Hinata and Makoto sat crossed-legged on the grassy forest floor, facing one another and smiling sweetly. Colorful wildflowers surrounded them as they sat, carefully weaving together different flowers into crowns. Hina finishes first, holding up the daisy crown with a proud smile and placing it gently atop Makoto's head, earning a giggle from the smaller boy. When his own flower crown is complete, Hina adorns it with a wide grin, leaning forward to press a kiss to his lover's forehead. The two boys share a laugh and intertwine their fingers, savoring the moment, with nothing but their love and one another. XX
A dream. A painfully good dream, at that. Hinata groans as he opens his eyes, taking note of the sunlight peeking through his grey curtains. It was already eight in the morning and he knew he'd have to get up if he was going to get to school on time. Normally, he wouldn't think twice about being a little bit late, but it was his first day and it'd be better to make his first impression a good one. And so, he dragged himself up from the bed, ignoring the tear stains left behind on his pillow. Ten minutes later and he was fully dressed, with his shirt and tie done up in a casual fashion and his hair pinned back to reveal his many, many earrings. His shirt was just thick enough to where his tattoos couldn't be seen through the fabric, which was most likely a good thing since tattoos weren't necessarily seen as 'appropriate' for someone his age, or any age really. Hina didn't care what anyone thought of them. XX
Once he was sure he hadn't forgotten anything, Hina grabbed a melon bread from the cupboard and left, locking the apartment behind him and headed down the four flights of stairs. It didn't take him long to get to the school, since it was relatively close to his apartment, but he took the time to enjoy the walk nonetheless. Hina found himself groaning inwardly as he realized his first class of the day was World History, which was the most bland class he could possibly have at nine in the morning. Upon seeing the crowded courtyard, however, the dread disappeared and was replaced with anticipation. XX
The first half of the school day passed quickly, and as soon as he'd introduced himself, Hina found that the females of his class were taking every chance they could get to talk to him. Whenever the teacher turned his back Hina would find notes being tossed to his desk, asking for his cell phone number and whether he was dating someone or not. And when lunch period arrived, the girls from his class and the class next door were suddenly flocking toward him. Hina was kind to them, giving out compliments and chatting with them in a friendly matter, causing a few of the girls to squeel. He could swear one of them ended up calling him sexy, but ignored the comment. He was completely unaware of the painfully familiar face that was approaching the scene. XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

For a moment, it was as if that all peace and happiness just shattered into nothingness, and all the was left was nothing but the debris of war that burn eternally, never seemed to have an ending. That's exactly what has happened when heaven and hell clashes.

After all, demons are once angels, but they had tainted their own grace that their creator has blessed them with. And now, they want a war. A war to reclaim "what supposed to be theirs."

But those who had never fallen into depravity wouldn't just sit and watch as their world is invaded. Thus, the millennium war finally ignited. Both angels and demons fell. Particles of sparks and dust are what remained of them after they've fallen to their own blades and swords. It was such a miracle to think that a battle like this was never known to the world beneath.

In the middle of the war, there stood a young angel. He's never thought that there would be a day when he really had to stood up to grasp the weight of a sword to fight again those who are once his kin. But it was his duty, it always was, ever since he came into existence thanks to the magnificent hand of the King. So, he casted aside all of his fear, knowing that with his beloved one by his side, there's nothing that will worried him again, and he'd fought valiantly for the sake of the Heaven - his eternal home.

But then, in an unexpected moment...

A spear was thrown from nowhere, and the black-haired angel was the supposed target of it. But without hesitation, the young angel has shielded his beloved. It pierced through the heart of the young angel. For the first time in forever, he actually know how pain feels. And he knows for sure that, his battle has ended. This is his end.

He weakly gazed towards his lover, who was running towards him. Raising his hand, he wanted to feel the warmth of his touch, just one more time. But before they could, the angel's body shattered into thousands of sparks.

"Until the day we meet again... in an after life..."

The alarm clock rang as loud as it could when it ticked 7:00 AM. Flinching in annoyance, Makoto reached out his hand to the bedpost next to him to turn it off. As much as he wanted to crawl deeper into his blanket and dig his face into his pillow, he knows that if he's going to be late and face the wrath of his homeroom teacher if he didn't get up anytime soon. So he lazily uncovered himself from the warmth of the bed.

Well, he's just cried again last night until midnight. Watching a sad movie wasn't a good idea at all...

After finished doing some personal hygiene that everyone does in the morning, Makoto went to the kitchen and made some omelet and toast for a simple breakfast. It's true that he had more freedom now that he's moved to Tokyo for his study. But aside from financial support from his parents, he pretty much has to do everything by himself. Not that it matters much, since he's always be an independent person. Being able to cook well is a blessing from Heaven itself already.

When Makoto's done with the meal, he washed the dish and heated up his bento for a few minute before wrapping it up in a cloth. His heart throbs a bit as he remembered how he used to make not just one bento. But he quickly shook the feeling off. It wasn't nice at all getting emotional in a nice morning like this, right?

As he made his way out of the complex, he greeted some of the middle-aged women who were his neighbors, probably had just back from morning errands. They kindly greeted him back. Having such kind-hearted neighbors were nice. Especially his next-door neighbor, who was also his landlord. The man has two daughters to feed everyday and yet he still cared a lot for the people in the complex.

"Ohayo, Mako-chan ~" The cheeky voice of a girl was spoken as Makoto made his way to school.

He smiled back to his best friend, Chitose, in return, "Ohayo, Chii-chan."

They both went to school together while chatting about all sorts of things. Chitose was a curious and energetic girl who never seemed to have a moment to rest. But she is good-hearted indeed and both of them had been friends since they were still in Junior High. When Makoto broke up with his ex, no one has come to his side to comfort him, aside from Chitose, who encouraged him and reminded him that it was not the end of the world. And he was grateful because of that. Although he did feel a little envy that Chitose is now so happy that she's going out with the boy of her dream now, much to the contrary of himself who hasn't even gotten over what has happened for like three months ago...

The morning lessons today went on peacefully without any events, though he did doze off a couple of time during Mathematics class, as usual. Though before he had a chance to enjoy his bento, one of the teacher had asked him and Chitose to bring a pile of papers to the Teachers' Office. As they happened to walk pass the classroom next to their, Makoto was little intrigued by the fact that so many girls are crowding in front of the entrance as if their idols were there.

"Hey, what's with the commotion?" Makoto raised his eyebrow and asked in curiosity.

"Well, who knows, probably some handsome new transfer student just moved in." Chitose shrugged, "Wanna take a peak?"

"No, I'm hungry so just finished with our job first." Makoto said as they moved on. As he made his way across the window, he glanced at the boy with black hair who sits in the corner and surrounded by girls squealing. And their eyes met. But then, he just walked across the crowd to get to the Teachers' Office, without looking back.

