kazuha- foolish

(A/N: Heyy!! Yuna here! I decided to write a one-shot that The Little Prince heavily inspired, I bought the book today and the morals behind it were quite bittersweet so I thought I'd write something based on it! This is a somewhat more realistic version of where the original story took place, and words in bold were quotes straight from the book or ones that were slightly rephrased! It was a pleasure writing this and thank you for reading!!! Pls comment if you have any questions- this plotline was quite messy I'll admit ToT, TY!!)

"I have been foolish, I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy..."

Your words echoed through Kazuha's head, ones that held deep meaning, ones that were your final message to him before he departed.

A soft frown plastered on his face, a little troubled by the delusions you had him under. He gently adjusted his red/black scarf to his liking and kept walking, he was in the real world now, and he wanted to know more.

He stumbled upon a beautiful garden, each bush decorated with newly bloomed red roses. His eyes drooped and watered at the sight, he hated being tricked, hated being reminded of his love, his rose.

He was in a garden, a garden full of identical yet beautiful roses, you have told him you were the most unique in the whole universe, a one-of-a-kind. Yet here he was standing in an area surrounded by living people, full of delicate roses that reminded him of you, beautiful and fragrant (You as a person), yet accompanied by prickling thorns. (Lies)

"I thought I was rich, with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a common rose. A common rose, three volcanoes that come up to my knees- and one of them perhaps extinct forever... That doesn't make a very great prince..."

A/N: Basically, Kazuha is from a peaceful free land surrounded by flowers of many kinds, and a beautiful meadow, but there was not a single rose, just him and the flowers existed there in the land. One day you appeared in his life, you'd tricked him saying you were the only person in the whole universe like him. But you lied.

Kazuha could not take it any longer, his eyes darting to every single person who roamed the garden, running to somewhere more private, he slumped to the floor and laid on the grassy floor, bursting into tears. As much as he was mad at your lies, he missed you.

...

When it is morning, a wild fox stumbles across Kazuha, and the pair start to talk.

The fox spoke to him, telling him he was one of many people in his world, he mattered nothing to the fox, and that he himself was also one of many foxes in the world, and simply did not matter to Kazuha, this is when Kazuha learned what it was like to grow close relationships and how they worked, there indeed is more than one of something in the whole world, but it is the bond you create that makes that something special.

"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox.

"First you will sit down at a little distance from me--like that-- in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day . . ."

The next day the little prince came back.
