Well this is the last one I'm posting here for a while, crawling back to my cave for the summer. Actually that's a lie I'll be working on akiba and the dark years. Hopefully I'll finish the latter and get another 100 drabbles done before school starts back up.
Smile - Takayanagi Akane&Yagami Kumi
Happiness is so much harder to capture than sadness, because when can we truly tell that a person isn’t hiding behind their laughter and smiles?
You can go around with the fakest smile possible and there would still be people who would believe that you are happy. Nobody to truly understand how you are feeling, nobody would take that extra moment to ask if you’re alright.
Why have friends, if they can’t even see past that smile?
“Akane are you walking to the station with us?” They would ask everyday and like usual I would politely refuse them. It was painful enough to have to deal with these people during school hours; I couldn’t even stand the possibility of another painful 15 minutes with them.
The people around me found it strange that I would even bother to go to school when I had universities begging me to attend and even without going to school for the next half a year I could still easily ace the entrance exams. You wouldn’t know, but you were my only motivation for going to school, to even continue this façade. Call me silly, but the only person in the world who could make me smile was you, Yagami Kumi.
If anything I was surprised at my lack of… taste in women, I had fallen for the dumbest girl in the whole school. In fact it was well known that the only reason why you managed to make it into such a prestigious high school was because they wanted you as part of their dance team – one of the best in the entire country.
To be entirely honest, unlike your legion of mindless fangirls I didn’t fall for your superior dancing. I had no interest whatsoever in any of that, instead I fell for your dumbass attitude, your sheepish smile, your try hard attitude and your ability to put a smile on everyone’s face.
“Churi~ churi~ wakey wakey~” You said in that annoying high pitched voice of yours while poking at my forhead. I gave you a glare and you just gave me that goddamn smile of yours. “What do you want Yagami.” I muttered trying to bury my head in my arms so you wouldn’t see that blush that was starting to creep onto my face.
“I can’t walk home with you today; they’re extending dance practice and won’t let me leave early.” You told me with a sad tone and with that god forbidden pout of yours. Are you trying to kill me? “W-who said I was waiting for you, I just wanted to catch up on some sleep.” I stuttered out while mentally slapping myself, even a five year old wouldn’t believe that. What happened to your genius-ness Takayanagi Akane, stop chucking it out a window whenever that derp is near you.
“But… I like walking home with Churi.” You replied sadly, shifting your gaze from my eyes to outside the window. That’s right, I forgot you were even dumber than a five year old. From behind me I heard a snicker, “Oh Manatsu I didn’t notice you were still here.” The dumbass in front of me greeted as her eyes brightened. “Of course you wouldn’t I’m not your beloved Churi-chan.” Manatsu replied still snickering before gathering her stuff and walking out the door. “Have a nice day, lovebirds.” She said before closing the door, and chuckling at my glare.
I turned back to you, your face was completely flushed. Which was the most dfiodjf;oisjf thing ever, you shyly made eye contact with me and it was as if my traitorous heart was going to jump out of my chest and elope with you. We just stayed there shyly glancing at each other until another unneeded person decided to interupt.
“Yosh, Kuumin it’s time for practice stop cavorting with Akane already!” The loud voice of Kuwabara Mizuki rung through the hallways. You just turned an even deeper red, if you have even a little more blood go to your head I would be sure that you would faint. You almost tripped trying to get yourself to the door, “I-I guess I’ll see you tomorrow!” you stammered out before running out into the hallways.
I sighed before lazily pulling myself up, “Time to head home and sleep” I muttered to myself. Walking outside into the hallways I could hear the faint music coming from the dance room. ‘Maybe… just for a bit?’ I asked myself, only to shake my head and walk away from the music. I was at the station when your flushed face showed up in my mind again, I smiled faintly. Maybe another day, maybe another day I’ll have enough courage to give you the letter. That letter that was stuffed between my unused textbooks waiting to be given.

I seriously had this thing for letters when i wrote this, the letter never sent, and Mata Ne. They were all written like maybe a week apart at the most anyways.
Well I'm outta this thread /o/
If you need me I'll be in the other two or you can drop by here:
