Here's a really short story for a (late) Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day was always a boring day for Hiro Hamada. It was boring because he really didn't have anything to do while almost everyone he knew was out with their significant other. Tadashi was out with his girlfriend and his aunt was busy in the cafe. At first Valentine's Day was not such a big deal for Hiro but now as the young boy was becoming a teenager, it was becoming hard on him. He now understood why the singles on Valentine's Day were so desperate. They wanted to be with someone. For Hiro, we wanted to be loved. The love he wanted was especially hard to come by these days. For one; he's gay, how many gay people do you come by easily; and two; everyone thought he was a freak. In his mind, nobody wants to be with a gay freak. It was because of that, that Hiro was feeling lonelier than before. He's never going to find someone who wants to be with him.
Hiro finished the day in school and walked down the hall to his locker to pick up his robotics book that way he can do something at home tonight. He opened his locker and brought his book out but did not close it yet because he found a red envelope inside. When did that get here? He grabbed the envelope and opened it to find a letter inside.
You come in my dreams,
You come in my thoughts,
Your cute face and dreamy eyes
Have melted my heart in knots,
Whether it is morning or noon,
Whether it is evening or night,
I just can't seem to get you
Out of my mind or sight,
Come, pacify my beating heart,
Yes, I have fallen for you,
Give me a nice warm hug
And say that you like me too…
At the bottom of the page there was a picture of a heart and two sex male symbols connected. Hiro could feel a smile grow on his face and his heart feeling warm. At least there was someone out there who didn't think he was a freak. He was so happy to have received the letter and blushed at the fact that he had a secret admirer. Hiro left the school with a goofy smile on his face and walked home in total bliss. When he got to the cafe, Aunt Cass greeted her nephew only to be surprised that she got a big hug from the boy. Hiro went up to his room and found Tadashi planning out his date for his girlfriend. "Hey bro, what's up?"
"Oh...nothing much." Hiro giggled. Tadashi knew something was up.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing! I just-" Hiro trailed off and wondered if he should tell his brother. "Nevermind."
Tadashi was going to ask his brother again but then decided against it, seeing how...oddly happy Hiro looked. Tadashi did not want to ruin whatever happiness Hiro got into because this was the first time he looked happy again.
Tadashi eventually found out at night and he found Hiro sleeping on his bed with the letter next to him. "A secret admirer huh." Tadashi was both worried and happy for his brother at the same time. He was worried because he didn't want Hiro to be heartbroken again, but he was happy because someone decided to acknowledge Hiro in a polite and romantic way.
Any suggestions! I might (will) take them ;)
