Emptiness

rima x nagihiko

She was that girl.

He always walked the halls with his friends, one of them being his best friend, Hinamori Amu. He loved chatting with his friends all the time because they had accepted him for who he was. They never judged or left his side and for that he was grateful. Something felt missing though.

The halls still felt empty to him. Nagihiko was surrounded with existence though, so what was missing? The feeling grew onto him each day as he walked the same halls he had been walking in for the last two years.

Then she appeared, that girl.

Her golden curls bounced in a natural way as she held her books close to her chest. The girl's honey eyes were the most purest he had seen in his life. The best thing about it all was that she filled that emptiness.

And so each day had passed, he continued to see the girl walking down the halls. He watched her from the corner of his eye when she passed by him. A feeling of want and attention was growing deep inside of him. But even a bystander could see that they were just two strangers passing each other in the halls. Nagihiko was chatting and laughing with his friends while the girl stayed quiet and walked by.

They were two strangers who never acknowledged each other directly, but only indirectly. They knew of their presences in the halls but they didn't know each other. Every single day was exciting for him from that point on because even a glance of her had heated his emotions to no end.

He was that guy, after all.

Until one day, her eyes glanced back at his and they finally found a connection; a beginning.
