It looks
like most of the fan fics i've read are about gays and homosexuals
and u know stuff like that...so i decided to write one which
was diferent. This is my first fanfic, and i'm not a very
good writter, but please have fun reading it! This fanfic
is strictly for people who doesn't like the one about love
between men, and mainly focuses on Hyde. Ok here is my fanfic:
It
was the year 2000 and I was living in Tokyo. My parents
thought that it was best for me to come to Tokyo and learn
Japanese lifestyles, as I am half Japanese. My mom a French
woman who met my Japanese Dad who was working in Paris fell
in love with each other right away. Considering that I'm
half Japanese, I hardly speak the language at all and know
very little about Japan as I have always lived in France.
It was time for me to go and 'become more Japanese' as my
parents described it.
"Great",
I thought, "I don't have any friends there, I kinda speak
the language, and on top of all that I'll have to be living
alone". Nevertheless I agreed to go because I knew I really
didn't have the choice. My year in Japan was in reality
much better than I thought because it is where I felt my
first love.
It
was 2:15am and I could not sleep. I went out of my condo
to the nearest conbini, 7-eleven to get something to drink
to kill the time. After having bought a can of apple juice
I walked out of the conbini and sat of the pavement by the
road. The only source providing light was the moon and the
streetlamps of Shibuya. I sat there alone for 3 minutes
admiring the emptiness and quietness of Shibuya Street,
which is of course a total contrast to the day. I felt lucky
to be living in a condo in Shibuya (thanks to my rich parents),
it was not only convenient but was also a fun place to live
as it is always busy. A minute later I heard the door of
the conbini pushed open and the 'ting-tong' jingle sounded,
and a man walked out wearing long black pajamas and covered
by another layer of black coat down to his knee to keep
him warm. "How confident is he to come down here buying
beer in his pajamas?" I thought to myself. Seconds later
I ignored him and looked right back at the empty street
that I was admiring.
"Want
one?" the man had come over to sit next to me and is offering
me a beer.
"Err,
no thank you", I was shocked by his approach and thought
maybe we knew each other as he asked me in such a knowing
tone. He took a sip of his beer and looked up at the moonlit
sky and said.
"Such
a beautiful night but what a shitty day."
Confusingly
I said, " Why do you say that? I thought my day was fine".
"Well maybe its because you didn't have your girlfriend
or boyfriend in this matter break up with you today"
"Oh…sorry"
I said sympathetically. "Is that why you are drinking beer
on the street at 2:30 in the morning?"
"Yes,
I think so" "Do you wanna talk about it?"
"Whatever,
since I have no one to talk to right now, all my friends
are all asleep" Trying to think of a question to ask him
I finally asked, "So why did she break up with you?"
"According
to her it's because I don't give enough attention, which
is a total bull shit because I love her more than anything
and I let her prior to everything", he was sounding both
sad and angry now and I didn't know if I should ask further.
"You must have really loved her.." I said finally. I'm really
sounding like a bartender who listens to drunkard's problems
now.
"oh
well, it doesn't matter how much I love her, because we
are no longer together. I don't know how I'm gonna go to
work tomorrow"
There
was silence for a couple of seconds and I took a closer
look at his face and noticed that he had a very beautiful
face for a man. He looked like he was 24, four years older
than me. His eyes were the most attracting thing on his
face. He had black sincere eyes with a slight look of sorrowness
hidden inside. After seeing his eyes I felt real empathy
for him. I realized how much he must have loved his girlfriend.
"I'm sorry about your girlfriend, I wouldn't know how you
feel because I have not experienced love before", which
was true, I have had a lot of short term relationships but
never one which lasted more than 4 months and where I felt
like I love the guy I'm with.
"You
have never experienced love?" he asked and I shook my head.
"I never experienced love until I met Megumi either."
"Megumi...is
that her name?"
"Yea..
but I would always call her Meggy. But I thought everyone
knew that already, that I'm going out with Ms. Sweet Voice
Megumi"
"haa?"
I said and thought, "This guy must be really drunk now to
think that everyone knows who his girlfriend is." He finished
his 2nd beer can and was drawing out another can of beer
from his six pack beer case.
