Shige:

I remember a time three months ago - a day that at first didn’t seem much different than any other. After class, Ryo and I were kissing on his bed and music was pouring in from the other room. It was a cold day and I remember how warm his hand was on the skin of my back.

A scene began to play in my head as if I was watching a movie and, as ( Read more... )

To those who are reading Snow and Ash:

I'm moving into my dorm this Thursday and then I'll be involved in Welcome Weekend and the first week of classes.  I'll probably have little time to write and no time to devote to editing, so Snow and Ash will have to take a backseat until I get settled.  Chapter 5 is halfway done so I'll see if I can get that ( Read more... )

Ryo:

Telling the others about Shiku went just as I thought it would.  They didn’t say much; there wasn’t much to say.  We still don’t know what she wants, after all.

Even if you have a problem, time does not stop for it. You still have to eat, sleep, work, and act as if nothing is wrong while silently trying to deal with it.  All you can do is ( Read more... )

I run my hand over Ryo’s back in an attempt to calm him down. We’re back home now, sitting by the coffee table and everyone is here, waiting for an explanation of what is going on. I don’t know either - Ryo hasn’t said a word since and it’s as if he’s frozen with fear.

I told them as much as I knew - I felt anxious, we went for a walk and it was ( Read more... )

Shige:

The sun paints the sky a deep red and pink as it prepares to disappear below the horizon and welcome the night sky.

In the beginning of our relationship, it felt like we were always together at night. Under the stars we had our deepest conversations, shared our first kiss, and said goodbye.

Since then, we came out of the tiring ( Read more... )

Winter:

“The days we shared after our chance meeting
Are surely etched into my heart forever”

Ryo:

Winter, a season of short days and cold mornings, of frost on the windows. The season in between one of fading and falling and one of rebirth.

That’s how I felt we were, in a period in between with too much hesitation and too many steps along ( Read more... )

Chapter Twelve:

“Waiting for the sun to rise, watching as the moon surrenders.”

Shige:

Snowflakes glisten in front of me as I wait for Koji at our usual meeting spot a few days later.  There’s something about watching the snow at night that always fascinates me.  Some complain about the cold but if it wasn’t cold, the pretty snowflakes so many ( Read more... )

Chapter Eleven:

“I can give you all you need, in spite of what you think you might believe.”

Ryo:

We went to see his play last night, Noeru and I.  It was the last show - the only one Shige was okay with me seeing.  He had been a nervous wreck in the hours before the first show and in between his anxious babblings he told me, “Come to the last ( Read more... )

Request #1: Dark Figure in the White Snow

White flakes of snow dance in front of my eyes before covering the ground and shrouding it with mystery, hiding all that has ever occurred on the soil.

Tears that have fallen,

Wrong paths that have been taken,

And the seeds of journeys yet to have begun.

Suddenly the surroundings become like a clean ( Read more... )
