A/N: This story is a little short but I couldn't think of anything else to say...
Enjoy~
~First Love Picture Book~
Hello there, my name is Gumi, Gumi Megupoid. Have any of you met your first love yet? After going through all my old books and things I found a diary from middle school. In it is an interesting story I want to share…
As I walked down the hallway to my class, I saw him for the first time. He was the angry guy shouting at his friends. Something about the 2nd year and idiot and all the stuff I guess guys usually talk about. But on that day he caught my eye. I had never seen him before and it turns out we both went to different classes but still you stood out to me for some reason.
As I walked into the classroom, an embarrassing sight greeted me.
"Yo! Len! You like it?"
"Kaito! You did this didn't you? Why you…"
On the black board was a drawing of a 'love umbrella' and other random words like 'Gumi + Len = Spring Couple' and 'Like' or 'Love' all around it. Len struggled to cover out all the markings and words from me. I just stood there in shock, my cheeks were red, I just knew it.
"Don't worry about it," Len had said as he rubbed out the drawings. I simply nodded, speechless. This kind of teasing brought the both of us together in an odd kind of way. Len was mean and cold to me but I could figure it out… He liked me… right?
When was the first time we spoke to each other?
When was the first time we met?
All the things I had forgotten over time were eventually asked to me…
One day, I can't remember when, I was asked to walk home with Len and his friends. His friends constantly teased him while I just walked behind them. Eventually, they got Len to stand beside me.
"Well, it's my stop. See ya!"
Kaito seemed to wink at Len before he left. Soon, Gakupo had left too. It was just me and Len waiting at the bus stop.
"Hey… do you want to go to the arcade with me later on?"
I shook my head.
"Sorry, I have to stay home and study and stuff…"
"Is that so?"
Len looked away from me and stared at the sky. I could hear the bus getting closer. For the rest of the ride we hardly spoke to each other at all… if I think even further back… that was the first conversation we had together.
Ever since that day, we walked home together more often as we lived close after all. Len began to warm up around me and eventually the wall between us broke down.
What would have happened if I had the courage to cross those 10cm?
Would things be different today?
If I was more honest to you, I know things would be different!
One winter day, while waiting for the bus we had a short conversation…
"Do you have someone you like?"
"…Yeah… there's someone…"
"I see…"
"And you?"
"Yeah, I do"
If only I had the courage to cross those 10cm…
That night, I couldn't sleep. I had mostly stayed up thinking.
I like him…
And he likes me too, right?
I was trying to be so positive yet I was so shy.
If I think back harder and harder… from that time to the next… he was my first love!
How it all ended? Well, that's a secret…
In this long story of 'first love,' I only lasted for a little bit. The story of the both of us truthfully isn't that long but still, at one point in time our paths crossed! Now, I'm no longer a simple child and I can make my own decisions.
This diary of my first love, full of wonderful memories, should probably stay locked up in my heart forever…
Still… what would have happened if we had passed those 10cm?
Fin.
