Prologue

"Fwaah! I'm late for work!" I quickly grabbed my bags and toast and scurried out of the house.

My name is Karamatsu Matsuno, 20 years old. Today is my first day on the job.

On the way to work I couldn't stop thinking how great it was to finally get a well paying job. I looked forward to making bouquets for the flower shop down the street. As I crossed the road to the other side, a small breeze flew my way. It swept up my emotions, and could have sworn I saw a flash of blue. Electric. Fleeting. I could have also sworn it winked at me. And that was the day my life changed forever.

The day I saw Him.

Chapter 1: Everything is blue

Dear Diary,

My first day on the job went great. There was no trouble, and the owner even let me take home a few of my creations. As I left the building the sun was setting beautifully behind me. I could get used to leaving work at sunset. Things might actually workout this time. I smiled at the thought, which is weird ;I've rarely been happy ever since... that happened.

As I was making my way home though, I had the strangest feeling that I was being watched. I instinctively turn to my left. No one. Then, my right. Empty as well. No, there was something definitely there.

A flash of blue.

I heard a faint whisper being carried off into the wind. "You're too slow~"

The grip on my flower bouquet increased, and I froze in my place. "Who's there?" I ask, trying to seem as brave as possible. Then, I felt something-someone, blow air onto my neck. Suddenly irritated, I turn around to give whoever it was a piece of my mind...

Only to come face-to-face with the most gorgeous creature I've ever laid eyes on. I had to take off my sunglasses to get a better look at him. He was about my height, maybe a bit shorter, stunning emerald green eyes, and his body was colored a royal blue and covered in- fur? He had a strong muscular build, despite his size, and he seemed to have no clothes on despite his gloves and shoes. He was leaning on the light post next to me and had a mischievous smirk on his face that made me uneasy. "Hey, I'm Sonic."

Sonic. His name was Sonic.

He waited for my reply, but my mouth is glued shut.
The sky is turning a wonderful shade of lavender.

"I-I-I'm Karamatsu." I blurt out ungracefully. Embarrassed by my inability to speak, I turn three different shades of red.

Red and blue. Just like the sky.

He chuckles at my nervousness, "There's no need to be shy, I don't bite." Sonic winked at me.

Oh, but I wish he did.

There was silence after his comment, I was struggling to find ways that I could flirt with him.

Nothing came. But he didn't look bothered by it. He was just staring at me. Looking me up and down. Whether I should have been offended or flattered I had no idea.

I had to do something fast.

"It's nice to meet you S-Sonic. Um, here! Take this!" Without thinking, I handed him the bouquet of flowers I had planned to take home. Nice.

He seemed shocked by the action, and I thought I saw him blush a light shade of pink.

"Thanks, man. Well, I better go. There's still places to explore, and races to win," He said as he stood up and stretched.

I didn't want him to go. "Will I ever see you again?" I asked in a hurry.

"Don't worry, I have to make up for the flowers you gave me. I hope to see you again soon, Karamatsu."

And just like that, he took off, leaving only a gust of wind behind him.

All the air I had contained inside me was suddenly released in a heavy sigh.

His name was Sonic.

My heart was beating so fast I could barely contain it.

what's wrong with me? Could it be possible that he is...

My one true love?

Until next time,

Karamatsu

I slowly closed my diary as I checked what I had written. A total of three pages. Today had been an interesting day.

I creeped into the covers of my bed and turned off my light.

Silence.

It's hard to get used to living in an empty house. It was 2 am and I still couldn't get any sleep. I thought about Sonic again, how he looked at me. "I hope to see you again soon, Karamatsu"

His words played over and over in my head.

And without even realizing it, I fell asleep.
