If you asked me if I ever imagined myself to be at this point in life in the past, I would definitely have to laugh and admit that I hadn't. When I was younger, I imagined myself marrying a simple, yet intelligent girl and raising a few children birthed from our love for each other. I would tell that to people when they asked. I wanted the stereotypical family: a nice two-story house, white picket fence, an older son, a younger daughter, maybe some friendly dog (probably by my wife's insistence)... Never would I have expected to be where I am now. Living in an apartment (albeit a nice two-story one), with a male fiance, and three adopted sons... But I wouldn't trade it for the world. Me and Mamoru, my now fiance, go a ways back. We met when we were in middle school during this sort of band camp thing. It wasn't an actual camp, thankfully; I don't think I would have been able to handle the spiders and other bugs. Really, calling it a 'workshop' is probably a better term for it. But whatever you called it, we worked together to form a small band with other kids. We did other things, too, like singing, dancing, a little bit of acting to get our 'stage persona's figured out... It was a lot of fun, and I ended up really admiring Mamoru in the process. A lot of kids did, really. But I...I'm not sure when, but somehow my admiration ended up turning into love. We became friends after a bit, and hung out a lot even after the camp was over. I don't really know how a person like him agreed to be friends with someone like me...much less agree to go out with me once I'd gotten the courage to ask. But somehow, we ended up being high-school sweethearts even if we didn't go to the same school. At some point during our high-school years, though, he left to go study acting. I remembered being so distraught from his absence, but so glad once he came back that as soon as I could, I...ended up proposing, not wanting to risk losing him again. I always worried that maybe he didn't love me as much as I love him...but when he accepted my proposal, I realized how foolish that worry was. Mamoru was always the sort of person to seem content with how things were, not seeming too interested in changing his current lifestyle aside from learning new skills. So when he agreed to marry me as soon as we had the chance... But we never really did get married properly. Not yet, at least. We found a nice place to stay, and moved in almost immediately after graduating. We got jobs, just simple things. I played piano at nice hotels for extra money, and he sold the fishes he caught. I also wrote articles for a couple magazines, slowly working up the ladder to my desired job, while Mamoru took on various acting roles. I also started going to university, and...all that combined proved to be rather exhausting. But I couldn't have been happier. But it only got better after a couple months. Our first son, Ryouta, was a rather quiet boy, and rather shy around new people...but when he had gotten used to his new home, he proved himself to be a very cheerful, smiling child. I don't really know how he'd managed to go so long without finding a home...but I'm more than grateful that he came into ours. |
