Feelings

Everyday I see you
Everyday I talk to you
Will you ever notice?

" -chan!!!"
turned around to a familiar face. "Aa... Oishi-kun, doshite?"
"What are you doing here?" he smiled warmly at her
"Anou, I was looking for Syuusuke..." she smiled and blushed a little.
"Aa... He just left..."
turned a looked down on the ground.
"It's not too late, you can still catch up on him." he said before he left.

walked out the school gates, there she caught a familiar sight. "Syuusuke!" called a feminine voice.
Fuji Syuusuke turned and smiled.
"Kisa!" he waved.
The girl ran up to him and gave him a hug. felt her heartbreaking.
’Wait, maybe they're just friends...But, they looked so happy together...’ She thought as she watched them nervously.
"Let's go on a date!"
The sudden voice aroused her from her thoughts...She felt her heart shatter into a million pieces.

She looked at them and let out a heavy sigh and walked past them, keeping a distance. ‘I should have told him earlier. Why did I keep it in?’
" -chan?"

She turned her head to the call.
"Where were you this morning? You left your notebook with me yesterday" smiled Fuji warmly as he passed her notebook to her.
"I... I was busy" she smiled weakly as she took the book, giving Kisa a short glance before looking away.
"Arigatou..."
"Ne... Syuusuke. Who is she?" Kisa said as she grabbed hold of Fuji's hand dragging him closer to her.
"Ah, she's just a friend of mine..." he smiled sweetly to Kisa.  Hearing those words felt herself fall apart.
"G-gomen! I have to go!"

ran as fast as her legs could take her.
" !!!" Fuji called.
She ignored his call and ran.  ‘Why? Why didn't I tell him?’
"Just a friend..." the words echoed to her head.  She finally stopped in front of a park, her heart was breaking.  Tears slowly moved down her cheeks but she wiped them away.  She wasn’t going to cry over this.

Today is just a day, just an ordinary day...

strolled in the park alone. Her soft long hair swayed by her side as the warm summer breeze blew. There was no one in that park today, so she was all alone. Only the sound of her soft foot steps and the birds chirping could be heard. She approached the dull colored swings and sat there. Her mind spinning, so many thoughts were rushing through at once.  She hung her head as she slowly pushed off the ground and let the swing move slowly back and forth.

" -chan!".  Startled by the voice she looked up. "Syuusuke?"
She blinked blankly at the boy in front of her.  His chest was heaving…had he been running?.

‘Why is he here? Shouldn't he be with her?’  She thought bitterly, feeling her tears threatening to return.
"I've been looking everywhere for you..." he panted, bending over with his hands on his knees. With a sigh Fuji and sat down in front of her.
"Why?" her tears were building up, "Shouldn't you be practicing?" she turned away from him.

Fuji stared at her and sighed sheepishly. "I wanted to talk you..." he finally said.
turned back to him, still holding back her tears. "What is it?" she said in a small voice.
"Anou, earlier today... Why did you avoid me?"
"It's nothing..." she shrugged and hung her head low.
"Why did you run after I spoke to Kisa?"

Hearing that name couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She sat there and cried. Her crystal warm tears slid down her small face. She shook her head wanting the tears to stop.  Her eyes opened when she suddenly felt warmth all over her. Fuji was holding her, her head pressed to his stomach.  Her face heated up as he lifted her chin up and wiped her tears. He stared down into her brown eyes, "I understand..." he said softly.

stood up slowly looking into his beautiful blue eyes.  Fuji smiled as he ran his hand through her hair, stroking her gently and smiled warmly. looked up and smiled slightly... ‘I need to tell him, now before I chicken out.’
"Syuusuke, I--" she started, only to be stopped by Fuji. Placing his slender fingers on her small lips he hushed her.
"You don't have to say it... I know." he smiled and hugged her tight.  Resting her head on his warm chest, she slid her hands to his back and held him.

Fuji then let out a small laugh. "After all this time, I never noticed... I kept my feelings inside. Locked up"
held him tighter "I tried...to keep it in..  I really tried, but-- I just couldn't..." she cried into his chest.
"... ..."
"I-- I love you too much to let you go" she confessed.
Fuji was silent. He never said a word but he just held her in his arms. cried...’Why is he silent?’

" ..."
She looked up, with tears streaming down her face.
"Daisuki..."
He whispered into her ears. closed her eyes and she felt Fuji's fingers move past her lips and something warmer and softer moving on her lips instead.

Today is just a day, just an ordinary day but not anymore...
