Chpt.3-Blvd. of Broken Dreams
It was just another normal afternoon, and as usual Ryou watched Masaya drop off Ichigo, from yet another date, which once again took out some of Ryou's hope for ever finding love.
I walk a lonely road
The only road that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
"I'm going out for a while Keiichiro!" Ryou shouted from the door and walked out to the beach, daydreaming of how his life would be like if Ichigo was with him instead of Masaya.
I walk a lonely street
On the Blvd. of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one
And I walk alone
"What does he have that I don't have, what does she even see in him?" Ryou said under his breath as he stared out at the blue waves of the ocean then he looked at everyone on the beach and saw that they were either with their kids, boyfriend and girlfriend, or husband and wife, which made Ryou lose even more hope and feel alone.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
'I can't take this, everywhere I go, I see a couple, and a couple with their kids...I guess I was only meant to suffer,' Ryou thought as he walked through downtown and passing by shops that held couples and families inside of them then the couple that he dreaded the most walked in front of him
"Ryou, what are you doing here!" Ichigo yelled to him as she held Masaya's hand
"Since when is it any of your business? I have to go, I'll see you later," Ryou said walking past them trying hard to not glare or hiss at Masaya.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline of the edge and
where I stand and where I walk alone
"What were you doing at downtown when I was on my date with Masaya!" Ichigo asked Ryou a couple of hours later at Cafe' Mew Mew
"I told you it's none of your business, so just leave me alone," Ryou said walking to the stairway that leads to his room but Ichigo grabbed his arm
"No, I'm just wondering if you're stalking me, this isn't the first time we've bumped into each other on my dates with Masaya, so tell me, are you a stalker?" Ichigo asked Ryou while crossing her arms
"No, I just came back from the beach and decided to take a walk around downtown, so are you happy now, do you now know that I have always and always will walk alone!" Ryou said then he ran up the stairs and slammed the door of his room and locking it when it was closed
'I don't want anyone to try and say crap that'll never comfort me the way she would,' Ryou thought as he took off his clothes and climbed into the bathtub to take a long hot shower.
Read between the lines
Of what's fked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
"Ryou, can I come in? It's Ichigo," Ichigo asked an hour later while knocking on Ryou's bedroom door so Ryou quickly put on a shirt and opened the door
"What do you need Ichigo?" Ryou asked a little annoyed since Ichigo just disrupted his peace
"I came to apologize about what I said earlier, you know about saying that you were a stalker, can you forgive me?" Ichigo asked with a pleading sorrowful look in her eyes so Ryou had no choice but to give into her look and say that he'll forgive you
"How can anybody not forgive you...is that all you needed?" Ryou asked
"Yeah, but I still feel bad, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" Ichigo asked with a look of guilt on her face so not knowing what he was doing he made his lips touch Ichigo's lips and bought her into a kiss.
'What the heck is he doing, and why am I not pushing him away, what's happening to me?' Ichigo thought wrapping her arms around Ryou's neck, deepening it.
I walk this lonely street
On the Blvd. of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one
And I walk alone
A few minutes later they broke Ichigo's arms still around his neck "I love you Ichigo, but I know you're with Masaya, and I shouldn't even be doing this to you," Ryou said taking Ichigo's arms off of him
"I know...but...never mind...uh I should be going home...it's getting really late," Ichigo said as Ryou nodded then he watched her walk down the stairs so he walked back inside of his room and laid on the bed, drifting off to a deep sleep with thoughts of what he just did to Ichigo on his mind.
My shadow's the only one that walks besides me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
I walk alone I walk a...
"Ichigo about last night I'm sorry, I saw my advantage and took it," Ryou apologized to Ichigo the next day when they were alone
"It's okay...but...what I started to say last night was...that Masaya dumped me...an hour after you left he said that he can't hang out with someone who's always hanging around her boss, so what you did last night wasn't too bad...but...what I don't get is why you kissed me last night?" Ichigo asked looking into Ryou's blue eyes
"I did it because I've been waiting for a long time to finally have the chance to kiss you, and if I could do it again, I would," Ryou said then Ichigo wrapped her arms around Ryou's neck and bought him into a kiss, not wanting to let go, and Ryou never wanted it to stop, knowing that he finally found his love even though he almost lost hope of ever finding true love.
THE END
A/N:Well there's the chapter and I'm sorry that it took me a while to update, but it's just that I've been on writer's block for this fanfiction and not to mention I had finals. Anyway, the next chapter will be the songfic, Because You Live, and I'm sorry if the lyrics aren't really right for Blvd. of Broken Dreams but I had to try to remember them from memory, review please. Adios!
