A WEISS KREUZ FIC

I do not own Weiss Kreuz or any of its characters . This poor college
student is merely borrowing.
=======================================================================< br />
He's probably drowning the roses again. Omi had been busy
with the tulips and Ken had been busy making sure the deliveries
are in order. Only Yohji had been able to notice his rueful
daydreaming session. Come to think of it, does Ran Fujimiya ever
daydream?
Eversince Sakura Tomoe had left for Osaka, he'd acted like
a fool. Well, at least for a couple of months or so. Fortunately
after that, he went about his job like he used to.
"Oi, wanna let those live?" Yohji snapped at him, taking the
crimson-haired male out of his reverie.
Ran glared at him as if he had said something wrong. But
Yohji was used to that. How else can Ran look at him. He probably
never liked the eldest of the group.
"He's right, Aya-kun," Omi cut in, realizing how much water
poured out of the pot.
"Tell me something, Aya," Yohji muttered. "Who is it this
time?"
"If I were you, I'd forget about it," Ken interrupted.
"Look who's talking..." Yohji said, hearing what Ken had just
told their companion.
"It's not like you never had problems when---"
"Oi! That's a low blow, Ken." He didn't exactly expect Ken
to imply the loss he went through in this situation. Maybe he had
been as depressed as Ran but his was another story. Besides, there
are other girls out there.
Ran simply looked back at the roses he nursed. They're his
favorite kind. Those pure red roses reminded him of her. She looked
almost like Aya-chan...so much like his sweet sister.
"Sakura..." he thought. Quietly, he placed the sprinkler next
to the flowerpot and went down the basement to think. It was a good
thing the others were too busy arguing. He wanted to be alone.
He pulled out Omi's chair from the table where the blonde
used to place his laptop. He sat down on it, picturing her on his
mind. I hope she didn't change much, he thought. Her purple eyes, he
hoped he could see them again in her laughter.
*I don't deserve your love after what you had seen me do.*
"Why did I have to tell her that? Now look at me..." he
thought, seemingly confused at what he is feeling. He crossed his
arms on top of the chair's backrest, hoping that he would find an
answer soon.
"Nii-chan? Are you there?"
That sure startled him. He had almost jumped when he heard
her voice. It was Aya's.
"Here, Aya-chan..." he answered, forcing himself to smile at
his sister who was slowly going down the staircase. She visited the
shop everyday to bring him lunch. He was really grateful that he has
such a sibling. And she was also a constant reminder of _her_.
"Nii-chan, look who's here to see you!" she blurted out, obviously not able to contain the excitement she was trying so hard to
hide from her brother. She giggled helplessly as his gaze went to that
certain someone his sister brought with her.
"Sakura..." He mouthed her name, not allowing any sound to escape from his lips. He stared at her unbelievingly, wondering if
she had the answer he was looking for.
She hadn't changed that much. Her hair was longer than that
of Aya-chan's, which she tied in a braid and placed on her shoulder.
Her purple eyes that he had just wished he could see met his gaze and
locked.
Silence. Great. He had to think of something to break the
silence. What should he tell her?
"Hello, Ran."
There. She's already said something, now it was his turn to
talk back. The sound of her voice echoed through his ears. It still
mesmerized him completely. He kept still, pursing his lips, not
knowing what to tell her. There's so much to say. He needed to
explain his actions before she leaves. He needed to make her
understand his situation.
Still, there was no answer from him.
"I came by to see how the two of you are doing," she said,
forcibly hiding any glint of emotion that would surface. She already
felt herself blushing at his gaze that he somehow didn't take away
from her.
"We're fine. And how was Osaka?"
"That's good to hear. Osaka's been great so far. I have a
great job there, too."
Ran pursed his lips tightly. He didn't exactly expect her to
live there, moreso, get a job there. He averted his gaze blankly
towards the wall opposing him.
"So you're not moving back here anymore?" he asked her,
grunting as if he was really disappointed at her decision.
"Why don't I leave you two alone..." Aya-chan said before
Sakura could talk. "I think you have some catching up to do."
Aya went up the stairs with the two of them looking at the
girl. She was right, they needed to talk alone.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"You haven't answered my question yet," he reminded her.
He had to know and she knew it.
"No. I figured it would be best that I live there. Just to
get away from it all. I also might not be coming back anymore."
