Our Dreams of Freedom:A Coming Story

Chapter 11-A Rose-Tinted Dream

Naozumi,Fumiko,and Aiyana walked out the door to go stand outside with the teenagers and wait for the limo to pick them up.Fumiko looked up at the sky and an infinite,dark blue horizon painted with glowing white stars.She thought it was an absolutely heavenly sight that would match the theme for homecoming.

Fumiko looked around up at the sky to see what the moon looked like tonight,expecting it to be just as alluring and luminous as the stars.She was not disappointed when she saw a huge full moon,glowing and dominating the night sky like the sky depending on it.Aiyana looked over at Fumiko to talk to her,only see her staring up at the stars.She looked up at the sky,wanting to know what could possibly have Fumiko so enticed and enchanted.

Aiyana looked up at the sky and saw everything Fumiko was captivated by.She saw this as a perfect opportunity to start a meaningful conversation with Fumiko since they were standing further away from everybody else.Aiyana loved talking to Fumiko because she never knew what she was going to say,which made Fumiko such an interesting person to talk to about anything.She had this air of mystery around her that made her a bit unpredictable at times,a trait that Aiyana really loved about Fumiko for multiple different reasons.

She also loved talking to Fumiko because she could to talk to for hours on and still not get bored.Aiyana assumed it was because she just really enjoys Fumiko's presence and company,which makes everything about her seem more special or interesting than it actually was.

Aiyana was growing more curious as to why that was the case because those feelings were always intensified nowadays when she would be around Fumiko,knowing it was on a different level than how she felt about the rest of her friends.

Yeah,Aiyana felt like she usually saw her interactions with her friends in a rose-tinted way because of how much she cares about them...this wasn't her first time feeling like that.But,the way Aiyana felt being around Fumiko when it was just the two of them made her feel a different kind of rose-tinted glasses effect.The figurative rose-tinted glasses basically overpowered her with a sense of extreme optimism and resolve.

Like being with Fumiko made everything better,no matter how bad things get or how things were...she made Aiyana feel better by just being there with her.Almost as if Fumiko directly or indirectly made Aiyana's hope,optimism,and resolve stronger because she knew Fumiko believed in her.

Aiyana believed in herself and has that resolve in her heart & soul,but knowing that her best friend believes her alongside herself...she could practically feel her confidence being doubled.Having Fumiko as her support to fall back on when she needed it most gave Aiyana less of a reason to feel like she was carrying her burdens all by herself.

Maybe she made Fumiko feel the same way,but she hasn't realized it because there's something she doesn't know yet.Aiyana hoped that was the case,so she didn't have to worry about her feelings not being reciprocated.Plus,she wanted to make Fumiko as happy as she made her because that's people who really care about each do.Wanting to give happiness to the people you love by any means necessary is normal,right?

"You seem to be deep in thought,what are you thinking about?"Fumiko asked,smiling and touching Aiyana's shoulder.Aiyana looked up at sky and smiled,which quickly turned into a laugh.She decided to be honest because it's not like she had anything to hide.Maybe it would sound embarrassing if she said it out loud but inside her heart,what she was feeling couldn't be more natural or instinctual to her.

"I was thinking about you,so nothing I haven't thought about before."Aiyana responded,giving Fumiko an affectionate look and smile.She hoped that Fumiko didn't think that was a weird thing of her to say,which made Aiyana feel a little insecure because she didn't have any way of knowing.
