Birthdays Aren't Fun [ Closed/Only Klide ]

[Youka]

Youka plopped herself down with her small legs hanging off of a dock. The dock was one of the docks she had found on the Avon River. This one was a few meters away from the Avon Waterfall. Youka wanted to be in nature for her birthday, August 19th, because being in nature all alone made her feel calm. She especially enjoyed the silence of anything except the sound of the waterfall that she could see from the dock. The river was a beautiful blue color and it made her smile. As Youka enjoyed the sereneness of the land she thought back onto what had happened on her birthday during her high school years. It was the main reason she hated being near people, even more than usual, on her birthday. It was probably also the biggest reason about why she had a serious distrust of people. More than anything it was because of him, her old boyfriend, hell he was her only one. His name, though she hated to even think it, was Charles. Youka didn't remember his last name because it wasn't worth remembering.

Nothing about Charles was worth remembering but considering the fact that he was the reason Youka got hurt so much and felt betrayed in the first place was all because of him. The story being that Youka had decided to surprise Charles on her birthday so she could be with him. She had gotten a day off from her job. Her first off day in months. As Youka had been walking to Charles' room after his mom let her in Youka had opened the door to find that Charles and a girl she didn't even know were making out and doing things. At the time Youka had screamed we're over with tears rolling down her face and ran out the door.

Youka shook her head fervently not wanting to remember what had happened back then. Nonetheless her mind betrayed her again and she kept remembering. What had hurt Youka the most wasn't the fact that Charles had done things with another girl, which did hurt a lot, but the fact that he didn't call out to her or try to stop her from leaving him. He hadn't even called to apologize or anything along those lines. That in anything showed Youka that Charles probably hadn't loved her by the time it rolled around. Maybe he never loved her or maybe he had stopped loving her slowly after she suddenly had to work a lot which took up most of her time which in turn made it so that she rarely had time for Charles. She would probably never know about Charles' feelings.


While Youka was remembering things she didn't want to remember tears had started to fall down her face like tsunami waves. It really still hurt about Charles had done all those years. Still being hurt because of Charles made Youka hate herself. She would never admit it to herself of course but she had a deep seated hate for herself and was in fact was also extremely insecure. Neither of which Youka knew about on a conscious level, only on a subconscious one which was probably why she hadn't completely broken down yet. However, on a conscious level Youka did know that she hated people and believed them all to be like Charles and only betrayed each other in the end. That was why Youka warped her personality in a subconscious way into the angry violent little thing she was today. She did know that she used the anger and distrust at people and the world to protect her feelings and extremely delicate heart.

Youka lay back on the dock as she cried silently. This was why she hated her birthday so much. It always caused her some sadness because of the way she had been used and found out about it. It was humiliating and not fun whatsoever to cry.

After some time, maybe about fifteen minutes, she stopped crying. The tears and feelings had taken a toll on Youka and before she knew she had closed her eyes and fallen fast asleep to the sound of the waterfall and the forest that surrounded the waterfall and river.

Klide had spent most of the morning resting. The night before, he had stayed up rather late in monster hunts, and this was his time to make up for lost sleep. He woke to the gurgle of the river near by, and to a chorus of birds in the trees around him. Several meters away, a family of boars dug for something to eat. Klide stood and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He went down to the river bank and splashed the cool water over his face. He then turned and walked parallel to the river as it flowed down beside him. After a few minutes of such walking, he found himself looking at the figure of a girl sitting alone on a small dock. She was lying on the dock and appeared to be sleeping. Klide walked up to her slowly, careful to avoid making any noise. He was now within a few feet of her and noticed something he had not been expecting. He recognized this girl. A few feet in front of him, Youka was sleeping on the a dock on the avon river. Her face was wet, and it did not seem to be from the river. Had she been crying? Youka did not seem like the type to cry. Klide crouched down and tapped the girl on the shoulder very gently.  He spoke quietly and calmly, but hoped that she would wake up to the sound of his voice. "Youka. Hey, are you ok? Youka, it is a bit hypocritical of me to say, but there are better places to sleep then on the ground." He stayed crouching as he waited for some sort of response.

