Summary: It's always at the end we feel love, pain, regret…

Daisuke POV

You are very popular. You're perfect all over. You've got a lot of companions. Beautiful people stand beside you every day. You drown yourself with so many of them.

That always makes me wonder…

Do you even see me from your view...?

somewhow, i've always... i've always thought you could...

you would, at least take a glance to your surroundings.

I'm always right there.

But then, I realized, who would ever pay attention to someone like me? I am too much far from your likes, and as the others who knew would say, I am too ambitious. So, all I can do is stare at you like someone behind glass trying to reach out to that a distant dimension, that's the least I can do.

If I'd be given a chance to meet you, even just for a day, I'd confess even if it will hurt after that...

"Daisuke, you've only have six more months to go…"

Dark POV

2nd Month: Graduation Day

I don't know you since I don't usually see you around in school. I never paid much attention to someone looking so plain, and boring. Who would even take a look at a sickly framed boy with huge thick glasses? Nothing about you interests me except for that weird hair color, but you are such a geek... not my type at all.

"I only go for the beautiful ones…"

This sucks... I know that kind of look. I can sense you shaking and your voice trembles as you apologize for saying such a disgusting thing. I'm immune to that, you don't have too. Just go now and leave.

You choked in a couple of sobs. Your cheeks are wet and puffed red. I stared at you taking off your glasses and wiping off your tearstained eyes. In a moment, you glanced up to thanked me for giving you vacant even though your love confession's an obviously worthless waste of time.

After that, you gave me a painful smile, to streaks of tears running down your face and silently disappearing from my view. That was the last image of you that had a lasting imprint in my mind that day. By then, I suddenly felt I regretted my actions…

Daisuke POV -

5th Month

3 months ago, I confessed to the boy I loved but he rejected. Now, I'm trying to slowly move on. I cried for weeks thinking about him. I don't want to remember anymore the things he said and everything that happened.

He also may have had forgotten about me too. I mean nothing to him, anyway... I'm nothing. Someone like him wouldn't keep a memory of a stranger.

"I wish time would run faster..."

I cried once again to sleep.

Dark POV

5th Month, 2nd week

Didn't you know I kept searching for you for all this time? I couldn't take you off my mind. Then, I heard you were here.

Don't you know you made me scared?

So I went here as fast as I can. But the doctor said, I was too late. By the time I knew, time ran so fast. I was holding your hand tightly in a small white room. I kept my stare focused on a covered hospital bed. I wanted to cry but i felt numb all over.

There are a lot of things I wanted to say, to apologize, wanted to do that I wished I have done before. If I was to turn back time, what if I have only taken a glance at you and just noticed that there's this bit of me that feels something for you... And if I made you cry that day, I would have wiped the tears from your eyes. But it's too late.

"Daisuke, I shouldn't have lied..."

You are almost cold. Everything laid still. I couldn't let go let go of your hand when they said I should.

A/N: You may think that this is cliche but i'm a fan of tragic stories. I maybe writing more onsehots like this that's usually themed on unrequited love and other painful realities. Tsk. Tsk. Please Read & Review. Tell me what you think if it's good or needs change. (TT_TT)
