Ordinary love

Author's Note:

This is my first fic so please review it so I can write better next time! Also you might think, why is it that I chose Hiramatsu? Well it's mainly because I loved her scenes in the anime and felt bad for her because she had so few even though she was the only one who had a clear crush on Ayumu from the beginning of the series. On top of that when I came to this site to check up on whether there would be any fics about her I found out that she wasn't even listed as a character and I just needed to do something about that! ;)

So without further ado, lets begin!

Chapter 1 - Sunset

Ayumu woke up in his bed thinking about how boring school has been lately. This hardly ever bothered him, he usually liked boring because there was a kind of peace surrounding it he liked. Shaking off these thoughts he got up took a shower than went downstairs where his friends were waiting for him.

"You got here late Ayumoron! We had to wait for you!" shouted a brown-haired girl. I'm sorry Haruna. I just overslept a bit" Ayumu replied a sheepish smile creeping on his face.

'It doesn't matter, we should just eat.' said a note written by Eu. Ayumu nodded a sat in front of the table where the others were waiting.

After breakfast he stepped out the door and went off to school. During walking he started to think about his life and why is it that boredom suddenly bothered him. It took up his mind so much that he didn't notice that most of the long walk has already passed. He only looked up when he felt eyes watching his back. He turned around just to see one his classmates Taeko Hiramatsu.

He looked at her and greeted her. "Hey, Hiramatsu!"

"Hi, Aikawa." the girl replied shyly, averting her gaze. "I didn't know that you took this route to school." Ayumu started the conversation. The girl blushed slightly and replied still not looking at Ayumu "We just moved houses".

"I see, and where do you live now?"

The girls blush deepend and she was silent for several seconds. "Next to you..." she finally said. Ayumu didn't say anything just stared at her surprised then he looked at his watch, his class would start in 2 minutes! Without a word he left the girl and ran to school. Hiramatsu looked at him in the distance, confused.

Ayumu just barely got to class in time. Needless to say Hiramatsu was late and was given after-school work as punishment. Ayumu felt really bad for the girl given he basically left her to be late. After school he stayed in class as always watching as the sun set. He always told his close friends that he was staying because he couldn't stand the sunlight but the truth was that he got to love sunsets. He could clear his thoughts and he felt at peace.

As he was enjoying the view a familiar figure stood in front of him. To his surprise it was Hiramatsu. She must've had to work until that late, but he really didn't think that after what had happened that morning she would still speak to him. He looked down not able to keep eye-contact out of guilt. "I'm sorry I left you there this morning" he mumbled quietly.

When he looked up he was even more surprised to see that the girl was smiling brightly at him her cheeks slightly red as usual. "It wasn't your fault. I was new to this route and didn't know how long it took me to get to school." she said sheepishly.

"And that's exactly why I should've helped you..." Ayumu replied still feeling guilty. The girl just kept smiling and decided to change subject. "I always wondered why you stayed in school this late every day."

The boy was taken aback by the question and he didn't know what to reply. Naturally he couldn't tell her that he was a zombie. He then decided to just tell the truth he held even from his closest friends. "I love sunsets." He stated simply "There's something about them that relaxes me and they are really beautiful watched from this window."

The answer noticeably surprised the girl who could only murmur "Aikawa..."

The boy noticed Hiramatsu's reaction and smiled. "Would you like to join me?" The girl looked down at him blushing then nodded slightly. She brought a chair next to Aikawa and looked out the window.

What she saw made her gasp for air. She never saw anything like it. As the sun set behind the tall buildings of the city it lit the sky in orange light. It was like giant flames trying surround the buildings. It was simply amazing.

When she was able to break out the trance it was already dark. She looked around herself just to find Ayumu looking at her, smiling. They looked into each other's eyes. The girl tried to close the distance between them however Ayumu quickly broke the eye contact and looked away. Hiramatsu was confused and then she felt embarrassed.

'Of course, why would someone like Aikawa even like me...?'

The thought crept to her mind. It only silenced when the boy next to him spoke "I'm sorry, Hiramatsu. I just really like you and I suddenly felt really embarrassed." he said with a shy smile on his face. The girl looked at him, surprised, her face flushing. "I think we should go home." she said looking away. Ayumu nodded then he stood up.
