Title: Autumn Winds
Author: Archangel
Genre: Angst/Drama
Pairing: SenRu with some deviations…
Drama: Actually, this fic is a dream of mine since I always wanted to make a fic that is ala Deep Purple wherein there is full of substance about the SenRu relationship. I just hope that this fic would turn out that way and be a doujinshi too… ok that's kinda out of line. Don't take me seriously, ne?
Storyline: Take note, Sendoh and Rukawa does not know each other here. The majority of this fic was taken in the timeline of episode 13, when Sendoh and Rukawa first met in the practice game and so the story goes on from there. So technically, they don't know each other and is still in the process of finding love in their own respective ways. Clear enough? Okay…
Copyright: Autumn Winds is Aki-chan's e-mail address and in the process of thinking of a title for this, I came a cross it and realized that I heard Autumn Wind somewhere then whalla, I remembered Aki-chan.
Warning/s: It's a multi-POV fic so just be cautious of the switch in POV's.
Autumn Winds
Prologue, Reflections
by Archangel
Sendoh's POV
It's raining hard.
Raindrops fall simultaneously...
Falling continuously...
It's deafening.
It's raining hard.
I looked outside my window...
I saw an image...
My reflection.
My eyes...
My face...
My tears...
No smiles.
I closed my eyes hoping to close all the sorrow…
But what's the point?
Closing my eyes won't bring him back.
Were you ever there anyway?
Rukawa's POV
It's raining hard.
The ceiling was ultimately white, flawless and plain.
The wind was cold.
There was no one to hold me.
I looked at my open window, raindrops wetting my floor.
I got up...
Saw an image...
Saw my reflection.
My deadpan face...
My cold stare...
Nothing's change.
I never liked smiling…
Neither did I like to go through agony.
I was satisfied with my expressionless face.
I never dreamt being immensely happy…
And never did I see myself crying…
But tonight, as I looked upon that mirror,
I saw a man who would've died weeping…
Yes, something's changed…
And something's missing…
Something's wrong.
I guess we're not meant to be together after all.
