Harry Potter x Kiyotaka (The Sorcerer's Stone)

Chapter 5: A Smile, that made me smile

Kiyotaka POV

There's just absolutely no way...

She stood right there, her blond hair, flowing and silky, framing her face in gentle waves. In the soft lighting of her home, strands of gold caught the light, giving her hair a luminous quality. Her hair complementing her features, adding to the overall charm and warmth of her presence.

Her mesmerizing ocean gleamed with a clarity that mirrors the sky on a serene day, drawing attention with their depth and brightness. Long lashes frame these captivating eyes, accentuating their expressive nature and adding a touch of innocence to her gaze.

She had a shocked expression on her face, but it slowly faded away as he continued to just stare at her, still shocked with the revelations. He saw that as her shock faded away, it was replaced by her lips curling upwards into a bright and radiant smile, which seemed to light up the entire room.

The same smile that made me want to smile... The one that had made me smile... 

I was interrupted from my thoughts as a blur of blonde rushed across the room and crashed into me, pushing me on the floor from the impact, as a pair of hands wrapped around me, pulling me into a very tight hug.

Almost instinctively, which was very unexpected, I wrapped my own arms around Yuki who was now nuzzling her head into my chest, with a very happy expression on her face. Me returning the hug had made her smile even more.  I looked down at the girl, the only person in my life that cared for me, and the only one that I had ever cared for.

He saw her look up at him, the wide smile still at her face, and saw her smile even more widely, if that was even possible on seeing his expression. There was a twinkle in her eyes, and her cheeks were dusted pink.

Yuki: "You are smiling Kiyotaka! I am so happy to meet you again after such a long time. And now I am even more happy to see you smiling. I know you must have buried your emotions deep inside when you were the only one left, but I think that you may get them back sooner than you think!"

I brought my hand up to my lips and felt they had curled up, not by a lot, but still in a perceptible small smile. I also felt a warm feeling that had entered my chest, which felt unfamiliar, but it was surely a welcome one.

Honestly, this girl. She managed to light up my world in that cold hell, helped him retain his emotions, had made him smile. Being alone without her for 4 years had made him strengthen his guard around people. But even after all these years, the first time we met, and she made me smile yet again, seemingly walking through the barriers I erected as though it was nothing. But I still had not understood these emotions, something I fully intended to do.

Seeing her snuggle her face closer to his chest nuzzling it, he made a resolve in his mind.

He was never going to use Yuki, never see her as a tool, and would not put her in harm's way just for his victory. No. He wasn't going to do that.

One of the reason being that this would be his first step in going up against his father's ideals that had been ingrained into his mind. 

The second reason was quite simple really, he wasn't going to use her cuz... Yuki was his first friend after all.

I was pulled from my thoughts again as Yuki now pulled away, a content smile on her face. I liked the warmth you know...

She stood up and dusted her clothes. I did the same. She then looked at Dumbledore, with a look of realization.

Yuki: "So you wanted me to meet Kiyotaka when you said you were going to have me meet someone. Well, I'm very thankful to you, Professor Dumbledore, this was certainly a very pleasant surprise."
