CHAPTER 2: Ryoma

WARNINGS: Fem!Ryoma, MaybeOOC!Characters, A bit of Inappropriate Words(maybe a lot)

So...This is the second chapter of FCT that I finally managed to sit down and write...I hope you like it!

Ryoma's POV

Haa… I wonder what is Syuusuke doing?*snorts* Probably with his girlfriend, being all sweet and cuddly. Ahh! I don't know whether I should be angry or jealous. I-Syuusuke was my best friend first, before that girl came along. I've always been by his side. Why is it that it couldn't be me?

I still remember when I first met him… Heh, I really did think that he was an ass or sadist then. I mean who makes a friend by dragging her along in a pointless adventure- and quite possibly dangerous- when it's obvious she was very reluctant? But then again, it wouldn't be Syuusuke if he wasn't a bit sadistic but angelic…

(Flashback)

"Arghh! Bakaniki! I told him I don't wanna go out and yet he still dragged me along! And then what!? He leaves me alone, in an unfamiliar country, a place that I haven't even tried to explore yet! Baka! Baka! Baka! Once I get home I'm gonna kill him!" I shouted out loud, prompting other people to look at me and at the same time distance themselves to avoid my anger. 'And once again, my brother's stupidity knows no bounds. Who leaves an 8 years old alone when we just moved here!?' I stomped my feet angrily, wanting to wring my brother's neck at that moment, something that would make me really happy. 'He would wish that he's dead once I get my hands on him!

Still angry, I continued weaving through the crowd, avoiding bumping into people. It was crowded that time what with it being a weekend so a lot of people are out to hang out with friends or families. Me, being a strong-headed and prideful kid, decided that, no, I don't need help even though I'm new here. Ignoring my plans to kill my brother for later, I tried to find the park. I didn't know where I was going and forgot to look at where I was going causing me to bump into another.

*Oomph*" Ah! Gomenasai!" The one I bumped into exclaimed, seeming worried since I fell on my butt. "You should be careful.. Are you okay?" He asked. I saw a hand extend to help me up and I looked up to the person I bumped to. I was faced with gorgeous and intense blue. 'Pretty…' The boy I bumped to had chin-length brown hair and a bit narrowed eyes colored a very intense and intimidating shade of blue. He seemed to be waiting for my response. Wanting to be petty, I glared and looked away, my arms crossed across my chest. This baffled him, so he reached out and tried to make me stand. Key word is tried. Like mentioned earlier, I was strong-headed and prideful at, well, worst of times so I purposely weighed myself down. This seemed to amuse him, however, and he chuckled. A bit embarrassed for my childish act, I looked up again and glared straight into amused blue eyes.

"Hi! Nice to meet you too, I'm Fuji Syuusuke. What's yours?" he said to me in reply to my glare, closing his eyes into and eye smile that I found really annoying. Still, my parents didn't raise me to be an impolite child, at least not as much as others seem to think, so I answered. "Echizen Ryoma."

He did that eye smile again, irritating me more. I feel like he is enjoying this… " Now that we're introduced, come on!" Grabbing my hands, he pulled me up regardless of my protest and dragged me along.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going!?" I shouted at him, trying to pull my hands from his hold but he continued on, not noticing or most probably ignoring my words and attempts to free myself. "Stop dragging me!"

By this point, I was getting irritated and my temper is rising what withe continuous annoyances this morning.'Kami, what did I do to deserve this? Why do you have to torture me so?' I thought, cursing my brother to the depths of hell. Didn't he understand the meaning of stop? 'This kid…' Disregarding the fact that I was kid as well, and possibly younger than said kid.

"Oi! Are you deaf? Or just stupid?" I taunted him, wanting to get a reaction. He stopped and I thought I finally irritated him,but then he just turned around to look at me and say cheerfully, "We're going on an adventure!"

Needless to say, he made quite an impression when I met him, an annoying one for sure but very memorable..

(End of Flashback)

I never thought that he would be my closest friend back then….I deemed him as an annoying pest who wouldn't go away..In the end, I fell in love with him but he doesn't reciprocate my feelings. I miss him…. I mis Syuusuke...But I know that he'll never like me that way. To him, I'm probably like his younger sister. Maybe It's better if I try to move on.. Confess to him and once I'm rejected, maybe I can finally give up on him..
