CHEESY SHOUJO ALERT

[hwamei]

So that was that, then. She should have gotten the message when he stopped replying to her texts, responding to her emails and picking up the phone. Not even a single yes, no or no comment from the man since last month. Years of knowing him, getting closer to him, keeping these feelings to herself, and nothing. Mei stood there in front of the Honda residence for as long as time permitted her, peeking in as if searching for a presence, a ghost - anything that showed signs of anyone previously being there. None. They said he moved away - to Japan, they reckoned - and he wasn't returning. No phone number, no address. Nothing. She wished so hard that he would come back so that he could tell her what she wanted to hear, hear what she wanted to say. Mei knew that was impossible. She was being selfish, or he was being unfair. Yes, he should have told her first. He could have at least said--

The tear-stained letter was all she had of him now. She always feared that the words she had written in ink would wash away. It didn't matter now. Stupid Kiku.

Mei was on her way back home alone, letter still in hand, when she saw her best friend resting by the Centralia Apartments. Kim: home, tanned and blissfully ignorant. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and approached the girl, hoping she would ignore the redness of her eyes and doing her best to put on a smile.

"Kimmy!" Mei hid the envelope behind her back and tried to ignore the lump in her throat. "It's been a while, hasn't it? How was Greece?"

SHOUJO... KIMMY'S SECOND FAVORITE DRUG NEXT TO HORROR 8D

[lotusvivi]

After sitting for a little while, Kim had almost fallen asleep, even though she didn't plan on it. But halfway to dreamland, she was woken up by a familiar voice.

" Huh?" she jerked awake, and looked towards the source of the voice. Mei.
" Mei!" she smiled at her, and stood up, giving her a tight hug when she came close enough.

" It was great. I wish you could've come with us." she said, and looked at her. Wait... Something wasn't right. Why were her eyes red?

" Have you been crying?"

short drama tag is short

[hwamei]

When Kim hugged her, the tears wouldn't stop. She shouldn't be crying like this - stay strong, Mei, stay strong, but she can't keep her shoulders still, can't stop sobbing. Don't stain her new dress, that's from Greece. Don't be sad, don't cry.

"He's gone," was all she could say, hands still at her sides. "He's gone."

Pfff... SHORTNESS

[lotusvivi]

" Gone? Who's gone?" Kim blinked, hearing her cry. She got her over to the bench, and sat down, Mei next to her.

" What's wrong? Did I miss something really important?" she asked, looking at her.

uh yeahhhh

[hwamei]

"Kiku."

His name was barely audible in between her sniffs and sobs. As Mei rubbed the tears from her eyes, she couldn't bear to say anymore yet she did so. Someone had to know. Someone had to know and care.

"He left without saying anything... before I could even..." she hiccuped and wiped away another tear.

Kimmy was supposed to tell her it was alright. Kimmy was supposed to be there for her to lean on, for her hold to keep her strong. But how long would it take before she could stand up on her own?

Awww, so sappy... So Shoujo <3333

[lotusvivi]

" He left?" Kim blinked, barely believing this. It wasn't like Kiku to just leave like that. Then again, he was kinda one of a kind, so...

" Mei..." she sighed, and hugged her again, letting her cry ( and soak her shirt) against her shoulder. " It's gonna be ok....." she whispered, stroking her back. " Maybe not right away, but it will be."

Ghey is my forte. Sorry, rushed. orz

[hwamei]

"It's not," Mei hiccuped. Small reassurances were not going to cut it anymore. "He left because he hates me. He hates me, doesn't he, I just know it."

Hands grabbed the sleeves of Kim's shirt and helped Mei pull herself up to face Kim, not seeming to be the least affected by the news. Biting her lip, she wished she didn't care so much. "Did I do anything wrong? Does he like someone else? Am I not cute enough? Kimmy? He hates me - there's nothing that says otherwise - he isn't coming back," and she rested against Kim's shoulder again, sobbing louder. She whispered to herself, "It's all my fault, my fault. My fault..."

Soon, Mei had fallen silent, back to catching her breath, letting her tears roll down.

Short aru ;A;

[lotusvivi]

It was almost like a scene out of a shoujo. A guy leaves and the girl is left behind, thinking it's all her fault.

" Mei, it's not your fault. Kiku doesn't hate you!" she said, hugging her tight. " You did nothing wrong. And for the record, you're the cutest girl on this planet, and Kiku's an idiot for leaving." Kim said. And it was an honest opinion. She had no intentions of lying to her best friend since she was in the fourth grade.

