Prettyinpinkgal: A little ficcy in Eichi's POV. Enjoy! I don't have the episode on my computer for some episodes, so this is entirely by memory. So gomen for any mistakes!

Disclaimer: This is based on the anime, but it still was acquired from Tanemura Arina-san. I do not own it.

EIEN NO YUKI

I still remember the first time I saw you.

With your brown hair in pigtails, you were sitting on the ground at the park, writing in the sand. I noticed that you looked happy, but in a way, had a sort of sadness about you. Whatever you had been creating was destroyed, as a ball bounced onto your creation. The happiness left your face, and the sadness engulfed you. I wanted to make you smile again, so I walked over to play with you.

As we were walking down the road, you depressed again. I glanced over at you and I saw your name was Kouyama Mitsuki. "I'm Sakurai Eichi," I said with a smile. You smiled too, making me happy also. Ever since, I adored your smile.

When we arrived at the orphanage, we both ran inside, full of smiles and laughter. We were inseparable. No one in the orphanage could see you without me or me without you. And I was glad.

You started smiling more, and acting truly happy. I loved-and still love-your pure heart and your enthusiasm over small things. And your love of singing--I loved your beautiful voice and how you let your feelings out when you sang. I was so certain nothing would change.

But things did.

On a winter's night, right before the Christmas party, we stood outside. I wanted us to be together forever. But a few days ago, I realized one day we might have to part. I also discovered my feelings for you. I loved you. More than the love an older brother has for his younger sister; no, it was true love. I hugged you tightly, telling you this. But you seemed so scared. When we went back inside, I glanced at you right before Sensei took a picture of all the kids. But you turned red and looked away. I thought my heart had stopped.

As the snow fell, I wanted it to bury my feelings for you. Any love I felt I believed would disappear over time. But instead, they grew stronger.

Then, I found out I had to leave. I never got a chance to talk to you until that day when I was about to leave for America. Everyone else was cheering me on...everyone but you. You stood in the corner, sobbing inconsolably. I made a promise to you: You would become a singer, and I'd be an astronomer. Mitsuki, I was so sure we were going to meet again. And I was so sure you'd become a singer.

A year later, I was driving with my parents to go get something to eat. I decided I would gather my courage and call you at the orphanage when we arrived at the restaurant. Before I knew it, I saw a huge car heading for us. The next thing I saw was a cloudless sky. And I was soaring right up towards it.

I've seen you grow up, Mitsuki. I'm so happy you didn't forget me, and even loved me back. But I wanted so much to be able to tell you I was gone--that you were trying for nothing. That you wouldn't see me until you died. I was glad when I saw you become a singer--and it was for me.

Even here in heaven, the snow sometimes falls. It drifts down lightly, silently, as if it had all the time in the world. I remember when I wanted to get rid of my feelings for you. But now, I don't want that. I love you with all my soul, Kouyama Mitsuki. Even the falling snow cannot hide my feelings for you. It may bury my body, but the feelings are something that will never die. Even under...

Eien no Yuki
