He's back

I still remember the day he left into space. My best friend Shindou, he left with the others of 'Earth Eleven' to defend the earth against those aliens. And I've heard the're coming back today! I'm so glad! I just finnished doing the chores and now I'm about to go to Raimon, to throw a welcome back party for our friends and hero's. I can't wait to see Shindou again! He actually isn't just my best friend, he is my fiancee. He doesn't know that though... I don't have the courage to tell him, since I don't want to ruin our friendship. It's better if I won't tell him. I can already see the Raimon school building and I'm getting even more excited as I already was! I see my kohai Kariya waving at me. I like him, but just as a friend. My heart belongs to Shindou... even though he doesn't know.... Kariya knows! But not because I told him. He accidently heard me talking in my sleep. So he knows. I go stand next to the others of our team and I stand next to Akane, who is basicly my rival. She obviously likes Shindou, but I won't let her have him. She's such a stalker! She takes so much photo's of him! I hear one of us say: 'There they are!' I look up and I indeed see my friends slowly walking towards us. It's them, those who saved the world! I see my friend Shindou immediatly, but I can't approach him like the rest of us. He walks next to Ibuki... maybe a little bit too close...? I see him talking happily with him, but gets interupted by the teammates. I try to stand back as much as I can. If Shindou wants to talk to me, he has to come to me by himself. Because I don't want to bother him. But appearantly he doesn't want to talk, since he is too busy talking to Ibuki.... I give up... I walk back to Kariya, who also stood back to watch.

'Aren't you going to talk to him? Kirino-Senpai~?' he asks.

'No.' is my only answer. I can't talk to him. He's too busy for me at the moment. I walk away to the school terrain. I don't feel like being around people at the moment. I go stand next to a tree and feel tears streaming out of my eyes. He probably didn't even miss me! He was probably too busy with that stupid Ibuki! I should give up on him... I try to keep in my tears but it won't work. I hope nobody sees me like this! I'm all alone, since the party is inside and I am outside. Suddenly, I feel someone touching me. I get a hug from behind. I don't know who it is, until the person speaks.

'I've missed you.' the voice says. I reconize this voice! It's the voice I've known for so many years! I feel a hand rubbing through my hear, removing my pigtails, wich makes my hair fall down my shoulders. 

'I've missed you too.' I say with a broken voice.

'Your voice... have you been crying?' the person asks.

'Maybe.' I say. I turn around and see that what I thought is true. It's Shindou standing next to me.

'Why were you crying?' Shindou asks. I just look down, I don't want to answer him. He takes me into a warm hug.

'You can tell me everything, I'm your best friend after all!' he says. My tears come back and I'm crying again. Shindou doesn't know it's because he literally just friendzoned me. But he can't help it, can he? He hugs me even tighter and I feel more comfortable.

'Let's go back to the party, okay?' he says.

'No.' I say.

'Why not?' 

'I don't want to go to the party.' I say. 'I want to play soccer with you!' Shindou just smiles and takes a soccer ball out of his bag.

'Let's play then!' he says with the smile I fell in love with. We run to the field to play.

No, also this time I couldn't tell him, but sometimes I'm glad I haven't told him yet. It's times like these I treasure the most. The ones where I can spend time with him. Even though it's as friends, this way I will never have to loose him..
