Summary: I finally found someone, but why now? Why should I? cheesy much
I used to do all the things by my self. Or rather I should say, I used to be alone. I don’t want to bother others with my things. I’m fed up with that. I’m fed up with their mocking me that I am a bad person. I am an unmannered kid because I didn’t get any proper education from my parents. Well…, how could I ever get one? I even haven’t seen their shadows…. I lived from another orphanage to another one. From one house to another one.
I didn’t make myself any better? I did do that. But all I get was just their bad mouths about me.
‘You’re just too full of your self! What? You want everybody to praise you? Like hell I would!’
‘She just has no manners!’
‘Well…, what do we expect from an orphan like her?’
‘She even made a handmade apron for my mom, but my mom doesn’t like it and she threw it away! Hahahah…! How useless….’
They bad mouthed me without realizing that they’ve already hurt my heart. Or, did they do that consciously? Whatever it was, I’m happy that I now live by myself. Even though I’m still under the watch of the social departments, I’m no longer live with those people who made up like an angel in front but a pure devil inside. No matter how they’re mocking me this time, it has nothing to do with them at all.
“Arioka…, Daiki?” it was my first year in high school. Someone just call my previous name. The name that isn’t my name anymore.
“Yokatta! It really is you!” a tall brown haired boy smiled at me brightly.
“Himejima Daiki desu. Yoroshiku,” I bowed, showed my politeness. I though he must be someone from my past, so I did ignore him that time, and left him with those very dumb face of him. “Pfft…,” I unconsciously chuckled because of that ‘Baka’ face he put on.
“Oi! Pengu-chan! Don’t just ignore me and leaving with your chuckles echoing in my ears!” then I realized that that boy was really someone from my past.

“Daaai-chan!” those faked cute voice just now….
“What now?” I snapped, being a bit cold.
“Heee…, don’t be so cold to me, Himejima-san….” He must have something to ask me about if he come to me with this spoiled act.
“What??” I closed the book I was reading.
This guy…, Takaki Yuya. The boy from my past. We met in our sixth grade at elementary school. Back then, my name was Arioka Daiki. I got that name from the family who took me in. But when I was on the second grade of junior high, they sent me back to the orphanage because of certain things that I don’t want to reveal it myself.
“I want you to help me out buying something. We’ll go to Shibuya or…,” he was the first friend I have. The first friend who saw me without those underestimating eyes or pitying me. He was the one who acted normal to me, and accept the real me. I really am happy to be together with him again. I’m happy to be able to see him again.
“Hey, are you even listening to me?” he waved his hand in front of my face. I blinked my eyes, and then nodded as an agreement of his offer. I don’t really hear what he said before. He wanted me to help him to buy something, I guess….

We took the train from our school. I ‘m not used to this. I actually avoid taking the train. I don’t like crowded place. The most inconvenient thing is, with the height of my body like this, well I’m short, I easily swiped away by others far far away from my earlier spot. And that makes me dizzy and hard to breathe. And today, I gripped his cloth all the time preventing to get lost. I don’t care if he thinks that I am such a bother doing this, but this is his risk for asking me to go by the train.
“It’s getting more and more crowded,” he murmured. I just nodded my head a little with my hand still gripping his cloth. Our stop is four stations more. Even though it’s only four stations more, I felt like a year standing inside this crowded train. The volume of the passengers is increasing. I was unintentionally shoved by someone and my balance was not good at that time. I almost hit the train door which wasn’t on the get in line. Yeah. Almost. I didn’t hit the door though. Because he saved me. He dragged my left hand which was still gripping his clothes before and pulled me to his hug right before I landed my forehead on the door.
“Aish…,” he hugged me still. “Just bear with this Dai-chan. Our stop is 3 more stations.” I nodded in his hug. “Just stay like this for a while.”
What’s this? What is this feeling attacking me all of a sudden? It bumped me so I felt my heart almost stop but then beating a bit faster than before. I felt like all of my blood is running to my head like crazy and I felt so hot in my face. When I turn my right my head to get a breath from being hugged by him, I saw my face on the glass door. Is it redder?
“Yokatta…! We finally arrived!” I was still dazed.
“Dai-chan? Are you alright?” He gripped my shoulders tightly with his fine hands. “Your face is red! Are you sick or something?”
“Yeah! I…, I felt sick if I was in a crowded place like that. It was really hot so I couldn’t breathe easily and my blood was just running so fast so because I lacked of oxygen….”
“Hai, hai!” he covered my mouth. “Wakatta. We’re not in biology class anyway,” he saw me in the eyes. That made my heart thumped harder. I then turned back my body so he couldn’t see my face that now became redder maybe.
“Then, what are we gonna do?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier?” Ah, I remember now. “You’ll help me out to buy something!”
“What will you buy then, and whom will you give it to?” I asked while I walked away searching for a shop close by.
“I want to buy a gift for the girl I like ‘cause I’m going to confess tomorrow!” he said that line bluntly. It stopped my step suddenly. I turned back and I saw him chuckled in such a nice shy expression. I’ve never seen this expression before.
“Ikou!” he gripped my left hand away. “Let’s get in to that shop first!”
Hey, God…, why does this happen to me? When I finally found someone who I can rely on, someone who sees me without those devilish eyes, someone who can accept me the way I am…. Why does this happen to me? When I realized my feelings for him, at the same time he also realized his feelings towards another girl.
This feeling…, this newly realized feeling of mine…, this unspoken feeling is just too painful, much more painful than being rejected after confession, cause I am rejected right before I can confess them all. It even feels more painful because it won’t come out…. My precious feeling…. It will stay there in my heart forever….
Sealed forever.
-owari-
AN: Saa… Anyone miss me? :P
So I decided to make Daiki as girl here because the character is too girly for a boy… For the sake of plot, I made him as girl here, I don’t usually do that though.
I hope you enjoy the story. Thanks for reading!
