Important Part Of Life

 

“Love, Ash, is an important part of life.”

 

The words you said that day, continue to echo in my mind.

 

“These plants could have all the nutrients, sunlight and water. But without love, they will perish.”

 

On that sweltering hot day, as you crouched by the blooming cherry plant, tenderly caring for it, the sun bore down on both of us. I, crouched beside you, gazed all too longingly at your profile. Your red, sun kissed skin, the shimmering beads of sweat that ran down the back of your neck, the way your brown hair shone golden in the sunlight, i wanted to engrave all of it in my mind.

 

You love for nature, gardening, was why i fell in love with you. The way your face bloomed when the flowers did, the way your eyes lit up when you breathlessly told me how your tomato plant had finally bore fruit. It was these small things that had plant the seeds of love in my heart. And soon i longed to caress you, like you did to your plants, for you to beam at me like you did when tending to your rose bush. Suffocating in unrequited desire, i wanted to fill your heart with a love nature could never provide.

 

And that very day, when i had leaned in and snached a kiss just as you turned towards me, i thought it was all over. But what a miracle! For just as i was to pull away, you interlocked your arms around my neck, pulling me closer, kissing back.

 

We had stared wide eyed at each other, before both bursting into fits of giggles. What had it been? I did not know. But it was as if we had silently understood each other, accepted each other's feelings. And those seeds of love in my heart, finally sprout.

 

“Ashton?.....Ashton! Hey!”

 

A voice suddenly jolted me out of my reverie. Looking towards the source, i realised with a start it had been my boyfriend, Michael.

 

“Oh, yea babe?” i replied in a daze.

 

“Jeez, look at you tuning off while im discussing how we are gonna revamp the garden!I’m starting to think you aren't even interested!”

 

Huffing in discontent, Michael plopped onto the sofa beside me with a pout. Chuckling, i wrapped my arms around him, pulling him on top of my lap, before leaning against him and resting my head in the crook of his neck.

“You know Mic, your giving so much time and attention to the plants in your garden, your forgetting this one right here.” I whispered against his ears.

 

“You mean the most neediest and frustrating plant i've ever had to tend to?” Michael laughed.

 

“ The one and only.”

 

Trailing soft kisses down the length of his porcelain neck, i relished in the pleasant warmth of Michael’s body, and the lingering scent of daisies and mint leaves that drifted off him.

 

“....Ill wither without you, you know?” I muttered, head buried in Michael's neck.

 

“Your love, it's what keeps me going, what makes me wanna get up each morning.”

 

“That...makes two of us…”

 

Lifting my head, i stared in confusion at Michael who merely leaned his head against my shoulder and beamed at me with twinkling eyes.

 

Ah, that's right.

 

This feeling of mine. Of being so hopelessly in love, i wasn't the only one plagued by it. It was mutual. A sweet suffering we both endured.

 

And as our lips met in a gentle kiss, from the depths of my heart came a silent prayer, for this love to last as long as we lived.

I was kinda reluctant to post this because I tried a new style but I am sorta pleased with it.

 

Word Count: Exactly 600 (phew~)

 

I give you... "Sketching You"

 

 

His muscles swelled from under his loose shirt. The veins on his arms were standing out like keloid scars. His limbs sutured to the muscular core that contained his organs and precious heart.

 

Lifting his shirt to wipe the sweat off his brow, revealed up to the bottom of his darkened areola. His shorts wore low, his v-line clear and the faint outline of the formation of abs barely visible unless one paid attention.

 

My pencil slid across the paper, defining the silhouette that now was crowded with girls who offered him water and towels.

 

Those long limbs were striding towards me but I took no initiative to look down, still staring as he rummaged through his bag that sat beside me. He captivated me.

 

His eyes caught hold of mine and the beauty of the whites of his sclera and the chromium grays of his iris’ sent tremors down my spine. I pulled my head down and focused on my paper and pencil. I can feel my larynx closing, my lips trembling and the sweat glands on my body heating up.

 

“May I sit here?” Tyler asked bent to meet my eye. I bob my head down signalling the "ok" absentmindedly. His name is Tyler but I don't dare venture for something more. On this college campus, there are so many strangers, knowing the name of a single person whom you haven't said a word to is… weird.

 

His sweat-soaked skin brushed against my own. Even after removing his arm, the heat that remained after that contact was like a blistering fever slowing making its way up to my face.

