FINALLY THE END OF MY 10hugs CHALLENGE FOR DAN/ECHIZEN!!
#9 Love
Echizen stared down awkwardly at his longterm partner of some... five days. So many things happened at once, and then there he was, a boy just his age sleeping on his lap under the cool shade of summer trees.
He'd never thought about liking anyone this way until that very moment.
To be honest, he never really cared for gender or what have you, because he never actually saw himself with anyone. How weird this was now.
But no point dwelling on it too long...
He stared down, thoughtless.
That silly green bandana hugging those endless truffles of hair, usually bright and cheery face now calm and oblivious to the world.
#10 At the bottome of everything
Taichi hated being alone, which was partly the reason why he always talked so much. Just to hang on to whoever happened to be along. Partly the reason why he was so polite as well. People don't like you if you're not polite, right? But he was also polite by nature so he supposed that was his one-up.
Night time was the worst time of any day. Because that's when everyone crawled back under their rocks for 7-10 hours. And he couldn't sleep that long.
Just turning off the lights was a problem.
Sad.
Taichi rolled over in his bed, wondering about the faces he'd see the next day and thinking back on the faces he'd seen the day before. One face always stuck out the most, along wih it's furrowed brows, pouty visage, and a hat tipped with a grumpiness only possessed by one Echizen Ryoma.
Of course, Taichi reminded himself, nothing was wrong or even suggestive of thinking about the same person every night before he went to sleep. It wasn't like he did any awkward things on top of that, things he cared not to name.
Hugging his pillow for some reassurance of his tomorrow, his eyes fluttered shut. Mind and body at rest. When it all came down to it, he was just plain lonely.
To endings and new beginnings, cheers.
Well, since that's the last of the tables for ten hugs, I'm done with this community. <3
