Talking to the moon..

Synopsis: You talk to the moon (Seungmin)
I sit on the rocks, gazing up at the moon, surrounded by the shining stars. I can hear the wind swaying through the leaves, the water dripping from the green leaves, drip drip. A tear drops down my face as I look upon the night sky. I take a deep breath, swallow the lump in my throat and start speaking, voice a bit shaky.
“Hi Minnie, how are you today? Remember when you said I need to stop viewing myself as something I’m clearly not?”
He looks at me as I glance at the mirror, frowning when I catch sight of myself, he frowns as he realizes this, comes closer to me, wrapping his arms around me, resting his head on my shoulder “I know what you’re thinking right now, I’ve been with you for too long, should I chase those bad, naughty, very very bad bad bad thoughts away?” He laughs a little “ You look so beautiful, the most I’ve seen ever, I can’t believe you doubt that jagi, Stop seeing all this-” He waves his hands around my body. I giggle at his shenanigans. “-as something that it clearly isn’t, you’re pretty, cute, handsome, beautiful, gorgeous,” He stops in thought “scrumptious” He wriggles his eyebrows, making me smile more “See that! Sooo pretty!” He pinches my cheeks, “So no frowning when you see yourself, smile and say just one compliment to yourself yeah? You can just say, you’re pretty. It’ll be hard at first but I’ll be there, making you feel better, making sure you never forget you’re breathtaking” He reaches his pinky out to me, as a pinky promise, I laugh and take it, he kisses my knuckles after, bowing dramatically. He winked at me, then took me away to his room…..
I laugh a little at the memory “Well, I’m saying those compliments every night, when I’m in front of the mirror, even if it’s hard I find one thing about myself I like, compliment it. I’m getting better, for you. I am cooking and baking more! I made some cupcakes. Remember when we tried to bake a cake together?”
I bring out a bowl and read the ingredients we need from my phone, he goes to get them, the eggs, flour, sugar, butter, salt, etc. I preheat the oven “Ok! So we need to add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and espresso powder..?” He gets out the flour “How much?” “Uh 1 and ¾ cups” He looks at the measuring cup and adds the flour in (not so) carefully, spilling most of it outside of the cup, all over his face, the table, my clothes “Minnn!” I roll my eyes, wiping the flour off of him “It’s not my fault, the flour just did that on its own!” He grumbles, pointing at the flour, frown on his face. I laugh “You’re blaming the flour now? And It’s only the first step! There’s already a mess” I sigh, shaking my head. He smiles at me “It’s a gift” I roll my eyes again at his winking “Seriously, how do you manage to do that?” I flick some flour to him, he gasps, flicking flour back at me “You little-” ….
A smile creeps on my face “The kitchen was a mess, if someone walked in they would think a wild animal came and wrecked the place haha, but we still managed to get a cake…After a while” I play with a pretty rock I found next to the lake “I visited your parents the other day, I gave them some of the cupcakes I made, they were happy to see me, like you say they like me more than they like you, “favouritism” you say” I laugh “I had a nice meal with them and went to our home, it’s empty without you though..” My smile falters “It isn’t the same without you, there isn’t that familiar comfort, the warmth in the bed, the cleanness, there isn’t someone I can cling on to, talk to, you aren’t there to make my day better just by being there… It’s getting lonely, everywhere I go I see you, I see you in the cute dog plushies in the shop, I see you in the park we went to, I see you in the pouring rain… When we were running with our coats on our heads, trying not to get too wet, laughing and giggling, you dragged me to a nearby convenience store to warm up, holding my hand the entire time, we drank some hot chocolate, we talked and laughed and laughed… It’s one of my favourite memories with you” I smile sadly
We were walking hand in hand, the sky was really cloudy and it was getting dark. It started to rain softly, I look up trying to catch some, he notices me and laughs “Are you seriously trying to catch them? They aren’t snowflakes dummy” I look at him, a big smile on my face “Anything is possible! And I am a mermaid so I can do anything” I stick my tongue out, he laughs more “How’d I get a gem like you? My dummy” “Hey I’m not a dummy!” “Sure, sure whatever you say” He says, a soft smile on his face, I could practically see the sparkles in his eyes “Whatcha thinking?” I ask, tilting my head “Just how cute you are..” The rain gets heavier, at first the two of us don’t mind until we get so wet, rain pouring and pouring. He takes his coat off and covers the both of us with it, taking my hand and starting to run. I laugh, running along with him. He looks back at me, smiling widely “Well isn’t this fun?” We were drenched, breathless, running to get away from the pouring rain. “Very” We laugh more, he finds a convenience store and drags us into it, panting. He takes me to a seat and makes me stay there as he gets something for us to warm up, he comes back with hot chocolate in each hand, handing one to me “Drink up, love” We drink, talk, laugh, and laugh until the rain gets lighter, until we’ve warmed up. Then we head back home….
“I wish you were here, I added some new decorations to ours! I got some pochacco plushies, I wear your old hoodies, your scent is wearing off though.. But they remind me of you, it’s like you’re actually here you know? I sometimes wonder if it was me.. Was it me? If it wasn’t for me maybe you would still be here… happy, with all your friends, with your parents. I shouldn’t think like this haha… I would do anything for just another moment with you.. I wish I could do something, anything… I miss you so much.” I sniffle, more tears collecting, some falling down my face, I wipe my tears, looking at the moon once more
“The first month or two, I saw the world as black and grey, the colour was sucked out haha, I couldn’t even make myself something to eat, life was pointless, I didn’t see vivid colours, I didn’t smile that smile you loved so much… I couldn’t even talk for the first week… I hated everything,”
“But now, the colour is coming back, I see the pastel colours, the soft colour of the sky, I’m making meals, baking brownies, Felix gave me a lesson, I smile more, I’m laughing too… It’s still so hard, I still miss you more than ever, I still wish you were here, I still wish it were me instead..”
“My love, Min, I miss you..” I look up at the stars, reaching my hand out, tears falling down my face, not stopping anytime soon. I get up, seeing as it was so late now, I say one last thing before going back to our place.
“I love you.”
