Eyes like Emeralds {MikaYuu}

Heart

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YUU!"
I began to sigh. Knowing that they were making fun of my nickname once again.

'Happens every year...'

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR YUUUU!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YUU!"

I heard cheers and congratulations from every body. I began responding to everyone with thank you's and smiles.
"Happy birthday, Yuu!" My mother said cheerfully.
"So... How's it feel like to be thirteen?"
I shrugged. "I don't really feel any different than from when I was twelve."

**

"That's what you said last year."
Yuu sighed, a dull expression plastered over his face.
"My birthday's don't really make me as happy as you'd think they would,"

I understood perfectly.

Life was pretty dull before I kissed my soulmate. My eyesight was horrible. I saw everything as extremely blurry blobs. No glasses or any sorts of magic could've helped me.

When he kissed me, he and I were already 20. He would've kissed me sooner, but I was scared. Scared that if we kissed, my eyes would remain the same. I loved him so much that just the thought of him possibly not being the one hurt me. It was a very common scenario for many lovers.

When we did kiss, it was one of the best moments in my life. I still remember the day I got my eyesight. He took me to many places that I dreamed to see that day.
I remember I would always talk about going to an art museum almost everyday of my life. When I kissed him and gained my vision, I noticed we were in an art museum. But at that point, I really didn't care. I finally was able to see him. What more could I ever ask for?

After that day, I noticed my mood had changed drastically. I was happier. Even he said that I'd never smiled like that before, and it was true. 

I just couldn't wait till Yuu found Mikaela. Sadly, I can't tell Yuu about my encounter with Mikaela. They're supposed to meet in high school. If I am to tamper with their lives and make them meet or kiss earlier. It would result in a horrible outcome...
heartbreak.

When heartbreak occurs, two lovers would experience puppy love. It would last for a week or so. After this, would end, their relationship would begin to plummet. They would argue and hurt each other until they reach their limit. Once they reached their limit, they become heartless; a shell of their former self. Both lover's eyes become dull and grey.

Once this happens your heart is officially broken. You're incapable of feeling any other emotion that isn't sadness. You would never be able to love again.

Even though I would show Yuu, Mikaela once in a while, I would erase his memories of how he looked, as a way to prevent this horrible consequence from happening. The only thing you are allowed to know about your soulmate, is their gender. Which is why Yuu know's his soulmate is a he.

"Mom, you ok?"

I snapped back to reality. Looking at my son.
Although I was right in front of him, his clouded green eyes trailed off to my right.
I sighed. "Yeah..."

"You don't sound ok,"

I laughed. "You caught me."
He face began to fill with worry. "What's wrong?"

"I was just in deep thought, and my mind wondered to... other things,"

"Mom..."
I began to smile "Today's your birthday, Yuu. Don't worry about me right now, today's your day. I can handle myself it's nothing major. Trust me." I put my hand on his shoulder. "I'm gonna be ok."
