[HayaRyuu]My First Love

Prologue

First Love. Everyone experiences it, even me.

I had a friend in highschool, he was short, kind hearted and timid. I hadn't realised it, but back then, i started gaining feelings for him.

The way his big glistening eyes could see right through my lies, his kind heart that he has shown and given me a part of, the hand he held out to me when I needed him... it felt like he loved me, and so, I loved him back.

But,

I was felt guilty for loving him, and I was disgusted at myself. He gave me the love i never got by offering his friendship, yet i look at him in such a way.

It felt like I betrayed him.

I spent my last few days of high school sorting out my feelings. After a lot of thinking, I decided that loving him was not a mistake.

'I'm ready to confess' i thought to myself, brimming with confidence, but by the time i tried to reach out and call for him, it was already too late.

He and his brother left right after graduation.

"I really like you too, Kamitani,"

Without telling a word to any of the teachers.

"but Kotaro needs me.."

No one knew where they went.

"..and i need him."

Not even I.

"So i'm sorry, but i'll have to turn you down"

And like that, my first love ended as a bitter-sweet memory.