"You're
not Japanese are you?" he asked.
"Umm,
I'm half Japanese and half French. How did you know?" I
replied.
"Your
accent doesn't sound Japanese." I made a face, "But it is
very close" he added.
I
giggled and said ' It's ok, I already know my accent's crap
but I'm learning."
"So
why aren't you asleep yet?" he asked.
"Oh
I don't know actually…I tried to sleep but it didn't work
so I got bored and came down here".
"I
get that sometimes too, but when that happens I usually
end up doing my work instead"
"You
sound very busy, what do you do?"
He
hesitated and thought of his job.
"umm…I'm in the recreational industry, I just write…stuff."
"You
write stuff? Like articles and poems like that?"
"Yea
something like that"
I
realized he didn't like to talk about his job so I ended
that topic there.
"What about you? What are you doing here?" he asked.
"My
parents just felt that I need to learn more about my Japanese
side so they sent me here to live for a year."
"So
how has it been"
"Its
good but I'm quite lonely because I don't have any real
friends here yet, and I don't really know my way around
Tokyo"
"As a thank you that you stayed out here in the cold listening
to my depressed life, I'll be glad to take you around Tokyo"
"Really!?"
"Of
course!"
The
dawn was gradually entering so we decided to go back home.
The man stood up and fell right back down on to the pavement.
"Are
you ok?" I said looking at him knowing answer to the question.
"I'll take you back home, it's near here right?"
He
pointed to the condominium I lived in and said 'top floor'.
The man I have been talking to for the past hour turned
out to live just 5 floors above me.
"Phew"
I thought knowing that it wouldn't have to be a long walk
taking him back. He looked totally wasted so I put his arm
around my back and supported him home. We reached his front
door and I said, "well good night…umm"
"Hyde"
he said deeply.
"Well,
good night Hyde"
He
opened his door and found that there was a women seated
inside. She was tall, slender and very beautiful.
"Meggy!"
he shouted with glee. "Why did you come back?" sounding
hopeful.
"Single
for less than 12 hours and already you have got a partner
to sleep with" she said in a bitchy voice looking at me.
"I just came back here to get all of my belongings, so that
not a piece of me remains with you. Sayonara Hyde" she said
coldly.
I
was shocked by her attitude; it was so different from what
I imagined her to be, from the way Hyde described her. She
left quickly and Hyde walked into his condo and laid flat
on his sofa.
"I'm
gonna go now ok? Can you stay here alone?" I asked through
the ajar of his front door.
"I'll
be fine, thank you. Sorry for how she looked at you" he
said and fell right a sleep. I left straight away and went
back to my bed and also fell straight asleep.
--------------------------------------
It
has been over 2 weeks and I haven't seen Hyde for a second
time. It was weird, I only met him for 2 hours but I felt
like wanting to go up to his condo and just say hi, but
I never had the courage to as I didn't know what else I
wanted to say. We never met in the lounge area downstairs,
which obviously means that he leaves and returns to the
condo at awkward hours. I couldn't wait for the second chance
to come.
It
was 9pm and I was waiting for a train at Ginza to go back
home. I sat on the bench staring down to the floor listening
for the sound of the arrival of the train. I had spent the
entire day after class shopping and felt extremely tired.
There were a couple of people also waiting for the train.
As if by fate, a man dressed in black suit arrived at the
platform and stood still waiting for a train. He had a mysterious
and dark look, a look which attracted women to search into
him. Seconds later he turned his head and looked right at
me with a do-I-know-you sort of expression. It was Hyde.
My heart was beating faster, I was feeling nervous and at
the same time happy. 'I know this feeling" I thought to
myself, "I like this man standing in front of me".
He
walked over and said casually, "Hi, remember me?"
I
stood up from the bench, "Yea I remember you. How are you
feeling?"
"I'm
great thanks, Meggy doesn't love me anymore but I'm feeling
fine. Thank you for looking after me that night…I never
had the chance to say thank you. I'm surprised to see you
again."
