Chapter 2: Home
Author's Note: Heyy everyone! So sorry, I know I'm supposed to try to update my stories as much as I can, and you're all probably REALLY mad. But I'll try to update soon I SWEAR. I have a 3 day soccer tournament that started today and ends on Sunday, so I've been a tad busy. With that and homecoming, oh god don't get me started. But I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's sorta a song fic
He stared out the large full length window that was his wall in his new penthouse apartment. The bright green leaves on the trees in the park below his building were now turning a brown-orange color, splashing the usually monotonous city with color and life.
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Deciding against staying inside the warm, heated apartment, the tall blond man grabbed his black jacket, and whirled out of his home, door slamming loudly, waking up several people in the apartment below him.
As he paced the city walks, Usui tried hard not to think. This, unfortunately for him, was something very hard to do. He past hundreds of peoples who banged into him or just ignored him, unaware of how different he was then them, uncaring. A jogger raced past, long hair snapping in the fierce wind. A woman and her child walked down the side walk, singing and laughing. He stared at the dark gray sky above his head as he walked towards the park.
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
As he reached the park, he took his usual place beneath a large oak tree on a small wooden bench. Reaching into his jacket pocket, he pulled out a thick stack of letters. Each one had a single name and address on it. These were all the letters he'd almost sent her… But he knew that his words were worth nothing just written to her. And she deserved so much more than that.
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
my words were cold and flat
and you deserve more than that
After gazing at the stack of letters in his shaking palms, Usui gave a slight chuckle at his uncharacteristic emotions and looked once more at the sky. Airplanes flew like silver birds, wings slicing through the sky in perfect majesty. He was lucky to know this place of quiet in a city such as this. But he'd give it all up if he could return…
Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home
He missed her. He missed her so much. Sitting here under this tree that was so similar to the one they used to climb on made him feel so much closer to her..
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
He knew that this was not her dream. She was a college student, working through school and getting ready to take the world by a storm. She'd be perfect for so many jobs; he often had fun imagining which one she'd choose. But that didn't change his position. He was still himself and wished he had never left. But he also knew she always believed in him.
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
*Time skip*
Snowflakes clung to his blond locks, and fell into his emerald eyes. He paid no heed to the busy people charging past him, rushing about, going to work or trying to get in last minute Christmas shopping. His pocket was heavy though the box in it was small. The cold soaked in through a small hole in his jeans and he cringed slightly. He needed to see her. Grabbing his suitcase, he thrust clothes into it at random, hoping she'd approve.
Another winter day has come
and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
Dashing for the plane, he prayed he wouldn't miss, the tall hopeful man cursed slightly. Why did so many people travel around Christmas? For once he actually acknowledged the groups of people who usually gathered at an airport. Slipping into his seat on the plane, He gave a sigh. I'll be there soon.
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you knowbe there soon.
Racing down the crumbling sidewalk, he felt his heart begin to race. Only a few more minutes…
Let me go home
I've had my fun
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
Opening the front door of the chipped old house, Usui really hoped for her to remember him. Weaving through yet another gaggle of carolers, he gave a elated cry. He'd see her soon. Suddenly crashing into another person, he was thrown backwards. The girl whom he'd crashed into, was glaring non-stop. Then anger gave way to surprise and joy. Her golden eyes like cats were what glimmered when there was no hope. And I loved her. It felt good to be home.
It will all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
Author's Note: So….? What did you think? Ok? So-so? Down right terrible? The song is "Home" by Michael Buble. It's really good.
