Somewhere In My Sleep

A/N: It's pretty short. I made this fic while listening to one of Ricky Martin's albums. The one with 'Vuelve' in it. Most of the tracks are pretty solemn but beautiful.

Warnings: Shounen Ai, yaoi.. whatever. :)

How does it feel like to love somebody with all your heart, knowing that that somebody would never love you in return..

I wouldn't know. I have never tried to say anything to Sendoh before. Some may say that I have a 50-50 chance since I'm not really sure how he's going to take the fact that I, Koshino Hiroaki, his long time best friend, am head over heels in love with him.

However, that is a chance I am not willing to risk.

Between an uncertain future and what I have now, I would rather choose the latter. It doesn't really matter if I keep my feelings to myself, just as long as I can still be with him. I don't think I'll be able to take it if he shuns me away.

As long as I keep my mouth shut, nobody will ever figure out my secret. It's not like I give him lovey-dovey eyes. On the contrary, I am more like a mother hen to him. People see me losing my temper at him, scolding him about this and that..

You may ask how I manage to live every day of my life being close to him without doing anything.. without giving myself away.

The answer is pretty easy.

Somewhere in my sleep is a place where we could be together.

I am a free person in that realm. It is where I could hug him, kiss him, cuddle him..

Somewhere in my sleep, I could express the emotions that run inside me. All the love that I've been keeping inside would be shown to him..

And somewhere in my sleep, he would lovingly return the affections I give him.

Somewhere in my sleep, Sendoh Akira loves me.
