Here Is My Heart

Faith: This is going to be a series of drabbles about unrequited love, all pairings. Maybe some will end happily… I'm going to try to make them all under 300 words.

The Foolish Traveler


Tohru Honda…it's hard to believe that just a couple years ago, she was just another person in my class. It's hard to remember a time when I wasn't in love with her. Her life has been so hard, but she still finds the spirit to smile and laugh…to live. That's more than I can ever say…I don't know what I'd do if Tohru were to suddenly disappear…knowing that she would never come back, that I would never see her smile again…

"…Yuki-kun?" I raised my eyes to hers, worry evident in her eyes. It wasn't often that I stared off into the distance, asleep to the world. I smiled for her and she relaxed.

"I'm fine, Honda-san. I was just…thinking." She tilted her head, blinking her huge blue eyes at me.

"Thinking? What were you thinking about?" she asked, smiling. I shook my head, fighting down a blush and what I really wanted to say:

'You.'

"Oh, just…things, Honda-san, nothing important."

'How much I love you.'

"Oh? What kind of things?"

'How much I've grown as a person since I met you, Tohru…'

"Well…just…things that are happening at the main house, is all."

'I wish I could tell you, Tohru…'

"Oh…I see…"

'…How I feel about you…'

"Like I said, it's nothing important."

'…How I've felt for a long time…'

"Allright, Yuki-kun." She walked away.

"…I love you…Tohru…"


Faith: So ends Drabble One. Leave me a review…because you love me.
