Scales (Ninja X Seijuro | OA)

Writing about the first couple I ever shipped.

It's been 11 years since 2008. When I think about that span of time, it hurts more than any glass shard.

At last, I don't have to write a beautiful heroine who's insecure and makes a mess of everything anymore!!!

Whenever I think of them, memories shimmer and burst forth like scales. They're scales shed from my youth, still carrying the flesh and blood of growing up.

I'll write whatever comes to mind, so I named it Scales.

Written for the two boys who ran through my entire adolescence.

Written for the fifteen-year-old who can never return.

Written for those wasted years, for the long student days that seemed as if they would never end.

So, let me begin with the summer I met you twelve years ago.

Thank you for reading.
