The Love Letter
by Archangel

Chapter Two

"Go away, sunlight." It was a sunny Saturday morning, cool and breezy, a perfect day for a walk, but though this was the case, it's still "Go away, sunlight" for Rukawa Kaede.

He didn't have a nice sleep last night…or should we say, he wasn't able to sleep last night. In fact, by the time his system went zero, the sunny Saturday sunlight had just arrived…oh poor Rukawa.

Rukawa hated this morning, the light stimulates him to be awake when all he wanted to do was to sleep. And so he had no choice, besides, his stomach was grumbling.

So, he stood up to do his morning routine, wash his face and brush his teeth, go outside and…

"What the-?"

A letter. It's not very often that he received mail, what's more unusual is receiving a mail contained in pink fragrant envelope. From a fan? From his mom? Definitely not from school and it wouldn't make sense if it was a recruitment letter from America.

So with a puzzled look, he opened the letter and read its contents…
Kaede,

From the moment I saw your face, that first ever time your eyes locked into mine, I realized you were beautiful. From the time your shoulders touched mine, that first ever time your body got close to mine, I realized that I'm falling for you. From the first time you spoke to me, though with words that sounded cold and shivering, I realized you are an angel, an angel that made my earth into heaven.

Every time we play, whenever you look at me, and when once you accidentally held my hand, my heart pounds hard and screams out for your love. That time when you asked me for practice, how do you think could I say no? Kaede, even if you're an angel of death asking me to give you my soul, I would gladly do so if it was you.

Though you told me once on how you loved someone, someone who I know is not me, I smiled but inside I was dying. Still, I should be happy for the man I love. Your happiness is my glory, Kaede. Your happiness will be my life, forever you will be in my heart, giving me life by your mere presence.

I know that you can never ever respond to my feelings but I'm already contented with you knowing. You may have another person beside you right now, and I will always be happy for you. Kaede, I love you. You may not know how much but remember that I really do. I love you, Kaede.

Akira
Speechless. Cold. Motionless. Shocked…but happy. His hungriness didn't bother him anymore. Knowing what he knew just now was already enough to make him full. What's more shocking was that he began to like this sunny Saturday morning…

And with a revived spirit, Kaede then turned to go back inside his house and as his door closed he looked up the ceiling and smiled.

"Maybe today is a good day for a walk, ne, Akira?"

****

Laughter and jokes spread all around Sendoh's home. It was already morning and everyone was having coffee. No one dared to open the topic about the truth or dare that happened the night before because no one dared to make their deep hidden secrets be open again to everyone who are now fully awake.

But there was this naughty little Hikoichi who wanted to give a morning shock to Sendoh Akira. With a loud voice, he started singing out the lines in the mysterious love letter…

"From the moment I saw your face…lalalalala…I realized you were beautiful…"

Sendoh didn't mind it at first, it was morning, he's not in his fully awake state. But, naughty little Hikoichi went his way beside his target and continued to sing…

"From the time your shoulders touched mine, that first ever time your body got close to mine, I realized that I'm falling for you~uu!"

Splaaaaasssshhh. And the screaming voices of two men echoed the entire neighborhood. Sendoh splashed the coffee he was currently drinking in the face of Hikoichi, and at the same time spilled coffee in his pants.

Speechless. Cold. Motionless. Shocked…and still shocked were the features of Sendoh Akira…

"How in the world…?!" Said the electrocuted features of Sendoh Akira.

And all he got was a smirk from Hikoichi and his best friend Koshino…
