Do You Love Me? - Chapter 14 - The Accidental Overhearing
A light rain falls. In the dark of the night, a tall, dark-haired man makes his way to the nearby church...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The young, "tulip-headed" girl sits on a bench, reading a small book, "Here I am, back in the church..." Taking a bite out of a cucumber sandwich, which was laying next to her, she sighed, "I wish Takako could have stayed with me longer..." She placed her palm to her forehead, "After the thoughts I had earlier today..." Her mind flashed back to the events of the day, the words, "Unless he doesn't love me at all" ringing in her head countless times. Himeno took another bite out of the sandwich, "If only-"
A rustle could be heard coming from outside, "Oh no, someone's coming!" She grabbed her sandwich, popped it into her mouth, and held on tightly to her book, "Where to hide...Where to hide!?" Catching a glimpse of the pedestal, she ran to it, throwing herself into the sheltered cavity it concealed. The door began to creek open..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The chamber was dark. The young man noticed this as he stepped into the cold church. Fresh water droplets dripped from his long, soaked hair and clothes, for he hadn't been wearing a jacket to protect himself from the downpour. A quiet whisper escaped his lips, "Himeno..."
Crimson eyes snapped open, 'Hayate!?' the girl thought, shockingly, a whisper of a blush creeping over her shadowed face.
Hayate closed the large door behind him, paced up the altar, "Whatever I say here...God will witness...If...She is with God...Please allow her to hear this confession..."
Himeno clasped a hand over her dainty mouth, 'Could he mean me!?' She awaited his next words.
The Knight halted his trek at the pedestal, "I didn't think I could feel such feelings for anyone. After my experience with Takako, I never dreamed I would ever be blessed with one who I could learn to develop feelings for...And to have my feelings hopefully returned..." A soft smile grazed his lips, "But my feelings were returned...And I believe she cared for me as well..."
His hand dropped into a tight fist, "Only...I, being the coward I was, could never admit to myself that I..." Before he spoke too soon, he chose his words very carefully, "That I...cared for her. And now, because of me, she's...gone. I let her slip away from me when she was just within my grasp all along." Hayate let bitterness and resentment cross over his soul as he ranted onwards, spilling out his emotions in a whirl of incoherent thoughts, "If I hadn't been a fool, she would still be with me right now...Perhaps she would have returned those feelings if I had only had a chance to tell them to her again."
By this time, Himeno's eyes spilled over in a waterfall of tears; anguish, fear, love, happiness, and depression flew over her mind in a wild parade, 'Hayate!'
"In the Lord's name...Please allow a foolish man's message to reach her, for perhaps I...Perhaps we...Could be at peace with each other from now on...I want her to know that...I will never have these feelings same feelings for another." With those last words spoken, he stepped back towards the entrance, tracing his eyes over the church's surroundings before closing the door behind him, and trudging through the dark, wet ally out of the room.
As soon as the door slammed shut, Himeno jumped up, staring after him. She was speechless; frozen to her very spot, "I...can't believe it..." The girl paused for moving, bringing a hand to cup her chin, "But...He never actually said he loved me...or even used the word love at all..." a frown appeared on her face, "His 'feelings' could mean anything...He could have meant 'like', 'friendship', 'crush' or even 'love'!" She cursed under her soft breath, "Dammit! He never specified what he meant!" Himeno bit her lip, her eyes glazing over once again, "But...I'm the one that made him so depressed...He's so upset because of me...And now..." Before her thoughts traveled too far, she took control of her emotions, "I better get some shut- eye..." Walking over to a bench, she laied down and closed her eyes, 'Your wrong, Hayate,' she thought before dreaming off, 'It's not your fault...It's mine.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wow! ;_; That was so sad! I seriously cried while writing this...The angst is so horrible! *cries* I hope to finish this story soon, otherwise I'll go into a depression myself over their depressions! XP Anyway, next time: The confrontation! Himeno reflects upon the past events up till now. Look for it soon! ^_^ Ja!
