Time is Everything

Okay, so, Diabolic Esper is not my character. He belongs in a game -Elsword- and he can use time and time travel so I thought I'd make him the villain. The art up there ^ is not mine, credits to dezimation on tumblr

"Hey! Wasn't that Hikari?"

"I think so. Why is she headed up to the roof?"

"She confessed to Yuu yesterday, and was royally rejected."

"Is she going to the clock?"

"I think so."

"How desperate is that little brat?"

She could hear the conversations behind her, she knew full well what they were saying.

I wish I had never confessed to him in the first place! Hikari thinks, turning into the stairwell that leads to the roof. He made me cry, and then he wouldn't look at me all day! I can't take this, take me back to before I confessed!

She slams open the door, taking in a deep breath, then she turns around to face the clock.

Exhausted, she collapses to the ground. "Please!" She yells, loudly. "Take me back to before my confession! You can take anything you want!"

Wings flutter behind her, and she whips her head around, startled by the noise. Several crows, flying quite low to the ground, in a circle, and in the center, a stop watch.

"No way..." Hikari slowly drags herself to her feet, over to the watch. She takes hold of it, and clutches it to her chest. "Please.." She sobs, her body jerking with every word. "Take me back to before I confessed!"

Hikari closes her eyes as she wishes, and when she opens them, she's standing in front of Yuu.

"-so, yeah. My family is moving to Hokkaido. Which, of course means I will have to go with them."

Hikari is shocked at first, her hand around her neck, where the stop watch has transformed into a necklace. "Hello~ Earth to Hikari? Is anyone home?"

"Oh, oh! Yeah!"

"You said you wanted to tell me something earlier. Care to share?"

Hikari freezes for only a second. "It's no big deal! I'll tell you before you leave."

"Oh. Well, are you sure?"

Hikari smiles. "Yep! Now, let's get you home so you can pack. You're still coming to school tomorrow, so you have to do your homework!"

"I know, I know!"

I'm so glad this worked. Hikari thinks to herself. She pulls her hands up to her stomach and wiggles a bit in place.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing~ I'm just really happy!"

"Is that so?" Yuu looks off in the distance, no doubt eyeing the turn where the two will part ways for the day, returning home.

When they reach it, Hikari gives Yuu a slap on the back. "Well, see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, see ya." Yuu hesitates for a second, then eyes Hikari's necklace. "Where'd you get that? Have you been wearing it all day?"

"Oh, this?" Oh crap, come up with something quick. "This old thing? Grandmother gave it to me, it's been passed down our family. And, silly! Of course I've been wearing it all day. Get your head out of the gutter."
