Another speculative-sounding one. This one's for all you Hatori fans out there - but a special heads up to fellow winglica rper and author, UnspokenDreams. Yeah, dude, it's Entity. XD
Disclaimer: If you claim it is mine... then in "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar" fashion, I pass on the blame to YOU. Good luck with the angry mobs! XD
Powerful Words
-
3. Please
The word that denotes politeness is never so powerful as it is when it is uttered by a woman to her beloved. The Souma Clan doctor knew this better than anyone else.
"Tell me… please?" she asked him gently as she helped him dry off his hair. So he told her about the curse, his zodiac, and (reddening as he did so) his form – relating what a burden it would be and that it would be better if she stayed away.
She wouldn't hear of it. Oh no. She didn't care. Besides, his form was the cutest thing in the world (he all but cringed under her grasp as she said this) so why should she have anything to fear?
She… really… liked… him. Did he believe her? Please say he believed her.
He smiled to himself, and said that he did.
There were many happy pleases after than – and many more moments in between – but as all fairy tales in reality are bound to end, so did their little romance fall apart.
"Please… I can't take it anymore…"Her mind, sick with grief, had to be saved; so the gentleman saved his lady at his own expense, and watched from a distance as she built herself a new life.
But that word was not forever ruined for him. It wasn't, because there was someone else to utter it.
"Ugh. It's too high. Can you put this book back, Hatori-kun? Pretty please?"
Five years. She has cut her hair, and he thinks it looks good on her.
"Sure, Mayu… Sure."
