>.> manga. Drives you nuts. ----- The cherry blossoms, they bloom in Spring. The fragrance and scent they emit are enough to drive a couple insane with love, if that's even possible. Young love. What is it? Many say it is only an infatuation between two. But... Even young and misguided love, can form into true love. You... Just have to believe. "Kill me now." "... Arisu..." "If I can't love you, if your laws are too sacred to break, if you're too cowardly, afraid, and full of pride to love me back, then do it. End my misery... End my life, so we won't suffer the consequences, and live the life we dreamed and planned of." I had thrusted the knife to him back then, and he only looked down at me with sad eyes. I only smiled at him, my eyes closed as to endure the blade sliding into my skin, and to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. I felt the tip being pressed against my abdomen, and I only whispered these words to him. "Do it..." I was expecting a blow that would end my life permanently, a knife to the heart, a painful goodbye. What I recieved was, nothing. Only the sound of a weapon being dropped onto the floor, and a warm embrace that meant nothing to us... Only a flicker of our flame was alive. "Why..." "Arisu. I'm too stupid to love you. You don't deserve me. I'm too stupid to accept my fate, too stupid to cross the line. Most of all... I was too stupid... That I couldn't prevent myself from falling in love with you." 'From falling in love with you...' You. You. YOU. ... Me. "Promise... To never leave my side?" "... I promise, Arisu." Promises... From a Solitary... Was like a sacred vow, a chain that would never break, a bond that has just begun... A promise, that not even satan from hell could break. ----- >.>
