Soramafu ONESHOTS (#2!!) [COMPLETED]

16. Stronger (Part 1)

A/N : Look at the media?

"Your parents passed away in an accident." The sapphire-eyed boy just stared at them, his emotions unseen. Usually people will break down and cry, but this 7-year old boy just smiled. "Good for them" was all he said before closing the door.
The next day, he checked the mail box, and an invitation to a funeral fell down. He looked down at it for a good five minutes, before picking it up and throwing it into the dustbin.

He did not attend his parents' funeral that day.

*°*10 years later*°*

"Soraru!" The sapphire-eyed male stared passively at the teacher that called him. "Yes?" He inquired in a cold voice. "Can you show this new student around?" He moved his stare to the albino behind the teacher. "He seemed rather shy." "He is, so be kind to him." The albino peeked at Soraru, before smiling self-consiously and said, "My name is Mafumafu." "Mhm."
Soraru gestured for the albino to follow him and Mafu obliged.

They said people get stronger after they are hurt.

I would like to think that, as well.

But why am I still so weak?

"The people here are quite friendly, right?" Mafu asked. Soraru passed him a cold stare before replying, "They aren't. Humans just act nice to you because they think you will be of help to them in the end. If not, they wouldn't even glace at you." Mafu pouted. "I would like to look at the world as something that is nice to people in the general sense. Since I'm so dark most of the time."
"Take it as an advice. It is better to stay dark, since you can see through most of people's lies." "Kay."

"SORARU-SAN SORARU-SAN SORARU-SAN!!!!!" "What?" It had been three months, and everyone loved the little innocent albino. "You are annoying." Well, except one. Mafu pouted. "Why are you so cold most of the time?"

Because affections will kill you in the end.

"What do you want?" "Can you accompany me to the park today?" "Why?" "I wanna confess to one of the girls in our class." "..."

It hurts. It feels like someone stab into me.

"Soraru-san?" "Okay." Soraru closed his eyes briefly.

Without knowing it, my heart had been given to you.

Knowing that you will never give yours to me.

They head to the park after school, Mafu running ahead of him with a fast pace. We reached a girl who was standing under a big tree, pink dusting her cheeks. "Mafu." "Hmm?!" "I'll leave you here. You have to do this alone. Just call me when you finish, okay?" "Yup!"

You look so beautiful, laughing.

Don't you know that your happiness is resulted from my broken heart?

Soraru walked home, his eyes burning. He stared at the phone once he was back, until it rings.

"Yes?"
"She accepted! Soraru-san, I have a girlfriend!"
A giggle.
"Good for you."
"Hmm, I know! I'll go now!"

He hung up. Soraru wiped at his eyes, before planting his face in his hands.

What they said about loving someone that doesn't love you back.... I understood the pain now.

And it hurts like hell.

And to think I used to laugh at Kashitaro's unrequited love. Heh, I can understand it now.

Everything hurts.

But I'll be stronger after this... Right?

Soraru turned towards his bedroom for rest, and to get ready for tomorrow. He doesn't really want to see Mafu with his new girlfriend, but he can't stay at home since he can't skip another more day or he will get suspended.
So he got ready the next morning, and headed to school. When he reached, the first thing he saw is the girl with the albino. "Soraru-san, May I introduce you to Hiro-chan!" The girl smiled shyly, before saying, "Hello, Soraru-kun." "Hello," he replied in a cold voice, making the couple look shocked. "Are you okay?" Mafu asked in a timid voice.

Shit. "I'm fine." He turned away, making sure his eyes are not wet. "Hey," he heard Kashitaro's voice and sighed slowly. "What's wrong?" The sapphire-eyed male crossed his arms. "Have you found another person?" "Huh?" "Have you found another person over Amatsuki-kun?"
The brunette shook his head. "Nope. But it's okay, Rib had been helping me." "Oh." He doubt he could ever find another person for him. Lon, maybe? He sighed again. Maybe not. He isn't interested in girls.
"I'll be forever alone then." The words slipped past his lips unchecked, and he pressed his hands against his lips, shocked. "Did you say something, Soraru?" He shook his head, and tilted his head upwards a little, towards the open sky.

I too, hope you are happy now.

I wish, I could be the one for you. But it turned out to be wrong.

We have no match in the end, huh?

I'll try to be stronger the next time I meet you, and bid farewell to my feelings towards you.

A/N : So. I tried my best to stick to the pic, but....it may be a bit off. I still hope you guys like it though! /~\
