Summary: Ryo and Tatsuya met when they were children and became inseparable since.


”Mama! Can I please go play in the sandbox? Can I, can I, can I please?!!!” I pleaded to my mommy and showed my puppy dog eyes just so that she can’t say no.

“Hai, hai…You can go play in the sandbox Ryo-chan, but remember to be nice to other children,” Mama told me.

“Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Thank you mama! I love you!” I ran towards the sandbox after giving my mama a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

When I arrived at the sandbox, I was alone. No one else was in the sandbox so I decided to make a big castle. I was already half-way to my castle when someone tapped me on my shoulder.

“Ano, may I play with you? I also wanted to make a castle and decided to just help you instead,” The other boy asked.

“Sure! My name is Ryo. I’m 8 years old, and my mommy is the one sitting on that yellow bench near the blue trashcan, you?”

“I’m Tatsuya, 9 years old, and my mom is somewhere here.”

“Hai… I’ll call you Tat-chan. So Tat-chan let’s finish this castle together!” I told my new playmate.

When Tat-chan was getting into the sandbox, he tripped and fell face forward into the unfinished castle. I started laughing hard because it was funny, but then I thought maybe he was hurt so I went near him.

“Tat-chan, daijoubu? Are you hurt anywhere? I’m sorry for laughing at you. Please don’t cry,” I told him because I thought I saw tears in his eyes.

I walked towards him because I felt so guilty that I wanted to hug him just like what mama does when I’m sad. When I got near him, I embraced him but then I felt Tat-chan shaking.

“Ne Tatsuya, are you sure you’re alright?” I asked him while looking at his face.

“Ryo-kun, why are you hugging me?” Tat-chan asked suddenly.

“Eh? My mama is always hugging me when I am sad,” I said while letting go from the embrace.

“Oh! I should thank you then, and I will show you how my mom says her thanks,” Tatsuya said while getting closer. He then placed a kiss on my cheek.

“Tatsuya! We need to go now, it’s already getting late,” a pretty woman called out.

“Hai~!” Tat-chan answered. “I’ll see you tomorrow Ryo-kun!” Tat-chan said before running to his mother.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ryo~! Wake up. Ryo-chan, wake up! NISHIKIDO RYO I TOLD YOU TO WAKE UP!!!!”

“unghh… Hai hai, I’m up! No need to shout Tatsuya!”

“Well, if you woke up when I first called you which was about ten minutes ago, then I would not have shouted,” Tatsuya stated before pouting and crossing his arms.

“Gomen ne~ I’ll make it up to you by buying you ice cream after I take a bath,” I told him and he brightened up instantly.

“What are you waiting for? Come on, go take your bath. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs,” he said before going out of the room.

After making sure that Tatsuya will not come back, I got up from my bed and headed to the bathroom. I had a quick shower knowing that Tatsuya does not want to be kept waiting. I chuckled at that thought because even though we met nearly ten years ago, Tatsuya is still the same Tatsuya I met back then, meaning he had not changed too much.

“Tatsuya~!” I called out from inside the bathroom hoping that he will hear me even when he is downstairs. When I heard some footsteps inside my room, I knew that he had heard me.

“Hai?”

“May you please get some clothes for me? I forgot to get some before getting a shower.”

“Really? I can?” I could hear the excitement in his voice, though I don’t understand why.

“Yeah, why can’t you? You have been getting clothes for me for a lot of occasions already.”

“Ummm..well, yeah. It just makes me happy that you trust me enough to let me go through your cabinet. Who knows what I see there,” He said while handing me the clothes.

“And what can be there?” I asked him while putting on my clothes.

“Well, you are a teenager, I don’t know. Porn I guess,” he said with a straight face, but his eyes were laughing.

“Why should I have porn? Porn is for people who are perverted. And I am the least bit perverted,” I defended myself.

“Woah! I was just kidding Ryo-chan! Don’t be so serious all the time. Maybe that is the reason why you never had a girlfriend that lasts for more than two weeks.”

