New, long awaited fan fiction !series! August Fading: Alpha! I met him as August was fading, his heart and mine becoming one and our red string tightening. His love created the everlasting summer that is forever burning in my heart, though winter came so quickly as the leaves fell. ♡A rainy day fell upon me as the streets of Nagoya grew busier and busier. The bus stop was quiet and and lonely and yet more beautiful than any other weather, aside the snow that I yearned to see. It was always sunny when I took the bus, other earlier days to work or my apartment, but never in such beautiful weather. I imagined every day being rainy and busy in the way it was that way. No one had seen me there before, and they definitely wouldnt then. As I sulked in my own imagination, a stranger came to the stop and stood beside me--- my heart was pounding. It worried me as I thought why this may be happening: a stressor, heart attack, or a sign from the heavens to run away. I turned to the manly figure in curiosity and was shocked as this man was so striking, so amazing that my heart skipped a few beats. His eyes were curved perfectly as the greenish hazel color burst from his tanned complexion, soft skin caressing his young face yet a shadowed shave making him seem slightly older. The unzipped black hoodie over his casual black outfit made him even more mysterious, his hands plunged into his pockets as they waited on the rain. He seemed so content and, at the time, perfect... then our bus arrived. I darted my face away when he smiled sort of in my direction, my cheeks heating up easily. I could feel his smile in the air and the rush of his heartbeat as well. When he made his move for the bus, I followed shortly after with my card in hand, shaking away my odd thoughts of him. Just a random stranger who happens to look very good... I thought to myself. But, deep down, I knew it was far more. Just as my thoughts went back to focus, I felt a sudden shock against my hand that caught my breath but I couldnt separate from; looking up to my fingers, his warmed hand was underneath mine, shaking as much as mine. Scanning up to his face, I noticed how red his cheeks had become. Is he... blushing?, I thought to myself as my own face flooded red. I had heard of this before, the rush of emotions and strange bodily behavior upon meeting someone, but it seemed so unreal. Something about it seemed odd, even with the most popularly used names for it--- love at first sight. I shook that away, though, and rushed onto the bus. All of these feelings, all at once, couldnt mean anything, could it? I never found out. I didnt ever see him on that bus again. ♡I had told my parents I was gay two years ago. My father was rather upset, whilst my mother simply held me as if i was going to die. Father became okay with it but refused to fully associate with any guy friends I brought over for study;I had only had two boyfriends out of everyone. He excepted me to an extent and that.... well, it bothered me. So I asked to be moved to a private school in Nagoya, a ways away from Kyoto, and live in a student apartment. They agreed and, thanks to the Fujioka family money, paid for anything I asked. Despite being raised without financial worry, my mother, born on a cattle farm, taught me to work hard for what I wanted and not just expect it. The day I arrived, I applied for a job waiting tables at a restaurant a block away from my apartment. It wasnt exactly easy but I found it good enough. I wandered up to the room that morning and saw something amazing. A female roommate. Her hair was long in a plain ponytail and her eyes were a perfect accent to her model-like face. Despite the flattened chest, her body was rather slim in the tomboyish clothes she wore. Hi, Im Daisuke, she said after i introduced myself. Then, it hit but-- this was a guy. From that day on, we were rather close but too much like family to ever take things further. There were rumors of his promiscuity, some making him cry, but most of them were true. He would stay out all night, if not returning by 11pm, and come to take the bus with me every morning. I didnt care about his habits as much; we were friends so it never mattered what the world saw as wrong. It was always just us. This was far before meeting the handsome stranger, if you can really call it meeting anyway, and he flipped out when I told him. And you just left him in the dust like that, after such a connection?! I felt too ashamed to answer him. Its true that we had a fantastic moment together but, as the truth was, I couldnt handle those feelings at once and not think of my past. I was a total opposite to how Daisuke handle guys so... I couldnt just jump on the opportunity without thought. Still, he dogged me down about it day by day, wondering if would meet him again with no name or anything but his face, forever etched in my mind. ♡Another dreary afternoon in the restaurant passed on as the day grew shorter. I was weeks ahead in homework, holding my number one spot in the entire city, and would be alone all night. This wasnt at all unusual to me. I enjoyed this life, having nothing further to do with it, but something was truly urging me that day to stay at work longer. May I have a dark chocolate cocoa please, a sweet tone spoke from a nearby table. Once I saw who it was, I nearly jumped out of my skin in excitement and terror. The handsome man was weeks ago was here, at my job, ordering my favorite drink. Still, I could think of was how fast my heart was beating at his gorgeous being. Maybe, just this once.... my roommate was right. Apparently his name was Rei, and he was a first-year college student at a university nearby. He has a brother and three sisters but they barely every speak to him due to him being an introvert like me. But the fact that made my feelings return quickly: he was also into guys. Just as I realized the time, standing and telling him a nervous goodbye, he took a soft grasp to hand and looked directly into my eyes. The room narrowed to just us and, despite the deep tension between us, I want him to speak to me. Would you like to go out tomorrow night? Theres a kabuki play downtown that seems nice... I could feel the smile rising on my face, his voice causing in uproar in my chest. He continued rambling to convince me; I couldnt let him be left in the dust again. yes, I replied and smiled wider. I handed him my information and left a message for my roommate. I was actually... happy. ♡Inumimi♡