The song was pretty good, girl. Though I still prefer Jpop songs more. And your envision of Heaven is what most of us usually imagine LOL
The idea of sharing the same class is good :D I'll love to see how they'd react when together. And yeah, Chitose is the best matchmaker Makoto would ever met in his life LOL

The second Hinata's blue eyes found themselves staring into the familiar gold of Makoto's, they started welling up with tears, and suddenly his heart felt as if it had stopped completely. Standing in a rush, Hina barely managed to state that he was 'feeling ill' before he sprinted out of the classroom and down the hall to the bathroom, leaving the horde of girls to get back to whatever they did when they weren't surrounding him. Once he was in the bathroom he locked himself inside and slid to the floor, bawling. Hina was glad that no one else was in there to witness his rather dramatic breakdown. XX
He took a couple of minutes to compose himself and headed back to his classroom, all evidence that he'd been crying now gone. Luckily, the group of girls seemed to have dissipated in his absence, leaving him to chat with a couple of his male classmates. The conversation went from dating to sports to sex all in a span of about ten minutes, and while Hina put a good amount of his energy into the chat, his thoughts were filled with a certain brunette boy. XX
About fifteen minutes before the lunch period was to end, Hina excused himself from the group and made his way to the cafeteria in search of a vending machine, feeling the need for both something sweet and a bit of solitude. There turned out to be only one vending machine on either end of the school, and Hinata headed to the one that was closest to him. After a minute or two spent mulling over his choices, he decided on a bottle of green tea. Twisting off the cap, he downed nearly half the bottle in one go, sighing loudly and turning to leave, only to be faced with golden eyes and a face all too familiar. XX
Ignoring his earlier breakdown, Hina smiled brightly at Makoto and brought one hand to his hip. "Ah, so we meet again. I noticed you passing my class earlier, and would have introduced myself, had I not been occupied at that moment." Hina bowed politely, winking at Makoto as he straightened. "My name is Hideki Hinata, but for a boy as cute as you, I'll make an exception and let you call me Hina~ See you later!" Chuckling quietly under his breath, Hinata reached out and tousled the boy's hair before walking past him and back towards his classroom, sliding into his seat just as the warning bell rang. XX

I told myself I'd make Hina a flirty character, and I am not gonna disappoint. Also, sorry it took a bit, my internet started acting up. Its good now though!

~~I wasn't able to complete this post without laughing my ass of at how hilariously romantic Hinata is, I need to stop or I'm gonna give myself heartburn.~~

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

After walking passed the noisy classroom earlier, both Makoto and Chitose made their ways to the Teachers' Office without bumping on anything or anyone else. Makoto could only wondered what sort of person the person he's just eye-contacted with was. He couldn't help but feel a hint of familiarity in those blue eyes, even though both of them had never met before. Maybe it just a hunch. He thought with a shrug as both he and his best friend carried the piles of paper to the office.

Bowing their heads to the teachers, Makoto and Chitose made their ways back to their classroom. "Man, I couldn't believe it's lunch break and we always have to run around and do errands." The black-haired girl said while stretching her arms.

"Well, it's not bad lending an extra hand for those who in need at times, isn't it?" Makoto replied, smiling brightly for having helped someone.

"Yeah, yeah. I know how painfully helpful you are already." Chitose let out a sigh. Sometimes her best friend could get a bit too helpful and generous for his own good. It was the very reason why he's still getting on with a broken heart like that. But human's nature couldn't be changed that easily, after all, so she had to stay by his side to prevent him from getting hurt unnecessarily, until she find someone trustworthy enough to hand her adorable Mako-chan over.

When they're back to their classroom, it seemed that the commotion over the pretty boy earlier has died down for now. Taking out their bentos, Makoto and Chitose began to have lunch while talking about all sorts of stuff. Ranging from some hardcore, BDSM-themed yaoi manga Makoto has just bought (he knows he have a rather extreme taste when it comes to what he read, but no, he's neither an S or an M) to the date of Chitose and her boyfriend last night. It was pretty much everyday conversation for them.

"So, what do you think about the boy earlier in the class next to us? Seemed like a hottie. Is he up to your taste?" Chitose suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Makoto raised his eyebrow upon hearing the sudden question. It was strange to hear that his best friend actually interested in some boys rather than her boyfriend, "Well, yeah, I agree. He looks like a hottie, but you can never know a person unless you get close to them." He said with a shrug, "But hey, why are you speaking as if you're certain that he's a homo like that?"

"Who knows?" Chitose burst out laughing.

After finishing their bentos, the two of them made their way towards the vending machine in the cafeteria. And speaking of the devil, the boy of their conversation was standing there, drinking a can of something. Now that Makoto has gotten a chance to see the boy more clearly, it was true that the boy was really good-looking. He couldn't help but gulping a bit. but he better keep his image. But what the boy was saying next taken him aback.

D-Did he just flirt with me? He asked himself as his face turned red a little bit. And he was startled even more when he felt the hand of the boy tousling his hair. "W-What are you...!" Makoto yelled while blushing, but the strange boy has quickly disappeared.

"Ooh." The girl who has been forgotten spoke up, "Someone outwardly flirted with Mako-chan. That's something new. You're slowly becoming a boy hooker, you know." She said in a mischievous manner.

"S-Shut up." Makoto turned his reddened face away. It seemed that he really was getting more sensitive after all that happened to him three months ago. What a weird guy.

Haha, that's really something. I'm looking forward to seeing how Makoto would react.
And BTW, Happy New Year <3

The next two classes - Mathematics and English - passed quickly, and Hina was relieved when it was announced that Gym class would be next. He'd always excelled in sports and enjoyed them much more than equations and foreign vocabulary. The classroom cleared out as the students headed toward the locker rooms, and Hina chatted with a couple of new friends as they made their way there. It took quite a lot of effort not to stare when he noticed that Makoto was changing into his own gym uniform on the other side of the room, especially since the boy had no recollection of Hinata at all. XX
After the boys and girls of the class had been separated, the boys were sent outside to do their exercises while the girls got to work inside the gym. Hina ignored the complaints of his classmates and instead focused on observing Makoto, watching who he spoke to and who he seemed to avoid. When their gym teacher instructed them to find someone for partner exercises, he wasted no time in running over to the boy, proudly declaring that he would be partners with no one else in the class. He spent the next ten minutes completing the different exercises, complimenting Makoto on everything he did. XXX
"Thank you very much for being my gym partner, no one else would have been quite as much fun~" Hinata smiled down at Makoto and waved as he headed to the track, easily passing the other joggers. In his mind, the only thing he could see was Makoto's sparkling golden eyes, calm and familiar. XXX
Hinata spent the rest of the class with his small group of friends, not wanting to seem over-zealous by spending every second with Makoto, even though he wanted to never let the boy out of his sight again. After a game of soccer and another four laps around the track, the class ended and everyone flocked back to the locker rooms. Hina watched with peaked interest as Makoto chatted with a dark-haired girl, the same girl he'd seen him with earlier that day. The two seemed close, and Hina suddenly realized that his love may not even be single, scolding himself for having forgotten the possibility. XX
If it turn out that Makko was taken, Hina told himself that he would have to give up on the boy, whether they were meant to be together or not. He knew that it'd be rude to keep flirting with someone who was already in love. As he followed his friends back to their classroom, his thoughts were plagued with images of Makoto kissing and loving another person, and he found himself feeling absolutely depressed by the time he took his seat.

