A/N:Ok this story is finally finished. I have a ton of reasons why it took this long, I can list them if you want. I was using a really old computer and it finally crashed taking with it all of my files. I had this chapter half way done before my computer died. I didn't have any other compter to type on and starting all over on a chapter that I had almost all the way done just made me want to cry. Plus I am really behind in school meaning writing fanfic is at the bottum of my list. Really the only reason that this story even got finished is because I got 1 review and I would hate to review and story and them find out that it was never going to be finished. Ok It may seem a little rushed but like a said life is kicking my butt right now and I just wanted to get this done. I still think it's pretty good. I hope you do too. It may be a bit OOC so I tried not to used to many other then Yuuto.
I went the long way around the park to get to him. I didn't want him to see me coming. I'm so afraid that is he sees me he'll run. I know I would.
I'm standing right behind him now. I watch him as he looks around the park probably looking for me or Kotarou. When he can't find us he hangs his head and lets out a disappointed sigh. He turns around and comes face to face with me.
“Yuuto!” He sounds so scared. His aura is frantic a mess of brown, gray, sulfur, red, and yellow.
I never knew someone could feel so many things all at once. I was right though he's looking around trying to find a way to escape.
“Hey, look I...I was wondering If you like to go somewhere with me to…talk?” I smiled. “I swear all I want is to talk.”
He just stood there staring at me. “You want to talk to me? Why? I mean after all the stuff I did...don't you hate me?”
His aura had toned down a little; all the colors were still there it just wasn't as frantic. This made me really happy.
“No, I don't hate you in fact I was hoping that...maybe if you wanted we could be…friends.” Truth is I wanted to be more then friends be he was freaked out enough as it is, best to just take baby steps.
His aura burst into red and yellow. It was such a beautiful color. I loved that the thought of being friends with me made him so happy because it made me feel that way too. That is until it turned to the most ugly color gray I had ever seen.
He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. “You're just messing with me aren't you? There's no way you could want to be friends with me after everything I've done.”
I stood there shocked not knowing what to do. What could I do?
I did the only thing that came to my mind; I pulled him close and held him tight. His aura turned bright with yellow and red, no gray in sight. “I want you to forget about all the things you did to me and Kotarou because I'm forgetting them too. Why don't you and I meet tomorrow after school? So we can really talk.”
His aura turned pink. “You don't have to decide right now. If you want to see me I'll be waiting in this park after school. If don't want to see me don't show up.” I told him in a calm voice trying hard to soothe his nerves. “Is that alright with you?”
He nodded against my chest. His aura still pink, but now it had a little red mixed in. He looked up at me. “I like that idea.”
I released him from my arms. “I'll be waiting.” was all I said before I walked away.
I guess the happiness on I was feeling must have shown because when I got home my mom immediately questioned me.
She took on look at my face before laughing. “What are you so happy about?”
I just looked at her trying to wipe the smile off my face, but I just couldn't. Is it weird to feel so happy after only talking to someone you like? After only making a date when you don't even know if the other person is going to show up? Then again most everything about me liking Haru is weird, so I guess this just fits. “It's nothing...I just...I just had a really good day.”
She gave me a disbelieving look. “I've never seen anyone smile like that just because of a good day, but whatever you say.”
I didn't know how my mom would take the news of Haru. Besides he only agreed to maybe meet me tomorrow. I didn't want to tell her anything until I knew what was going on myself. Plus if I were to talk about it and how happy it made me it would only raise my hopes higher. They were high enough already. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I'm going to be crushed if they fall.
That thought worked in helping wipe the smile off my face, but I have to be realistic.
I walked into my room lost in thought. What would I do if Haru didn't show up? I'm pretty sure that he wants to be friends, but what if I'm wrong?
I shut my door and flop on my bed. What was I going to say to him? What could I say? He was so freaked out tonight. Does he even want to be friends? With everything that's between us is being friends a good thing?
Wait...What am I saying of course it's a good thing. After the months of thinking about it and the hours spent talking about it...why am I just now starting to second guess myself?
I sigh. There's really nothing I can do about it now. It already set up the meeting with him, what's done is done. Once I see him again I'm sure all my doubts with disappear.
