Synopsis: Because I’m just a Human. And you are a God.
Note: this story kept running inside my mind for quite a long time, ‘til my Pon-muse forced me to write it.
(HIROTO’S POV)
I don’t remember the first time I saw you.
Maybe because your image was everywhere I looked since I was a kid.
That smiling face....
That beautiful body....
You’ve always been in my life.....
But I know I can’t say the same about yours.
You are perfect.
You are powerful.
You are wise.
You are gorgeous.
...Me?
I’m.... nothing compared to you.
I’m a simple man who lives a simple life with a barely decent job.
And the only thing that makes me smile is you.
I laugh bitterly thinking that you don’t even know of my presence in this world.
But it’s okay... I know I can’t expect anything more....
Today they will celebrate you and I’m already walking in these streets that will soon be crowded with people.
I just want to see you, like any one else, even for a few seconds, before you’ll disappear behind the golden gates of your palace.
Taking out an other cigarette, I lean on a wall of a nearby house, waiting to be surrounded by screaming families and strange men.
I close my eyes, trying to concentrate only on the image of your beautiful body and on the sound of your sweet voice.
I’m too lost in my thoughts, that I almost miss the echoes of horns signalling your arrival.
I drop my cigarette and move away, hoping to get closer to your palace as much as possible.
I’m still trying to be seen by you, although I know you won’t notice me.
Because I’m just a Human. And you are a God.
I’m stupid, right?
But I can’t stop my heart from trying, even if my mind keeps telling me that it won’t be different from the other times.
Because it’s true.... Countless times I tried..... countless times I failed....
But there’s still hope in my heart...
And for that I will wait here for you.
And when I finally get to see you, I’m left breathless.
Because you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
And every time I lay my eyes on you, you never fail to surprise me with your amazing look.
You’re slowly approaching the gates, smiling at the people around you, waving your hand in the air with delicate movements.
I’m starring with wide eyes, not willing to miss anything of this moment because who knows how long I’ll have to wait to see you again.
Suddenly you lay your eyes on me and it feels like time stopped.
Those big brown orbs seem to dig into my soul; slowly your lips curve up in the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen and I can’t help but smile back at you.
I don’t even dare to blink my eyes, too afraid to lose the contact of our gazes.
My mind is blank.
I don’t even realize I’m still surrounded by screaming people who are trying to get your attention.
The last thing I see is still that beautiful smile adorning your lips, before the gates block my view and you’re engulfed in a world I’ll never be allowed to see.
It’s dark.
Streets are now empty.
Laughs and voices can be heard coming from the several houses surrounding these white walls.
I’m still here, unable to move since our encounter a few hours ago.
I’m happy.....
And I can feel my heart being filled with joy and new hope.
I look for the last time at the white palace you’re living in: I can see lights on almost in every room and you’re probably there with your friends and other beings like you, enjoying this day like you deserve.
When I finally lay on my bed, I know that I’ll see again your beautiful smile in my smile.
And I know that even if this is forbidden, I can’t help but let my heart being filled even more with this incredible thing called love.

“Uruha-san...”
Hearing someone calling his name, Uruha slowly turns towards the other, nodding in response.
“Is there something wrong? What are you thinking about?” the other man asks, a hint of concern in his voice.
Uruha just smiles and turn to look outside the window again.
“... Something I will never have”. His words comes out like a whisper but the other can still hear them and his face shows clearly how worried he is about his friend.
“But being a God you can have everything you want...”
Uruha shakes his head and looks at his friend.
“Kai-san... sometimes being a God can be nothing but a curse...”
After these words, Uruha softly pats Kai’s shoulder and walks away, leaving the latter in confusion.
Reaching his room, Uruha lays on his bed, the innocent smile he saw today still clear in his memory.
He recognized immediately the feeling he had when he locked gaze with that young man on the street and he knew very well it was something he had to keep hidden to any one.
Slowly drifting to sleep, he reminded those words he was forced to learn when he was still young:
Falling in love with a being of a different race,
as in Gods with Men and vice versa,
is strictly forbidden.
