Author's Note: Helllo there! I was thinking about letters and notes and what not so this is where the idea sparked. Please review and enjoy!
Notes
It took him a long time to say the words, "I love you." This aggravated May to the point where she considered breaking up with him because she doubted his feelings for her. It was pathetic to her, being moody because she was in a relationship with her dream guy and he probably didn't even care about her. They had been dating for almost a year and he never said anything close to those words, not once.
When she first started to ignore him, Steven was utterly confused. He wondered if it was something he said or maybe if it was because he wasn't spending enough time with her. He might have sucked when it came to his knowledge of females, but he wasn't stupid enough to not know that she was clearly bothered. Since she wouldn't talk to him on the phone or in person, he decided to play it old school. He began writing her notes, leaving him in her mailbox.
May,
I know you're mad. I'm not really sure why, but I wish you wouldn't ignore me. I know sorry might not cut it, but I hope you're doing well. Be sure to eat properly and get enough sleep.
With love,
Steven
To May,
Good morning. Today you are probably more beautiful than the yesterday. You will be even more tomorrow.
Thinking of you,
Steven
My special girl,
The weather forecast today says that there will be a chance of thunderstorms. If you plan on going out, please be safe.
From,
Steven
To the beautiful May,
Recently, many people have been getting sick. Stay warm and rest well. Take care of yourself for me.
Steven
May,
I've been feeling lonely recently. It hurts when you aren't here by my side. I miss holding you or stroking your hair. I hope it's still soft and silky as I remember.
From your friend,
Steven
My sweet May,
I don't think you realize how amazing you are. You breathe in the world and exhale beauty and life into everything and everyone around you. Never ever change.
I can't get you out of my head,
Steven
May,
Your laughter is like tinkling chimes in my head. Your voice soothes me when I dream. When I wake up and you aren't there, Arceus knows I'm losing you.
I miss you,
Steven
May,
The day you come back to me will be the day I can live again.
Come home,
Steven
My darling,
I remember the day I told you I liked you. I swear my heart was going to stop right there, but you smiled and embarced me. You are my hope, my strength, my future. I will never forget that day.
I will break apart without you,
Steven
May, the loveliest of them all,
I don't care if I have to wait a few days. A few months. Years. I'd wait forever until I can hold you in my arms and be with you. In this world or not, I will wait.
Always waiting for you,
Steven
May,
The days I haven't seen you or talked to you, those are the days where I have died. I guess I never told you this, but I'm in love with you. So much. I want to love you and I know I might not be worth it, but love is making me selfish. I want to hold onto you and love you until the day you tell me you don't want me anymore. I'm weak, I'm unworthy, and I don't deserve you. You're the only one to see me beyond my light and glory and past my darkness and pain. You saw me. Don't leave me alone again.
Steven
She doesn't know how long she stares at the last note, clutching it so hard in her hand that her fingers feel numb. She was such an idiot. Of course he loved her. All those notes, the advice, the greetings, they were all of him loving her. He was pouring love into her, all the little things he said were indirectly telling her that he loved her. Tears prickle her eyes as she drops the note and runs to her front door. Pain shoots through her legs as she runs as fast as her legs will take her, feeling the air leave her lungs all too quickly, but all she can think about is him. Steven. She just needs to see him and have him hold her so she could cry and tell him how sorry she is.
When she finally does reach his house, she flings the door wide open, stumbling inside. She's breathless, sweat on her forehead, gripping her sides. She looks like a mess and her stomach is in knots that make her feel sick. She runs into the living room to see him looking up, startled by her sudden appearance. He puts down his book, eyeing her, as if she isn't real and she's going to disappear the second he blinks. Just the sight of him makes her eyes water and sting.
Tears fall out of her eyes and she runs into him, clinging onto to him as if he is the air and she is suffocating. She buries her head into his chest, too ashamed to say anything. He holds her tightly, eventually collapsing on the floor, rocking her slowly while patting her hair. They fit so perfectly, her head on the crook of his neck, his chin on top of hers. Two lovestruck people, holding each other and crying. Just of the presence of being with each other feels right, regardless of the stuffy noses and sobs.
Being in love with someone doesn't mean you always have to tell them you love them. Love is in the simple words spoken, in the simple actions taken. Just remember to say it enough times. Telling someone you love them can be difficult and scary, but love can only make us stronger.
The formatting for the letters is really bad, I know! I'm sorry! I was honestly having a bad day when writing this, so it is very sappy and stuff. Feel free to send me ideas for future chapters! Your ideas and thoughts mean so much! And if you have a tumblr, you should follow me tooooo. Sorry for any errors or if this was not that great. I try.
