I wrote this fic at the beginning of this year.. it's
actually already up at my site^^ anyway, it's not much
about SenRu relationship but instead friendship.. hope
you don't mind.. it's just something nice to read..lol..
happy reading.
How do you consider that someone is a friend or not??
Ever wonder how many friends you have?? What does our two
SD characters thinks of the word ¡§friends¡¨??
Here two POV for two different guys¡K.it¡¦s separated
by the line in the middle. Enough said^^ happy reading.
I was scold again today. My parents came back to
Japan yesterday night. Just exactly like what I presumed,
they wanted me to follow them back to America and as
always like the past few years, I refused. And like
always, I got some serious lecturing from both of them.
My dad said that I¡¦m ¡§useless¡¨.
I admit I can be a total smart ass in one thing like
basketball I guess and totally ¡§useless¡¨ in another
thing. In this case, my social life but then no one is
perfect is there?? I once saw a show and they say, ¡§he
maybe a genius in one thing but he¡¦ll be a total jerk in
other aspects. God is fair!¡¨
But then again, the fact is I like it just the way it
is, maybe yes it¡¦s true that my scope of friends is very
small, too small for others maybe, but I still don¡¦t
consider myself a total loner. I¡¦m happy enough to have
a small number of people I called friends, even if it¡¦s
as small as one.
For me, my own definition of friends can be totally
different thing then what others think. Some people
consider anyone and everyone that they¡¦ve met, talk to
as a friend. Someone you meet today in school and both of
you smiled at each other. Is that your friend? Wow!! I
guess then the whole school is my friend then??!! There
is only one word for that, ¡§SCARY!¡¨
I met someone today while waiting for my turn to take
my driving test. We talked.. I guess you could say a lot
since I rarely talked to anyone and after the long talk,
he said, ¡§ well, since I guess we get to meet each other
we can call ourselves friends,¡¨
I gave him a small polite smile, well you talked to a
total stranger for about half and hour and you are
friends???
I won¡¦t even see him again after this!! What happen
to the terms that someone who really knows you,
understands you?? Be there when you¡¦re happy to share
your joy?? And most important of all, be there when your
down and lend you a helping hand?? What are they??
Parents??
Not really the exact answer, since not all parents
understand their kids well enough even if they think they
do, and do they do what was listed above? I guess you can
call these people ¡§endangered species¡¨ if you ever find
one, cherish it, it¡¦s something very special.
I¡¦m very happy and content that I have one, yes ONE!
Only one u may ask??!! What I considered a real true
friend.. yes! He is the only one. What about female
friends then?? Well, the funny thing is there¡¦s a whole
different definition of ¡§friends¡¨ for the opposite sex.
Female ¡§friends¡¨?? as long as I can have a nice on-
going conversation with a girl and the fact that we¡¦ve
known each other for a long time (note: not in half and
hour) then I guess they are my friends. Don¡¦t really
understand?? Simple:
Ayako is a female friend of mine, Haruko is umm..
Akagi¡¦s sister, Yumiko is my class monitor and all the
girls in my class are just happen to be attending the
same class as me, and for the rest of them they are
merely Shohoku¡¦s students, get it??
So in the end, you can come to the conclusion that is
not that I don¡¦t have many friends like you people or
I¡¦m anti-social, it¡¦s just that your definition of ¡§
friends¡¨ and mine are different.
I¡¦m happy and content with my one friend, if I¡¦m
going to go through the rest of my live with just one
friend, so be it, as long as it¡¦s him. ^^
---------------------------------------------------------
Someone said to me, ¡§ hey, how I wish to be like you
. You have so many friends!!¡¨
What did I do then? Well, what I always do, I smiled.
A mere smile that didn¡¦t mean anything, people always
think that I¡¦m a very friendly person because I always
smile. But the truth is I smile because I have no idea
what else is there to do, you could say it¡¦s a way for
me to escape away from things.
When I was seven years old, I accidentally knocked
over someone who was older than be, a bigger boy. I was
scared and I didn¡¦t know what to do, I couldn¡¦t even
utter a simple word, ¡§ sorry¡¨ and so I smiled. I didn't
know why but I just smile. Surprisingly, I got away with
it, the bigger boy just said, ¡§ Wipe that stupid grin of
your face,¡¨ and he walked away.
When I was ten, a teacher called me up and asked me a
question, I didn¡¦t know what was the answer and I don¡¦t
know what else to do, and once again that smile appeared
on my face. I got away with it again, ¡§Sendoh, you¡¦re
such a cute little boy but you must remember to study
harder, okay? Now sit down,¡¨
From then on, I just keep on smiling. And now someone
says that I have a lots of friends and wants to be like
me. I never thought of the word ¡§friends¡¨ seriously
before. Did I really have a lot of friends?? If so, then
why I never noticed about it?? maybe¡K maybe because I
never thought of them as friends??
What is a friend?? If I¡¦ve met someone in school
today and smiled at each other, is that friends?? Or
having a short conversation with some student in school,
is that a friend, too?? Wow!! Won¡¦t that make everyone
in school my friends??!! There is one word I can think of
, ¡§SCARY!!¡¨
I thought friends were someone who really knows you,
understands you?? Be there when you¡¦re happy to share
your joy?? And most important of all, be there when your
down and lend you a helping hand?? What are they??
Parents??
I don¡¦t really know if that is the correct answer
since I¡¦ve lost my parents when I was eleven. I don¡¦t
really understand the term ¡§parents¡¨, when I was just a
little boy, I just think them as mom and dad, two people
who is there to protect this little boy and to give me
presents when it¡¦s my birthday, cloths and food. But
it's that all?? I know it should be more than that but I
guess I won¡¦t giving more time to understand it since I
was only eleven.
So in the end, you can come to the conclusion that is
not that I don¡¦t noticed those people who are suppose
to be my ¡§friends¡¨, it¡¦s just that I don¡¦t really
understand the term friends in the first place.
But I do have that someone I could relate to, somehow
he seems to understands me, funny right? And somehow I
care very much about him and what he thinks of me..and
many more unexplainable feelings and thoughts. Maybe ¡§
friends¡¨ has no exact definition after all, maybe it's
un-explainable. If it is so, then I guess he is my friend
maybe..maybe much more than that,too.^^
