Intro
Shion and Kanato were childhood friends. They were always together. Playing tag, playing games, on the way home. Shion was a girl who was like a boy.
Short hair. An active personality. She wouldn't even lose a fight to a boy.
People around them kept laughing and calling them "best friends" or "siblings." But Shion always believed.
(Someday, when we grow up, he'll see me as a girl.)
Spring of their junior year. When she summoned all her courage to confess, Kanato gave an embarrassed smile and nodded.
Shion felt that day was the happiest of her life. She thought they would slowly, bit by bit, become lovers.
That's what she thought. But nothing changed.
He puts his arm around her shoulders, smacks her head, calls her "hey you," and there is never once a romantic atmosphere.
Even so, Shion didn't rush.
Because she knew she was boyish.
She just had to change little by little.
Growing her hair out.
Buying cute clothes.
Learning how to do makeup.
Surely, someday.
She kept believing that.
---Four months into dating. In a room with just the two of them. With a trembling voice, Shion said:
"...Just for today, um... I want to try doing something like a couple."
Kanato froze. Then, he gave a troubled smile.
"Nah... I can't."
With just those words, Shion's heart went cold. Still, she wanted to know the reason. Kanato laughed without a hint of malice.
"I mean, you just don't feel like a girl to me."
He continued while laughing.
"I only dated you because we're childhood friends and I didn't have a reason to say no."
"Honestly, I've never seen you as a woman, not even once."
It was at that moment. The reason she grew her hair out. The nights she practiced smiling in front of the mirror.
The time she tried on a dress that didn't suit her and felt a little happy when the clerk said, "It looks cute on you."
All of it, all of it.
She had been dreaming all by herself. Kanato had never once looked at her. They weren't even lovers.
Shion didn't cry.
She felt that if she cried, everything would truly be over. So she smiled. With her usual Shion smile.
"...I see."
Leaving only those words, she went home. By the time she reached her house, she couldn't even shed a tear. Instead, something deep inside her chest had died.
The next day.
She skipped school. And the day after that.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Short hair. Sun-kissed skin. A boyish way of laughing. She came to hate all of it.
"...I have to change."
The me from back then is finished. Having decided that, she left the house alone, with no destination in mind.
