Author's Note: I happened to notice very few Junpei fics. I don¡¦t really support Junzumi but I think this one will be okay. I really hope you like it. (Flame me... go ahead. But don't burn me to a crisp ^-^;)

(okay. I admit, Junpei is my least favorite character in all of frontiers but I shall try to restrain myself from even the slightest thing that will make him look bad.)

Izumi. The name was the sugar on a cookie. The first flake of snow. The first bud of spring. The light of his soul. Izumi Orimoto.

He gazed at the setting sun that pasteled the quiet atmosphere. The usually bright glare of then sun was muffled and the rays were orangy and mellow. The clouds were shadowed with a soft velvety violet. Her favorite color.

She had been going out with that Kouji Minamoto lately. Many at school had said that they made a good pair. They seemed happy together. They loved each other. Junpei could see that. But he loved her too. More than anyone else could. But she was happy with who she was. She didn¡¦t need him to intrude in their relationship.

He closed his eyes.

*flashback* In the Pizza Parlor
"I can't wait until the snow starts falling!" the aqua-eyed girl gave the humorless boy stunning smile. Her broke through the stillness of the air, ringing loudly like bells. She closed her eyes, and twirled around letting her light blond hair flow softly around her. She and glanced at him, Kouji, her cheeks slightly red.

"Christmas is just next week! Want to come and look for some gifts and decorations with me?" Without waiting for an answer, she pulled him out of the pizza parlor.
**end of flashback**

He had seen them together. So cheery. Even Kouji, who usually was a hard head, had seemed caring and didn¡¦t complain to any of her sudden outbursts and activeness.

¡§There¡¦s one thing I know,¡¨ Junpei thought to himself, solemnly. ¡§Izumi. I know you love him and you two are happy together...But I will love you even after the day I die. Even if you don¡¦t return my love, my feelings for you cannot be changed. I think of you every day. You¡¦re in my prayers, dreams and heart. You are the butter of my soul.. the beat of my heart.. my inspiration. My purpose of life. I promise you that I shall cherish you for eternity.¡¨
