The Fools that Wait
by Estirose
c 2008
Every time Yuuto came to the Milk Dipper to see Airi, his fiancee-to-be, he wanted to growl. And there was no reason to. She had no clue who he was, had no idea that the young man that was sometimes her brother's friend, who didn't like her coffee, was anything other than that.
Still, he watched the fools that tried to attract her, tried to get her attention. There was something in her that prevented her from noticing them; partly her own nature, and partly because, deep inside, she had to know that it was wrong.
That he - the mysterious future him - would come back to her.
Someday, things would be right. She would remember who he was, and the future him would step out of time, and everything would be as it should have been. They would be together once more, they'd have the baby, and everything would be all right with the world.
Then all these fools would be gone, the threat of infidelity with them, back away from where they shouldn't be, leave them alone. Because they would be back together some day.
He swore to everything that it would happen.