 

Before I could come back to reality, my sketchbook had fallen and my pencil rolled from me. I snatched the book and set it on the bench and chased my pencil only a few few from where I sat. The decision I made was almost like a surprise shot, before I realized, I was completely shocked at the sight that greeted me as I looked up. Tyler was looking down at the sketchbook, flipping the pages. Only then I realized that I had not closed it. I gingerly stepped back over to the bench and grabbed my sketchbook out of his sight, gathered my belongings and left the court.

 

From behind, I could hear steps gaining on me. I knew I was screwed. Tyler jumped in front of me, stopping us both from moving forward. His face was pink from either running or from embarrassment of being drawn. I looked down and was about to walk around him when he spoke.

 

“Your Cavlin, right? ...Uh, we have never talked but I see you sometimes at the basketball court so I knew just by asking… Um, I was just wondering…” He scratched his head at first but proceeded to cover his eyes as the embarrassment between us increased.

 

“...is that… me? In your sketchbook? Why do you draw me like that?” He pointed out the portraits of his face and then outlines of his body. My intestines and stomach were flopping as time passsed, trying to assess the best way to answer. I went with my nerdy-self answer.

 

“Oh, um… it’s your best feature. It’s also an important part of life. An attractive face invites suitable and… "unsuitable" mates for… you-know… reproduction.” My face turned at least 3 shades of red as the sentence came out.

 

We both stood in silence for a moment ‘til he broke it.

 

“Um, would you be interested in continuing this conversation over something to eat?”

 

“I would like that.” I shyly reply.

I had to decrease the word count from 683 to 600, haha usually I write kpop fics, so this is new...

 

Word Count:600 "All those Years Ago"

 

"Hey, remember when we were younger?" Toshi said, looking down at his wrinkly hands. Time had passed by so wonderfully, yet now it felt like it was going too fast.

 

"You mean when you were 17, and I spit watermelon seeds at your head? Yeah, I definitely remember that." Yamato chuckled, rocking in his chair.

 

There were both too old and frail to do much of anything, but that didn't stop them from reminiscing about the old days, when their bones were strong, and their joints could easily support their weight.

 

Toshi linked their hands together, watching the sunset slowly. "Those were the good old days. Sometimes I wish were were born decades later than we had been. Kids these days are so open with their relationships, we could've had fun."

 

"We always had to hide alot. It wasn't until we went to college that we actually had some privacy without the fear of getting caught."

 

Toshi didn't really feel all that old, especially with Yamato's hand in his. "We still had fun though."

 

Yamato grunted in response, though you could tell his mind was elsewhere.

 

"We did it like rabbits after your 21 birthday, didn't we?" Toshi blushed at the mention, but didn't remove his hand from Yamato's. "Yeah, but the only reason we waited was because your a year older than me."

 

"True. People would thought me a, what was the word, pedophile, perhaps because I was only a year older than you."

 

Yamoto grinned a toothy smile, pointing at Toshi. "We did get caught eventually, and they even split us, but hey, look where we are now. We're in our 60's and you still blush over mentions of sex."

 

Toshi lightly smacked his arm at that one. "It is too bad though. We might never get to see the legalization of gay marriage before the end of our lifetime."

 

The other agreed. "Even though the government hasn't done so, that didn't stop us." Their gold rimgs glinted in the sunlight, each on their respective right hand.

 

 

Ayano walked up the stairs of the porch, a warmth spreading as she saw her two father's, hands clasped, looking at each other with such love in their eyes. It really was wonderful feeling to experience.

 

She, along with her brother Satoshi, had brought their families over for dinner.

 

"Grandpa Toshi, Grandpa Yamato, we're here!" Screamed Ayano's four year-old daughter, Miki.

 

"Hey, hows my favorite granddaughter!" Yamato stands up, albeit, with a little trouble and picks up his little girl. What have you been up to lately? Have you been bad?"

 

"No, I've been a good girl. See, I drew a picture." He whisks off somewhere inside the house, her giggles echoing down the hallway.

 

Satoshi's son, five year-old Hajime, was shy and hide behind his father's leg. "Aww, don't tell me your scared of me, young man. Don't you like me?" Toshi says, mock saddness on his face.

 

"N-no, it's just-", he stutters forward, and Toshi catches him. "I want to be picked up to, but I'm too old, and heavy."

 

Toshi gave him a warm smile. "Now who told you that?"

 

The boy, blushed a little, probably ashamed at what he was about to say. "Miki did."

 

"Your fine, Miki's just messing with you. See-" he picks the boy up, "its fine."

