The field is green and beautiful, the sky is always blue, and I lay next to you on this meadow of flowers. A never ending time between the two of us, a special yet, unfamiliar bond that we share.
You say that I can have this place to myself, but what kind of offer is that, if you're not here. Because you're here, that's the reason I'm also here. Truly, such a cruel offer.
You look so defenseless right now, I wonder if I step the boundary that we have, will you push me away and say that I can't be here anymore? Or will you still accept me? Being kind isn't always a good virtue. But that's why I like you so much.
"Ahh!...It's almost time for us to depart." You say that with a gloomy smile. Why are you like this, always smiling and hiding things from me. We've known each other for a long time and yet, you still don't say anything to me.
"Wait." I'm trying to figure something out for the both of us so "Lets watch the night sky before you go, this is the last time that we'll both watch it together. Is that alright with you?" Haa...I'm shaking, ha...ha, who would have thought I'll be this nervous at you right now.
"Hmm...Okay, let's watch it together, one last time."
*Thump* *thump.
" UhHhm, Yeah, thanks"
Really, I'm glad that you accepted and I'm so glad that the sky is setting right now, So you can't see that I'm blushing like a tomato.
"You look quite happy? Are you really that happy that we get to spend more time before I go? Don't worry, I'll always keep in touch with you, my dearest friend."
"Whatever." I turned to face the sky and thought to myself..
Dearest friend? I guess that's what I'll ever be to you, you're dearest friend. There is nothing to be sad about, just be grateful that she considers you as her dear friend. It's alright...This is for the best.
"Hey, are you sleeping right now? You're always sleepy. If you sleep here and bring someone else with you, they might take advantage of you. So you better be careful, when I'm not around anymore, okay?"
Ha...ha..ha..What? So are you saying that it's okay for me to bring someone else here, In this place that we say is ours!?? Ridiculous...
"You're joking right?" I feel irritated.
"I knew you were awake!. And no, I'm not joking when I said that you need to be careful when I'm not here anymore."
That's–! I really wanted to keep calm about this but, I can't. I bursted.
"That- That's not what I'm talking about!"
"Eh!?, why are you–"
I stood up
"What I'm talking about is the fact that you said that I'll be bringing "someone else" here with me and that you are okay with that! Is that really okay to you!? You say that as if you don't care that someone else is here!and that...you don't care that I will be here with another person... instead of you..."
"Shuna I– I don't-"
" I...have loved you for a long time, Miya. And I know that you don't feel the same way but please!,*drip*drip. "don't act like what had happened here and what we did before was nothing. We can't replace the precious memories, the bonds, and trust, and time we have here."
Why did I tell her about my feelings? Why am I like this? I'm so selfish! I guess this will be over, I can't stop crying. I hate this...
"You lov– Shun, I love this place more than anything and the time we spend here will always be precious to me. And... I'm not that okay with you being with anyone else but me here, but, we need to move forward and face what will happen in the near future. And I can't say that we need to forget about the past, but be happy, remember and cherish that they happened, we will always be keeping these memories in our hearts forever. So stop crying."
This...Really you, say that and yet.
"You're crying too, Miya. What is it that you really want Miya, you can tell me, I'm you're friend after all."
I asked her, as tears fall down from our eyes.
*Drip*drip*drip
"Hk–waahhhh!!! I don't wanna go, I wanna stay here, waaahh, it's so faAhaar– hwk– aaahhwhhh! Why can't I just stay here, I don't want to go, I don't want to! Uwaaahaa! I'm so selfish but, I can't help it!"
You finally said it. And you're not selfish at all Miya, I'm the one who is selfish. For me wanting to be with you, that is my selfishness.
"Cry all you want, it's okay, let it all out."
You're right, and I shouldn't be selfish either. I will become someone that you can rely on more and become stronger, so that I can prove that I can protect you and be by your side.
—— A few Hours Later——
"The moon is quite beautiful tonight, Miya."
"Mhhmm...yeah. Thanks...Shun."
This is fine, but now it's time.
"Shall we go now M'lady?" I reach out my hand to Miya– no to M'lady Amelia. This is my place, in this society.
"Being so formal is not cute, Well then let's go, my humble servant."
The day we met in this field filled with meadows of flowers, had changed my life completely. From being a common person, and to being a servant to someone, to being a friend of someone as noble as her.
" I'm greatful that I met you.– !! "
Those weren't meant to be said. I made a mistake.
"What I meant is–
" I'm greatful too."
"I see.....
Right, just being by your side is enough for me.