Youka smiled as she dreamt it was a good dream in all honesty. It was one of the better ones that she had had in a while. It wasn't really that memorable though. A filler dream perhaps, like one of those filler episodes that were often put into animes like Naruto or One Piece or at least the big and long running ones. The ones with hundreds of episodes. It was like the artists just didn't know when to stop. Although she wouldn't know because all she had done before she was trapped in the game was work as an editor for books. She worked from home in a tiny apartment so it usually worked well for her.



Youka was woken up from her dream/random thoughts when someone shook her shook her shoulder gently and said things to her. The words said seemed to be worrisome ones with a bit of a joke added to them. Her eyes shot open and she sat up quickly before looking at the person in question.



To Youka's surprise the person in question, a man, looked familiar to her. Also he knew her name. Why? The man seemed to be lightly tanned and had dark shaggy brown hair. He had broad shoulders too. Who was he? Why did he seem so familiar?



" Don't touch me" Youka snapped before adding," Who are you? Why do you know my name?" She shot a glare at the man. What was his name? Childe? Hilde? Guilde? Klide? Wait that last one sounded familiar and possibly familiar. " Klide..?" she muddered questioningly. " Wait yes that's your name. Why did you touch me?"

Klide received a burst of anger mixed with surprise when Youka woke up. He backed up about a foot to give her some space just in case she felt uncomfortable with him being so close. "You have not changed one bit since last time Youka. I am sorry for waking you, but I was concerned when I saw someone lying on the pier from a distance. I though maybe someone had been knocked unconscious or something so I came to check it out, and here you are. I do not see any injuries, but perhaps you are hurt? Your cheeks were wet and so I was worried." Klide signed and sat on the pier, a little ways away from the small, wolf hair girl. "You are correct. My name is Klide. We have met before, which is how I know your name, though if you would prefer it, I could call you 'Miss Youka' to be more formal.We met in town a few weeks back when i got in your way on accident as you charged down the street. You fell onto your bum and when I offered to help you you called me fake. You then said you hate me and my friend, at which point we offered to help you train in combat against some slimes. Is any of this bringing back memories? Any blurry images of the past?" Klide adjusted his position a little before lying down on his back, with his arms crossed behind his head. He waited for Youka to say anything. The sounds around him were quite peaceful, and he could now see why Youka might choose this place for her nap. he let his eyes close and listened to to song of the various birds around him, the swaying of the leaves and branches in the cool breeze, the trickle of the water beneath the dock. It was all quite calming. He would gladly listen to anything she said in this peace.

As Klide spoke Youka started to vaguely remembered how she and Klide had met several days earlier. Or was it months? Honestly Youka had no idea. all she knew was that she had met Klide in the past at some point in the game. " I may or may not have some recollection of what you're speaking of. Personally it doesn't really matter, Clearly we know each other." Youka stopped speaking but only to adjust herself to a more comfortable position on the dock.

Youka let the silence pass by for a few minutes as she adjusted her small body to a sitting position on the dock. Her legs were now hanging off the dock and Youka looked out towards the waterfall in the distance before she started speaking again. " Whether I got hurt or not before I fell asleep is none of your damn business Klide," she paused before starting to speak again," but if you must know my face is probably still wet from when I was swimming earlier and I promptly fell asleep after I got on the dock. If anything my face still being wet probably means that I wasn't asleep very long." With that Youka let a big yawn to put emphasis on the fact that she hadn't been asleep very long and was extremely tired.

As she yawned Youka turned her head to take a look at Klide and his shaggy hair. " You should probably do something about your hair. Frankly I hate it and your hair pisses me off. It shows that you're more than likely a slob if you can't even take care of your god damn hair. " With that Youka decided she'd let her long flowing white hair down because her twintails were too tight and it was starting to annoy her. Though she couldn't feel pain in the game she knew that her head and hair would probably be hurting if she was in real life and not the game. Youka took her hands and used them to pull the black ribbons out of her hair and thus let it down extremely quickly considering that she took both ribbons out at the same time. All of this was done in silence aside from the sound of the water and her hair being let down.

Youka placed the ribbons in her inventory before shaking her hair out. Her hair flowed in the wind slightly as she shook it out. Youka turned to look at Klide, who happened to be laying down on the dock. She considering laying back down but Youka figured if she did then she would probably fall back asleep. Instead she opted to start swinging her legs back and forth from the dock since they were hanging from it anyways.
