Hello! I want to thank NozoGartenEli for the suggestion with maybe an NozoEli argument. This is what I came up with! This is also by the song below! I know this is Maki center song— but whatevs
magiclapras: Oh, poor Eli. Although I'd like to see a chapter with Eli turning the tables and making Nozomi a blushing mess.
A/N: Someday lol ~
Guest: So cute~ Nozoeli is the definition of cuteness. Great work, author-san.
A/N: NozoEli is OTP ~! Thank you!
Sakkaku CROSSROADS (錯覚CROSSROADS lit. Illusionary Crossroads) — BiBi
Yes, I know this a damn BiBi song but it's gonna be mostly by Nozomi's part.
When I saw you at the crossroads, that's when I knew I was a fool. That's when I knew I lost my love— No, long before that. I just kept believing an illusion.
I thought I knew you better than anyone else
But was it just an illusion? I lost my love...
"Elicchi...P-Please..."
"Sorry. There's nothing to talk about."
There's a reason that we met
One day you said that, didn't you?
I nodded as you looked me in the eyes
Our futures becoming separate was impossible
"Hehe! Hello! My name is Nozomi Toujo! What's yours?"
"H-Huh? What?"
"Cmon' tell me your name!"
"U-Uh, Eli...E-Eli Ayase."
If we return (But to where?) Where would we return to?
All the times our feelings passed each other by, I don't understand
"Forgive me...I'm so sorry."
"We cant."
More than your words, I believed in the heat of your fingers as you touched me, but
Why did you say farewell in such a cold voice...?
I thought I knew you better than anyone else
But was it just an illusion?
That's right... I'm a fool...
"Can you please say it one more time...? Even if it's delusional..."
"Don't be a fool Toujo. You're just hurting yourself."
We always liked the same things
Was that just a coincidence?
It's too late, you're this dear to me
Your heart's separated from mine, and I can't reach it, but
"Elicchi! Let's get parfaits!"
"B-But I have classes right now..."
"Don't be such a downer! Skip it! You're smart!"
"H-Hey! I didn't say yes yet!"
"You said yet!"
Embrace me (your scent) in this familiar fragrance
I want to stay immersed, as my tears quietly fall
"Nozomi! Jeez! I can't believe you did that!"
"O-Ouchie...That stings..."
"Obviously! Who the heck does a flip on the stairs!"
Even right before my eyes, you're distant from me
Why can you smile so peacefully...?
I thought you'd never change
But when the illusion ended, I lost my love...
"Please..."
"I can't."
Talking to you normally is too painful
I'm like this, (strength) I don't have, please understand
Even right before my eyes, you're distant from me
"This is it then...?"
"If you think of it that way. Yes."
"Our friendship too...?"
"It's ruined, Toujo."
More than your words, I believed in the heat of your fingers as you touched me, but
Why did you say farewell in such a cold voice...?
I thought I knew you better than anyone else
But was it just an illusion?
That's right... I want to go back... to how we were that day...
"Can you please just grant my request...?"
"I said no. It'll just hurt you."
"I don't care. Even if it's a white lie...It'd make myself better..."
"..."
"Please."
.
.
.
"I love you."
And in a blink, the back of her ex-friend disappeared through the crowd and streetlights of the crossroad.
"I love you too..."
I'm sorry if this isn't the argument you were expecting! It's just i thought of Sakkaku Crossroads when I hear NozoEli angst or the doujin, Mask of Smiles — PiPi (Instantly cried, much worthy than this crappy fanfic D:)
