Ruki’s POV
I was always watching you from afar, too afraid to approach you. Wherever you were, I would constantly keep a great distance between us, hiding myself, and had made sure that you would not notice me. During lunch, you would sit with your group of friends in the school yard, joking and fooling around.
Today was the same routine; I watched you from a meter away, behind the tree, as you lunched with friends. I could not help but sigh in bliss as your alluring smile appeared followed by the angelic laughter. My heart could not stop fluttering like a butterfly in flight.
I continued watching you to find the ever cute and endearing you. With the twinkle in your eyes, the crinkles at the corner of your eyes with your smile or your button nose with your toothy grin. Maybe it was the way your blonde hair shines under the sun or your childish actions that contradicts your continuous proclaims of being ‘manly’ that strive to make me wag my tail crazy, if I ever had one. It felt as though a kid was given a secret to safekeep.
I closed my eyes and rested my face on the back of my palm that was placed on the trunk, letting out a giggle. I must have giggled too loud for when I had my eyes opened again you were looking in my direction. I ducked behind the tree and hid myself from your view, my chest heaved heavily, and my heart pounding against my ribcage loudly as if I had just ran a mile. As I slid down the tree, I took many deep breaths, my hand clutching the front of my shirt, close to my heart. Resting my head on the trunk behind me, staring up into the swaying leaves, I recalled the first time we met.
I was walking down the hallway with my nose buried deep into a science book, being the usual nerd I was in the school. However, I was not a stereotypical one. Though I wore thick black rimmed spectacle that slides down most of the time, I was dressed in stylish black tops and pink pants clothes with my hair dyed bright blonde that was so bright that it was almost white. In short, I am a fashionable nerd who would bury himself into non-fictional books and would pay no heed to his surroundings.
I was on my way down the empty hallway to my locker, but being too absorbed into wanting to know more beyond the textbooks, I did not hear the stampede from behind me and was knocked down by an elephant with result of my book being thrown out of my grasp and my spectacles landing somewhere around me. It wheezed an apology out before running off, leaving me to fumble around for my lost glasses.
As I crawled on the floor, not conscience about my pink clad ass wriggling in the air, in search for my items, I was unaware of the footsteps that approached me and stopped. A deep rich voice sounded and I halted my search and sat back on my heels as I looked up. A blurry figure came into my view, which pushed my spectacle into my right hand, so I quickly put in on. I was about to thank the kind soul when words died in my throat.
Reita was the drop dead gorgeous hunk, the school’s soccer team captain and the most wanted man in this high school. Needless to say, I was as infatuated in you like the rest of the school was. You were the only being that caught my attention away from my books. My eyes were like boiled goldfish, wide opened; my mouth was opening and closing with no words coming out and my cheeks were flaming tomato red. A spark of electric went down my spine at the accidental touch of your fingers as you handed me my book.
“See you around Ruki,” was all you said before you strode off in the charming way that only you can pull off. That angel was all I could think of before I passed out in glee.
I cupped my burning cheeks and twisted left to the right and to the left again and mentally cheered like how fangirls would do in anime, with the ‘X ‘ and the ‘3’. I fanned myself with my hands to calm myself down before peeking out from behind the tree again, only to find my view obstructed by a pair of black skinny jeans. I tilted my head back and found you staring down at me, making me coil back in shock. I could not stop the small ‘Eep’ that escape my mouth as you moved closer, causing me to scramble to my feet, fleeing back into the school building.
For the subsequent days, you seemed to be everywhere where I was. Nevertheless, I was busy scurrying away from you when I’m not absorbed in my books, determined to keep a distance between us. Many would have been jubilant if you were to approach them, but I am not them. You are the popular, while I am the nerd. As stylish as I could get, I am still a nerd after all. Without my realization, my infatuation had slowly into love.
I, Matsumoto Ruki, had fallen in love with Suzuki Reita. However, the popular would never fall for the nerd, and the nerd would never match the popular. I could never become one of the popular, for my life was nothing but books. Thus, I would be content with just the tiny chances to watch you every day in this school, until graduation.
Too absorbed in my penny of thoughts, I did not notice you approaching me in the empty classroom I was in.
“Why do you keep running away from me?”
I stood and spun in your direction. My chair scraped across the cement noisily, my breath erratic. My hands were clammy with cold sweat and I wiped down on my pink pants. I could hear you drawing nearer to me as my head remained bowed down, my hair obstructing my view. My nervousness grew as you came closer and closer to me. I fidgeted in my spot, playing with the hem of my cardigan. I could feel the chill running down my spine as I gulped deeply. Your shoes soon came to my vision and I shut my eyes tightly, afraid to see you. Then, a calloused warm hand cupped my chin, pulling my face up into his vision.
I tensed slightly in surprise as your lips pressed to mine, moving so softly and gently. Your face was so close to mine that I could see every fine detail of your face - the smooth slightly tanned skin of your face, the neat rows of plucked eyebrow, the long lashes of your eyes that casted shadow on the bottom of your eyes and the roundness of your nose. I could feel your tongue nudging between my lips and I let you. My eyes fluttered shut and I was lead into the kiss, my arms locked behind the back of your neck as I stood on tip toe, pulling the both of us closer to each other.
Our kiss deepened as our tongues battled with each other, exploring each other’s mouth. Reluctantly, we had finally pulled apart for the need of oxygen that could not be denied any longer, but still stayed close to each other. Our breathings were irregular as we stared into each other’s eyes. You planted a kiss on the top of my head and said something that took my breath away entirely.
“I love you.”
1287 words. I’m rather satisfied with this. I’d wanted to write base off “Kiss Kaerimichi no Love Song”, one of the theme song to the anime “Lovely Complex”. However, with Kochouran from Discotheque enter and exit by alice nine. playing repeated, I searched frantically for the translation for that song and wrote base off that song. It’s a lovely song ^^ Hope you enjoyed this and please comment!
And uh, a big thank you for my beta 8D;; thanks for going through my horrible english XD;;
