One-shot with Junpei :)
Today is the same. Getting bullied, punched, kicked... ah, I can't even think of the rest of it. It's already gotten to the point where the teacher doesn't care about it anymore.
I felt dizzy. My vision was still blurred with dirt and tears. All the bruises and wounds are still hurting. What did the teacher say again? I couldn't hear it.
"That's for today. Get home safely and finish your assignments." I heard the teacher say when I came back to my senses. The bell is ringing. It's time to go home. Let's get this over with and-
"Jun, come follow me."
"Huh?" I hear a familiar voice calling me. 'Jun' is a nickname that only someone gave to me. It can't be her...
"Let's go!" She takes my hand. Dragging me along to follow her. So it's really her.
While walking down the hallway, I can't help but feel people glaring at us. 'Why would she want to be with him?' or 'Those pretty hands will get filthy because of that trash.' I want to let go of her hand, but as if she knows, she's just holding it tighter and whispering, 'it's okay.'
I was wondering where she would take me, but it was answered when we were in front of the infirmary door.
"W-why are we here?".
It's impossible if she wants to treat my bruises and wounds. She's a popular student who has plenty of guys crazy about her. Gifts, love letters, and confessions are already like daily life for her. I know that deep down, I love her too. But I can't. I already know how it's going to end. Why would a school beauty, want to be with an outcast like me?.
So why...?
"Come sit here and let's get your wounds treated," she said softly. "The nurse isn't here, so I'll do it for you."
While she is doing it, she looks so focused. Every touch is as if I was made out of glass or something that needed to be handled with extra care. I can't help but feel heat rising in my cheeks and ears.
Ah, this little gesture makes me fall more in love with her.
After cleaning all the supplies she used to treat me, she closed the door and joined me in the hallway.
The hallway only echoed our footsteps. I glanced up at the window. I knew it was going to rain as the weather forecast said this morning. Luckily, I brought an umbrella.
And I was right; it was already raining by the time we made it to the front door.
"Ah, it's raining." She's smiling, watching as the water droplets hit the ground. "I forgot to bring my umbrella. How clumsy of me.".
I changed my mind. It's not every day I get to spend a quiet day with her like this, right?.
"Yeah, they're relaxing."
We watched the rain for some time. By the time I take a side glance at her, her face is peaceful.
"I love you" I said it quietly, hoping that she wouldn't hear me.
"I know," she says, chuckling. " I love you too, Jun.".
I froze in place. Did I hear it right? She loves me back? Is this a dream?.
.
"Jun, you were dozing off" Her face was just an inch in front of me. I can even feel her hot breath.
"b-but" I can feel the heat in my cheeks, and my heartbeat goes faster.
"It's hard to believe, eh? What, do you think i didn't notice the way you looked, talked, or treated me?".
"Oh..." I burried my face in my palm. i was too obvious. Why didn't I think before acting? Stupid, stupid, stupid... i'm so stupid .
"Woah there, don't hide your face from me, pretty boy." She said while grabbing my palm to take a look at my face. "Look at you, looking so beautiful but wanting to hide it from me." She gives me a seductive smile. "I'm not beautiful, i'm just some trash that--" She places a finger in my lips to shut me up. I just gave her a sigh before gently pushing her finger away and showing her my scar on the forehead.
"Look," She was quiet for a moment. I'm sure she will change her mind now.
"It doesn't change anything. Whatever happens, past or future, you'll always be Jun, who I fall in love with. " She traces a finger over my scars, It's just some soft touch as she was afraid to hurt me.
I felt some tears fall from my eyes. But it's not the same as this morning,
It's tears of happiness.
She gently wiped them away and gave me a reassuring smile before turning her focus back to the rain again.
"Let's go on a date tomorrow. We're going to see a movie together." She said it as she interwined her fingers with mine, without looking at me.
Dear Rain,
Can I be a little selfish?
Could you last a little longer?