I seriously want to put these two in every Shojo manga scene ever. I want to see them playing the piano together, wiping crumbs of each other's faces, carrying each other, sleeping at each other's houses, getting soaked in the rain, everything. They're just too damn cute.

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

After the encounter with the weird flirtatious boy earlier, Makoto made his way back to the classroom with Chitose to continue with their afternoon lesson. Geography and Modern Literature went on peacefully, but he still couldn't believe that he was flirted like that. It was not often that he was being like that, so he doesn't really know how to react. And it was hard to concentrate for the next two hours.

The upcoming period was P.E. and, as usual, Makoto's class and the class next to his will share the same period. The thought of sharing the same class with the weird boy did sound a little bit... frustrating, but he guessed it's unavoidable. Changing clothes in the dressing room never ceases to be a mental challenge to him, as he have to prevented himself from getting a nosebleed. Still, there are times that the sight of the boys being half-naked did make him have pervy dreams though.

And, for the rest of the period, Makoto could only getting more flustered as he noticed the Hinata boy keep looking at him and watching every of his movement. I'm going to be a gossiping topic if this keep going on... He thought. But it wasn't the most embarrassing of things. He felt as if he just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself after Hinata declared out loud that he'd partner with no one else in the class. The boys' jaws dropped to the cloud, some of the girls from both classes looked at him in envy while the fujoshi squealed and screamed for them. O' eight million gods of heaven, please save me...

He really wanted to give that boy a piece of his mind, but he was too embarrassed to even say anything. He figured that the best for now would just to get on with the period. But he couldn't concentrate at all, hearing all sorts of compliments from the boy. Really, what's wrong with this guy? He could only asked himself while putting up with the boy in utter annoyance.

When the period is finished, Hinata smiled to Makoto and remarked how fun it was. And again, before he could even said anything, he disappeared faster than a wind. Sighing, Makoto could only packed his things up and continue with the rest of the remaining classes until school day is over. He could only wondered if tomorrow the weird guy would be making a move on him again.

Meanwhile, Chitose has excused herself as Makoto headed home first. She went to Hinata, who was the last one to leave his class, "Hey, flirty boy. Haven't got home yet?"

She headed inside the classroom and stood next to where Hinata was sitting, "So you just got transferred here and you've already become famous, huh? Though my gaydar is strong so I realized immediately that you weren't so straight when you set your eye on Mako-chan like that. Good choice, I must say. And lucky for you, he's currently free." Chitose lowered herself down, with a smile still presented on her face and her hands still locked behind her back, "I don't know whether if you're serious about going after him or not, but just remember that I've always been closed to him ever since we're still in Junior High. He's helpful and kind indeed, but he's a lot more fragile than he looked and I'm not going to let anyone hurt his feeling by toying with him. Just for you know, Mako-chan had broken up with his ex for 3 months already and he still hasn't gotten over it. But I don't think you're a bad guy though, so I'll keep an eye on you for now. Do you think you can make it?"

When she finished saying all that she got to say, Chitose headed to the entrance of the class, and said one last sentence before disappeared from the scene, "As a my last advice, you better take it into consideration of when and where to hit on him, otherwise you'll only drive him away from you. Good luck then."

Who says Chitose couldn't be protective? xD

Hina was surprised when Makoto's friend - whom he'd learned was named Chitose - ended up coming into his classroom just to talk to him. Her advice was much appreciated, but Hinata's heart fell when the girl mentioned that Makoto had an ex-lover. It wasn't the fact that he'd dated someone else that was saddening, it was that the sweet boy had been hurt by that person, and was apparently still hurting. Hina suddenly felt bad for being so forward, and silently scolded himself for not having taken Makoto's own feelings into consideration while flirting with him. As Chitose left, Hina hurriedly grabbed his things and raced after her, ignoring the attention they were both getting. "Kirishima-san." He made sure not to yell. "Thank you for speaking to me." XX
Flashing the girl a bright smile, Hina headed out of the school and towards work, a popular Maid Cafe in the area. The cafe itself wasn't too far from the school, and he got there without many distractions. His thoughts were filled with Makoto the entire walk, however, and he'd grown extremely frustrated by the time he got to the cafe. Why would anyone want to hurt him? He's definitely more fragile than I remember, but that's not really this issue, is it... XX
Hina entered the building from the back door and headed to the changing room, swapping out his school uniform for the near, suit-like outfit he wore while serving tables. The cafe was already rather crowded, as it was every day, and he barely had time to acknowledge his neighbor Jintan before the two were put to work. Being a Maid Cafe, each customer was allowed to request whichever server they wished, whether that server be male or female. There was a limit to how many people one server could be helping, which had been added in after one of the girls had an asthma attack due to the stress. Hinata and Jintan were both very popular among the female customers, which gave them little time to chat in between orders, sadly enough. XXXX
Hina did love his job. On top of being able to chat with customers, he was also in charge of kicking out those who were disrespectful to the staff, which on most days turned out to be men who treated the maids as if they were sex slaves. The amount of men he and Jintan had kicked out that week alone was quite alarming, though not at all surprising. After all, their maids were indeed beautiful. They just didn't deserve to be treated in such crude ways. XX

She's perfect! And I actually laughed while reading the line about Makko getting nosebleeds in the locker room because I actually have one right now~ XX
Also, I feel like Hina would want to apologize to Makoto for being insensitive, so perhaps he could come to the cafe by chance and receive his apology? XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Makoto was strolling his way back to his apartment. For some reason, he hadn't been able to leave the weird boy called Hinata out of his mind. Well, mostly it was such embarrassing experience that he couldn't helped but blushing again the moment he thought about it. But is he really that attractive? The weirdest of thing was how a boy who has just recently moved in could set his eye on him right away like that. He could only wishes that tomorrow won't be as flustered.

"Oi, Mako-chan." Chitose waved to her best friend as she caught up with him.

"Hey, where have you just disappeared to?" Makoto turned to the black-haired girl and asked. Chitose sometimes have somethings in her mind that he couldn't just comprehend. She'd been such an enthusiastic matchmaker since then but most of those whom she introduced to her weren't his type.

"It's nothing of your concern." She giggled mischievously, "But rest assure, tomorrow I'm pretty sure that you won't be pestered as badly as today."

Makoto raised an eyebrow towards the later remark of his best friend. But then he just shrugged. Maybe she's up to something again, but it'd be a lot better if he isn't becoming the center of attention tomorrow. Both of them parted way when they reached Makoto's complex. As he walked his way up to his apartment, he was greeted by his landlord. "Oh, good afternoon, Hikaru-ojiisan."

"Hey, Makoto. Just got home from school, eh?" The middled-age man raised his hand, then handed Makoto some postcards and letters, "Here, this is for you. Looks like they're from your folks."

"Thank you, ojiisan." He smiled in appreciation and took what was sent for him from Hikaru. It was indeed from his parents.

"It's my job so that's fine." Hikaru laughed, "Anyway, it's been quite a while since I last saw that fancy-clothed black-haired boy come over. You two had stopped getting acquainted or something?"

Hearing the question from his landlord, Makoto's heart skipped a bit. And somehow, he was hurt, again. He's always been hurt for more than three months already. But how did whenever someone brought it up again, he still couldn't get over it? "I... don't think he'll ever come again." Makoto managed to smile, but he has to hold back his tears that almost dwell up in him again.

