Work Text:
Your eyes—
god, your eyes.
The way they sparkled when an idea crossed your mind,
the way they found me when you made your silly promises.
I roamed the halls aimlessly,
watching people pass by—
hoping, just for a moment,
I could cradle your face in my cold hands
and dive into those pool-like eyes.
You never noticed, did you?
The way I looked at you when you said something utterly stupid,
or when I threw insults about that lame earring you seemed to admire.
There was never real venom in my words.
The feelings I had—and still do—
towards you were something far bigger than “love.”
Something too heavy for words to carry.
A shame, really.
I wish it were as simple saying it out loud.
Minamoto Kou… there are so many things I fail to show,
so many I can only hope to one day say.
Even now,
as I sit beside you—
bored out of my mind as you spit nonsense—
your sweet words soothe my bitter wounds,
wrapping them like a bandage over a fresh cut,
until they sting no more.
Maybe… in another world,
loving you isn’t so hard.
But for now,
all I can do is imagine—
our fingers intertwined,
eyes lifted toward the setting sun
