AU.
It was another chilly afternoon, no snow at sight but the wind was the problem. A final sweep at the fairly clean pavement then I made my way in back the store.
"All done Nii-san..."
"Thanks Lenalee..." Komui, my older brother and the owner of the shop said.
I sat down at a table the one nearest the counter staring outside the glass wall, seeing a couple (I assume) one of them has a firey orange-red hair while the other has a raven colored hair.
The one with the firey hair was snuggling at the other male (but seriously I thought he was a "she" not until I had a better view of his features) but the other shrugged him off and walked ahead. The firey-haired man catched up then quickly took hold of his hand, which made the raven-haired man blush.
I followed them as they pass by outside the shop and how I thought the two of them look good together. No offense but seriously how affectionate they are to each other (excluding at how shy the raven-haired man was) really shows at how they love each other.
Somehow I feel rather envoius at them. Not even once in my life that I had someone else (except nii-san) love me. I feel really lonely, longing for some love, waiting. All this time I never tell nii-san about this because for sure he'll cry and cling onto me about how I should not leave him. I'll never do that but for heaven's sake I am already 20! And I'm suprised at how nii-san never get married.
Okay, now I'm being dramatic again.
I sighed heavily to myself, while resting my head at the table.
"Say, nii-san... Can I go home ahead?" I asked while peaking towards the counter.
Suddenly a about-to-cry was all over his face, "W-Why...Lenalee?..."
"Some feminine bussiness and please don't ask what that is." I lied.
Then nii-san's face was like 'Oh' and just nodded. "Do you need...some... cover or something?"
"No need, and please even though your my brother it freaks me out to even talk something like this about you."
Another lie, and I was getting good at it. I never knew why but whenever I see couple pass by I can't help but to feel depressed.
I immediately packed my things from the backroom, oh how rude I forgot to mention that Nii-san and I own a pastry shop downtown and so far our bussiness is blooming.
Now as I got out of the shop, I made a final wave at nii-san and off I go.
For starters I'm wasn't planning of going home just yet and where I'm suppose to go to was unsure either. All I did was walk walk and walk.
My feet wandered me to the local park, wow a smart place to go at a chilly afternoon.
Now I'm mocking to myself?
I really need to get a life.
I walked nearer to the swing only to be surprised by a stranger sitting on it.
He looked really young maybe around my age but what surprised me was his white hair. Is it in the fashion? I shook my head and started to walk away.
"Life sure is harsh isn't it?..."
I turned back to see the man talking to me. And wow he was cute! Shoot now's not the time to be thinking this senseless craps.
"You've said it..." I replied.
I walked closer and sat at the other swing beside him.
"I guess you must had it hard too?" he said to me. Now I saw more of his features, he has a red scar running along from his left eye to his left cheek.
"Yeah, boring life a repeating cycle everyday..." I said as I rub my hands together. I should have brought my gloves with me.
He must have noticed it then all of the sudden a light blue scraf was wrapped around my freezing hands. "You must be cold, hope this helps..." then flashing a gentle smile. I felt my heart skip a beat and my face to feel hot.
"Aah... Thank you..." Then I wrapped them more on my hands.
"By the way, I'm Allen...." He said offering a extended hand over to me.
"Lenalee..." I replied as I shook his gloved covered hand then returning to wrap them back by the scarf.
"So..." I started after a moment of silence.
"Want to talk about why life sucks?..." I finally let out.
"Yeah... I really want to let out all of my hatred... but seriously would you listen?" For a moment his face looked like he was hesistating to say something which is normal, why would you say all your problems to a stranger you've just met?
"I will... But you sure you can trust me?" I wanted to be sure, I don't want to force people on saying some private matters.
"I'm not sure either but when I look at you, you seem to be the type that cares about other people..." the way he said those lines really touched my heart so much, he was really mush like a gentleman.
I tried my best to refrain myslef from blushy furiously but was failed.
"Thank...You..." I mumble in between words.
Okay, don't tell me... I'm falling for him? C'mon! I just met him!
"My life isn't out of the ordinary... Boring job, a terror boss, a creepy stalker, my friend left for China and he was my only friend... Then I live alone, I don't know what else to do... Today's my father's death anniversary... I'm almost broke and very miserable at the same time..."
My eyes was just wide open, he really has hard and wait... Did he just said... Death... Anniversary?
"A-Allen..."
He turned his head to me, eyes full of sadness in it. I can't help but to feel pity so much pity for him. Then a wet hot tear trailed down at my cheek.
"Miss Lenalee!..." then he rushed to my side quickly.
"I-I'm so sorry..." Now tears were pouring onto my face.
I continued to sob my heart out. Why am I crying? I asked myself. I don't know why either.
I was suddely surprised as I felt arms wrapping around my self and a warm body pressing against me. My heart raced and I was so confused.
"Shh... Please stop crying..." he was hushing me to stop crying and he was patting my back slowly in enouragement.
We stayed like that for a moment, light was slowly being engulfed by darkness as I realized that it was getting late.
I gently pushed him away and smiled, "I'm alright now..."
"Good to hear..." He said as he stroked a strand of hair away from my eyes.
"I better get going now... My brother would be worried..."
"I'll walk you home... It's getting dark already..."
"Ah-No... Please it's just a few block away from here..."
He just smiled in response and nodded. He help me up to my feet, I gave him back the scarf he lended me but gave them back to me again.
"You can have it..." He kindly offered.
"B-But..."
"No buts... Please I insist..." Another smile flashed at his face.
"Thanks..." I shyly replied.
He was really nice and sweet.
I made my way back home, I looked back and waved at him and he did too in return then I continued on walking.

-2 years later-
~
I was walking home from the grocery as I stumbled over the park again.
Wow this is getting a habit of mine.
I stared at the swing, the same swing where I first fell in-love.
He's not here anymore stupid, get over him!
Even though I say that to myslef many times I can't seem to forgot those sweet eyes and smile of his. Those comforting and soothing voice of his.
And so far I still am single and miserable as always.
Again, I am loathing for him everytime I walk around here.
I just laughed at how stupid I was. He was just someone whom I've met and the next day he was another stranger in my life.
I walked back home.
Leaving once again, like I always do.
I hope wherever he is now... I hope he is happy...