Just to get away from it all? Was she trying to tell him
that she wanted to forget him, too, just as Ken had suggested him
to do just now?
He didn't know what else to say. All he could manage to utter
was, "I see." His eyes were cold like they'd always been. Maybe she,
too noticed his sudden mood change because she had looked down
consciously. But there was no indication of any emotion in his eyes.
"Damnit, Ran! Why don't you say something?" she all but
screamed at him, her eyes brimming with tears. Still, he sat there,
cold and uncaring eyes fixed at that same wall. She felt as if she
didn't stress the point out to him.
"I guess I shouldn't have come back here. It only makes
things worse for me..."
Slowly she started for the stairs.
"I better leave now. Sayonara." Her tears slowly began to
creep to her eyes. If she had been able to stay away from him for
three years, maybe she can forget him, too.
But then, just as she took the next step up, a hand pulled
hers from behind.
Whose was it?
Whom else but Ran's. He had somehow managed to grip her wrist
firmly enough to stop her from leaving.
"Leaving so soon?" he asked her. It almost sounded sarcastic
but if it were, then this wouldn't be the Ran she used to know.
But his voice pleaded her to stay. He sounded almost disappointed at
her act.
"You can't go just yet, Sakura." His tone almost commanding
her not to leave. Did he really want her to stay?
"Please, I have to go. There's no reason for me to stay
here." She managed to tell him that but she didn't dare face him.
How could she? He deserved someone better than a simple girl
like her.
What was it that she said again? That she didn't have a
reason to stay? Did he really hurt her that much? He felt guilt
build up inside him almost immediately after she said those very
words. Guilt because he hurt her so much. He pushed her away
because he thought he didn't deserve the feeling she had for
him then. He was too selfish to even admit that he was, for certain,
very much in love with her as she had been with him. He was sure
he was guilty for making her feel as miserable as she is now.
"You know, sometimes, I still remember that day we went
for ice cream," he said. "I can still remember the way you smiled
at me that day. That was the day I first felt something melt in my
heart. You melted the fierce cold in me."
Now she was crying. He could hear her softly sobbing as she
listened to every word he said. But still, she struggled to get away
from him. He felt her prying his hand away, trying to get away
from the hurt.
"Please, Ran, no more. I know you're just saying that because
you don't want to hurt my feelings. I promise, I won't bother you
again, just let me go, please." She pleaded so hard. Why was she
saying this? Doesn't she even realize that he wants her to stay?
Won't bother him again? Those words shot at him like a
bullet. He didn't like the idea one bit. It slowly drained the
life out of him. Just the very sight of her when she first left them
burdened him so much already. What would he be like if he knew she
wouldn't come back?
"Sakura..." he said, slowly pulling her to face him. But she
still looked away from those eyes. Those handsome eyes that bore
into her soul. Then, he pulled her closer towards him, wrapping his
arms around her. Time seemed to stand still as he held her silently.
She can feel his heart beating evenly on her cheeks. She can feel his
breath warming the top of her head.
"You have no idea of what I've gone through since you left.
I felt like I was going to go crazy. The hope that we would see each
other again was the only thing that kept me sane."
He let out a sigh of relief when she relaxed in his arms
before he continued. He kissed the top of her head gently as he held
her tight.
"But now, I'm holding you. I'm finally holding you in my
arms. I tried to hide it but now I realize that I'm a fool for
hiding my feelings from you. I thought that if you knew what I did
for my sister, you would reject me but I was wrong. But then, I
didn't want you to get hurt either. That was why I pushed you away."
Now she understood it fully. She tried so hard to understand
him before but he didn't allow her to back then.
"Ran, I'm sorry about the way I acted..." she apologized
as she returned his embrace. She buried her face in his chest to hide
her embarassment. She honestly never thought she could really change
him.
He kept quiet as before but Sakura didn't mind this time.
She let herself be contented in his embrace. She blushed slightly
as he leaned down towards her ear.
"I've always wanted to tell you..." he whispered softly in
her ear before he released her to look into her eyes. Once more, he
leaned forward to finish what he had to say.
"I do love you..."
He moved his face slightly to meet her gaze, tentatively
closing the distance between their lips.
"And this time, Sakura-chan, I'm not going to let you go."