"Oh,
don't mention it. I didn't do much at all, just took you
to your door…by the way, we live in the same building."
I said finally, I was dieing to let him know that we lived
near each other.
"Really??!
Wow, that's really cool! Hey, what's your name anyway?".
"I
have two names, a Japanese one and a French one, but people
use my Japanese name here. It's Kanako"
The
train had arrived and we got on together. "Are you going
home?" he said, leaning against one of the walls on the
train. I noticed that quite a lot of people looked at him
and started smiling, mostly girls. People were pointing
and whispering. I thought there was something wrong on Hyde's
coat or something but finally I realized. They were not
looking at his coat, they were looking at him. He had the
most extraordinary beautiful face. I had been talking to
him for the past 5 minutes but was too nervous to recognize
his astonishing beauty, and I never had a chance for a good
look 2 weeks ago. He had cherry red lips, smooth white skin
and oval shaped face and the most remarkable thing were
still his sincere eyes. His hair was jet black and was shoulder
length that was cut unevenly, but it was all tied back.
"Yea
I'm going home now. I just finished my daily Japanese class
and shopping routine." I finally replied. "What are you
doing here?" I asked.
"I
finished work early today so I went shopping for some food"
he said shyly.
"Wow, hard working and a cook are you. How impressive" I
said jokingly. What was wrong with me? That line would usually
be flirtatious if I said it to any other guy I liked! But
why is it with Hyde I can't be cheap and hit on guys I just
knew.
I
noticed him blushing a little bit, and I felt bad so I changed
the subject.
"So,
your boss lets you go quite late does he?" I asked.
"err,
yea, something like that" he said. There was silence and
he finally said, "Would you like to have dinner with me
tonight? I'm home alone and cooking".
"OH
MY GOD!! YES YES YES!" I thought to my self, but simply
said 'alright'.
We
arrived at Shibuya train station and walked back to the
condo together.
"Do
you always take the train?" he asked.
"Yea,
that's the only transportation I use. You?"
"I
usually use my car but it broke down today, so the only
alternative is the train" We arrived at the condo.
"I'll
go put my shopping stuff in my condo and get changed and
I'll see you for dinner in half an hour?" I asked.
"That's
good" he assured.
I
got back into my condo and was feeling happier than ever.
The guy I like has invited me to dinner, knows my name and
address and is currently single. I was getting dressed and
couldn't decide on whether to go in casual or formal wear
so I ended up with casual with a sense of sexiness to impress
Hyde.
I
arrived at Hyde's front door at 10pm, and he greeted me
like a gentleman. He took me into his house and I noticed
that he is pretty god damn rich. He had a big condo and
was decorated with expensive materials and products and
it strook me that he was no ordinary writer.
We
finally had dinner and he's certainly a good cook, which
I think is very sexy for a guy to know how to cook. Dinner
was very comfortable, he was very laid back and kind.
'There's
something I wanna show you' he said, "but you must not tell
anyone" he continued.
"Ok."
I said feeling quite nervous and excited to find out what
it is. He took my hand and walked me to the sofa and sat
me down. His hands were soft and I had shivers all over
me when he touched me. He walked out of a room for a second
and returned with a guitar. He sat down opposite me, looked
straight at me, then looked down at his guitar and started
playing a soft slow tune. It was a very beautiful song,
with beautiful lyrics, but it wasn't as beautiful as his
beautiful voice that came from his beautiful face.
"I
wrote this for Megumi. It's called Anemone. So what do you
think of it?"
I
was disappointed to hear that the song was for Megumi because
I really felt like the song was for me because he looked
at me so deeply and seriously, like trying to say that the
song is for me. I felt so ashamed of myself to think that
way. Why would someone like Hyde like me?
"It's
beautiful. I love it." I said softly.
"Phew,
that's great. I'm happy you like it."
"Hyde"
I said, "What sort of writer are you anyway? I mean, you
work pass working hours, you look richer than most writers,
and you sing and play the guitar so well." I explained my
curiosity.
He
looked desperate and said, "I write all sort of stuff nothing
specific. I can sing cos…umm well, I use to sing in a pub"
"Do
you wanna watch a VDO?" Hyde said quickly, " I bought some
VDOs but never had a chance to watch them."
