She couldn't stop the tears flowing from her eyes. If you would still call them tears. More like rivers flowing down her cheeks. So uncontrollably, pent up loneliness that finally made it's way out. Loneliness, regret,... She banged the door she was leaning on once more, wanting to cry out the occupants name. But all that left her mouth were chokes. Please, she thought.
She almost fell in when the door finally opened. She stumbled inside and would have felt to the floor if a set of arms didn't stop her. She melted into the embrace and kept on crying. "I don't wanna go to Australia" She managed to speak "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna"
Michiru dragged Haruka along with her to the couch and sat her gently down, wiping the tears from her face but new ones immediately trailed down the blonde's cheeks. Michiru knelt down in front of Haruka and saw how red and puffy the blonde's eyes were. How long had she been crying like this?
"I... can't..." Haruka managed to choke once more "He... I can't..." Another series of uncontrollable sobbing emerged from the blonde and Michiru hugged her close, stroking the back of her head, not really knowing what to say.
She tried to think of something, desperately wanting to comfort her lover. Then she remembered a song and softly started singing.
"You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in"
The sobbing was still there although not that hard as before. The blonde's sadness really broke Michiru's heart, she hadn't realised that tears were escaping her own eyes as well. Hoarsely she continued.
"Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through"
Both wrapped their arms around the other more tightly around the other, unwilling to let go, holding on to each other like their life depended on it.
"So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend,
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah!"
"Michiru" the racer whispered, barely audible "I love you" Michiru smiled in the blonde's neck, she placed a soft kiss just below the blonde's earlobe.
"Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly"
The violinist pulled back from their embrace and looked her lover in the eyes. Eyes that were still puffy and wet but shone with love for her. Looking into those teal orbs made her stomach flip. This was way beyond a high school crush, or just liking the girl. She LOVED her, she loved her more than life itself and she wanted to be together for ever. And they would be... after this racing season, they would be together.
"I love you too" she said, keeping her eyes locked with Haruka. "And after the racing season, we'll be together... forever"
Haruka nodded and swallowed "Forever... after the season" she nodded again and pulled the shorter woman close for a gentle, loving kiss...
