Warning: Violence, angst and maybe death.
Chapter 2- To Let Go
(Shuichi's POV)
Here I am right now at the park where I first met Yuki. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. That faithful day when destiny blew my lyrics and was found by Yuki. That day when Yuki criticized my work. I thought it was anger that drove me into finding him. But I was so wrong. It was love at first sight.
It was almost midnight when I decided to head back but I saw a figure out of the darkness. A figure I know very well. A figure which I loved the most. Golden hair, straw-colored eyes. I am so nervous. My God, it has been five years since I saw those gorgeous eyes. Five years since I last saw the person I loved the most. He was deep in thought so he didn't see me immediately. Well, here goes nothing.
"Yu… Yuki?"
"Shu… Shuichi!" He winded.
"Hey Yuki, how's it going?" I was so freakin' nervous that I wish I would faint right at this moment.
He stood up from where he sat and turned his back towards me and started to walk away.
"Yuki! Please, can't we talk just for a moment?"
He looked back at me with those piercing eyes of his and breathed, "What's the point of talking brat?"
"Please, at least hear me out and let me explain my side."
He continued to stare at me with those eyes and all of a sudden he smiled and sat down. I sat down next to him but not that close because of this nervous feeling that eats me up.
"So, what do you want to talk about, brat?" He said.
"Why do you still call me that?" I asked folding my arms.
"What, you don't like the name I call you?" He smirked.
"It's just that, it's a bit insulting on my part, that's all."
He continued to smirk. I love it when he does that. That's one of the things I love about him.
"Whatever you say moron." He chuckled.
Some sort of window to your
right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of
fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
"So, how's it going after all these years?"
"Well, nothing much except that I'm getting married in 2 months." He said while looking down.
Pain, hurt, rejection, sorrow, anguish. These were the things I felt.
"Hey, that's great! So who's the lucky one?" I asked in a normal tone as possible even though I can feel my eyes stinging as tears begin to form.
"Her name is Jael." I said still looking down.
"So, do you love her?" I said with a force smile.
"Yeah, I think so. That's why I'm marrying her." He shrugged his shoulders and I caught him stealing a glance at me.
"Oh, we-"
"What about you? Are you in love with someone else?" He suddenly said cutting me off before I could say anything.
"Yeah, I'm also in love. In fact, I love this person all along. I completely learned to love and accept this person while I was away." I said, maybe he would see the hint with what I said.
(Yuki's POV)
"Yeah, I'm also in love. In fact, I love this person all along. I completely learned to love and accept this person while I was away." He said. So, he really moved on with his life.
"Are you happy that you love this person you're in love with?" I asked forcing myself to smile back at him.
"Yeah, I am really happy that I love this person." He said with a smile painted on his face.
"That's great. So, does this person love you in return?" I suddenly said without realizing it.
"I really don't know, but I keep on dreaming and hoping that this person will love me in return. I love this person so much that most of the times, I feel like I'm on my knees begging this person to love me back." He said still not letting go of that smile. That smile that drives me insane.
"Wow, you must really love this lucky person. But it sounds like you haven't told her yet." I grinned back and for the first time in a long time, I could sense the pain and sorrow surfacing into me. He really moved on with his life.
"Yu-Yuki I…"
My cell phone suddenly rang indicating that there was a message.
"Sorry 'bout that. What were you saying Shu?" I said.
"Nothing, it's nothing. I've missed my chance with this person and I don't want to ruin his life over me. I gotta go Yuki, it's getting late."
He suddenly ran before I could utter another word.
Well, that's chapter 2. I hope it's not that bad. I know that it's a bit hanging and you're dying to know what would happen next. So, if I get a reasonable amount of reviews, I'll post the next chapter. Want to have a sneak preview of what will happen next? Just say it and I'll let you have a peak. Haha. This chapter is dedicated to a classmate, co-perpetrator and a good friend of mine, Michelle for her bubbly personality, for being an inspiration of mine and for her British accent.