Bidding adieu to his landlord, Makoto went inside his apartment. Leaning himself against his door, he sighed depressingly. "What am I even doing with my life?" He said to himself. Most people would have gotten over a broken love in just a couple of weeks or one month at most. But for someone like him, it feels as if it's going to take forever.

For the couple of hours later, Makoto finished with every other stuff he got to do for the day, before wearing his scarf and decided to go for a walk. He might be able to lift some weights off his mind this way. But in the end, he still stopped by the maid café shop that he and his ex used to go to back then.

What he couldn't even expected that the person whom he'll meet there.

When the door opened and Makoto strolled in, Hinata was the only server who wasn't occupied, so he walked over to the boy with a bright smile and went through with his usual speech. "Welcome, young sir. All of our other servers are too busy at the moment, so I'm afraid I'll have to do, if that's alright. Right this way please~" Hina grabbed a menu and led Makko to one of the few empty tables, which was situated in the back of the establishment, next to a window with a nice view of the street outside. "Before I take your order, I would like to apologize for being so straight-forward today. I didn't take your feelings into consideration, and if its alright with you, I would very much like to be friends. Now, what can I get for you today?". XX
After taking Makoto's order, Hina bowed politely to the boy and smiled before attending to his other customers. It was a while before he could deliver Makoto's order, due to both the large evening crowd and another customer that needed to get kicked out, but luckily the boy's food was still hot by the time it finally got to its owner. He felt a little disappointed that he couldn't chat with Makoto like he usually would, and silently cursed the dinner rush. XX
Hina was grateful when the crowd started to thin out, but as with most good things, there was a catch. The catch for the thinning crowd just so happened to be a small influx of rowdy men who usually came from the bar down the road, always there for the sole intention of causing trouble for Hinata and Jintan, who were the only male servers. One of the men who entered started shit up right away, flirting mercilessly with one of the quieter waitresses. The scene turned dramatic the second the man decided to start groping the poor girl. Hina was the first to notice, and stepped into the situation with a stone-cold expression, his height gaining an inch or two on the guy. "Sir, I'm afraid you'll have to leave. Immediately." The man only scoffed at him. XXXXX
There were a couple of seconds where Hina and the man simply glared at each other before it all went to hell. Hina gained a nosebleed and a cut lip before he finally managed to drag the guy out of the cafe, his manager calling the police while Jintan made sure he didn't run off. When Hina came back into the cafe, a few of the female customers applauded him, to which he simply smiled back and made sure the waitress was alright, completely ignored the blood running down his face. "Oi, Hideki, go and clean yourself up before you get blood on your uniform." Hina nodded to his manager and headed to the bathroom, flashing the smallest smile towards Makoto as he passed. Business returned to usual after that, without much more drama. XXXX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Walking in the shop with a rather down mood, Makoto was quickly taken aback by the oh-so-familiar voice that has been haunting him for the whole day now. Gazing up to the black-haired guy, Makoto's expressions went black for a few second. Of all places, why do they have meet again right here? Seeing Hinata, of course he'd remember all things that had happened during school, so he quickly put up his defense, just in case.

"Y-You worked here?" He asked cautiously while trying to remain calm, but Hinata just walked up to him with the brightest smile he'd got and welcomed Makoto inside, without flirting with him in anyway. Again, the guy surprises him. Though, he just shrugged and nodded to the boy in front of him while making his way inside and sat down at an empty table nearby. Oh well, I guess Chii-chan was right, he doesn't seemed to be insensitive as he looks.

Hinata went on to apologize on how he'd behaved towards Makoto today and hope that they can be friend, in which Makoto nodded in appreciation. He then took a quick glance through the menu and said his order, "I'll get an ice matcha latte and a piece of cheesecake, thank you."

As Hinata took the order and bowed politely before going to take orders from other tables, Makoto silently gazed outside of the window and watch the scenery outside. He hasn't stopped by this café shop once after the last time he and his ex went here together. But even now, it still brings back a lot of memories though. He remembered how happily they would talk together while sharing a piece of cake, or how Makoto peacefully laid his head on his loved one's shoulder and enjoy the soft, soothing music of the shop. They were such happy moments that they wrenched his heart.

Luckily that Hinata had brought his food and drink over in time, or else Makoto will be lost in his thought again. The crowds in the shop has seemingly died down now, but there was a couple of molesters blended in here and harassing some waitresses. Hinata and another bodyguard had taken care of them, but quite a commotion has happened and it seemed that the black-haired boy was wounded, although not very severe. Even still, the guy put up a smile towards Makoto as he went into the WC.

And, this is usually where Makoto's helpful personality kicked in. Completely putting aside on how flirtatious Hinata was, he followed the guy into the bathroom. "Hey, you okay? I have to say you were quite heroic out there." He said with a gentle smile as he approached him while putting out some tissues in his pocket, "Let me see your wounds."

Makoto rolled a tissue and stuff it in Hinata's nostril to stop the nosebleed and wiped the blood on Hinata's lips with another one. When he's done, the black-haired boy looked pretty okay. "That should do it." He leaned himself against the sink, "To reply to your statement earlier, it's not like that I didn't like being flirted or anything. It'd be okay if we're alone, I guess. But I don't want others to get the wrong idea of me, since we've barely met until this morning, so I'd be grateful if you can be more aware of time and space should you ever do it again."

Then, he scratched his face, "And... of course I wouldn't mind being friend with you, Hina-kun. Hope we can get along."

Aww, isn't he adorable :D

Anyway, for some reason when I was taking a nap this afternoon, I was thinking what if I make our Mako-chan someone who's usually very innocent, but turns into a sly, seductive fox on bed? I did say that he and his ex did things in the dark after all LOL

Ahhhh, I've been reading too much of 'those stuffs'. I always have such intense desire to write NSFW contents xD

