Disclaimer: Natsume said that I don't own Gakuen Alice and its characters, so I don't have the right to overwork them. Okay, I admitted that he's right, but hey, don't blame if I have many ideas to make more stories!

Oh well, I hope that all of the readers will like this story.

Before Touch: Let Me Tell You a Story

Touch…

What is a touch?

A touch is one of many ways to socialize with peoples.

It's when your skin collides with the others' even for a bit.

A simple gesture, yet comfortable.

Sending a warm feeling throughout your body.

You need no money to please…

You need no word to comfort…

Just a simple touch.

A silent conversation.

That's what I felt whenever the person touched me.

The touch is gentle…

The warm is eternal…

The serenity is flowing through my veins…

I like every touch the person gave me.

A very special person…

In my already not young again age, I always recall my memories when I was young; when I was still a teenager.

The first time I met with the person…

Those days that we have gone through together…

Holding on each other…

Depending on each other…

But, what I most remember is the touches.

I'm longing for the touches…

Strange…

Suddenly I can feel it…my time…

It looks like my time will come soon…

Well, I better do what I can do before it comes. So, let me tell you a story.

A story about a boy and a girl that were trying to understand each other in their limited time. Their happy but also sad moments. All things that they had gone through. And the moment when they finally gained what they had been wishing for.

Like the other stories that you ever heard, in this story, there's also sad and happy moment.

Though the paths were full of obstacles and tears…

There were always ways out and the tears would dry.

In the end…

Don't lose hope…

Don't shred any tears…

Because there's nothing to be cried about.

Nothing to be mused.

Nothing to be regretted.

Hold those words in your heart and I'll start the story now…