 

Hajime hid his face in Toshi sweater, his obvious delight apparent with his laughs. He then carried him into the house where the others were.

 

The four of them smiled at each other, following the two jolly grandpas and their kids for dinner.

Lessons

 

 

 

I met Sam at a small diner where a date took me. It was disappointing, because the place was definitely not to my preferred standard. I kept sulking enough that my date up and left before our ordered food arrived. I was about to leave myself when a plate of food was placed before me by the most beautiful man ever. He was the cook at the diner, and he sometimes helped out by bringing the food to the tables himself.

 

It was love at first sight. Not only love though, it was lust and passion too. I would never forget my first night with Sam. His touch, his kisses, his husky voice and his damn sexy body was magic. And his heart was even more beautiful than he is. He stayed with the diner because the owner’s wife was sick and needed all the help he could get.

 

That became our problem though. I wanted him to find work somewhere better, a more higher-end restaurant. It seemed important to me back then. I was a junior partner in a company and I wanted to be seen as big money. As a child, It was an image I always looked up to and wanted to be someday. Lesson number one: Childhood dreams can change.

 

I didn’t know that then. So Sam and I fought, and fought… until genius that I was, I thought it was better for us to part ways. And so we parted ways. Lesson number two: When you find that most important person that will become your everything, hold on tight, never let go.

 

So here I am at a hotel lobby, halfway across the globe waiting for my Sam to start his vacation. The glass door of the hotel lobby opened and there he is, my Sam. I wanted to run and just hold him close to me. I froze when the man beside him holding a baby who looks like a miniature Sam smiled warmly. Lesson Three: Watching your dreams die in front of you is like the dullest knife stabbing your heart. Watching another man living you dream with the love of your life is even worse. You should avoid it at all cost.

 

When Sam saw me, he came straight to me and wanted to know what I was doing here. I took the chance to tell him what I came to tell him. I wanted him to know why money mattered to me. I told him about how growing up as an orphan, I had to fight for everything I had, food, clothes, even a bed. How I saw men of money having power and good things, and how their lives seem perfect to a poor orphan. How being rich has been my goal in life because I didn’t want to be that poor orphan ever again. And how wrong I had been, thinking money is more important than him.. But he’s got a family now and I know I’ve lost him forever.

 

Sam said I should have told him all these from the beginning. I just nodded. Heartbroken, I turned to leave. But Sam caught my wrist and pulled me toward his lover and child until we were in front of them. Sam introduced his brother-in-law, Tony and his nephew Carl, and it was only then that I saw a pretty woman standing behind them who can only be Sam’s sister. Sam smiled and winked and my heart started beating again. Lesson Four: Get your facts right before you let the most important part of your life pass you by.

LOOKING FORWARD

 

 

The rain was falling heavily outside his window, the skies were cloudy and the temperature of the room was a bit chilly. He was sitting on his couch by the window with a blanket over his legs, to keep the cold air from seeping through. He loved watching the rain fall, it always calmed him, making his racing mind slow down a bit, especially on days like this when all he could think about was the upcoming trials. Everything he had worked so hard for was finally going to pay off, his efforts were going to come to fruition.

 

All his life he had known that the trials determined where in society you were placed, what you would do and more importantly who you interacted with outside your family. Connections were made and lost in the training period, and only within the results of the trials you could gain them back. Adam fell in love with William the first week of studies, the knowledge imparted at that time was general, the basics that everyone needed to know, so all the new students were allowed to interact with one another and get acquainted. He immediately felt at ease with William, his company made him happy and made his days brighter. In the following months they developed a camaraderie that grew into a friendship over the first years of training. That had to stop abruptly when their paths were separated because of the course their skills took them, so from then on he rarely saw him aside from the general gatherings and special occasions.

 

Deciding to stop his wandering mind, he got off the couch and prepare himself for sleep, the morning would come soon enough. The following days saw him immersed in the trials so he couldn’t spare a thought for anything else. His energy was focused on the task at hand and so he gave it his all. This felt right, as if a guiding hand was leading the way. Finally, after everything was said and done, he could relax and wait for the results.

 

The morning the results were delivered was rainy as well, Adam was just finishing his tea when the phone rang. He was placed as a strategist in the international affairs division and was given the specifics for the position, further instructions were to be deliver in person the following day at his work. The next day saw him at the final steps to the 18th floor were his office was located. He was looking for his access card on his coat when he heard a voice call his name, he turned to look and there he was – William – at the end of the hall, all handsome and smiling at him.
