Chapter 3- Coincidence
I don't own anything.
HakuxChihiro forever!
Only if you get it~
Misaki's POV-
When we got to the Statue of Liberty, Usagi asked if we could go up into the torch. I agreed, so we headed over to it. I could see all of New York from the window in the elevator.
"Wow, Usagi-san, there are so many tall buildings! Amazing!"
"Yeah, skyscrapers and such. They build a lot of those in America."
"That's so cool!"
I felt so...happy. I always feel happy when I'm with Usagi, but I was ecstatic. Then I remembered once again.
Hahaha...we're definitely getting married…
We finally get to stay with each other, forever. It will be impossible for our relationship to break off, or for me to move away as easily as it could have before. Usagi will trust me more. I will love him, unconditionally. I love him.
We walked over to the floor of the torch, and looked at the horizon. Maybe if I looked hard enough, I would see Usagi and I. We are as unending as the horizon. Our love will go on until the end of existence, and the beginning of nothingness.
I felt familiar arms wrap around me, and I couldn't help but smile. Usagi turned me around, and I saw that he was wearing a smile as well. It was soft, like the blankets on our bed, fresh from the wash. He kissed me once, then pulled away. That was enough for now.
Next we drove off into the heart of New York City, stopping at some local store areas. There were, of course, souvenir shops. So, Usagi bought a new bear.
"Usagi-san, you already have so many bears!"
"One cannot simply have enough bears, Misaki. It's an investment."
"...Right."
I bought a planner, so I could be more organized. I always go for sensible with these kinds of things. Near that shop, we found a movie theater. They were playing "Spirited Away," so we went in. Usagi and I shared a large popcorn and drink with two straws. We sat up in the balcony, for a better view. I found myself crying at the end of the movie.
"That was...so sad…"
"Yeah, it was, wasn't it?"
We walked out of the movie theater, me still trying to stop my tears. Usagi held my hand, and led me into an alleyway. He looked so calm, so collected as he kissed me.
"It's all better now, Misaki."
"Y-Yeah."
We walked out, still hand-in-hand. Next we headed over to the Central Park, the picnic I made in the back of Usagi's car. I saw many buildings pass by as I thought about memories of the movie. The ending...it just didn't seem right. Unfinished, even.
They should make a sequel...that was such a masterpiece…
Before I knew it, we arrived at the park. The grass seemed to stretch out for a long time. There was an expanse, near a really big tree. I liked the look of it, so I told Usagi.
"Usagi-san!"
"What is it, Misaki?
"Let's sit over there!"
"Okay."
We walked over, and sat down on the grass. I laid down the blanket, and noticed that there were a few flowers around us. No, not only a few. There were different assortments of lilies, daffodils, even the odd rose. Usagi picked one of the roses off of a near bush.
"Misaki."
"Yes?"
He moved the tip of the rose to my chin. I felt his lips through the silky petals as he kissed me. I eyes stayed open wide as his closed.
"Ow...!"
One of the thorns pricked me. Usagi picked up my hand, and flicked his tongue across the cut. My face flushed a terrible crimson, just as the rose. Just as our love. It was forbidden, and something to be cherished. It was as pure as the dewdrops' design on the rose's petals, as innocent as the honest growth of the heart. Only infatuation can cleanse me of corruption.
He backed away, and stared at me. It felt like he could see right through me, as if I was transparent. My emotions can only shine through to him.
I took the food in the picnic basket, and started to set it out. Once it was out, I started to eat. I looked at Usagi, and saw that he was also eating the lunch I made.
"Mm...but…"
"Hm?"
"Misaki tastes so much better."
I didn't respond. i just looked at him with a look of slight annoyance. He chuckled.
Whatever.
"HEY, MISAKI!"
Huh? Wait…
Usagi said, "Ah, Takahiro! What are you doing here?"
Nii-chan?!
I looked up. Sure enough, Nii-chan was standing there looking surprised himself.
"I came here with Manami and Mahiro, for a vacation."
"I had a few conferences." Usagi replied.
"Then...why is Misaki with you? Is your condo being taken care of?"
"Yes, I decided to bring him with me, because he's never been to America before."
"Yeah, I guess that makes sense."
Nii-chan. I'm sorry...but we DO need to tell you sometime...I had completely forgotten. Usagi-san and I...are…
"Well, I should be going. Manami is waiting for me."
"Yes, of course."
I spoke. "Um...Usagi-san…"
He sighed. "I know. We have to tell him soon."
Before I knew it, the rest of our food had disappeared. I put all the utensils back into the basket and rolled up the blanket.
"Let's go back...Misaki."
"Okay."
A/N: I love roses~!
