Momoshiro's Past Love
Chapter 1: My First Friend
A boy with short black spiky hair and has obsidian eyes who's at the age of 16 is walking his way thru the park. He is wearing a Seigaku High School uniform with white rubber shoes. Once at the park, he saw a playground with a fountain in the middle of it. He looked around and smiled as he saw that the swings were unoccupied. Grinning sheepishly, he made his way to a swing and sat down. He held the chains and started rocking back and forth. He smiled and said…
"I feel like such a little kid again… chuckle but I'm not a kid anymore… I'm already a teenager and yet I don't act like one."
He sighed and then look up at the blue sky which has a tinge of orange for the sun is already disappearing and in no time the moon will replace the sun in the sky with the stars accompanying it.
"The sky is so beautiful… especially now since the sun is setting. The sunset… Today reminds me of that time… the day I met him…"
Flashback…
The sun was already setting. Petals of cherry blossoms dance in the wind. A boy with black spiky hair about the age of 6 was sitting alone on a swing in the park. He is wearing a white shirt with matching white shorts and white rubber shoes. He was watching children his age playing with each other. He look at them sadly and thought…
'I wish I could play with them… They all look so happy… I wonder… How would one feel if they're surrounded by friends?'
He felt so lonely inside. He never had friends before. No one would come play with him. Boys his age sometimes bully him. They say he's too timid and shy like a girl.
Flashback… (2 years before he turned 6)
A group of boys were playing tag at the park. A boy about 4 years old was watching from afar. Gathering his courage, he walk towards the group of boys playing tag.
"Ano…"
The boys look at him and he couldn't help but blush. One of the boys, ask…
"Nani? Do you what something?"
He nodded and ask…
"Can I play with you?"
The boys look at each other and grin then look back at him.
"Can you play tag?"
"Yes, I think I can."
One of the boys raise an eyebrow at him.
"You think?"
He nodded and said…
"I don't know how to play tag."
The boys blink and stared at him. Feeling uncomfortable, he ask if something was wrong. The boys then burst out laughing. Confused he ask…
"Did I do something wrong?"
The guys gave him another look and once again started laughing. One of the boys said…
"You've never played tag before? Everyone knows how to play."
"You're weird! What are you a girl?"
"Maybe you're just staying inside your house playing dolls!"
With that last statement the group once again erupted in a fit of laughter. He blushed in embarrassment. One of the boys notice and said…
"Look guys! He's blushing!"
"Just like a girl!"
"Why don't you just go home!"
"Sorry but boys like us don't play with a weakling!"
Hurt and broken he ran away, tears falling from those beautiful obsidian eyes.
End of Flashback…
Just remembering about that bring tears to his eyes and was threatening to fall but he willed them back. He heard them laughing and talking good-naturedly and felt his heart aching. He then averted his gaze from the children to the ground. Suddenly a shadow hover above him. He then look up to see a boy much older than him by 2 years or so. The boy has short brown hair and has dark-brown eyes. He is wearing a blue shirt and black shorts with white rubber shoes. The boy was staring at him with a smile gracing his lips.
"Hi there! I'm Aoyama Takumi! What's your name?" The boy with brown hair ask.
"Uhm… I uhm… I'm Momoshiro. Momoshiro Takeshi. Ni-nice to meet you." The boy with black hair reply shyly.
"Nice to meet you too! Ne, Why are you alone? Where are your friends?" The boy now named as Takumi ask as he took a seat on the swing beside him.
"I'm always alone. I don't have friends. They say I'm too timid and shy like a girl so…" Takeshi trailed off looking away.
Takumi frowned at the reply and felt his heart ache as he saw the forlorn look that adored the features of the younger boy.
'I can see that he had a hard time. Someone so pure and innocent shouldn't be treated this way. I know! I'll be his friend!'
He took the younger boy's hand into his own. He saw Takeshi's surprise look and notice a faint blush adorning his cheeks. He then smiled and said…
"I'll be your friend. I'll stay with you always. Would you like to be friends?"
The tears the younger boy had been holding was now flowing freely down his cheeks. He then began to sob.
"Eh? What wrong? Did I say something to make you upset?" Takumi ask worriedly.
Takeshi shook his head and look at the older boy.
"You didn't do anything wrong. I-it's just I never had any friend so…"
He then hug the older boy and whispered…
"Arigatou… Hontou ni Arigatou…"
Takumi smiled and hug the younger boy back.
'Such a cute kid! I won't let anyone hurt you. I'll protect you no matter what.'
He then patted the younger boy's head…
"Since we're friends now we should call each other by our first name. I'll call you Ta-chan and you can call me Taku-kun."
Takeshi nodded and ask…
"Demo, why Ta-chan not Ta-kun?"
"Because Ta-chan sounds kawaii and you look so kawaii when you smile. Don't cry anymore. I hate seeing you in pain."
Takeshi blushed and then offered a genuine smile to the older boy.
'I won't cry anymore because now you're here.'
End of Flashback…
The 16 year old teen close his eyes and continued to rock himself back and forth slowly. A fond smile is gracing his lips and a contented look on his face. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the sky glowing as the sun continue to set. Soon enough, the moon will come and light the night sky and the stars will shine captivating its audience with its beauty.
The park is already deserted. No one is no longer there except for him. He's alone yet he doesn't seem to mind. The breeze that past by him was refreshing and it ruffled his hair lightly. The silence was comforting and he love every minute of it. He begun to hum a song and when he close his eyes, he saw an image of a brown-haired teen with dark-brown eyes.
'Wherever you are right now… my heart would always be yours. My dreams would always be of you and no one else. My first friend, my best friend and the love of my life.'
If someone would watch the scene afar they'll think that it's as if they're looking at a painting for it seems as if it was captured in a canvas. But if one would be near, then they'll see how real the scene is. For there was a teenage boy swinging himself slowly and a faint hum could be heard. The teen look so ethereal as his black hair was being played by the wind and the orange hue in the sky as the background is perfect. The teen has a serene look on his face but his eyes has a far away look in them as if he's reminiscing and remembering a certain memory in the past. Indeed, it was a beautiful sight and to anyone who have seen it, the scene would always stay in there hearts. The mind may forget but the heart wouldn't.
Author's Note: Hi there! This is Chapter 1! Again, "Happy Valentine's Day!" I'm sure you guys probably know who the teen is! By the way, Takumi is my OC! He's Momo's childhood friend and first love. The flashback was on how they met each other. There will be more flashbacks so please bear with me. There might be more OC as well but they'll just play the role of being Momo's fanboys and some will be his old time friends in grade school and it will be through them that the Ex-regulars and Ryoma would find out about Momo's fanboys and his past love. Boy's love would be in the next chapters. The others age will be revealed in the next chapter.
