A/N: Just be OC-ing everyone over here…

1.

Sora,

I find myself distracted throughout school. I cannot seem to focus on the lectures, or the professors, on the words. There is nothing but you. There is only the way your hair shines in the light as you sit by the window in first period. There is only the furrow of concentration between your brows during math. Only the way you laugh with your friends in the cafeteria.

I pray and I hope you answer my letter. Don't dismiss it. I only wish to see more of your smiles. So…

Will you go out with me?

2.

Shigure tells me I am a romantic. Hatori tells me I am a fool. Perhaps they are both correct.

I have not stopped smiling since you said yes. I have not stopped floating since our date. I am lighter than air. A mere wisp of wind would blow me up to the stars.

You have made me the happiest man alive. Certainly the happiest man in this school. I could be happy forever after if I could be a part of your own joy.

I should love nothing more than to take you out to the movies next weekend.

Whatever your answer, I shall be at your game Friday night, cheering you on from the stands. The only thing louder than my voice, shall be the beating of my heart.

3.

Are these letters too cliché now? Now that we are older and graduated? Should I be more adult and simply call? I find that there is something nostalgic in writing down my thoughts and sending them to you.

I cannot believe the years that have passed with you – the movies and the dinners and the dates. The happiness that has filled me to the brimming these past two years.

I wish a thousand more years at your side, a thousand years to watch you grow and thrive and blossom. Nothing in this life would make me happier than to remain with you always.

4.

There is nothing I wish to say to you today except that I love you.

Others might pen sonnets, compose ballads, sing melodied. But I have only these three simple words:

I love you.

5.

I dreamt of you last night.

I dreamt of your skin against mind, the touch of your hands, the breath of your kiss. I dreamt of fingers and legs intertwined and of moving together like the waves of the sea.

I wish for this to be more than a dream, but first –

If I told you a secret, would you believe me? I want to tell you why we cannot be together as other young couples, why I am so different. But the risk is so great, it terrifies me. I am terrified of losing you.

But I am more terrified you will turn me away. But I need to tell you. I need you to know. Know that, even if this secret changes everything between us, it will never change how I feel about you.

+1

I am sorry.

I want to send you this apology, but I know you will not know me, that you will not remember us, so there really is no point. no reason to tell you that I am sorry I wasted years of your life knowing nothing could come of it. I'm sorry I broke your heart, even if you don't remember it. I am mostly sorry that what we had is over.

So one last time…

I love you, I love you, I love you…
