Keeping Secrets *Mitsuhide x OC*(COMPLETE)

The Letter

"Mitsuhide,

I am writing this to you as you are asleep beside me in the library. It's our last evening together before I have to leave. I am unsure of what I am wanting to say within this letter, but I wanted to leave something behind when I leave. If nothing else, I simply want to thank you, for everything. You took care of me the whole time I was here and you quickly became the first friend I've ever had. You brought me out of the proper and serious person my parents and Miss Nedia forced me to be and I learned what having fun was and what it was like to truly laugh and smile. I can never thank you enough for that. You introduced me to some amazing people along the way and now I can say that I have five friends. Thank you for spending your time with me and for teaching me to sword fight. I'll become a knight or something along those lines someday, you'll see. I truly hate that I will have to say goodbye to you come tomorrow, because I do not wish for my time here in the castle to end, or for my time with you to end. I've greatly enjoyed your presence and know that I will miss it dearly when I return home.

I know that my situation is not ideal for myself but please do not worry for me. Worry doesn't suit you, remember? I will be alright no matter what happens and I will do my best to contact someone after my return to let you know that I am actually alright. I know they will be upset when the answer comes, when Zen refuses the proposal, but I will hold onto the memories that I've made here and everything will be okay. I enjoyed the little things the most while I was here. Dancing with you and with Obi, eating lunch on the grounds with you, all of our nights in the library together, my walk with Obi, stringing Obi from the tree, making the grass crowns to stack on your head... All of it was simply wonderful. I think the memory I will cherish the most is my first kiss, well the first kiss I soberly remember. Thank you for doing that, it really wasn't necessary but it meant a lot to me. I was truly lucky to have someone like you in my life even if you simply were ordered to watch over me. I'm hopeful that I will somehow get the chance to see you again but if I don't, I know that I will never forget you. Please take care of everyone when I am gone, and try not to fight with Obi too much. I'm still unsure of what you fought over, I'd even asked Obi but he wouldn't tell me either. Please take care of yourself as well, Mitsuhide. I don't want you to be hurt. I hope that no matter what happens in life that you remain as happy and wonderful as you are today. I will miss you dearly.

With Love,

Reila Sorenna Canswen"

I tear my gaze away from the letter and sigh. I've read it at least twenty times now. Reading it, I can hear her voice and laughter throughout it. She's been gone for two days and I've hated every minute of it. Obi bugged me after she left to see if I had kissed her or confessed before she left but I told him no to both. He didn't need to know about what happened in the library or the night she drunkenly kissed me. Those were our secrets to keep. I had to return to my duties with Zen but I couldn't focus on anything. It's not the same without her here. I hate that I couldn't tell her how I feel but I think I would miss her more if I had.
