Howl's moving castle

Warning: angst, short??

__________________________

Alot of things changed since Sophie came to the castle.

Cleaner a ton that's 4 sure.

But besides that.. it's been really lively around here, I really appreciate her.

I thought she was just an old granny, but it seems that the witch of waste did indeed cast a curse on her.

I realized she turns back to her young self at night, but breaking it off....maybe true love kiss?

Like when Tianna kissed the frog Prince..and with true love kiss Tianna and prince Naveen turned back humans..

Me. M/n is best friends with Howl since... Diapers! Hah

I know everything 'bout him and so does he.

We're always together, Unseperatable.

Protective of each other. We never fell short to the other's need.

But when SHE came in the pic... everything's just ..changed.

Like it hasn't been more than a year..but now he won't even notice that I've been gone for a whole two damn days.

They've been having fun an' all.

I know I shouldn't feel like this...

..Who am I kidding? It's obvious as the sun. I'm just in denial.

"Hey. You're here? Didn't know.." Howl asked as he sat down next to me.

'Ofc you didn't. You're too busy hanging around with that lady.'

But I can't say that out loud now can I? So I just-

"Hm. What a coincidence."

"Right? Must be fate.."

"Fate huh? That's crazy."

Howl chuckled and looked at me saying "how you've been doing?"

"Couldn't be any more happier "

"Really? Did something happen?" He asked as I looked at him "...."

"??" He gazed back at me with a questioning look, tilting his head slightly.

'Was that him trying to be cute or he's normally like this?...he never did this before'

"I suppose so." I answered him

' Something Indeed did happen. I opened a floral shop. I told him, I even made an opening celebration, but he didn't come. ...could've guessed, his lover is top priority now.'

"Really??? And what is it?" He grinned at me. God how much I hate it now..not only the fact he grinned innocently which proves me that he didn't listen to a word I said when I used to talk to him but he didn't come to congratulate me even.

Maybe I'm overreacting, and this is no excuse for me to get angry at him. But this mad feeling that I'm experiencing is really...hurtful.

I bit my lip in a frown, which I could tell that it confused him by his expression changing.

"I opened a floral shop, two weeks ago. But I guess you're too busy with your love life hm? How is she btw? We all live in the same castle as a family..but I don't see any of you much."

"A floral shop?..oh." 'seems like now he remembered. What a jerk.' 

Hawl looks down and then gazes back at me "I'm sorry. I truly am! You don't even know-"

"It's alright Howl, really. Just try to focus with me while am talking to you and stop thinking about your lover for a second." I hate the lover word now so much.

He reddens. As much as I love to see Him flustered, but I don't think I like the thought of him flustering because of another girl and I can't help but feel this lingering ugly feeling inside me.

I have to accept it, He's way too gone from me.

I lost this war and Sophie won without even knowing she's in one.

Guess this is what it meant be an angel, she is indeed a saint.

I smile bitterly at him and turn my heel wanting to leave, maybe a bath will do.

"I'll visit your floral shop!..I should've been by your side-"

"But you weren't."

"I'm sorry alright? I was busy ith something!" He replied desperately

'yea your girlfriend.'
"Alright Howl. It's okay, I already said that I forgave you."

Howl gazed at m/n with slight happiness and relief but that sad emotion is still lingering there 'why aren't you looking back at me?' as he stepped forward hurriedly and hugged m/n from behind, wrapping his arms around his torso, burying his head in m/n's neck.

'i hate that I love this feeling. His hot breath trailing on my neck, I love him so much, But he doesn't. This is a lost cause...'

I turned around and hugged him back which clearly made Howl happier, resting his head in the crook of my neck and took a sniff "you smell like chocolate & mint.."

"Is that good or..?" I trailed as he hugged me tighter..ah this gave me the answer.

"Can I sleep with you today?" Thank god he can't see my face.
I can't refuse, he'll know something is wrong..I never refused before.

And I let go.

"I bet Sophie is waiting for you, you shouldn't make a lady wait, Howl. If I didn't know better I'd say you're hitting on me." Attempting to joke as I chuckle bitterly, I hate this.

Howl frowned " Why are you including her in this?  it's okay, It's just tonight. Nothing will go wrong, Sophie will understand! I promise!" Howl said as he snatched your hands with his "please?"

He's practically begging at this point..

But I didn't have to reason with him, for Sophie came up to the balcony by herself, saving me.

"Ah! Howl and ..m/n." She smiled "I was searching for you everywhere! Didn't know both of you are hanging out here!"

What an angel.

"It's alright Sophie..no worries you can sleep with your lover, I have work tomorrow and should go sleep early." I smiled and winked at her as she blushed at the word 'lover'.

"But m/n! I wanted to-!" Howl wanted to say but I cut him off saying "Goodnight, Howl." And left him with a look that says ' don't screw up' which he replies with a pout.

And I left as I closed the door, leaving a creak open.

Kissing with your lover under the moonlight indeed is a very romantic thing.

What a lucky bastard.

I wanted to kiss him under the moonlight so bad.

I want to cry so bad too.

Leaving to my bedroom sleeping my sorrows away seems like the best choice now..

I know it's been so long, it's just MOTIVATION ya know?

I saw Howl's moving castle yesterday actually.
sunday, 5 Feb

I loved the movie, it was just.. mind-blowing, to me at least.

I loved Howl, I wanted to do something fluffy you know? But I didn't wanna ruin the love between Sophie and Howl. She has a very big part of the movie, and I can't ignore her.

Well anyways. I will work on the other requested chapter as of now.

It's been a month or so. (Kinda forgot the book)

Well uh hope you enjoyed?
