sunrises | [TMM - K] Moving On

I love RoyxSarah as much as the next person, but my characters have a mind of their own. I'm not going to plan out a couple if it's obvious that Royster's given up on her, no?

Title: Moving On
Fandom: TMM - Kokoro
Summary: Roy talks about his feelings for Sarah, and how he realized something while on a blind date with Retasu.

Life just wasn't fair.

I had known that from a very early age, when my best friends left New York City to move to places unknown. I knew why my friend Ryou had to leave, but... why did she have to go?

It had dawned on me during that day. Sarah really didn't like me; she had feelings for Ryler instead. Not knowing how to take it, I took my anger out on the people dearest to me - my own parents. They seemed to think nothing of my outbursts. I apologized to no end earler, after telling them that I was sorry, but...

She still wouldn't leave my thoughts. Even when I was moving on, trying to date other people - she would still be in my head, and I would have to cut dates off because of that.

So, there I was - Roy Bancroft, seventeen years old. And I still didn't have a steady girlfriend. It was kind of pathetic, since I was a junior and all, but there really was nothing I could do about it.

I did try to have a blind date with Retasu, but it only ended in failure. Maybe it was because everyone seemed to be a little disgusted at the fact that I was dating a friend's friend (or as Retasu had put it, a friend's ex-friend), but they didn't seem to approve. We stopped dating for that sole reason.

Retasu may have been slowly moving on (and I mean slowly. It was at a snail's pace, I swear), but I think that my date with her helped us to realize that we needed to live our own lives, and to not let people control it.

I don't need to wait for Sarah anymore. If she's willing to date me, then that's fine. But for now?

I'm my own person, and I've got a good life to live. At least, until I meet the demon poodle again....
