Diamonds in The Sky

She lay on the cushion of green that surrounded her. If she could shut out the sounds of the cars driving past her house, she could pretend that she was in the middle of a field. When she looked up at the deep vast blueness that was the sky, she could not see even one star. Lying down in the middle of her small garden, even when living on the outskirts, the city's skyscrapers shone too brightly to be able to see stars.

For all of Shibuya's glamour, it could not hold the most precious gems.

He would be able to see them. He was currently in Hokkaidou - their school had an extra week on their trip. She wished she could have gone with him. School trips were the best places to make memories. Maybe if she was lucky, they would end up going to the same high school; they could spend their school trips together.

She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. It was funny how she missed him, even if it was only a week since she last saw him. Perhaps she just appreciated time more - a week could mean the whole world.

She pictured him in her mind. The mess of hair that defied gravity and she believed could not possibly be his natural hair colour; the non-committal shrug he gave whenever she asked if it was. That smile that she knew he reserved only for her. The quiet way he would show his affection; taking her hand without a word and offering no reason or explanation. It was still hard to read him sometimes, although he was more open to people now. They weren't exactly a couple but she sensed that he might think of her as something more than a friend. She hadn't sorted out her own feelings yet either, so she was content with how things were now.

The peaceful silence was broken by the buzz of her phone. Sighing, then with much effort, she brought it in front of her face and flipped it open. A bubble of warmth grew within her as she read his message. This was exactly the kind of thing that made her feel a bit hopeful.

If his star-filled sky, shining with its beauty, reminded him of her...

She sent him a reply and looked back up at the sky, a small smile on her face.

…then Shibuya's sky reminded her of him. It may look empty to anyone who looks at it, but beyond that blanket of blue were countless diamonds, just waiting to be discovered.


One Sky. One Destiny.

A/N: ...I felt like quoting Kingdom Hearts, alright? xD Anyway, I was trying to work on my descriptions a bit more because a lot of my writing in general depends on my dialogue. It's, of course, not perfect but I quite like how it turned out. Oh and I know in animes characters have whacky hair colours but since the game environment seems to want to be more real I think it's safe to bet Neku dyed his hair (most Japanese people do, nowadays). Eri's hair is most definitely dyed - unless one of her parents was an alien (psh, totally not being cracky there).

Anyway - I wonder if everyone has heard about TWEWY Live Remix. I'm excited for some new art :3 If you don't know what Live Remix is google it 8D It's not a sequel but it still another thing.

Reviews are appreciated - I'd like to know how I did~