"What
do you have?"
"umm
Sliding Doors"
"I
love that movie. Ok I'll watch with you" I said. In actual
fact what ever the movie was going to be, whether it was
Star Trek or anything lame like that I'd still have said
yes, I didn't want to leave yet.
He
put on the movie and we both sat on the sofa next to each
other in the dark. My heart was beating faster than ever
before. I wanted something to happen but didn't dare to
make the first move, and knew that Hyde would definitely
not make the first move. But I was wrong. The movie was
half an hour to the end when Hyde turned his head and looked
at me, I pretended not to notice.
"Kanako"
he whispered softly in my ears, "Anemone is for you. I wrote
it in two weeks. I couldn't stop thinking of you after that
night. I'm so happy to see you tonight I didn't I'd have
the chance to play it to you".
I was surprised; I didn't know liked me too. I didn't know
what to say or what to do; I have never felt a rush of adrenalin
like this before. I looked at him, and he looked into my
eyes. We didn't have to say anything and we knew how we
felt about each other. Hyde leaned over and kissed me softly.
His lips were so soft warm and moist and I felt like I melted
into his kiss, my heart was pumping so hard I had difficulty
breathing properly.
"Touch
my chest" he said.
I
touched his chest and I felt that his heart was beating
even harder and faster than mine.
"Touch
mine" I said.
He
touched my chest and smiled with relief that I felt the
same way and kissed me again.
"How old are you Hyde?" I asked
"Thirty" he replied.
"HA!
No way! You are lying! C'mon I've only been your girlfriend
for less than 10 minutes and already you're lying to me."
"I'm not lying! I'm really 30. People mistake for being
in my twenties a lot. That's what you thought right?"
"Yea…I
thought you were 24 or even less. I'm 20 you know. I turned
20 three months ago. So you are not lying?"
"No
of course not" he said shyly.
"Good,
because I really can't stand liars. I really hate lies."
We
both couldn't concentrate on the rest of the movie and fell
asleep on his sofa until the next morning.
-------------------------------------------
The
next morning we got up late so we were both in a hurry.
Just when I was leaving Hyde's condo he pulled me back and
kissed me gently and said, "See you tonight beautiful".
That gave me energy for the rest of the day. I couldn't
wait to go back home and see Hyde. I couldn't concentrate
in class and was dying to see him and hear his voice. After
class I went straight up to Hyde's condo hoping that he
would be there, but he wasn't. He was not back from work
yet. I went back disappointed to my condo and saw that there
was a large bunch of Anemone flowers outside my door with
a note attached to it, it read: "I miss you. I'll be
back home late tonight. Don't wait for me. You're my Anemone.Love,
Hyde"
I
was so happy to receive the flowers. Hyde turned out to
be the most considerate boyfriend I ever had. He knew exactly
what I wanted when I wanted it. He knew how to take care
of girls, and always said the right things, and was very
mature and funny at appropriate times. He said that he understands
woman because he has lived with one for 3 years and that
was when he learned about women.
I
woke up the next morning after not having seen Hyde for
over 18 hours, I felt like my chest was exploding. The bell
door rung at my front door and was surprised to see hyde
to be the one ringing. He was dressed in long leather pants
and a white tank top and a jeans jacket. His hair was down
and hung messily around his face.
"Ohaiyo"
he said kindly.
"Ohaiyo"
I replied brimming with happiness.
He
stepped inside, shut the door and pulled me into his embrace
and hugged me real tight.
"I
missed you so much, I can't wait to see you tonight so I
decided to come here now" he said still holding on to me.
"I
missed you too and thank you for the flowers."
I
felt his warm breathing by my ear and it sent me shivers
everywhere. He moved his head back and looked into my eyes.
His eyes made me melt again. He leaned over and kissed me,
his tung so soft and moist slithered slowly like a snake
against mine.
"Are
you working again today?" I asked sadly.
"Yes…I'm
sorry. I want to be here with you too. I promise that today
I'll come back as early as I could to see you."
