Title: love of my life, my soul mate
Pairing: Kusanagi Tsuyoshi/Katori Shingo
Note: Trying to be creative because I haven't slept the whole night and it's already 10 am here. A very short fic. Inspired by this
song.
You know this will happen soon. You know ever since the two of you become best friends, ever since you fall in love with him. But you always push it back to your mind. You want to focus on the present, the present where you are the most important person to him, the best friend he loves the most.
But now you are having doubts. Do you really have the right to think that he loves you, that he needs you forever? That you are the only one in his life? Who are you kidding? You know things will not last. The time you spend together will dwindle; you can’t always call him now like you used to; you will not be able to always see each other now. It is hard to swallow but you have to.
He is important to you and you love him so much and you know you are important to him too but he won’t love you the way you love him, never. You know that from the start. But you still keep a little bit of hope in your heart right? You even imagine the day you will confess to him and he will smile his bright smile and say he loves you too. It’s embarrassing to admit but you usually do this late at night when you can’t sleep.
You wish, you keep on wishing that maybe someday he will notice you the way you notice him but that kind of wish is the type of wish that will never come true.
“Tsuyoshi, I need to tell you something.”
You looked up at him eagerly. You were staying on the rooftop of your high school, watching the clouds go by on the very blue sky. He was the one who asked you to go there with him.
“What is it, Shingo?” You asked, a smile plastered on your face and your heart beating a little bit faster. Maybe this is it?
“I am in love with someone.” He said a little bit shyly. You could see the glow on his face.
At first you were hesitant to ask but clearly you asked who it was. When he said the name, you could feel your heart shattering but you hid it so well. You smiled at him, wishing him all the luck he needs. You assured him she will like him because he is an awesome person. He laughed and thanked you.
Now you are looking at them, they look so happy and you know you should be happy for them but there is still that pinch in your heart. You think after you have cried out your unrequited love for him, the painful feeling will leave you now but no. You don’t really know what to do. You just pretend you know but you don’t. You don’t know why you have to keep waiting and searching for answers.
But you have to endure. You always have to keep a deep breath before approaching them to keep the pain inside and then you will give that smile, the smile in front of everything that you truly feel inside.
After all things will be okay for you soon or so you hope. This is what it’s meant to be as you try to convince yourself. You are the best friend who will always be there for him and who will always support him. Just a best friend and someday you will be genuinely fine with it.
