When translated, it means: Anger. Which is mostly how they feel with each other. Only their love, however awkward they might find it, can combat it. AU's, oneshots, songfics, 100-Themes, and short stories all centered around Ikarishipping.

14. Remember?

A/N: HAPPY IKARISHIPPING DAY~! YAAAAAAYYYYY~!

So I shall give you a drabble, AU.

Remember?

Sometimes, when Hikari plays on the playground, she likes to play with Kasumi and Haruka.

Sometimes, when Hikari plays on the playground, she likes to play with Satoshi and Takeshi.

Sometimes, when Hikari plays on the playground, she likes to remember back to two years ago, in kindergarten, when she still played with Shinji.

It's been a while since the mauve-haired boy agreed to play chase with her.

It's been a while since they played house. She remembers that she was always the mommy and Shinji the daddy. Of course, Satoshi would settle for the dog, and Takeshi the butler, with Haruka and Kasumi their daughters.

It's been a while since they talked to each other, face to face, without him giving her a scowl.

It's been a while since they made a pact to always be friends. And she's sure he doesn't remember.

Something happened one day, that much Hikari remembers. She recalls that Shinji came to school worried. But she doesn't remember what about. All she remembers is Shinji pushing her down when she asked if he was okay.

Sometimes, when Hikari plays on the playground, she's only pretending to laugh, when inside she's wondering what happened to Shinji.

Sometimes, when Hikari plays on the playground, she stares at Shinji wistfully and wanting, and whispers out loud,

"Remember?"
