Precious Time (FutaKao)

(Published September 4, 2019)

Kaoruko's POV

*bam* The door was closed with much force as its' sound echoed across the hallway as I stayed in the room, shocked of what just happened.

"What the hell was wrong with her earlier!?" I yelled across the room I share with her.

"What did I do this time?" I continued as tears started to fall from eyes and me dropping to the ground.

"Did she just walk out on me?" I covered my eyes this time, trying to let the tears disappear but it just won't.

What's wrong with me?

I asked to myself as thoughts and images run through my mind, smiling at me, hand stretched out for me.

"Where was she going anyway?" I murmured to myself, looking in the direction of the door as I pouted and the tears,... finally was calming down.

Worry. Yes, it was supposed to be called that. That's the emotion I guess I'm feeling right now.

I stood up from my place and looked for a handkerchief in the drawers. There were a couple drawers in our room. It took me a lot to find the right one as I was not familiar with where things were. She always did that for me.

"Here it is~!" I exclaimed happily as I finally found what I was looking for and raised it up in the air and finally wiping my face with it.

Then I saw on the desk, just right beside my bed, there was handkerchief sitting pretty on top of a note.

A memo...?

Why would there be a memo here?

Let me just read what it says...

I put away the handkerchief covering the note. I then lifted the note a little bit higher for me to read it a lot better.

"Kaoruko...

I love you and you know that.

You shouldn't play with me like that, okay? I can always play with you anytime you'd like, just not when I'm doing something on my own.

But I can't always keep my patience long enough to put up with you selfishness much longer than you think.

But somehow, no-one maybe I enjoyed it at the same time?

I'm not exactly sure, but that's how I feel about taking care of you.

If you want to continue on this unstable relationship, look behind this card."

What there's something behind this?

How come I haven't felt that?

Anyways, I flipped the card to the other side and used my free hand to continue to wipe my sullen face from crying and some fell down again after reading that note.

As I flipped the card, I saw it was a photocard. That explains why it was a bit hard than normal paper, I nodded to myself. Then I focused more on the subject of the photo, it was me and Futaba-han when we were little children. She was holding her bike with me following behind her as I seemed to be tugging her already loose shirt.

I still didn't understand what she meant which made me tilt my head to the other side as I continued to ponder more about.

A few more minutes later, I finally realized what she meant which made me stamp my fist on my palm.

In a hurry, I opened the door and went out, looked for all the possible places where she might have gone to.

I already went to most of the places where we usually hang out.

Where might she be?

Where could she possibly be?

It must be...

Ah, that place!

I thought as I stopped for a moment for a breather as I was running low on energy.

As I quickly regained my strenght back, I ran to that place where all our precious memories together ever since we were children are remembered.

I finally arrived in front of that door, as I put my hands on my knees as I ran out of air again.

Curse, this lack of stamina...

I should really work out more...

I can't handle all this with her help...

Come on, let's do this!

I've practiced this over and over again in my head.

Everything will be fine...

I thought to myself as I took a deep breath before opening the door. Then I saw her, crouching down on the corner of the tatami matted room.

After I opened the door, it made a loud sound which caused her to look up to me in shock.

"Kaoruko!" She exclaimed as she quickly got herself together and trying to resist the urge to do something.

"Futaba-han..." I mumbled to myself as I gave a sigh of relief after finally seeing her after a short while.

I ran to her front and kneeled down, my hands supporting my weight with my legs.

"I'm sorry!" I said as I swallowed in my pride for a short while, just for today.

"W-why are you apologizing?" She asked in shock as she pulled her legs closer to her.

"I apologized because I was the one at fault right for you walking out on me earlier?" I verified as I relaxed on my position but still in a questioning look.

"Well... you were, actually but I was also at fault for not properly explaining, so I'm sorry too." She said as she averted her eyes to the side and back again to look at me in the eyes to affirm she was really sorry.

"Then can I do this?" I quickly asked as I already accepted her a long time ago.

"E-eh!?" She managed to say in shock as I let her leg completely lie down on the mat and I put my head on it.

"Let me sleep, I'm tired from all that running." I grumbled as I put a hand to her face which she then returned by brushing my hair and helping me sleep.

"Thank you." I said before closing my eyes and began to doze off to sleep.

"Have a good nap." I managed to hear as I felt a soft sensation on my forehead which made me smile.

This really is one of the most precious times I have with my beloved Futaba-han.

It's moments like this, that she spoils me that I like and enjoy the most.

I thought before finally falling asleep in such a meaningful place for the both of us.

That was Shun-chan!

How was this for you?

Can you suggest which ships I should be writing next?

I still have no plans on what ship I would use for the next one.

So better comment one that you would like for me to write about!

As always,

Thanks for dropping by!
