Work Text:
It's him, it's always him.

Red wakes up way earlier than he should be waking up, yet he finds himself in a rush to brush his teeth, take a shower, put his clothes on and to eat food, his friends say that he's weird for waking up extremely early and he is just tiring himself out, they want to know the reason but Red just tells them that he likes having alot of time to himself, which isn't completely a lie.
The truth is, once he leaves the house, he doesn't immediately go to school, he heads over to a secluded field of roses, with someone very special to him waiting on the bench.
That special someone is Ash.
Because whenever it's early twilight, every single day before classes start, he meets with Ash to watch morning hit.
It's his favorite part of his day not only because of the opportunity to watch the beautiful sky, but also because he gets to spend his morning with Ash.
Both of them love their daily sunrise watching because yes, it's a beautiful view, but also because it feels like the only time in their day that they can feel like themselves.
No one is at a field of roses at such an early time, so no one can judge them as they cuddle on the bench, they feel safe there because no one is watching, they can love each other.
and whenever it's early twilight, Red watches for a star to break through, to admire it because it fought through the sunrise, but it's funny, it's not a star Red ends up admiring,
It's always Ash.
-
If Red ever has a bad day, he takes time before heading home to go to the same field of roses he meets Ash at, with a companion or not, but if he does have someone with him, it's always Ash.
And whenever Red roams through roses, and lately he often does, he finds it funny that it's not a rose he holds.
It's always Ash.

If Red has the opportunity to get out of the lecture room, he takes it. He finds that classroom suffocating, filled with people he doesn't like, he hates it in there because his friends aren't with him, the people he's familiar with aren't majoring in business.
So, alot of the times Red finds himself in the hallway, and whenever he thinks a breeze caresses him, it turns out.. It's just Ash running towards him.
And whenever Red hears a melody, it's just Ash laughing. Wherever Ash is, Red is near, and wherever Red is, Ash is near.
It's funny, really funny. Each time Red falls inlove, It's always Ash he falls inlove with.
It's always been Ash.

[‘Whenever it's early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star I see
It's always you.’
Whenever I roam through roses
And lately, I often do
Funny, it's not a rose I touch
It's always you.’
If a breeze caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If I hear a melody
It's merely the way you sigh,’
Wherever you are, you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love
It's always you.’]
[– It's always you.]
