{oneshot} Letter To God
Dear God in Heaven,
My name is Yabuki Hayato. I am seven years old.
This is my tenth letter. I rewrote them over and over because I kept writing the wrong spelling and sometimes my handwritting turned messy and became unreadable. Miss Inoe told me to rewrite it again, so I wrote a new letter again.
It’s my teacher, Miss Inoe, who told us to write a letter to God. Oh, that means this letter is for You, am I right ? Please read this letter by yourself. Don’t even let Your angels take a peek ! I want this letter to be a special secret between us.
Miss Inoe told us to write anything we like. She told us to tell You any problems we have, so You could help us to solve them. She also said that we could ask for world peace, something about feeding the hungry ones and stop war somewhere far away from here.
Well, I didn’t want to ask You for something I didn’t even really understand. My friends agreed with me. Take said he want to write You a wish so he could grow bigger and taller. Tsuchi Wait, they also write letters to you so I won’t write about them. You must read their letters to know their own problems, okay…!
Ah, and don’t tell Miss Inoe that I strike my sentences, okay God ? I was too lazy to erase them! Just pretend You didn’t see them. Don’t ever, ever tell Miss Inoe about it or she will tell me to rewrite on another blank paper and start the letter all over again.
I won’t tell you about my family. You already know that I have a Dad, a Mom and a younger brother right? I wished for a puppy, but Dad say no… Could you tell him to let me have one, pretty pretty pleaseeee ?
Oh, I forgot my real wish. So let me tell You now : it’s about Ryu. Yes, Odagiri Ryu. He is my classmate. He is so cute, and I love him so much. Ryu loves me too, and we often play together. It’s so fun! Sometimes I wish that time would stop flowing so we could be together forever. I want to be with him all the time, but it is impossible since both of us live in different houses.
That’s why I told him that after we got older and become adults, I would marry him. Then we could live together in a big house, along with a puppy !
Ryu hugged me after that, and we made a vow. Yeah, a vow! Not an ordinary promise, but a vow. So we would remember about it no matter what and make it happen in the future.
But when Miss Inoe heard about it, she called us to her office. She scolded us and told that our vow was impossible. She said it wasn’t right and You would hate us because of it. Is it true, God? You would hate me and Ryu because we love each other and vowed that we would marry and live together?
Isn’t it right to marry the one we love and live together so we would live happily ever after? What’s wrong with it? Please tell me, God.
Miss Inoe also scolds us everytime Ryu and I hug each other. She told us not to hug or kiss each other, because both of us were boys and it is a sin if we do that again. She said we shouldn’t love each other, because love is only between a boy and a girl.
Dear God, I’m so confused. Shouldn’t people love each other? Why did Miss Inoe tell us that it’s only allowed between a boy and a girl ? Is it wrong for a boy to love another boy? Tell me why… please, God?
I really love Ryu. And Ryu said that he loves me too, he loves me the most. So why can’t we be together? Miss Inoe even moved his chair so far away from mine now, and forbid us to play together. We didn’t listen to her, of course. We would play together when she’s not around. Oh, please make this our secret too. Don’t ever tell her, okay God ?
Dear God, please tell Miss Inoe to let us play together like before? It’s okay if You don’t tell my Dad about the puppy. I am fine with not having it. I will wait until You let me have one. I promise that I will eat less candy too. I will brush my teeth properly. I will wash my face, hands and feet well. I will eat the vegetables I hate too. I won’t complain about them anymore.
So please, God. Please grant me my wish. I only wish for one thing. Just let me and Ryu be together. All I want is him. Only him, only Ryu. Am I so selfish if I asked for him? Am I really a bad boy for loving Ryu…? Will you hate me, will you hate us like Miss Inoe said?
Miss Sae said that You are an almighty God. She also said that You are a loving God who love us no matter what, so I believed her. That You would love me and Ryu no matter what.
So please please please God… Please bless me with Ryu. Please don’t hate us because both of us are boys and we love each other. Let us marry in the future, so we could live together in a big house and have a puppy together.
Please grant it. And I won’t ask You for anything again.
Okay God? Please please please. I promise I will be a good boy.
Oh, this is the end of my letter. Make sure only you read it. Keep my letter in a safe place, okay God! And don’t tell anyone about the things I wrote! Thanks for reading my letter, God. I love you! Not as much I love Ryu though.
