that time
Twelve & eleven years.
Sana smiled as she looked around. Her parents weren't home, so she hold her best friend's hand. "Don't worry Mittang" she calmly said to the shorter one. I mean, the shorter in height and age, of course. She shyly looked at her best friend and nodded.
"W-where are we going, Sattang?"
Sana stopped for a bit with a grin "you'll see, follow my lead. I swear it's nothing like the other day! It's not dangerous." she whispers and again walked. The stairs were made of wood, white in color. The design is simple: photos of her parents while young, when she was a little baby and all, the whole home screams vintage in every corner too. Sana's still a little Alpha without knowing the rules, Mina's still without a "name"(I mean, hierarchy), but it doesn't matter, Sana's not always saying that she's an Alpha.
"But I'm scared" the eleven years old girl said as she squeeze the taller's hand. "Don't worry Mittang, I won't let you down! I really mean t! Lean on me every time you need it!" Mina blushed as she nodded happily.
"If you trust me, close your eyes" she added, looking at her with a pair of soft and loving eyes.
Mina didn't hesitate to did it. Sana smiled even more. She held the girl while getting up to the second floor of the house. She stopped as she whispers to Mina to stay with eyes closed.
She places her index finger on the ring and forcefully pulls it down, trying to keep it quiet so as not to worry Mina. Settle down well and take the soft hand in her again.
"I'll be leading you. Listen carefully Mittang" the eleven year old girl grits her teeth and nods. "Lift your knee," she whispers as her hand trembles under hers.
"B-but Sattang, what if I fall?" Sana gave a soft laugh "you won't, but if you want I remind you: I'll be holding you. Now, the other knee, raise it."
Sana guided her carefully as the wariness of her five digits made Mina sigh from time to time. Sana smiled at her progress and patted the scalp on the back of her neck, "Okay, raise your knee again and move forward... three steps, then stop and wait for me."
Mina remembered everything and squeezing the warm hand, she advanced. Sana was one step ahead of her, thanks to her long arm, there was no problem in continuing to hold her hand.
"K! You did it! Now, don't be afraid and let go of my hand" Mina hesitated, but she could hear Sana's smiley voice, so she lets go and contracts herself while waiting for the Alpha body. Sana ran quickly, arranged everything and opens the small door that lets go up to the roof, where they were in and sighed.
Mina heard footsteps everywhere and then a hand in her, she moaned softly at the sudden movement.
Sana kissed her cheek and Mina couldn't stopped herself, she opened her eyes. The Alpha's one were bright, shiny light brown and the silly smile. She looked around open-mouthed. Sana blush and let her look.
Sana didn't never told her that she spent like a week decorating the ceiling and the roof. She payed everything and do it for her own. Sana wanted to tell Mina the most thoughtful thing she has since she is nine.
"Wow" she said and also blushed, how much she knows the way Sana feels around midnight, the girl will be quiet and enjoy every single second in the fresh air. And obviously, Mina would love to be the only (or at least the first) to see Sana's quiet side and also her side perfile.
"I'd like to bring someone that I'll like in the cliff of the river or just here. Hand her flowers and some teddies. Then, I'll get in front of her and..."
They make eye contact. They have the different height and it only makes the scene even more softer than it was. Then, slowly, Mina opened her mouth "what you'll say?" she asked.
Sana smiled, as if she was waiting for that question. "I'll tell her, there's a missing color in the rainbow," Mina frowned, thinking "Which one?" she unconscious asked. Sana carresed her cheek while saying: "the color of I love you and I like you."
...
Mina reminds that time while she froze in her spot, and looking for Sana's glance, she blinked. Acting blind. Sana let her hand go and get in her knees.
"Sa-" the sobs she heard made her realize. Sana was all broken, she hated herself for not waiting more.
"I'm s-sorry, I just" Sana tried to explain, but her tearing up voice made all a chaos to her "It's t-the color I wanna g-give you a-and" her crying voice makes Mina stay still. Sana's the kind of hyperactive child that always wanna show the bright side and not the weak one. Now, finally Mina is seeing her tears.
"I'm really sorry. I'll let you home then."
Sana has no hopes, and didn't move of her spot. Mina didn't help her to stand up. They're so hopeless and numb.
"What d-do you mean?- goddammit, you like me?" she nervously said. Sana cry even more while nodding. Mina opened her mouth to say something, but Sana interrupted her: I'm just- I'm so sorry. Let's get back, go ahead- if you want the gifts" Myoui doesn't really acts and it makes Minatozaki even more anxious.
"Since when?"
"Mina, please stop."
"But-"
"Take all the goddamn gifts." Sana's voice is breaking.
"..." Mina glance at her, not knowing what to do.
But she didn't answer the declaration of love. Then, what's she's feeling? Why's her heart arching? And why's her all body tearing up?
