author's note: well, i think i don't write much english oneshot fic here yet, so i decided to write one. in this fic, i'll write about my favorite pairing, kotadore, so if you don't support this pairing, i think it's time for you to 'go out' from this fic and don't you even try to leave a radical review just because you don't support the pairing (honestly, i read so much akadore fic and never leave any critical – and radical – review, although i found that some of them contains kotake's bashing, so i hope you can do the same to my fic).

anyway, here's the fic.

summary: just some days after doremi thought that kotake had already refused her love and made her cut her hair, someone came to her life and intentionally

oke her heart to pieces. it was when she became desperate and nearly ended her life, someone else came and tried to comfort her, made her realized that her guess was wrong… no bashing chara here! if you want to bash someone, go bash your own oc!

just throw away that scissors and listen to me

"hah…"

a dark blue haired boy just could sit down on his seat in his classroom at misora middle school and sigh, after he saw something changed with his crush. a girl whom he loved since a long time…

he was really sure that he still loved her right now, and more than it, now he knew that she felt the same towards him. at least, that was what he read from her love letter that she gave to him at the beach several days ago – or should he say it was several months ago? time went so fast for him now – and also, it was what he believed since that time, until…

until the change happened and made him realized that he had already wasted so many times. it was too late for him to answer her feelings, because that feelings was already gone from her heart and made her didn't wait his answer anymore. she had already believed that he rejected her and that was the reason why she did the change to her daily performance. the change that also made the boy named kotake tetsuya couldn't stop releasing some deep sighs today. she cut her ruby red long hair.

'i'm really such a fool…' kotake thought, 'i've already do something that i never want to do with her, just because of my own promise to all of my friends. i've already ignore doremi's limited patient to wait for my answer, just because of my business to follow those soccer exercises…'

he sighed again, 'how can i do such a stupid things? if only i was smart enough to find a good time for me to answer her letter, she wouldn't ever think that i reject her love. actually, i will give her the opposite answer. i'll ask her to be my girlfriend.'

'but now, it was too late. she believes that i didn't love her anymore, and it makes her love to me disappears. we'll never be united…'

kotake then glanced at the now short haired girl, who was talking with one of their classmates there. he felt so guilty to her.

the mentioned girl, harukaze doremi, just kept talking to her classmates and tried to ignore the glance from the boy who sat next to her.

"so, actually you had a long hair before," stated kayoko, the one who talked with doremi in that class, "but why do you decide to cut it like this? don't say to me that you recently got a rejection from a boy and…"

"no, it's not because of that, kayoko-chan," she denied, "i just want to make it simpler and quicker to comb my hair and makes it ready, than if i should tie my hair like i usually did before i cut my hair. i just want to make it easy."

'it's what you said, but i know that actually, it's not the reason,' the boy who looked at them thought, 'it's because of my 'rejection' to you, isn't it?'

just a few seconds after that, a girl whose

own hair tied in two ponytail walked into the class. she looked so excited while she walked and said, half yelled, "it's a big scoop, everyone! a transfer student will come to our class today!"

"are you sure about this news, shimakura?" asked doremi, "we just recently started the last semester. how can our school receive a transfer student?"

"harukaze-san, i hear that news so clearly from hikaru-sensei," said shimakura kaori who then hold the pair of glasses which covered her eyes, "as you all know, i'm not only a talented photographer, but also a skilled reporter."

"really? if you're a skilled reporter, can you tell me the gender of this transfer student you're talking about?" said doremi sarcastically.

"it's a boy," answered shimakura, "can you see it? if i was unskilled, how can i know about it?"

"it's not a prove for me. you should tell me all about him that you know."

"alright, i'll explain. his name is akimoto rocky. he comes from tokyo. get it?"

"hai hai."

the bell then rang, 'told' them that the class would start soon.

some minutes later, their homeroom teacher, hikaru-sensei, came into the class with a black haired boy, the new student in that class. now it was proven that shimakura was right to say if there was a transfer student named akimoto rocky.

in his introduction, rocky said that he decided to join in the school's basketball club, as basketball was his favorite sports. he also asked some helps from all of his new friends in the class everytime he needed it.

hikaru-sensei then commanded him to sit down on the seat behind doremi, and when he walked to his seat, kotake felt something wrong about him. it was like rocky wanted to do something bad to doremi.

in fact, rocky was a playboy who was searching for his first target in this school, and as the girl who had the nearest seat from him, rocky locked the redhead as his first victim. since that day, he started to be near with her, and as a girl, doremi couldn't help but responded his attention to her seriously.

"hey, your hair color is really hot. i like it so much," praised rocky, "it makes you so beautiful. i wonder, why don't you let it become long?"

"uh, actually, i just recently cut my hair," said doremi.

"but why? don't you feel good to have a long hair?"

"well, there's a secret reason that i can't tell to you for now."

'must be a rejection,' thought rocky, 'it makes me wonder, what will she do when later i dump her after i said these sweet words? maybe she'll be in despair and then decide to end her life?'

'however, it makes everything become more exciting. i'll set everything so perfect to make my way become so smooth.'

day by day, rocky kept trying to persuade doremi that he loved her, and then he did it. now doremi believed that rocky liked her more than just a friend while she also felt the same. she really loved rocky and decided to confess her feeling once she had a chance.

'i hope rocky-kun can heal my

oken heart… after kotake indirectly rejected me.'

meanwhile, kotake also still kept an eye to them in his limited time, as he promised to himself that he would always protect doremi from anything bad that threatened her, although it was something or someone that she liked or loved.

'i don't care if now she thinks that i didn't love her anymore, because i know that what she thinks about me is wrong. in fact, i'm still loving her and will always be.'

.o.

several weeks later…

this evening, doremi had a promise to meet rocky at the rooftop of their school, and she had a plan to give a love letter to the black haired boy, as she thought that it was a good chance for her to confess her feeling.

'i wish i'll get it this time,' she thought, 'this is my last chance to get my love.'

after she waited there about five minutes, rocky came there and said to her, "sorry for being late."

"uh, that's okay," replied her, "i don't wait for a long time yet."
