Notice something new? Yeah, my header! (>_<) Do you like it? I thought of adding the solos of each member from their 5x10 concerts. Also, the picture of them kind of fits my livejournal. They're reading magazines and you guys read my fanfictions. Is there a connection? Anyways, I'm posting up a one-shot today and it has Ohno! I just uploaded my new userpic. It kind of looks like a beware poster... Lol. Beware of Riida! Known as the ferocious Ohno Satoshi! XP
I hope you like this one-shot. Its short but so sweet. You'll have to wait for the next chapter of Winter Tears in a few days. (^_^)

“Why are you always eating an apple?” I asked Oh-chan. Ohno Satoshi was my next door neighbor and we used to hang out in the park that was across from my house. He was my greatest friend and my first crush. I couldn’t help to resist his cute smile and facial expressions.
“My mom told me that apples are good for me.” He looked at me and smiled. I giggled and shook my head. “Do you always do what your mother tells you to do?” I asked him.
He looked up at the sky and twitched his mouth, like he was thinking really hard about my question. He shook his head and then he nodded his head to me. “I don’t know…”
I laughed. He looked at me and laughed along with me. “Are you free tomorrow? I want to go to the arcade.” I said excitedly.
He shook his head and said. “I have to go to a practice tomorrow. How about we go to the arcade next week?” I nodded my head and stuck out my pinky finger. “Promise?”
He looked at my finger and then he smiled. We promised to each other that we would go to the arcade together.
“Satoshi! It’s time for supper.” We turned our heads to see Ohno’s mother who was standing in front of the inn that his family was staying at. Ohno smiled and threw the apple in the garbage bin. “Well, see you later Mizuki-chan.” I smiled and waved good-bye to him, while he was running to his house.
I stared at the sunset that was slowly moving downwards like the trees were eating it. I smiled and sighed. I didn’t know that my friend was going to disappear from my life after a simple job.
As days, months and years passed by, Ohno and I never went to the arcade. I felt lonely and depressed, my friend abandoned me for the spotlight. He was busy with shows, stage plays and singing that we never hanged out with each other in the park since that day.

“I’m sure he is busy with his career, how about you wait tomorrow? Surely he will give you your present in person.” My mother assured me. It was my 17th birthday and I wanted Ohno to celebrate my birthday with me. Instead of celebrating with me, he was busy with his work. I cried for the whole night and I couldn’t go to school the next day because I looked like a panda. My eyes were bright red and my face was swollen from not getting enough sleep.
I waited at my door until Ohno would show up to say “Happy Birthday Mizuki-chan” to me. Unfortunately, he was too busy that his mother had to drop my present in front of my front door.
I was disappointed, sad, angry and depressed. I just lost my greatest friend. I closed my heart for Ohno and became best friends with other people in my school.
As time passed, Ohno’s family was going to move back to Tokyo because of his career. I sat in the park, looking at the trees moving as the wind passed by. I smiled and took a bite of my apple.
“How come you’re eating an apple?” I turned my head to see Ohno walking towards me. I smiled and chuckled. “I like the flavor of apples..” He chuckled and sat down beside me.
“I’m going back to Tokyo tomorrow.” He whispered to me as he looked out into the sky. I nodded my head slowly and said. “I know.”
Ohno nodded his head slowly and started to play with the grass. “I’m going to miss you.” I whispered to him. He looked up at me and I turned my head to him. I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
“Oh-chan, have fun in Tokyo. It will be lonely without you here in Kyoto.” I got up and cleaned the dirt off of my pants. I smiled and started to walk away.
I slowly came to a stop and smiled to myself. I pulled out something from my pocket and threw it to him. “Catch!” He tossed his back behind him and caught an apple that was from my pocket. “It’s my farewell give to you.” He smiled and giggled. “Ohno-kun, never change and I hope I will see you later in the future.” He nodded his head and then he bowed his head to me. I giggled and started to walk to my house.

A few years after, I decided to move to Tokyo as well. I had to move because there weren’t a lot of jobs in Kyoto. I moved into a small apartment near the train station. So, I didn't have to walk a far distance to go to work.
As I was walking into train station to catch my train, I accidently bumped into someone. My papers and files were scattered across the dirty floor. “Ah!” I shouted. I started to quickly pick up my things before someone steps on them.
“Gomenasai!” I heard someone talking to me. I gave a friendly smile and said. “It’s okay.” Then the person started to help me pick up the papers. The papers were collected and he handed them to me.
We both looked up at each other and widened our eyes. I felt like that everything around me was moving slowly. I couldn’t believe that I met him again. I blinked my eyes and said. “Oh-chan?” He slowly nodded his head and smiled. “It’s nice to see you again, Mizuki-chan.”
Apparently, we needed to go on the same train. We sat beside each other and we started to talk about our lives.
I pulled out a water bottle from my purse and then Ohno pulled out a banana. “Why do you have a banana?” I asked him. He started to rub his stomach and smiled. “My mother told me bananas are good for me.” I giggled and shook my head.
I was happy that Ohno had never changed ever since we lived in Kyoto.
