10 Breathe Again (Basil x Haru)

I see her standing there with a wide smile on her face.

What a beautiful smile that is equally as beautiful as her personality.

I'm listening to her talking about how the cherry blossoms were going to start blooming today.

I'm pouring all of my attention and concentration on her very being.

The way she smiles, the way she laughs, the way she moves, even the way she smells.

To me, everything about her is perfect.

"Basil-kun? Are you listening?"

'Oh yes I'm listening, you're beautiful voice is like a wicked Siren that entrances me away from reality and into your dastardly clutches.'

"Basil-kun? Are you okay?'

'Of course I am, I'm here with you right now after all.'

"Ne Basil-kun, you don't blink much do you? Don't your eyes hurt?"

'I can't tell anymore, when I blink, there is a sense of separation between us that I dislike. It's a worthy sacrifice.'

"Basil-kun! You're starting to turn blue! What's wrong with you!"

'What? OH! My lungs are yelling at me to take in air.'

Inhale

Exhale

"Are you okay now, Basil-kun?"

"Oh yes I'm just fine, I just spaced out for a moment there. Thank you."

"Oh alright, well try to remember to breathe, you gave Haru quite a scare-desu."

"Yes, I'll remember to do that from now on. Sorry about that."

Phew, I almost died just now.

I was just so enthralled with her beauty; I forgot how to breathe and dismissed blinking all together to never let her visage out of my mind.

Alright, from now on, I won't forget to breathe to keep me alive, but I'll continue to just stare at her without blinking.

Just how beautiful could she be?

Her name is quite befitting to her.

Haru, meaning spring, like a beautiful spring day in Japan with millions of Cherry blossoms blooming their fragile petals to let everyone be entrance by their beauty as I have been entranced by her.

"Ne, Basil-kun, are you okay? You look as if you're deep in thought or something."

I see her wave her hand in front of my face and I snap out of my daydream-like reverie.

"Yeah I'm just fine Haru-san; I'm just perfectly content with seeing your beautiful visage."

"Ha-hahi, Haru's not that beautiful…Haru thanks you for the compliment nonetheless though-desu."

A small tint of red gracing her delicate cheeks.

"No, I think that you're beautiful. As beautiful as a cherry blossom who takes my breath away."

I just smile at her and she smiles back at me.

"Well then what must Haru do to keep your breathing then?"

"Perhaps allowing me the pleasure of taking you in as my own? Then I don't have to count every moment that I'm with you and just focus on the present."

"Ha-hahi. Is that a confession?"

"Yes, yes it is."

"W-w-well then. Ha-Haru will have only one thing to say to that."

Fingers twiddling together, biting on her bottom lip, her eyes wandering off in different directions.

"Haru will take the responsibility of keeping you breathing, and in order to do that Haru will allow for you the pleasure to taking Haru."

"Perfect, well then Haru-san would you like to go on a date through the cherry blossom park right now?"

"That sounds lovely, let's go then."

Hand in hand, a smile for a smile, a boy and a girl walking through a park full of pink, beautiful, fragile cherry blossoms with a hearty laughter.

If this is a dream, I'd never want to wake up and would rather stay here.

With this wondrous sense of reality, I can only tell I'm alive by the sound of my own breathing that's on the same rhythm as her own.


Well that's it! Hopefully you liked it! I like it. 8)
