Hello everyone :)

I was kinda bored, so thought i'd make another oneshot... It's kinda sad. Tadase-centric. Enjoy!

I walked down the pathways behind the school, heading towards the Royal garden. It was a Saturday, and it looked as though it was going to rain. I felt a drop hit my head, and so I ran towards the garden, opening the door and closing it gently behind me, my clothes slightly wet.

"Tadase?"

I looked up and saw Amu-chan, who was also wet. I smiled softly.

"Hello, Amu-chan. What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing... You're all wet. Why didn't you go home?"

"You are wet as well, and I needed to get away and think. What about you?"

Amu shrugged.

"I'm thinking too..."

"About what, if I may ask?"

I sat down next to her, and she didn't look at me as she spoke.

"I'm thinking about... Us."

I blinked at her softly.

"What do you mean?"

She looked at me sadly.

"Tadase. You confessed to me not long ago. You told me you loved me... I was very shocked when you said that... I was happy, but shocked, but..."

She looked away from me and I became worried.

"Um... 'But' what, Amu-chan?"

Amu sighed, shaking her head.

"I'm not ready to fall in love yet."

I felt like I had been stabbed in the chest but nodded slowly.

"I... I can wait..?"

Amu shook her head, biting her lip.

"I'd feel bad if you waited!"

"Why?!"

She blinked as I raised my voice slightly, and I blushed looking at the table.

"I'm sorry... I-I shouldn't have said that so loudly... But... If you aren't ready right now, I am willing to wait for you..."

"You can't..."

"But... Why?"

"Because!"

"Amu-chan... Please."

I looked at her in sadness and confusion.

"I'm your friend no matter what. Just tell me."

She looked at me sadly, then looked down.

"I can't picture myself ever loving you, Tadase... I'm sorry."

I closed my eyes and leaned back, hanging my head over the back of the chair. I ran a hand through my hair and let out a sigh.

"Amu-chan... It's your heart. That's okay... It's your heart..."

I bit my lip as I felt tears begin to rise.

"It's... Your heart.... I can't change that..."

"Tadase... I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry!"

I could tell that she flinched as I snapped at her.

"Don't be sorry... I'll get over it... But right now, I... I hurt... I-I should be the one who is sorry... For hoping... For hoping you would care for me like I do for you..."

"Tadase!"

"I need to go."

I stood up and turned away, but she grabbed my wrist.

"There are lots of other girls out there."

"But I wanted you." I pulled my wrist away and ran, pushing the door open and running. Never once had I hated love as much as I did then.

Amu-chan...

Betty...

Ikuto-nii-san...

Why is it that everyone I love leaves me?

Just a little something I thought abouuut :]