I lay there picturing his face. A smile instantly makes it's way to my face. I knew it, even just thinking about him is enough to make some of my fears vanish. Questions are still running through my head, but I won’t be getting any answers until tomorrow afternoon. That is if Haru shows up.
I shake my head. I need to get those thought away. I'm not going to know anything until tomorrow. With that thought in mind I drift off into sleep.
I made me way to school as slow as possible. I'm so tired! I had another dream about Haru last night, but this one was a nightmare. Haru kept on accusing me of tricking him. He said that he hated me and never wanted to see me again. I ended up waking up an hour before I had to. I can tell that today will be just perfect!
I barely made it into the schoolyard before Kotarou ran up to me.
“So?” He asked.
He looked so curious that I just couldn't help but tease him. “So...what?” I asked trying to keep a smirk off me face. Unfortunately it didn't work all that well.
“You know what!” He shouted while lightly hitting me on the arm. “How did things go with Haru?”
“I think it went okay, all things considered. He seemed shocked that I would even want to talk to him. Even more when I mentioned us being friends, I asked him to meet me at that park after school today.”
Kotarou nodded his head. “So you're meeting after school today. That's great!”
I failed to hold in a sigh. “It will be if he shows.”
He looked shocked. “You made a date and you aren't even sure if the other person is going to show!”
I gave him a small smile. “He was freaked out enough as it is. I didn't want to make it worse by demanding him to meet me. So I gave him a choice...I told him he didn't have to show.”
Kotarou let out a frustrated sigh. “You need him to show! If he doesn't you're just going to keep thinking about him. You have to talk to Haru or nothing will change!”
“I hope you aren't taking about the Haru I think you're talking about.”
Kotarou jumps at the voice. “Tatsuki you startled me!”
Tatsuki just gave him a bored look. “Just answer the question.”
I raise my eyebrow at him. “You never asked a question.” This of course earned me a glare.
“Are you talking about the same Haru that I'm thinking about? The one that tried to poison you, blow me up, and burn Kotarou to death?”
Before I even had a chance to say anything Kotarou answered. “Of course it's him. How many other Haru's do you know?”
“Why would you two be talking about him?” Tatsuki asks giving us a strange look.
Once again Kotarou jumped to answer. “Yuuto is in love with him.” He stated while having a very weird smug look.
My jaw dropped at that. How easily he said it. How fast he accepted his best friend having feeling for someone that tired to kill him. That and I knew I had strong feelings for Haru, but strong enough to call it love? That I didn't know. It's way too early to dwell on.
Tatsuki's composed mask actually slipped, he looked completely shocked. “How can you be attracted to someone who tried to kill you? That's just...wrong.”
I cringed at his tone. I know that I kept thinking it was wrong, but to actually hear someone say it out loud.
“It is not wrong!” Kotarou shouted, “I think it's kind of romantic. Haru may have done bad things, but that's just because his feelings for Yuuto were so strong. I think it's wonderful that Yuuto feels the same.”
Tatsuki smirks. “Of course you would think that.”
“What's that supposed to mean?” asks Kotarou clearly annoyed.
“What do you think it means?” Tatsuki says over his shoulder as he walked off. Kotarou close behind, still trying to get Tatsuki to see his point of view.
I just have to laugh. They were talking about me and my feeling about someone else, but I didn't say a word the entire time. “Having those two around definitely makes things interesting.
I just stood there thinking until the school bell rang. Students all around me started slowly walking toward the school’s entrance. I was a little excited for school to start the sooner it started the sooner it was over. I just had this funny feeling that this was going to be the longest day in my short life.
Of course I was right. My classes were dragging on forever, and everywhere I look I see something that reminds me of Haru. I honestly think I’m losing my mind even my 30 year old teacher is reminding me of my Haru.
…Wait a second back up did I just think of Haru as mine? No, I couldn’t have but I did. Oh great now I’m starting to argue with myself. Must stop acting crazy!
I was just about to start banging my head on my desk when the bell rang for lunch. Well at least the other kids won’t get to see me acting weird, and I can always hit my head on my lunch table if I really need to. Yeah I’m sure Kotarou won’t have a problem with it at all. I really don’t know if he would or not actually, he is a pretty weird guy.
