A/N: I got the title from the idiom: fools rush in (where angels fear to tread). It is something you can say when people do things without thinking about them enough. Like doing things on a whim and regretting it later. For the my other MiTSU story What's Your Type? I'm still in "loss of inspiration" state. T_T
Happy New Year!
They say you only have one heart because you can only love one person at a time. However, I beg to differ. Love can vary into a lot of ways. I believe that once you have loved, you can never, ever unlove that person. After all, you cannot just wake up one day free of all the love you had felt for this person—no matter how time flies. Crap! That made me itchy.
Fools Rush In: Where Angels Fear To Tread
Prologue
Body Language
"You are everything I never knew I always wanted."
I watched you stuff clothes after clothes on your suitcases. Awkward silence filled the room—our room. For outsiders, the situation seems like some rip off break up scene from a romantic sappy movie. The girl stuffs all the clothes she can on one suitcase while crying, as her lover futilely stops the inevitable break up. However, this was not that kind of scene.
I closed my eyes, trying to shut all the feelings that are starting to pile up inside me. You glanced at me for a while, noticing that I was fidgeting on my seat for quite some time now. I noticed your gaze fall down on my hands that started to fiddle my ring that hung on the same necklace that you gave me. Some may be wondering why I am not wearing the ring on my ring finger. I have an excuse, quite reasonable actually, coming from you. It did not matter where I wear the ring. As long as I have it in me, it was what matters the most.
"Mou. Why do you have to be so careless?" You asked me as we desperately looked for my ring on the heaps of sand below our feet.
"Hehehe. Who was the one playing with my hand back then that I lost my ring?" I watched your mouth opened and closed as you try to formulate another counter on my statement.
"I'm buying you a necklace once we find it. I'd rather see it hanging on your neck than you loosing it." You smiled warmly at me as our hands intertwined unconsciously. "We can both have matching necklaces then!" You beamed before kissing me on the cheek.
"Eh~!" I whined as we look more. "I don't wanna wear it like that." I huffed childishly and you giggled.
"Why not? That way I would not worry of you losing it." You said, as you pulled closer to me. My short brunette bangs were mildly touching your face as I inched closer. I was taller than you by barely two inches. I remembered you throwing a small fit that I was now taller than you.
"Your hair's long when it's down." You mused while you scrunched up your nose when you bumped into my eyeglasses, trying to close the gap between us.
"You don't like it?" I asked curiously, staring at your enticing orbs.
"Hm?" I watched you slightly shake your head. "I like it best when you hair's down like that." Our nose rubbed on each other. "I'm a little bit worried, though." You said as you lead me to the shore were we had been snuggling a while ago.
"Why?"
"With you looking like that," you paused to give me a smile, "I will have a lot of troubles ousting swooning girls away from you." I chuckled at your sudden display of your possessiveness.
On our necks hung the white gold ring that signified our vows—especially our love. I found myself fiddling on the bond more so when you are away. I guess this was an assurance to myself. It was one of my ways that made sure what we have was not just my own imagination. That you were real.
"Here you go." I peeked over my laptop to where you were sitting. You were holding out my ring that was dangling around the silver necklace you were holding. "Like this, you will never lose it. You don't even need to take it off." You said before I pulled you to sit on my lap.
Silence was still enveloping our room. Both of us were afraid to say our good-byes, but we knew it would happen no matter how much we prolong this. I finally stood up from my position to sit down beside you. I always liked being near you. It always made my cloudy feelings settle down. That was how immensely you were affecting me.
You smiled at me warmly when I came over beside you and offered you my help. You giggled pleasingly as you watched me struggled to fold your clothes sloppily and place them on one of your suitcases. My heart sank when I looked at the now half-empty walk-in closet that was once full of your gorgeous clothes and shoes.
You must have noticed my longing gazes as you reached up for my face and caressed my cheeks gently. I placed my hand over your hand, as I looked at you but soon found myself looking anywhere else but your eyes. I did not want you to see through me. I did not want you to have hesitations, just like I always do whenever this time comes.
I inched closer to you until our faces were just inches apart. I gently cupped your cheeks and kissed your succulent red lips. The kiss lingered for a while until we heard the knock on our door.
"I'm sorry." You said before placing another quick kiss on my lips. "I can stay if you want me to."
"Don't be." I assured you with a smile that I was okay with this. "Hurry now. They are waiting for you." I urged you to move as I noticed the time, your flight was scheduled just two hours from now. I don't want you to leave.
"Take care of yourself." You smiled at me as I tucked the few strands of your long silky hair behind your ear. "I don't want to be worrying about your cute butt while I am thousand of miles away from you." You teased to lighten the mood.
"Mou! I'm going to be okay." I whined as I escorted you out of our home. You were about to board the car when you stopped and looked back at me with those caring eyes.
"Be sure to get some sleep. You always get carried away when you're in front of your computer." You said as you unconsciously fixed my collar and held my face while looking through my eyeglasses. The truth was we have already discussed this the night before, after our lovemaking. Besides, it is not like it was the first time that we've been through this. You leaned your forehead against mine as I looked at you. I closed my eyes just like you did, savouring the small moments before parting for a long time.
"I'm going to miss you." You whispered.
"Me too." I smiled coyly at your display of affection.
"I love you."
"Un." I pecked your lips. "I love you too." I said as I captured your lips for the last time.
"I'm going to leave now." You smiled as you slowly back away from me.
"Un." I nodded. No. Don't leave me.
I watched as you sit comfortably on the back passenger seat of our silver car. You looked at me once again, with your head popping through the small opening of the car window, as you beamed another smile for me. A smile that would last me for the times that you will be away.
I don't want to be alone. There were a lot of things that I wanted to say, but as always, I never found the heart to stop you. I always knew you loved your job. And I would never get in the way of that. But I know you loved me too. So, why? Why can't we just be together like always?
If given a chance, I would gladly take the opportunity to go back in time. No. It was not so I can change something. It was so that I can experience all of the memories I had with you all over again. No matter how happy or sad that memory was, I would give anything just to get back during those times. The times that you were always with me.
Don't leave me. Wind blew against me as I stood there while watching the silhouette of your car get smaller and smaller until there was no more. Samui [1]. Samui, my love.
[1]Samui- means cold as in the weather. Double meaning? ^^
A/N: Wow. That came out more serious than I intended too. Who can guess the pair on this one? I did not give much did I? *evil laugh* ^_^ I wasn't supposed to publish this new story. However, my mind changed when all I've been seeing updated was mostly K-on girls X male OC. Come on! What's happening to K-on yuri stories? Ahahaha.