Taking this from Full Moon wo Sagashite lmao

[hwamei]

While Mei cried into Kim's shirt as Kim comforted her, a sudden realization hit her. His moving away, the unanswered phone calls... "This is like that manga I just read." A glint appeared in Mei's eyes as she went on to narrate her ideal love story. "Two people grow up together and fall in love. The boy confesses his love for the girl but the girl is unsure of what to say, even when she loves him too. Yet due to avoidable circumstances, the boy leaves the girl, still waiting for her answer."

Mei paused and put a finger on her chin. "Only Kiku doesn't like me and I wouldn't push him away if kissed me. Hmm, he's six years older instead of four. Oh, and we were a little older when we met. We weren't orphans either. The boy died in a plane crash after that, too." After considering that possibility, Mei's eyes widened. She took Kimmy by both shoulders. "Kimmy, you don't think Kiku would die any moment right now, would you?!"

Mei reads too much manga XD

[lotusvivi]

" Huh?" Kim blinked, and looked at Mei, after the girl told her this story. Seriously, that girl had such an imagination!

" What? No! Of course not!" she said. " Are you nuts?" she felt like bapping the girl on the head for even thinking this.

She also watches too much dramas.

[hwamei]

Kim had a point. She was going too far, what with thinking that Kiku might get involved in a car accident on his way to his new home miles away. How silly of her to even begin to consider that! There was no way that would happen. Coming to her senses, Mei took her hands off Kim and placed them on her lap. "Oh, haha, you're right. I should stay positive."

Her fingers ran along the edges of the envelope in her hand, then the heart she had drawn on the flap. It was so fifth grade, like the card she made Zhi for Valentine's, but Mei hoped that her feelings were sure to reach Kiku this time. "I'm going to ask Feli if Kiku left his new address with him."

A small smile made its way on Mei's face.

'S time for bubble tea and chocolates! 8D

[lotusvivi]

It was rather heartbreaking seeing Mei like this. And since Kim had never really been through the same, it was a bit difficult to come up with some way to comfort her. But the only thing she could think of, was just being honest.

" If a guy doesn't realize what a great girl you are, he's not worth chasing after." she said, and took Mei's hand, pulling her up. " Come on. I got bubble tea." she said and went inside with her friend and her suitcase.

Aaaaand we're done?

[hwamei]

"But what if he does realize and he just hasn't--"

Mei jumped at the mention of the words bubble tea. Her favorite! Kimmy always knows how to cheer her up. She followed Kim into the apartment, feeling ten thousand times happier than she did a minute ago.

"Ooh, I want extra tapioca!"

After we find the two dorks in the closet >8D

[lotusvivi]

Seeing Mei cheer up at the mention of her favorite drink in the whole world, Kim smiled and shook her head. Bubble tea, the number one liquid in Mei's book.

She had remembered when they were kids, and they'd had this arguement over which drink was better, Bubble tea or orange soda ( which was Kim's favorite).

" Toni? Romano? You home?" she called through the apartment.

Totally not my fault >.> Just throwing that out there XD

[italian_honour]

Romano woke seconds before Kim had called for them, and for those few blissful seconds he had completely forgotten where he was or what had happened.
However it had only taken an innocent shift of what he'd ignorantly believed was a mattress beneath him for everything to come flooding back.

He was lying on Antonio, the Spaniard's arm around him, sometime during the night his hand had slipped through the buttons of his friend's shirt....
...and Kim was about to walk in on them.

Fuck.Fuck.Fuck.Fuck.

To say Romano panicked would be an understatement, the colour rushing to his cheeks almost as fast as it took for his hand to recoil from under Antonio's shirt. The Italian scrambled back, pushing himself off the other and crawling to the other side of the closet.

How he just wanted to turn over and go back to sleep, but that was hardly possible now.

Everyone know's better Lovi, just give up the fight <3

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio frowned deeply and his brow furrowed at the sudden loss of such a comfortable warmth. He hadn't woken up since Romano's actions had been mostly silent, but his instinctively curled up. The spanish man brought his arms to his chest, crossing them over one another and brought his knees to his chest. He rolled onto his side and his frown grew.

However, after shifting into an attempt at a comfortable position, he quickly fell back into a deeper sleep once more. He needed as much sleep as he could get seeing as he had been running himself into the ground lately with the amount he had been working.

"nn Lovi" his voice was barely audible and the other man's name came out as nothing more than a whiney whisper.
