumped back a little.
Dozens and dozens of pins tumbled out of his shoes, some pricking his leg before they fell to the ground. This had happened before but each time he would blink in surprise for a moment, still registering it.
To his side, he could hear the sniggering and whispers of his classmates. He reddened slightly in anger, and then proceeded in kicking the pins to the side, and getting the rest out of his sneakers, ignoring the people around him.

"Kakeru-kun!"

He looked up at the familiar voice. Yuka pushed her way through the crowds, ignoring the class friend who had tugged at her sleeve to tell her not to, and stood by Kakeru's side.

"Let's go home now. " She took his shoes, and tipped the pins out in one gesture. Then, she led him out of the school, paying no attention to the cries of "odd-eyes" and "need a girl to protect you now , do you?". Once they were a small distance from the school, Yuka pulled Kakeru to a side.

"Here, you can swap over your shoes now." She had been holding them, and now she handed them over. With a grateful half-smile, Kakeru took the sneakers and put them on. He put his school shoes in his school bag, and they continued to walk.

As they walked, Yuka chatted endlessly, telling Kakeru about all that had gone on in class that day, sharing anecdotes , and sometimes just talking about random nothingness in the way she usually did . Slowly, as he listened, and gave back some replies, Kakeru started to feel a bit better.
Then, Yuka paused and turned, giving Kakeru a brilliant smile.

Kakeru smiled back, took the instantly-made memory of that smile and put it into a glass bottle that he then kept deep in his soul, along with all his other memories. And the minute that smile in a bottle got there, sunlight burst out of it, bathing his soul and heart in soft sunny tones, making everything else about his life seem better, even if only for a moment.

Well, that turned out shorter than I thought it would.. Was a lot quicker to do as well. I doubt I will be able to update with the other 4 chapters anytime soon though…

In the meantime, please review.