“Yuuto are you going to spend your entire lunch in my class?”
Well that startled me out of my thought, and I was finally thinking about something other than Haru too. I looked up, my teacher was standing right over my desk but I already knew that I mean who other than a teacher would ask that question. Students sure don’t have classes.
“No sir, I was just leaving.” I said backing out of there as fast as I could. I can’t believe I spaced out like that; I almost missed half my lunch. Well at least time seemed to go a little faster in those few minutes.
I walk down the hall careful not to bump into anyone, all the while looking for Kotarou. I really like to talk to him right now, I’m sure he could entertain me.
Unless of course the lunch bell rings before I can find him which it does. I didn’t even get to eat! I guess I’ll just have to talk to him, before I meet Haru. That is if Haru even shows. Ok, ok Yuuto don’t go freaking yourself out just yet wait until after school. Speaking of school it’s time to get back to class, only a few more to go.
YES! School is finally over and it’s time to go meet Haru, and surprisingly I’m not all that freaked out. I’m actually really calm. I have this feeling that Haru will be there and everything will turn out great.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to talk to Kotarou. Tatsuki and he left right after school for something or other. It’s probably better that way he probably would have just made me more anxious then I already am. I don’t really have much to say right now anyway. I’ll just talk to him tomorrow after my meeting with Haru…if he shows.
Well I can’t prolong it any longer and honestly I don’t want to. It’s time to head to the park. I walk slowly but not too slowly, I don’t want to keep Haru waiting long. If he’s even there, got to remember he may have decide not to come.
I can see the park just up ahead; my heart starts to beat faster. I see the tree where Kotarou spotted Haru spying on us. It’s the perfect spot to wait. I sit there with my back to the tree trying to think of what I’ll do if he doesn’t show, what I’ll do if he does show. I’m still not clear about either.
“Hello…Yuuto.” I hear a timid voice say.
Before I even look up a face splitting smile is on my face. I started to stand. I couldn’t believe my eyes he actually showed up. His aura was such a bright red it was almost blinding. “Hello Haru.”
We just stood there staring at each other not knowing what to say. Well I knew what I wanted to say but I couldn’t get the words out, and I didn’t know if he could handle all that right now.
I started walking over toward the swings. I knew he would follow. “I’m really glad you came, Haru.”
He looked up at me shocked just blinking his eyes; his aura had turned to a soft yellow. I don’t think he believe I really want to be his friend even now. “I’m glad I came too. Why did you want to meet me though I just don’t get it? After everything I’ve done…I know you said to forget it but I can’t.”
He looked up at me closed to tears. I have to tell him the truth I have to tell him how I feel about him. Maybe then some of the guilt he feels won’t be so bad.
“You want to know the real reason I wanted to meet you?” I looked Haru straight in the eyes. “It’s because I think I maybe in love with you.”
His eyes bugged and his jaw dropped. “How can you be in love with me? I tried to kill you and your best friend. I did horrible, horrible things you can’t be in love with me!”
I can’t believe I did it but I started laughing. “That’s what I thought too but the more I thought about it the more none of it mattered. I’ve been having dreams about you every night for three months, I think about you every day. Yeah, you’ll probably say it’s because you tried to kill me but I never thought about you in that way.”
He just started at me for awhile absorbing what I said. “You’re serious aren’t you?”
I nodded “Very.”
He sighed. “So what are we going to do about this?”
“That’s up to you I’m not going to push you into anything you don’t want to do. If you want we could try dating but only if you want.” Please say yes...Please say yes!
His aura had turned all sorts of colors red, yellow, blue, and brown. I took this as a very good sign. He looked down at the ground and then back up at me. “Yeah, I think I’d like to try. I promise not to try and hurt you again.” He said with a small smirk.
“Ok.” I leaned across the swings and kissed him. I felt him stiffen. I hoped it wasn’t too soon to do this but I had been waiting for three months. Finally I felt him relax and lean into me. It was the best kiss of my life there was no way it could be wrong.
A/N: I know it's corny but I like story with last lines that tie into the title. Please read and review. I may do a sequel or something, but not in the near future.
