Rhythm Thief Fanfiction"Hes Who?"

Opportunity

Charlies pov

iI hasent been long since marie has entered my life,the feeling of fear and jeaulousy has stayed with her.Marie has made better impressions on raphael then i have,showing her strength,her courage,her determination,her beauty.What have i shown Raphael?hatred,sadness,weakness,and i have never seen myself as beautiful,at least,never as beautiful as marie is.As marie will be.She hasnt grown fully,and when she does,raphael will see her as the blossoming rose she will be,whereas i will never blossom as greatly or with as many colors as her.She has so much that i dont ,power,beauty,confidence,even her personality.Shes so girly while i, in contrast,hate the thought of being stuck in a god-awfull dress like she always is.preferring only having to wear my pink sweater if its necessary.

or if rapahel liked it

To make matters worse,shes been showing herself off more.Its not huge,but its noticeable if your looking for it.The looks she gives him when she thinks no ones looking,the way she accidentally tore her dress yesterday,how she moves around him,even her tone is getting a tad more flirtatious (by marie standards,she still isnt that bold of a person).Today,for example,she was anxiously walking back and forth across the room when she just so happend to trip over herself,just to have a chance to be in raphaels warm embrace.

God i wish i could be like her,or better yet,to be able to outright tell rapahel how i feel about him.Would he like it if i started wearing more dresses?If i acted more feminine?No,i should stop thinking like that.Things would never work out between us if i won him over by pretending to be someone im not.

"Something on your mind charlie?" i heard in raphaels voice,startling me and making me jump up a bit.I had gotten lost in thought and hadnt realised rapahel has been trying to ask me something for the past 3 minutes."n-no nothing,i was just thinking of.....well you know..everything really" i replied.That wasnt a complete lie.The pieces of my pass still latch on to me,no matter how much i trie to wriggle free and escape.Sometimes,i become a prisoner to my own mind,and rapahel is the person bringing me pieces of a key to escape.He never complains,even though he has every right to.No one,not even myself,asked him to become a part of my life,yet here he his,handing me napkins and giving me support."I know" he said. "the same thing happend to me after my father left,but i learned that eventually it gets better.It wont be perfect,but it will be better than this."I smiled softly at his words.I wouldnt even be here right now if he hadnt been there that night near the eiffel tower,if he wasnt there to catch me as i fell."What was it you were trying to ask me before?"i ask him."oh"he replies"i was wondering if you wanted to join me,im going on a little trip to see the new restaurant thats opening,eclat."Blood instantly rushed to my cheeks.Was he-was he asking me out on a date?"s-sure i would love to go"i said,stuttering in my flustered state."Great" he said "its grand opening is tommorow,so prepeare yourself,they hold themselves to be,how should i put it?high standard."i nodded fiercly in agreement.This was going to be wonderful.No Father,no problems,no marie,just raphael and i.It wasnt after he left that i realised

i dont have a dress
