When I was little, I met a girl. She had the prettiest hair and the sweetest laugh. All the guys in my class loved her.
But destiny plays cruel… as young children we believe only in the stuff we can see, while a person can be completely different, but we would never know…
One day she came to school with a baseball cap on. When the teacher made her take it off, she burst into tears and ran out the room.
Everyone knew… for as she ran… her cap fell and unlike before, no beautiful blond hair fluttered in her wake.
Two months later, I went to my first funeral… hers.
I learned what adoration is.
It wasn't till years later, I met Anzu. She had a fiery personality, smart and dedicated. Anzu had a dream, more than I could ever hope for. I longed to woo her.
I learned what obsession is.
But as time past… and the last piece of the Sennen Puzzle slipped into place… I met him… Atemu, my other self.
He was everything I was not, and everything I hoped to become. He was so different, and slowly Anzu's face slipped from my heart.
He called me his aibou, and I called him my other. As time passed, my heart pulled towards him.
Especially at night, in stormy weather we would curl up together under a blanket. He would ignite a burning flame with his dark magic that mirrored the fire burning in my heart. And he would lull me to sleep… with his strong baritone voice. He would woe me with kisses and drenched me with words of comfort.
And slowly… I began to fall, and I began to believe in eternity...
But good must come to an end. Now… all I have left are memories. Maybe I have watched too many western movies where the lovers believe themselves to be one. But… now… when the weather turns cold… I sigh and smile.
I know what love is.
Just as I know… Atemu-kun is my heart song…my lover, and I can never have another…
