Too Late for Saving Me
Oh God, look at this dork… are you seriously twiddling your thumbs? Look at your tie. Its fucking crooked. You're sweating ten times worse than I ever did. Still, that smile… How could anyone not love that smile. I know I do. I must admit, you're a god damn idiot most of the times but you cleans up nicely. You always have. I don't know what you ever saw in me… but whatever it was, I'm glad you did. How long has it been anyway? Two, three years? It's about time you had a date. I couldn't be prouder. Most people would be confused by that, but I just want you happy. You deserve every ounce of happiness in this world. This is a step in the right direction.
Oh no… she's late. Of course she is. She never was one to be on time to anything. Except my funeral. I'll give her kudos for that one, I suppose. She was a good friend, despite everything I put them through in my teen years. If it has to be someone, I'm glad its her. Still, her tardiness is making you nervous. I can tell. You're smiling but your eyes are unsure. You thinks she's going to stand you up. Damn, Kirishima. Slow down on the wine my love. She'll be here. I know she will but if for some reason she doesn't show, well I may be dead, but I can still do unspeakable things. Stop checking your watch baby… relax. This is Mina. You know Mina. You've never been on a date with Mina, sure, but just breathe. Be yourself. She'll adore you. She always has. Everyone has.
Not going to lie though, I'm kind of glad she's late because I get to sit here and look at you. Study you like I used to only you can't catch me this time. Kind of bittersweet but I'll take what I can get. You're studying the menu like you don't get the same thing from here every time. Steak, medium rare with mashed potatoes and French fries. I used to tease you for doubling up on the potato dishes and you'd stick your tongue out at me every time. I'd roll my eyes and pretend to be annoyed but it always made my heart smile. Even now, that pensive look on your face makes me want to reach out and kiss you. Your lips look like they haven't been kissed in quite a long time. I really hope Mina fixes that for you. Three years with no affection? I know you must be struggling, no matter how much you miss me.
"Kirishima?" I look up. I didn't even notice her walk in I was studying you so hard. She looks good. I can tell she dolled herself up for you. If I could thank her I would. You deserve that kind of attentiveness. "Oh my gosh. Look at you! You look so good!" When you stand up to greet her, she pulls you in for a hug. It's a strong hug. I can tell. She knows you need it as much as I do. When she pulls back, she giggles and fixes your tie. That blush… I've missed that look on your face.
"Sorry I'm late! Traffic was terrible. It took me a little longer to get ready than I anticipated." Of course, you're not mad. You always had such a forgiving nature.
"Hey, no sweat," you say, trying to play it cool despite your nerves. You rub the back of your neck, trying to think of a compliment. You're struggling but at least you're trying.
"You look… stunning by the way." You're blushing deeper. Kirishima… quite the charmer. Subconsciously, you reach up to play with the ring on the chain around your neck. I hadn't noticed it until now… You finally took it off. Tears flood my eyes from both pride and sadness. I remember the night I gave you that ring. Id never been more nervous in my entire life but the second I dropped to one knee, you cried. You wouldn't stop looking at the damn thing all through dinner. Too bad I never made it home to you that night. I'm rather happy I let you go ahead of me. There's no reason your life had to end too. Still, the fact that the ring is finally off your finger after all these years means you're finally ready… and even if I'm not, I know I'll never be. Still, knowing you're happy is enough. With that being said, I'll always be with you should you need me. Always watching from afar. Goodbye my love. Until we meet again.
