Your eyes were closed as you sat in the middle of the field, silently feeling the gentle breeze that brought with it the fragrant smell of blooming flowers.
You certainly loved spring and the colors and happiness it brought with itself, if only you had some of it. You wanted to be happy, really, but it just didn't seem possible. You had never thought that your life would be reduced to this, falling head over heels for the 'unlovable' Gauche Adlai...
You didn't really know how it happened though and if you were to tell it to someone, they would certainly think of you as someone mad which was entirely wrong by the way. Yes, everybody thought of him as some emotionless freak when he was one of the most emotional people you had ever seen.
You truly did not know why it happened, maybe it was because of that rare yet wonderful smile of his or rather his love and affection for his sister, or... It was just him, just Gauche, and himself. But alas, your affections were in vain as you knew better than to expect him to love someone. Your love for him was just like in those poems that you read, secret and unrequited.
You took a deep breath before focusing on the task at hand which was watching over the orphanage kids as they played, they seemed to be enjoying themselves and nothing looked cautious. You idly plucked a flower and began to twirl it in your hand, picking on its petals as you muttered to yourself, he loves me, he loves me not only for it to end on the latter.
"See y/n, even the flower thinks that you are hopeless and miserable." You groaned.
"And why are you hopeless and miserable?" A voice cut in startling you.
You turned around, a hand on your rapidly beating heart, only to find standing there, the person who has occupied your thoughts. Gauche. As if your heartbeat wasn't fast enough, it got even faster as you felt heat rush up to your cheeks.
"And since when do you care? " You playfully asked back, you didn't know how you got the confidence but thankfully your voice did not waver.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked, taking a seat down next to you. "I do care about you..." he said. Your eyes widened as you interpreted what he just said, there's no way he said that. At least you knew that is not what he meant by it. "Always have..." he added in the end but not loud enough for you to hear it.
You turned towards him and found him already looking at you making you falter in your move. You couldn't comprehend the emotion on his face, it wasn't a frequent one like his annoyance or care for Marie, it was different. New.
"You care for my Marie and I appreciate that." He said, his tone softer than usual and you nodded in acknowledgment. See, it wasn't that after all...
You turned your head away, trying not to give away the obvious infatuation that you had with him and the disappointment from his words, and focused on his sister who was happily approaching you and her brother.
"Big brother you are here!" She said with a smile, hugging him as she did. He had his smile on his face, the one that was only for his sister, the one that you admired.
"Look what I made for you! Miss y/n said that you will love it." She said, showing him a daisy crown she had made, his eyes filling with love at the gesture before they flicked towards yours so fast that you thought it was a trick of the light.
"She was right, I do love it." He commented, oblivious of the effect it had on you. You seriously did not know how you were breathing till now but it certainly felt good.
You smiled as you watched her tell him about her week and how intently he listened to it. You watched as he smiled and as his voice was full of love when he spoke to her. It may seem weird to anyone how can someone like Gauche Adlai but for you, it was as clear as a day... Because you liked Gauche Adlai simply for being Gauche Adlai.