Even with the tiniest bit of physical contact when Makoto's fingers brushed his face, Hina's heart started racing, and he had to push down the desire to hug him and never let go. He listened to every word the boy said with a soft smile, relishing in the sound of a voice he'd known so well. One Makoto was finished speaking, Hina's smile widened, and he pushed a strand of black hair from his face as he replied. "I'm glad. I was worried I'd turned you away from me, or that I'd insulted you in some large way." A bit of sadness showed in his expression, and though he continued smiling, the emotion remained. XX
"I'm very glad I didn't. It would have been rather hard to lose you again." It wasn't until he saw the confused look on Makoto's face that Hina realized what he'd said, and laughed nervously, scratching the side of his cheek with his hand. "Sorry, I'm not making much sense, am I?" Hina stood and softly smoothed a hand over his friend's hair. "Thank you for the First Aid, I should get back to work now." And with that, he left, scolding himself once again. XX
For the last two hours of his shift, Hinata found himself plagued with thoughts of a certain brunette boy, and although his optimistic expression remained the same as always, even some of the regular customers could tell he wasn't feeling his best. It was partly because of how tired he was - seven hours of school and then a six hour work shift left little time for resting - but it was mostly due to the sudden influx of still-vulnerable memories and feelings concerning Makoto. Hina knew the boy wasn't to blame, since it was his emotions he needed to deal with, but was a lie to say Makko wasn't the cause. XX
When his shift finally ended, he was absolutely exhausted. Hina dreaded the hour's worth of homework that awaited him once he got home, and even more so the fact that he'd have to repeat the whole cycle again tomorrow. However, he did love his job, and definitely wouldn't be able to get by without it. Since Jintan was his next-door neighbor, and had the same shift, the two walked home together. Their conversation consisted mostly of school and sports and a little bit about Jintan's girlfriend, Momo. Once they got to their floor, the two bid each other goodbye and disappeared into their homes. XXXX
Hina fought the urge to simply neglect his grades in favor of a good night's sleep, and made himself a bowl of ramen before plopping down at his dining room table to complete the different worksheets due the next day. It didn't take nearly as long as he'd anticipated, and he was in bed by ten o' clock. XXXXX
Unfortunately, he couldn't find sleep. After at least fifteen minutes of staring at the ceiling, Hina crawled out of bed and sighed, trying to think of something to do that wouldn't stimulate his brain and make it even harder to fall asleep. His eyes settled on a sketchpad he'd bought the week before. Finding a pencil and settling back underneath the covers, Hinata used the light coming in the window and started drawing, not bothering to follow any sort of plan. He let out another sigh as the drawing made itself clear, showing a rather realistic image of Makoto. The boy still had his wings in the picture, large and detailed and looking just as soft and Hina could remember. He closed the book and went back to sleep, finally falling into his dreams. XX

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Makoto had a little chat with Hinata in the bathroom after he's given the other boy some first aid. It was... quite enjoyable to strike up a conversation with him, to say the least. He did feel a little confused when Hinata said something like it was hard to let him go again, as if they've met before. But perhaps that is just on a whim so he didn't pay much attention to it. Hinata then thanks him for patching him up and going back with his duty. And Makoto went back to his table to finish his drink and cake.

After feeling that his heart wasn't so burdened anymore, he paid the money and said goodnight to Hinata before going back home. The streets were crowded as always and the cold breeze of the night is still blowing gently. Makoto walked straight hom without bumping into anyone. There are times that he did feel lonely even when he's surrounded by crowds of people, and he was glad he still had a shoulder to lean on. But all of it now had shattered into dust, no more, no less.

Having finished his homework earlier before going out, he decided that he should just go straight to bed for now. Of course, like many other nights, Makoto couldn't just possibly sleep before plaguing his own mind with thoughts about his ex. Thousands of questions jumped out of his mind, repeated endlessly everynight. But then, for some reason, the image of a certain of flirtatious boy suddenly popped up. The day was embarrassing indeed, but Hinata wasn't a bad guy at all.

This is the first night he was able to sleep peacefully, albeit just a little.

When he awoke, Hinata found tears on his pillow again, this time having been caught up in dreams of some of the more intimate moments he'd shared with Makoto, and he pushed them aside in favor of focusing on the school day ahead. It took him a bit longer to get ready than it had the day before, simply because he kept getting distracted by the drawing that remained on his nightstand. I've gotta stop wallowing in memories like this or I'll go mad. XX
Once he was dressed and had eaten something, he moved to leave, but his gaze turned back to the sketchbook and lingered there until he finally made a decision, grabbing the book and shoving it deep into his bag. The walk was short as it was but felt even shorter since Hina spent the entire fifteen minutes lost in thought. Thoughts of Makoto. Memories of Makoto, old and new. No matter what he did, he just couldn't get the boy out of his head, not that he really wanted to. Yeah, there's now way I'm going to be able to stop wallowing in memories. Hinata smiled and waved to a few of his classmates. XX
Hinata didn't care much for his first class. He and Makoto had spent centuries watching history play out first-hand, so there wasn't much he didn't know, even if a lot of the information in the history textbooks was false. And thus, he spent the majority of the class drawing Makoto yet again, though this time in the same outfit and expression he'd been wearing at the cafe the previous night. He managed to complete two more drawings of the boy before the bell rang and the teachers switched out, his mathematics class beginning. Hinata enjoyed mathematics, yet still ended up doodling Makoto in the margins of his notebook. The next two classes went by in this same fashion, with indecipherable notes surrounded by dozens of images of a young boy. XX
As lunchtime rolled around again, Hina gave into his better judgement and fled the classroom, heading to the vending machine to avoid his 'fangirls'. XXXX

I think it'd be cool if we had a funny/dramatic scene where Makoto finds out about all the drawings Hina made of him. By funny I mean pretty much anything (it'd be easy to conjure ideas) and by dramatic I mean that perhaps someone else could find the drawings and tease/bully Makoto about them? XX
~~And then we cue for a protective Hina 'cause Makko's in trouble.~~ I don't really know how to go about creating such a situation though. You got any ideas?

Before Makoto knew it, morning has fast approached and a new day has yet begun. As the alarm clock went off as loud as it could like every morning. Grumpily reaching his hand towards the clock to turn the annoying sound off, Makoto rolled himself to the side. He should have gotten over the fact that there's no one lying next to him anymore. The bed feels so empty and cold that sometimes he found it hard to bear. All those embarrassing things that he and his ex did and how lewd he was, he still remember it all.

It took him a couple of minutes to find it in his heart to move out of his bed and get changing for school. For him, mornings usually starts slowly. He's not really the type who wanted to rush and be all hyped first thing in the day. When he's finished his breakfast, he walked out of his apartment and made his way to school as usual. On the way, he met up with Chitose and both of them engaged in their usual morning chat. A completely normal morning, to say the least.

When they entered their class, it seemed that Hinata did stick to his word, as Makoto didn't seem to find him and flirted like yesterday. But some of his classmates hadn't forgotten what happened and it become quite a topic around his desk. Makoto could only smiled awkwardly in response.

And so the morning classes quickly passed peacefully. This might be the only time he isn't plagued with thought and was able to really concentrate in something. As the lunch break was here, Makoto went to the cafeteria to buy himself some lunch. Yakisoba bread was always his favorite.

Though on his way, suddenly he saw a sketchbook that someone had dropped. Picking it up, he initially didn't have any intention to take a peek, but a paper that have the drawing of someone that shares the same hairstyle as him raised his curiosity. Opening the sketchbook, his jaw dropped to the ground upon seeing what was inside.

"Hey, Mako-chan. Akira-kun and I are going to a karaoke after school, wanna..." Chitose popped up from behind Makoto's back, but her attention was quickly turned to what he was holding, "Oooooh..."

