This is the only angsty one-shot. That's why I liked it - I definitely prefer writing about angst. That'll become clear in Angels and Reapers pretty damn soon.
I hope you enjoy this chapter - you'll see a returning character next chapter. One that'll appear a total of FOUR times!
Cya~
PS: The Sugino and Kanzaki didn't go to the top of the list so yep.
On the fourth day of Christmas my author gave to me...
Sledge - Yada, Kataoka and Isogai - Heartbreak
Yada had been sitting on the same iced park bench for a while. Nakamura had told her she had heard Kataoka was coming to this very park today. Yada's gaze shifted to the card upon her lap. She would confess today – or not at all. She didn't know how long ago her crush on Kataoka had started – maybe it was when she first saw her. Honestly, the teen had no idea. The only thing she was aware of was that each day, it grew. It was as if it was a living thing. Yada didn't want to ignore it any longer. The big-busted girl wanted to make her feelings clear now. She only avoided it up until now because her class didn't know that she liked girls – and only girls.
Getting up, Yada watched her frosted breath curl in front of her. She didn't know how long she had been sitting for, but it must have been quite a long time; the muscles in her legs had seized up. Her grip tightened on the card, now clutched desperately in her hand. Surely she couldn't be out here much longer.
Kataoka obviously wasn't going to show.
Sighing, Yada turned, her aim now turning to a coffee shop in the neighbouring street. A cup of warm hot chocolate sounded pretty good to her now – especially with marshmallows. As she turned away however, a racing image caught her eye, and she gasped.
She WAS here. But she wasn't here alone.
Yada never thought she'd hate the sight of the male class representative, but right now, all she could feel was pure hatred for the ikeman. The duo were racing down a snow-covered hill in the park. Isogai had his arms wrapped around Kataoka's waist, as the two plummeted down at a high speed on top of a wooden sledge. Snow was flying up behind them, and both people were laughing. Yada felt her heart twist in loss. She kept her eye on them all the way down.
Near the bottom of the hill, their sledge overturned and both teens were flung into the white blanket below them. As Kataoka squirmed, trapped under Isogai, their sledge hit them covering them in snow. Laughing, her eyes shining, Kataoka pushed Isogai off, sitting up. Isogai followed suit, and both burst out laughing again as Isogai had a large amount of snow settled on top of his head. He shook it off and got to his feet, dusting his clothing off. Offering a hand to his female companion, Kataoka took it and got up, leaning against him. She then shook the snow from her ponytail and combed her fingers through her hair, wincing as she came across knots.
Yada's grip had increased on the card so much, it was starting to tear. Hot tears of fury and sadness pooled in her large eyes. Isogai, the ikeman who had no flaws, had stolen her Kataoka away. Yada shook her head, her eyes closed in an attempt to get rid of the tears. That was to no avail though. Desolate, she dropped her card in the snow before turning and walking off.
"So where to now?" Kataoka asked to Isogai. The two teens were walking side-by-side. After their crash they had gone for a few more rounds before they decided enough was enough.
"I'm not sure." Isogai shrugged, pulling the worn sledge behind him, "I heard there was a good coffee shop nearby. We could warm up."
"Fine by me." Kataoka smiled, before something on the floor caught her eye. A red… thing. A few steps later, she swept down and picked it up. She hesitated when she noticed it was a card declaring someone's love. Should she read it? Eventually, curiosity got the better of her and Kataoka slowly opened the soaked card.
To Megu,
I've loved you for a while. I don't know since when.
I don't think you would accept me though.
So I'm going to try now.
I hope you don't think too badly of me…
Love you.
Kataoka was stunned into silence. She stared at the words, hoping she had something wrong. Had someone come here to find her? Had someone got the wrong idea when they saw her and Isogai?
"Kataoka-san?" Isogai was looking at her with concerned eyes.
"Yeah?"
"What is that?" Isogai nodded at the card.
"Um… nothing. I found it." Kataoka replied, pausing before pushing the card into a bin they were passing.
"Well okay." Isogai shrugged.
Kataoka had the message on her mind for the rest of the day.
It says in the character book Yada has a crush on Kataoka, so that is where this came from.