“That is not the reason. I am not serious all the time, and you should be the first person who should know that. And my girlfriends never last for very long because they are not the right ones. I am still waiting for that one person who will love me for who I am,” I told him while looking straight into his eyes.

We then agreed to drop that subject and decided to walk around the park.

“Ne Tatsuya, do you remember when we first met?”

“Of course I do! We met here in this park so long ago. How many years has it been since then?”

“Ten years already on this day,” I said while smiling softly at the memory of our first meeting.

“I remember that I was making a sandcastle all by myself when you came asking if I want some company in making the sandcastle.”

“Yeah. Ryo, did I ever tell you that it was the first time I talked to anyone outside my family?” I was shocked at Tatsuya’s revelation, and at the same time touched because I was his first friend.

“No, you never did. I am much honored to be your first friend, and to be your best friend since we met,” I told him truthfully, but with a pang in my heart because I know that I want him as more than that.

“I don’t know why, you just seemed so focused in making that sandcastle I did not even know if you would let me help, but something told me that you would,” he stated while absently looking into the clouds.

Without having a destination in mind, we just absently walked around the park until our feet led us to the very same sandbox where we first met. It was now abandoned because the children play with the sandbox at the other side of the park and not here anymore.

“Tatsuya, do you want to finish that sandcastle we started?”

He did not reply, but he did nod vigorously and gave me a smile which always makes my knees weak.

“Ryo-chan, how come we never did try to finish that sandcastle?” Tatsuya asked while concentrating on making the sandcastle.

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because we never found the time, or it was never the right time to finish it,” I replied.

“What do you mean by that? When you said that it was never the right time to finish it?” Tatsuya asked, anticipating my answer and temporarily forgot about the sandcastle.

“Nothing really. I just think that today is the time that we should finish this sandcastle,” I shrugged as I answered.

We were almost done with our sandcastle when Tatsuya found something.

“Ryo look at this! This is just a sandbox and not a beach, but someone placed a message in a bottle and placed it here. Should we open it?” He looked at me with those puppy dog eyes of his and I can’t just say no to that.

“Yay~! So let’s see,” Tatsuya opened the bottle and started to read.

”Dear Tatsuya, you finding this means that we are almost done with our unfinished sandcastle,” Tatsuya started.

“Ryo, what is this? What is the meaning of this?” Tatsuya asked, confusion written all over his face.

“Ummm…just read on,” I told him while I mentally faced-palm myself for forgetting that I left a letter for Tatsuya in this sandbox. And he did read on after I spoke.

”Dear Tatsuya, you finding this letter means that we are almost done with our unfinished sandcastle. Did you know that I was tempted too many times to finish this sandcastle, but I always found myself being lost because you were not there with me. I do not know when it exactly happened, but I could not find it inside me to finish anything when your not here beside me. I know that you must be confused right now with all that I am telling you, but when you read this know that I am by your side always. I mean, I really really like you Tatsuya. More than friends, I have felt this way about you for a long time now. I know that you may not feel the same way about me, but I just wanted you to know how I feel. This sandcastle is nothing without you. I am like the sandcastle, I am nothing without you. I really like you. From Nishikido Ryo.”

When Tatsuya finished reading my letter to him, I faced against him and closed my eyes fearing his response.

“Ryo,” Tatsuya said softly. “Look at me please,” he said and I obeyed.

When I looked at his face, I did not see the frown that I was expecting, but a very big smile on his face.

“Ryo, I have something to confess. I really like you too! I may even be in love with you for a long time already, so I am very surprised and happy that you feel the same way too,” Tatsuya suddenly hugged me tightly.

“Really?” I asked, not really believing my ears.

“Yes!”

And with that one word, I did something that I have wanted to do for so long. I kissed him. I kissed Ueda Tatsuya, my best friend for ten years, and the love of my life. It was the best kiss I had because for once it was with someone I’m in love with, and because it was in front of our sandcastle which is finally complete.

“Like the sandcastle, I am now complete after all these years,” I murmured into Tatsuya’s ear and tightened my arms around him.
