Say The Words (PG)
Written by ZB24
"Why can't you just admit your feelings to me?! Why do you have to hide everything from me?! You take everything and you lock it away inside of you, why? It's because you're afraid right? Afraid that I might see who you really are and not be so madly in love with you as I am now? Is that what it is? Well if that's it, your fear is unfounded! As many things about you as I hate, I love twice as many things!! I could never stop loving you, but why can't you see that?!"
His words hurt because they were true. As I ran through the pelting cold rain, they reverberated through my head. I couldn't forget them. Hiroto was the only one who had ever even remotely understood...
I ran up the stairs, slipping twice but ignoring the pain. I reached his door and was this far from banging on it. It was late and dark out and I probably shouldn't have been there at all, but this couldn't wait until morning.
He opened it as if he was ready to yell at whoever was on the other side, but once he saw me he stopped suddenly.
We hadn't spoken to each other for about a week. I was unnecessarily angry at him for what he'd said, but as I thought about it I realized he had always been right about this matter.
Neither one of us said anything, sometimes we didn't need to, he just took my hand and pulled me into his apartment. I could only imagine how I looked... I believe it was something similar to a lost puppy.
He sighed, "I'm sorry about what I said. Maybe I was to harsh on you. I just want-"
"No, I'm the one who should be apologizing." I butted in, "It was stupid of me to lie to you and hide my feelings from you. Life made it so that I became afraid to trust anyone... to love anyone. But you... You know, I would trust you with my life. But, I couldn't ever tell you that before."
I was still holding onto his hand.
"You were always different from everyone else. You always saw through all of my lies to know what I was really feeling. Even when I tried to push you away, you never gave up on me and still loved me. That meant a lot to me although I never told you that. There's a lot of things I never told you."
"It's okay, you don't need to-" He tried to speak.
"But... But I want to change." I continued on although I never talked this much in one stretch. "And... as long as you're by my side, I think I can."
"Of course you can." I heard a slight smile in those words.
"To start, there is one thing I want to tell you..."
I looked at him and I could see expectancy in his eyes...
"I love you a whole lot."
He just smiled. He already knew, like he always knew what I was feeling, but he wanted to hear me say it.
"I love you so much." He almost whispered.
Then he pulled me into a kiss that was so wonderful it took my breath away. We were happy, nevermind that my clothes were getting him all wet...
Yes, with this guy standing by me... I think I can do anything. And I told him that later, too.
A/N: This is random, but I think it's cute. XD Honestly, I felt like shit a little while ago. Writing this made me feel a little better though. Haha~ Hope you liked it too.
