Utaite One-shots

The Nearest Star (Soramafu)

~Mafumafu's POV~

The cold wind blew trough my hair, while I sat on the hill I often went to, when I felt lonely, hurt or was confused. Today I wanted to fill a place in my heart, I could never fill alone. Why did I always come to this hill at night, when I felt like this? The stars were the reason. They comforted me a lot, no matter where I was. They were the only reason I would ever go out on a cold night like this. I could even see my own breath going up to the sky in little clouds. I looked up and felt like everything became a bit better when I found the greater bear and then the Virgo, as the cold air blew through the field in front of me.

I hoped this moment wouldn't end, but of course I knew, that I actually should lie in my bed right now, because tomorrow I had to go to the university again, learn boring things again and meet those idiots again, that thought bullying someone was fun. I sighed and remembered, that I should completely concentrate on the stars above me. They would never do something bad.

They were always there, even if you couldn't see them at day. They reminded me of someone really dear to me. Soraru. My best, and by the way only, friend. He was always with me, too. Just like the stars. At least at the university and in the afternoon. I wished he would be with me right now, too.

I smiled as I thought about him. He really was like a star in my life - no, more like a shooting star. He really was something special. The only thing, that right now should be different was, that I didn't want to be alone right now... Even though the stars comforted me, they couldn't fill the place of a real person. They were not warm and they didn't breath... What a waste. I wish you could buy a star and that it would be like a little dog or so, but that it would glow and it would be hard to touch it too... But you could play with it and talk with it, without anyone thinking that you have a mental illness... That really would be great.

Where did my thoughts just go? I really was a weirdo... I could understand, that no one besides Soraru wanted to be friends with me. I just was too different from them.
I sighed again and took my phone out of my pocket. 11p.m.... If he's still awake? I never thought about speaking to someone about my problems, but he was so special. When he saw, that someone wanted to mess with me, he always came and helped me. Yesterday he even said, that I could call him whenever I felt lonely. He really was a warm-hearted person. I really liked him... I have since a long time now and I thought about telling him too, but I was scared of loosing him.

I looked at the phone screen and slowly typed his phone number. I knew every number by heart. I didn't even know why I made the effort to type it. I actually had saved it, but I didn't really thought about doing it this way. It didn't take me a long time either, so it was just the same amount of the time I used in the end.

I carefully pressed the phone against my ear and heard the quit ringing of the outgoing call, from my phone.

The time it took him to pick up the call felt endless and I had the feeling, that I got more and more worried. Maybe he was already asleep? But wouldn't he hear it either way? The sound of his voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Mafumafu? I'm sorry, I couldn't pick up right away, I was so deep in thought. Why are you calling me this late at night?" I took a deep breath and answered, "You told me, I could call whenever I felt lonely, so I did like you said."

I heard the wind through the phone and wondered if he was outside. "Where are you now?" He asked the question I had in my mind too. "I'm on the hill in front of the village, looking at the stars." I heard rustling and then I saw a figure walking towards me, a phone in the hand.

He ended the call and I heard the person shout, "Mafumafu, you're really here." The moonlight shone onto his face and I could see a smile on his lips. " I stood up and looked surprised at him. "Why are you even here?", I asked him curiously. The wind really was strong today. I had the feeling all the hair I had was blown in my face. "I really like the sky.", He said, as he stood directly in front of me and stroke some bangs out of my face. "And I thought I would see you here. Looks like I was right." He concluded his sentence, while blushing a bit. "You knew I would be here?", I wanted to know. He blushed a bit more as he answered, "You always talk about stars and this is the best spot to look at them, right?" He smiled embarrassed and sat down on the ground.

I sat down next to him and felt how the blood rushed into my cheeks, as I admitted, "You're a very good listener, Soraru-san. Thank you for always listening to my weird and boring thoughts.", "I don't hinkt they're boring or weird. They're so amazing, so different from everyone else's. I have to thank you for telling me this things." I felt, that I blushed even harder, as he said this to me.

A silence occurred, which made me get nervous and that I wanted to end immediately, so I said the first thing, that came into my mind. "My favorite star. I told you which one it is, right?" He nodded and answered right away, "It's Spica, the brightest star of the Virgo Constellation." I giggled and gave him a little applause, "You're amazing. I only told you once, right?" He lowered his gaze and I could see his face getting bright red, before he whispered, "It's... It's because I like you. More than a friend... Much more."

What did he just say? Did he say exactly what I wanted to tell him today? I hugged him without really thinking about it and some time passed till I answered, "I like you too, Soraru-san... I really do." I felt how he hugged me tighter and I was able to feel his warmth and his breath. I couldn't really tell how much time passed till he ended the hug, but it felt way too short.

Now we sit there, staring at each other and I had to realize, that his dark brown eyes were a lot more beautiful than any of the stars above us. I let my hand run through his black rustled hair and then I did let it slight down to his cheeks. I leaned closer to him till his lips finally touched mine. A warm sensation run through my body and I thought my heart raced at the speed of light, at least it felt this way. His hand, that he placed on the back of my head, to drag me closer to him, gave me the chance to let my tongue slide into his mouth.

Some moments later I had to end the kiss, due to the lack of oxygen. Breathing heavily, I laid my head on his shoulder and mumbled, "I'm glad that you're here with me."

The first one shot I wrote! (o^▽^o)
I really hope you enjoyed it.
I had the idea for this, while looking at the stars. I don't know if anyone of you is as interested in stars as I am, but I hope you like it either way.(//ω//)
