Synopsis: I believe in fairy tales.
Comments: This is my first post to this community, so hi there. ^^ I've been thinking about writing a KxT fic for a while already and now that a friend asked me to I finally did. It's not much, but I hope you still like it. ^^
Oh, and in case anyone's interested I've also written a KxT drabble named
With Him.
I believe in fairy tales.
Well, of course not as in thinking that they the truth and that everything we read in them have actually happened before. No, that would be rather silly - I mean, think about, for example, Sleeping Beauty who along with the rest of the castle slept for a hundred years. That’s a lot of sleeping. Kyo would probably like it, even though he does not sleep all that much people assume him to (trust me, I’ve lived with the guy, and it was a rather interesting experience). Well, all of us would like it, especially after the long and tiring tours we’ve had, not to mention the recordings. We all need a good rest after those, but I guess it’s only natural in this industry.
Hm, where was I? Oh, yeah, fairy tales. I believe in them as in believing in something that is bigger than us. The greater good? Perhaps, but most likely it’s just finding the good amongst all the bad in the world, a little joy in your daily routines; simply something to make you feel better.
Oh and… fairies, now that’s a whole different matter. You never know if those exist or not, sneaky little creatures.
I do believe in dreams and working hard to achieve those dreams, too. Sometimes when I look back and see the young Toshiya, see what I was then and compare that to what I am now, I can only be happy to be who I am. The old dreams, they are still there, some of them fulfilled and some of them not, joined by some new dreams as well: our band made it, we are rather rich and famous and that’s simply a fact to admit, and the most important thing, we are able to do what we love the most: music. I made it, too; I learned my instrument, I met my band, my dear friends, and I got to see the world - and I found love.
Still, what I believe in the most is Kaoru. My band mate, my friend, and my lover. The only person that saw me as a flawed human being and loved me nevertheless. I’m not going to lie, though; we’ve had our ups and downs. We both can be very difficult and complex if we want to - our leader isn’t perfect just the way I am not perfect either. But we, as corny as it may sound like, do complement each other, and I couldn’t think of my life without him being a part of it, if not as a lover then at least as a friend. He is the one I can tell everything to and trust that he listens to me.
One of the most beautiful things Kaoru has said to me is that for him, being with me is enough to make him see and respect the fairy tale that surrounds us all - the life itself. I admit there were tears in my eyes when he told me that but they were soon gone as he touched my face, that simple touch enough to tell me how much he cared. We didn’t do anything else that night, the awareness of what we shared was enough for us when we lay in each other’s arms and fell asleep soon after.
And now, knowing that I have his love I could not wish for more.
I love you, Kaoru.