Hinata, in his rush to avoid the invasive crowd of girls, had neglected to notice when his sketchbook tumbled out of his bag and was left behind. He didn't take notice of this until far after he'd reached his hiding spot. What if someone's stepped on it? His expression grew slightly panicked as he realized an even worse fear. What if someone looks in it?! As he thought, his pace quickened as he searched the halls for the small, leather-bound book. XX
When his eyes finally fell on the familiar worn-out cover of his sketchbook, he grew relieved, and two seconds later he was feeling absolutely terrified as he saw just who was holding it. Why him, of all people? Hina felt his face grow pink as he approached Makoto and Chitose, one hand rubbing the back of his head nervously and the other pointing to the open book. "Um, I'm afraid that belongs to me...may I have it back please?" For once in his life, he was actually embarrassed, and avoided making eye contact in the hopes that no one would notice. He felt more at ease when the book was in his hands. XX
"I'm sorry for drawing you without your permission, usually I would ask first, but...I guess no one else seemed very inspiring to me." Hinata grew less awkward as he spoke, deciding to simply say the truth - well, most of the truth - and hope that it wouldn't destroy his chances of being the boy's friend. XX

I had a wild night (and not in a good way). So, I woke up at about 5 AM feeling like absolute shit, then vomited chicken soup all over my room. And when I wake up this morning, its snowing (which is pretty rare in my area)! Its as if the world is saying sorry for making me ill...

Also, I kind of forgot about the whole 'Hina saves Makko from the bullies' idea until I'd already finished the post...ehehe. Still cute as heck though!

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Makoto was literally frozen solid upon seeing the his drawings in the sketchbook. All of his life, he never could have even thought that there's someone who would draw him like this. But it seemed this person really has to observed him a lot of times already, as the details were almost exactly the same as him in real life. Some of them were him as an angel of sort. Looking at these, he doesn't know whether he should be happy or not.

"Look at that." Chitose poked in with a teasing look, "Mako-chan finally had a secret admirer, eh ~?"

"S-Shut up." He quickly closed the sketchbook up while turning his head away in embarrassment. Then just seconds later, the most unexpected of people appeared. He scratched his back while pointing at the sketchbook and told them that it was his, which was even more shocking to Makoto. But he thought that he mustn't lose his composure here of all places. Well, he isn't sure how to react in this situation just yet, but to prevent further awkwardness for the two of them, it's better to just brush it off.

"I-It's fine, Hina-kun. It's your hobby so... I wouldn't mind much. And your drawings were beautiful, by the way." Makoto managed to put on a smile, "H-Have a good afternoon then, I'll see you around."

With that said, Makoto continued with his journey to the cafeteria hastily, trying to hide the fact that his face is still reddened. Chitose was left behind with Hinata as she giggled mischievously with the other boy, "Oh my. You really are his number one fan, aren't you? But I have to say, it was cute. Just keep approaching him and take care of him well and he'll fall for you, eventually." Then, she went on the opposite direction with Hinata, "You might want to stop by the gym and watch Mako-chan practice volleyball with his team today. It's going to make quite a drawing in your collection."

And so, the lunch break went on without anymore drama. So was the afternoon's lessons. Makoto couldn't help thinking how Hinata could possibly make him - a rather ordinary person, in his opinion, to be his model. But nonetheless, if Hinata didn't do anything that overstepped the boundary then he guessed it wasn't much of a problem.

After the last period, he made his way to the dressing room and changed to his team's uniform. One of the team member called for him as he entered the gym. He smiled and greeted back in return. And for the next few hours, Makoto felt as if he's almost forgotten everything, only to focus on the sport he was playing and how enthusiast he was with it. Volleyball has never ceased to be a passion with him.

He's been a member ever since he enrolled high school and has always been a key member. He jumped and dashed to catch up with every movement of the ball, waited for the right moment and strike. He was out of breath for a few moments and his whole body is covered with sweat, but he's never felt more alive. As the sunset dyed the whole scenery with an alluring red, he'd played with all his heart.

"Alright, let's call it a day, guys. Keep up the spirit and we'll go straight to the national." The team captain said to them all and everyone, including Makoto, replied with a cheer. Drying up the sweats with a towel, Makoto went to the school's male bathroom to take a quick shower. Luckily, there were separated shower booths or else it would be too much for him to take. He still has to work part-time tonight so it's going to be busy.

Better take care of your health, girl. Weather can be a real jerk sometimes :)
And, Makoto's going to work part-time at a fast-food store or something. Maybe it'll be near Hina place and he'll happen to stop by it later? :D

Hinata watched Makoto until he was out of sight, before turning to Chitose and listening to what she had to say. He almost thought it was odd how supportive the girl was being. It was as if she wanted nothing more than for her friend to fall in love. When she mentioned volleyball, Hinata perked up a bit, remembering the game and how interesting it had seemed to him and Makoto, although they'd never played themselves. "I think I will. Thank you, Kirishima-san." He bowed to her politely and returned to his classroom, smiling as he took his seat. Now he had something to look forward to after class. XX
Once the school day was over, Hinata gathered his things and slowly made his way to the gym, stopping every once in a while to chat with his classmates or reply to someone's mention of him. He could already hear loud bangs and shouts from the gym when he arrived, the doors left open. It seemed he wasn't the only person who had come to observe the practice, since there were quite a few other students lining the bleachers. Hina sat away from the crowd and searched the court for Makoto, pencil in hand, and started sketching the moment his eyes fell on the head of brunette hair. An hour later, and Hinata had completed two new drawings, one of Makoto spiking and the other of him receiving. I'm going to be late for work if I don't leave... XX
Work was rather tame, compared to the previous night, and not much happened other than a broken plate and a couple of sad faces due to the fact that some of the more popular waitresses called in sick and had to be replaced. Around six o' clock, someone ended up spilling black coffee on the carpet, and when no one could find any carpet cleaner, Hina volunteered to buy some from a corner store down the street. The air was slowly growing colder and he could feel the breeze through his uniform. Walking into the store, Hinata found the carpet cleaner and headed to the cashier, slightly out of breath. XXXXX
He couldn't help but smile when he found Makoto's face staring back at him. "Our paths seem to be crossing quite a lot lately, eh?" Hinata knew that he couldn't stay too long, but he chatted with his friend anyways, knowing that he could just jog back to the cafe if he ran out of time. After all, it was Makoto he'd come to Earth for, not jobs or school or anything else, so he might as well take advantage of the situation instead of letting it go to waste. XX

We've had snow for three whole days! Its so awesome! I spent the day before yesterday in bed with the flu and yesterday was spent in recovery, so I haven't been able to even get upstairs, must less get a post up. I am back, however! ~~And I'm also a huge volleyball nerd so there is much terminology.~~ XXX
Also, to explain the volleyball idea: from what I know about past lives (which is actually quite a lot), the things people love or are good at are often things that we may have been good at and/or idolized in the past. In this case, perhaps Makoto always wanted to play volleyball but never got around to it? That part might sound kind of ridiculous actually, since he did spend nearly ten centuries as an angel, but oh well! Just wanted to clear that part up. XXX

"Ah, that was refreshing." Makoto said to himself as he walked out of the shower booth while drying his hair off with a towel. Some of his teammates commented that he's been practicing harder and more enthusiastic than most of them for the last three months and his skill is rapidly developed. They said jokingly that it almost seemed as if he didn't have any real hobbies due to his devotion. Most of the time he'd just brush it off but he understood why he's been putting so much efforts into things that he's good at.

Earlier, he did notice that Hinata was presented in the spectators who watched them practicing. And of course, he was drawing him. Makoto felt a little anxious at first, but he's so concentrated into slapping the ball that he didn't leave any rooms for frustration. He wonders how did the guy know he was in the volleyball team for a second, but then just shrug as he carried his
is schoolbag and made his way to the place where he worked part-time.

