Author's Note: Hehehe! Asami is weird, there is no denying that! Anyway, I kind of forgot to add Takaba's Point of View, and I was planning on doing that a while back...Sheesh, I'm posting too many finder series fics aren't I? Should I stop? Anyway, here is Takaba's letter to Asami.
Oh yeah, I don't own the Finder Series.
Takaba walked around the flat, confused and feeling dumb.
Three days had passed since he had read the letter Asami wrote for him, three days and there had been no mention of it. Hell, Takaba didn't even thank Asami...he felt so ungrateful for that. Asami took the time to write a letter and Takaba couldn't even thank him for it? Gosh...
Asami was at work by now, giving Takaba a chance to come up with something.
"I'll just write him a letter!" He proclaimed to no one. "He took the time to write one, I'll take the time to write one."
Takaba made way to his room and spent about an hour looking for paper. When finally he found it, he sat down and began to write.
Garbage... His letter so far was nothing compared to the passionate letter Asami wrote him, so like a story that didn't make the cut, Takaba crumpled it up and began again.
"Dear Asami" Nope.
"Dear Asami-chan." Nope.
"Dear Ryuichi." Nope, and very odd.
"Dear, Ryu - Ryu Chan." Just flat out rude. Asami was seven years older than Takaba, if the note was going to be horeshit, it at least had to have some respect for Asami in it.
Takaba took the deepest breath, and letting his heart take control , he began to write.
It was a stressful day at work. All Asami really wanted to do was rest.
Sudoh kept on throwing himself on Asami causing the older man to get self conscience about his personal space, as he was only used to one person touching him.
As Asami made his way further into the flat, it appeared that "one person", was already fast asleep in his room.
Asami tossed his briefcase in the armchair and made his way to the kitchen. The food had a powerful scent that drew Asami towards it like a starved dog. As he entered the kitchen, something on the counter caught his eye.
An envelope, addressed to him.
Without pondering on who wrote it, Asami opened it and took it to the living room.
Dear Asami,
Oh God...this is so strange, but I just wanted you to know that I read your letter, and it managed to make me cry. Yes, you can laugh now or smile because I know that's what you're doing. You always do that, and then, there's that look you give. At first, it scared the hell out of me, now I've just learned to get used to it...Ugh, what am I doing?!
I just...okay, you told me what you thought about me, now it's my turn to return the favor. I'll be honest. When i first met you, I hated you AND I think we both knew that was very justified. At the time, two and two just didn't add up and well...I was just trying to get by. You came into my life and things just started to fall apart...During those times, I just...I didn't know what to feel. I didn't know what you felt for me Asami and well, I was still somewhat terrified of you , I was beginning to tear myself up because of that. During the Hong Kong incident, well I thought I was a goner, I didn't think you'd come for me. That's a lack of faith I understand, on my part and for that I'm really sorry, but what can I say?
Now presently, I know we have some sort of relationship, some sort of stable and established relationship despite the things that happen on the outside. Like let's say for instance, that Sudoh man...I don't want to sound like a baby, so I won't get too into depth with him. But, I think...I'll just let it all out here, it's my only chance right?
I feel so, inferior to you and to those you are around, I feel like I only weigh you down, like I don't belong. Sometimes, I wonder why you even keep my around, I'm such a liability, I'm clumsy and I'll admit sometimes I can be downright dumb. Just know that if ever you feel the need to kick me out because of my imperfections and negativities, I won't hold it against you.
I really do love you Asami, like really really love you. It's so crazy, how it happened I mean, our relationship in general, but I'm pretty sure I had feelings for you before then. It's not uncommon for normal people like me to have crushes on rich people. Yes, I read about you in a few magazines before we officially met. I just thought you were downright handsome, and weird. You are a very strange person Asami, I just wanted to throw that out there. But seeing you...I just, you're like my drug, my own personal drug. I feel light headed whenever you walk in the same room that I'm in, whenever you smile or just look my way. I'm always on alert, trying to make sure I don't do something stupid in your presence, that would be awful.
Huh...am I just rambling? Let me make this quick then.
As much as I love you (which I do a lot), I am worried about you a hundred times more. I worry every night that you may not return home and the thought just tears me apart. Asami, it's so hard to love you knowing that anyone can easily take you from me and I have little to no control! Please be careful Asami, and I know it's pretty annoying, having a twenty four year old tell you this but...please...I love you so so much and oh God, if anything happened to you I'd die...
Yes, I know you have enemies...but don't submit to that fact! I know it's not that much of a problem for you but remain strong, it scares me when you acknowledge that you can die. I know that sounds stupid but...but...ugh.
Crap, I'm crying now, the stupid paper is getting all soggy...
Your letter gave me the strength I needed at this time, now that I know how we feel about each other. It makes things a lot easier Asami, and thank you so much for taking that step. I only thought it would be right to return the favor.
This whole letter probably sounds like nothing but a teenage girl confessing her love, but what the hell, I think I got my point across.
-Akihito Takaba
(PS: Can we have no mention of this letter please? And would you be offended if I started calling you by your first name? I mean, we're practically married if you think about it...wait, nevermind.)
Asami read over the letter thoroughly and smiled, he even chuckled a bit.
So Takaba did read his letter and what a response! At least now they were on equal terms on understanding and how they felt about each other. That put even Asami at ease.
However, his eyes studied the last part of the letter.
"We're practically married if you think about it." He read again and smiled.
Asami Akihito really did have a nice ring to it. Perhaps that was something Ryuichi would have to think about.
D'aww, okay, done with that little ficlet! Hope you liked it, it was cute, heartwarming, I hope I portrayed Takaba's personality alright! Please review, tell me your thoughts.
