hello~! haven't got much traffic over here yet, but I'm hoping all you "Akagami no Shirayukihime" fans will stop by and drop a line or two!
Theme~ #2: Heartless
Well, the good thing was she didn't seem to mind his company anymore. He much preferred that to the moments where she had jumped every time she saw him. He might even dare to say that she enjoyed his being there. He knew he did, but it was still easier to watch her from a distance. In this case, hidden in the boughs of a tree. He sighed ruefully. It seemed that the further away she was, the more at ease his heartbeat and tendency to mistakenly brush against her were. Mistakenly…
He could see her below, tending to the palace garden's herbs. She paused regularly, brushing at her brow so that vibrant strands of hair clung to her cheeks and throat. His gaze softened. She always threw herself into the things she cared about most, even if it meant endangering herself.
It's so easy to tell when Little Miss is happiest…
"Shirayuki!" a voice called faintly.
He blinked, catching a glimpse of a straw-haired boy roaming the east side of the gardens. Unbidden, an image of her, flushed and bubbling laughter beside the youth, came to mind. His eyes narrowed imperceptibly and he called out before he could think, sliding down from his perch.
"Little Miss!"
She started, turning toward him with wide summer-green eyes. He jogged over, looking around her and noticing, with a semblance of satisfaction, the boy's shoulders sag visibly as he turned away.
He was heartless, he supposed. But because he was, he didn't care.
I think we've all noticed Obi's recent behavior toward Shirayuki... are we going to get a love triangle soon? :D
review, maybe?
