Close But Far
Chapter 1
Please wait for me in mountains
Was a mild night.
The moon was shining in the middle of the sky with its beautiful silver light.
Next to the river, under the beautiful moon little Guren was staring at its beauty with his big violet eyes.
"So beautiful…"
He whisper under his breath just like a prayer.
Why was he here? At the deep night under the beautiful moonlight next to the river, he was waiting for his only friend he had in whole the big world.
That wasn't cold but his little body was feeling cold by the thoughts of him not coming that night.
He was scared, scared of losing him. These few days ago he wasn't act like always. He wasn't like when he grabbed his little hands and put a flower ring on his little finger and promised to never leave his side, like when laughing and looking at him like he was the most precious person in whole the world.
These few days ago he was like…
Upset…
Want to cry and…
Was despair…
Guren asked him a thousands times to tell him what was wrong with him?
He begged him to let him help…
But all the time he was only smiling and patting his little head and caressing his soft hairs telling him everything was ok…
But Guren knew that something was not ok…
He sighted and layed on the grasses.
Facing the beautiful moon he heard his dearly voice…
His darling Shinya's voice…
"Did you wait for a long time?!"
Guren jumped and instead of facing the moon he faced him…
"Shinya!!!"
He runned and hugged dearly.
"Hahahaha!!! So you missed me?!"
Shinya tasted but Guren didn't care like always he did and only hugged him more tightly.
"I...I was worry that you won't come tonight."
His cute voice was a bit shaking, Shinya smiled and started patting his back.
"Sorry. I needed to study a bit more."
He said and then broke the hug to look at Guren's worry face more carefully, like, that was the last time he had time to look at him…
Tears gathered on his beautiful ocean eyes…
"Shinya...what is it..?" Guren was shocked by seeing his best friend like that…
A friend who was always cheering…
Who was always smiling happily…
Who was caring…
Who was kind and warm…
Who was definitely stronger than him...
That friend now, was near breaking and crying...
"Guren...I need to tell you something…" Shinya forced a smile…
A sad but warm smile which Guren had never saw before...and for love of God...that sad smile made Guren to shiver of fear violently…
"W...what is it….?"
His voice was a too low one but under that silent, peaceful plain on Aichi that was an enough loud one…
"Guren...my parents...had...had sold me to the royal family...to Hiiragi's…"
Guren was silent...he couldn't digest that…
Parents??!! Sold??!!! Hiiragi??!!
What on earth was happening???!!!!
Guren had knew something was wrong with his dear best only friend, but WHAT??!!
Was he joking??!!
Trying to taste him again??!!
Guren was begging to God that Shinya was lying but….
Shinya's eyes….
Shinya's sad smile…
They weren't lying….
"I don't get it…" he complained sincerely.
Shinya smiled again and cupped his face.
"Sorry...Guren...but I will leave tomorrow morning…"
Guren could hear his heartbeats clearly…
He could feel his mouth opening and closing several times…
He could feel his eyes became too hot…
And finally…
He could feel his hot tears on his cheeks…
Shinya couldn't bear seeing him like that…
He closed their distance and hugged him again…
This time more dearly…
"Hey….don't cry please my little cute bride…" Shinya joked like always he was joking about this kind of stuffs and tried his best to make it fun...but his tone wasn't a jokingly one anymore…he couldn't make a jokingly sound...
"I...I promise to come and find you someday...Guren...please wait for me in mountains…"
And by this....
In a blink of time...
10 years had past...