It was a convenience store situated in the corner of the street which was quite close to his apartment. He's been working here since he arrived in Tokyo for study. It's not like that his parents didn't send him enough money but he thought that he shouldn't utterly rely on them. Now, he only needed financial supports for school and rental fees. Anything else he needed is affordable within his savings since he lived alone after all.

Walking through the back entrance for staffs, Makoto saw his manager, Arata, was also changing. "Good evening, Arata-san." He smiled and greeted the black-haired young man.

"Hey there, Makoto-kun." The other man replied as he put on his cap, "How's your day? Just got back from school, eh?"

"Yes, it was fine. Has the sale been good today?" He asked as he got changed into working uniform.

"We've just moved in a lot of products so you can guess. I didn't even have time to take a breath since morning." Arata shrugged.

They exchanged a couple of sentences with each other. When Makoto's finished changing, he made his way to the counter in the store and began his shift for the day. It was quite a busy day indeed as there were a quite a few of customers stopping by tonight. But he managed it all with a bright smile with customers. And then...

Hinata appeared in his waiter's suit and asked to buy some carpet cleaner. Makoto couldn't help but stare at his schoolmate for a few minutes until the latter remarked on how their paths seemed to be crossing quite often recently. Well, he couldn't agree more. "Well, I suppose it was." He said as he used the scanner on the price tag of the cleaner, "That would be 2500 yen, please."

His evening seemed to went on normally without any dramas, he supposed.

It sounds nice to be in snowy season, eh? I wanna see snow for once in my life too xD

And I think that the way Makoto is good at volleyball stuff is just like how he's good at cooking and piano and any other hobbies he'd taken up in his reincarnated life :D He's had quite a lonely past after all so he got to find something to cope with it, right? Especially since he still hasn't moved on after breaking up :)

Once he'd purchased the cleaner, Hinata made to leave, but turned back toward his friend while standing in the doorway. "Oi, Makko. Just so you know, we have a sale on cake right now and the shifts don't change till eight, so if you get off before then don't be afraid to stop by on your way home. Good night~" Grinning and waving to the boy, Hina headed out of the store and hurried back to the cafe, just in time to clean the stain before the next rush hour crowd poured in. He was rather busy for the next thirty minutes or so and hardly even had time to wash his hands in between different customers. XXX
When he did finally get a break, he simply flopped down on a chair in the corner of the kitchen, watching the other waitresses prepare confectionery and wallowing in the heat of the room, as well as the comforting smells. Most of his work nights were insanely busy, but he didn't really mind all the hustle. XXX
"Hey, Hideki." Hina looked up to find Jintan standing above him, leaning on the wall and apparently waiting for his order to finish being prepared. "You in love with that Kazekiri kid or something? He used to come in here all the time with some guy named Takazaki, but yesterday was the first time I've seen him here in a while, and you were pretty much ogling him the entire time you spoke to him." Hinata sighed, punching Jintan in the side playfully before standing up and returning to his work without a word. He knew Jintan would probably just tease him about it. XX
Of course, it wasn't as if he was embarrassed or afraid to admit it. If need be, he wouldn't hesitate to tell the whole school that he was in love with Makoto. It was more that he didn't want to get his hopes up, especially since the boy was still vulnerable. In time, perhaps, he could find a way to help. XX

After taking the money from Hinata, Makoto put the cleaner into a plastic bag and gave it to the other boy, "Here you go." Hinata then went on saying that there's cakes on sale in the maid cafe shop down the street and if he wanted to buy some then he shouldn't miss it. Makoto smiled, "I'll think about it. Have fun working." He waved slightly to the taller boy as he walked out of the entrance before going on with his clerking job. It was quite uneventful, to say at the least. But Makoto thinks he pretty much enjoy doing this.

And hours of his shift went on until the last customer went out and Arata put on the closing sign. "Today sure is a busy day, huh?" The young man said with a laugh, "You're working hard recently, Makoto-kun. Why not trying to take a break or two sometimes? You're still young so why not trying to enjoy while it last?"

"I'm fine, Arata-san." Makoto said with a smile, before taking off his cap and turning his face away on something else, "I guessed so." He muttered quietly.

It was 8:30 PM already and Makoto hasn't had dinner yet. Bidding farewell to his manager, he was thinking of stopping by the cafe shop to get some cake but then remembering that it's passed 8:00 PM already. Maybe he's gone home by now. So he just stopped by a supermarket near his apartment to buy a packed-bento and some ingredients to make lunch for tomorrow. Only moments when he's not surrounded by people like these did he realize how lonely he was.

Finally making it back home, he sighed as he took out his phone and checked if there's any messages or any news on Twitter. Well, aside from a couple of pictures of Chitose and her boyfriend hanging out, nothing much was there. Though sociable as he looked, besides Chitose and some other boys in his volleyball team, he isn't particularly close with anyone. Now looking at his image folder, he still has like hundreds of selfies he'd taken with his ex. And for obvious reason, he couldn't bring himself to delete them.

Finishing with his dinner, Makoto got changing to his casual clothes and went on making a Hinomaru-styled bento. It was nice making meals for himself rather than just buying fast-food like many teenagers who live independently nowadays. Even still now, he misses the feeling of having someone to cooked for. Being praised for his food is the most satisfying feeling ever.

When he's finished, he covered his box and put it into the refrigerator. Makoto flopped himself on his bed and took the manga he's just bought out to read. Then falling asleep without knowing it.

For once, he did give it a thought on how would it be if he was to falling in love again.

Hinata was exhausted by the time he got home, and hardly had the energy to finish his homework. However, he once again found himself unable to fall asleep, and once again found himself drawing yet another portrait of Makoto. This time he was in the same work uniform he'd been wearing earlier that evening. Hina stared at the picture for a couple of seconds before tucking it into his sketchbook with the others. His dreams that night were tame but still tugged at his heartstrings. In the morning, Hinata felt as if sleep had barely come, and made his way to school with the slightest feeling of dread. XXX
Once he got to school, the feeling of dread was shoved to the back of his mind and replaced with the bright, cheerful smile he always wore. He wasn't really the type of person who felt comfortable hiding his feelings, but he didn't see the point in acting sad if he wasn't going to explain it to those who became concerned. After all, no one would believe him if he told them the exact reason why he found tears on his pillow every morning and why Makoto's face was in just about every drawing he'd ever made. They'd just see him as someone with an imagination or as a lunatic, so why not just be the person they'll like instead? Definitely seemed like an easier alternative. Hinata waved to a couple of his classmates and joined their conversation. XXX
As he passed by Makoto's classroom, his eyes fell on the brunette, who was staring out the window while Chitose chatted to him about who-knows-what. Hinata stopped for a moment and watched the boy, good and bad memories jumbling together in his brain and causing his happy expression to break, if but for a few seconds. He turned back to the group when someone called for him, and the smile returned, seemingly untouched as they walked to class. XX
Hina was grateful when lunch came, and headed to his usual spot by the vending machine, making sure not to drop his sketchbook this time. Once there, he sat down on the grass with his back leaning against the metal of the machine, sketchbook resting on his knees while he thought of what to draw. Of course, as with nearly all his drawings, he decided on Makoto. And so he sat there, his expression cold and distant, silently drawing the love of his life. XX

Do you want to timeskip a couple weeks ahead? I feel like Hina's pretty bold and would've probably asked Makko out already, had he not been so skeptical about the guy having just recently broken up with his ex-lover. A small timeskip would give Makko time to learn more about Hina and for them to get used to each other more (and it would also put us closer to Winter - and therefore, to Christmas! Because Christmas & snow is great for romance. XX
Uweh, I made it so sad and deep all of the sudden, what the heck! Hina! Come on man, the love of your life is in the class next door, go get him you butt!

