Summary: You can’t always win everyone’s love, but you can work towards it.
Author's Note: This was written about…two years ago? I think it was supposed to be a one-shot, but somehow it came out shorter than I thought. At least the sweetness of it is enough to rot your teeth.
Sweet, melodic laughter filled his head as he thought of her again. Thinking of her brought a smile to his face, as it always did. Just to see her or hear her voice was enough for him, and that was all he could receive from her.
She was in love with another person. Who was the lucky guy? He didn’t have a clue, but from the way she would always worry about him, he felt the guy was lucky to have her affections. He smiled faintly, the words she’d spoken about him still lingered in his mind. “Even if he’s still in love with her, I’ll always be by his side.”
To be honest, he was jealous, always of him. At time, anger was also felt towards him. And then there were times when he was glad he existed because then he could hold and comfort her when she’s hurting emotionally because of him.
He felt someone poking him on the forehead. Looking up, emerald green eyes met cerulean blue eyes. She, Kagome Higurashi, was smiling at him. “At me,” he thought. The smile was so infectious that he soon found himself smiling along with her.
Kagome crouched down to where he sat on a small boulder. She cocked her head to one side curiously. “Why are you sitting out here, Kurama?”
Kurama looked into Kagome’s wondering eyes. His hand reached out and fingered strands of Kagome’s hair, surprising her with this action. He smiled. “Just thinking.”
“About… You’re being rather vague, Kurama.” Kagome said slowly, her eyes following his hand as they returned to his lap.
He stood up, brushing imaginary dust off of his body. He reached a hand out to Kagome, his mouth curved upward in a smile. “I’ll tell you later. Let’s go for some ice cream!”
Kagome giggled, placing her hand in Kurama’s offered hand. She followed in his strides, smiling brilliantly at nothing in particular. Kurama looked at her inwardly, finding himself basked in her innocent joy.
For now, I’m grateful to be your friend.
