I will always love you // Ayamiya

Chapter 4

Yoimiya POV:

I stepped on a twig. I can't believe this happened to me. I thought this only happened in shows and Yae's light novels. What was I going to do? If  Ayato saw me in this condition, with my eyes all pink and swollen, and my makeup all smudged, he would tell Ayaka and I would be done for.

"Who are you?" He yelled. He couldn't see me, his weren't well adjusted to the dark. I often forget that not everyone's eyes are as well adjusted as mine were, due to the fact that I had to set off fireworks in pitch black settings sometimes. If he couldn't see me, he couldn't have read my letter! "Tell me who you are, or else." I heard him say.

"It's me!" I yell. "There is, um, nothing to, uh, worry about." I was always scared but I suppose I didn't realize just how scared I was. 

"Do you think I know who you are just because you said that?" He said. "Now tell me your name." I could tell some of his frustration from earlier was starting to show. 

"I- uh. It's Y-yoimiya." I panicked. 

"Ahh, you're Ayaka's cheerful firework friend, aren't you?" Ayato said. "The one she talks about?"

"Uhh, yes, that's me," I respond. She talks about me? It's probably just about how annoying I am to her.

"Why aren't you at her party right now?" He asked.

"Umm, because I, uh, left my present for her at home," I said, repeating the excuse I told the guard.

"Mhmm, then, might I ask why you are walking in the direction of our estate, and not the direction of your house?" He said.

"B- Because I took a break on the beach, and, uh,  i was just going to go back to the land above the beach because the path home is, um, clearer there." I say. "Might I ask why you aren't there?"  

"It's none of your business," he says frustratedly. He follows it up with a sigh. I begin walking off, thinking this was the end of our conversation. "Wait! Yoimiya." He said as if he remembered something. "I found something on the beach. I was wondering-"Oh shit. Maybe he read my letter after all, if he read it then he knows all about Ayaka and everything. I begin speeding up, I don't want to talk about this. 

Soon enough I find myself crying, running through the forest. That letter was more than just a birthday card, if he read it everything would be ruined. He would tell Ayaka everything I wrote, then she would know how I feel and... Tears began rolling even harder down my face. She wouldn't care, it's not like she would feel the same anyway. 

She would never care about me

Ayato POV: 

I wonder if she heard my request? I wanted her to read this letter I picked up off y the beach. I don't have great vision in the dark, and I figured that she must, since it would make sense for her job. It doesn't matter, I can simply read it in the plaza, there are lanterns there. 

As I begin to walk back, I get a sickening feeling in my stomach reminding me why I left. It's fine. I will just stay outside, then I won't have to deal with it. I won't have to deal with them. 

I feel the crumpled piece of paper in my pocket. What even is this? I knew it was some kind of letter. I could tell something had been written, but in the dark I couldn't see it.

Once I reach the gate I hear the guard say, "welcome back Mr. Kamisato." I nodded and continued to where I could see better. Once I was under the light, I opened up the piece of paper.  Some parts of the the letter were smudged, but I could read most of it.

Dear Ayaka,

I hope you have the best birthday ever today. There is so much I want to tell you but this piece of paper is too small for all of it . I L... .... I .... ... so much. I  can't stand it when you aren't ....  I have always .... this way, and I always will. I understand if you don't... .... And if that's the case I hope we can .... ...... Either way, you will always be special to me. 

                                                                                                                                          With love, Yoimiya

So this is why she ran away, she probably heard my request and panicked. As I glanced at the letter again, I wondered how my sister would react. I suppose it would be better to keep it from her anyways. 

It's just a secret, it won't be important to my sister.