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

And so, the night passed quietly as dawn was fast approaching, indicating that another new day is about to come. Sometimes, Makoto could feel that it was indeed a little bored now that there's nothing for him to do. The fact that happy memories and all those hardships he once had to gone through in his childhood somehow blended together and haunted him in his dreams couldn't help it either. If only he could be more willing to let go.

Today, Makoto woken up even sooner than his alarm clock. When he looked at the clock, it was only 6:30 AM, half an hour sooner than the usual time he had to get up. He tried to went back to sleep, but the morning light didn't seem to allow him. Sighing, he sat up on his bed while stretching up his arms. It would be much nicer if there's someone waking me up everyday... He sheepishly thought. How could he ever forgotten that there's a whole lot of times when he and his ex used to wake up together (which half of them are both of them completely undressed).

Getting off his bed and do anything he was supposed to do everyday, Makoto then headed to school. He didn't happen to bump into anyone except for Chitose. It was nice that his best girl always there for him though. There are times he did think that if he wasn't gay and she didn't have a boyfriend yet, both of them might very well go out. It isn't a complete horrible idea since their classmates did comment that they'll make a beautiful couple.

Sitting in his desk while finishing with any homework he got left, the morning lessons soon began. Hours passed quietly and he pretty much focused in what he was studying. For some reasons, Hinata popped up in his mind for times. The guy seemed to be a little eccentric and all, but he's a nice guy and it doesn't seem like the way he cared for him was ingenuine. Someone like him probably had a lover already and perhaps they probably are getting closer, despite only having meet a couple of days ago.

Makoto and Chitose enjoyed their bento together in the lunch break while chatting about all sorts of stuff. There's never seemed to be a shortage of topics to speak. The following afternoon lessons also went on without any fuss and Makoto didn't meet Hinata today, except when they met their eyes a couple of time during the Music class.

However, when he's on his way home today, he happened to cross path with some unexpected people...

"Ara, isn't this Makoto-kun?" Some delinquent-liked guys went up to him and blocked his way while taunting, "Still giddly-widdly, I see."

"What do you want?" Makoto replied as calm as he could. Those guys were one of those few troublemakers in his school, but they were expelled and apparently they couldn't managed to find anything good to do. They used to pick on him a lot when he first enrolled high school.

"Eh? Now you're becoming cocky." A guy whose face is covered with piercings stepped up and said while trying to be intimidating, "Looks like we needed to teach you a lesson again." He said while raising his arm and about to punch Makoto.

A timeskip sounds fine, girl. But before that, here's a chance for Hinata to shine xD

When the warning bell rang to signal lunch's end, Hinata quickly gathered his things and raced back to class, having been so focused on his drawings that he'd completely neglected the time. The next class passed in the same way as usual - with indecipherable notes covered in tiny pictures of Makoto - and then the bell rang once again. Instead of Gym that day, the two classes were to share a Music period, which Hinata was rather excited about. He ended up being seated directly next to Makoto, and while they didn't have much time to chat in between playing their instruments, their eyes did catch each other more than a few times. Hinata found himself feeling a bit disappointed as he headed back to his own class, though his smile showed nothing. XX
He was grateful when the last bell of the day rang, and gathered his things quickly before leaving the school. In a way, he liked the social interaction, but very little of it was with the person he wanted so desperately to converse with. Hinata disappeared into his thoughts the moment he was away from other students, his smile falling away to the bored expression he hated to show. He snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed Makoto ahead of him. XX
In that moment, Hinata's body acted entirely on reflex. He barely even thought about what he was doing as he reached out to block the punch, his hand stopping the guy's fist only inches away from his own face. With a twist of his wrist, Hinata sent the guy flying to the ground, glaring emotionlessly down at him. "It'd be much appreciated if you would pick fights with people who actually want to fight back." The guy only scoffed at him and left. Sighing lightly, Hina turned to Makoto and smiled. "I hope you don't think I'm stalking you, I'm being completely honest when I say I just happened to be nearby. But in any case, I'm glad you're alright." Hina couldn't help but stare at the smaller boy, and wanted so badly to hold him close, to be able to kiss him. XXX
Shoving the thoughts to the back of his head, Hinata gave Makoto a fake but convincing smile. "Well, see you tomorrow then~" He said, walking away. XX

I feel like Makoto would be able to tell when Hinata's smile is fake, even though they haven't been together for who-knows-how-long. 'Deja-vu', perhaps. XX
And eventually, Makko's gonna have to find out about his Angel self, though not too soon. Do you have any ideas on how to reveal it to him in a way that would actually be convincing, rather than making Hina seem like a total lunatic? Because I have a few, though they all involve lots of drama, ahaha.

Makoto watched as the guy was about to punch him. Of course, he wasn't intended to just stay still to get hit like that. Little did the delinquents standing in front of him know that he's gotten a lot better since they were expelled from his school. He didn't take a self-defense course just for show, after all. But then suddenly, a hand of someone appeared from nowhere and blocked the other guy's fist, which surprised Makoto.

"Hina-kun?" He asked the black-haired boy as he gave the other delinquents some taunts. The shady guys scoffed but realize that they were probably no match for Hinata, so they just turned their tails and went away. Hinata then turned to him and reassured him that he wasn't stalking him or anything and was glad that Makoto was fine. He tried to put up a smile, but Makoto knows how to read people, so he did see that it wasn't a genuine smile.

As Hinata said farewell and began to walk away. "Wait." Makoto called over to him, "...Thank you. I really mean it." He smiled brightly to the other boy.

And then, both of them parted ways as they went back to their places. While Makoto was taking a shower, he thought back on what has happened earlier that evening. Even though he's perfectly capable of taking care of the situation, Hinata did step up for him. It's been a while since anyone else rather than Chitose had helped him and protected him. Just thinking of it, somehow, he felt his heart lightened.

And so, when he stepped out of the bathroom, he gathered some of the baking ingredients leftovers in the shelves of his kitchen and began to bake.

The following day soon approached and Makoto set out for school like everyday, although it was different that he was carrying a box of sort inside a wrapped cloth. Of course, it gained the attention of Chitose and she couldn't help but asked her bestfriend whatever it was, though Makoto just telling that it was a secret, with blushes on his cheeks. School day went on normally and Makoto was busied with volleyball's team practice and club activities, so he didn't have a chance to meet Hinata yet.

When the school bell rang and every other student has left school, Makoto went to Hinata who was happened to be standing in front of the his shoes' locker. "Hey, Hina-kun." Makoto approached the black-haired boy, though it is clearly that he was flustered, as it has been a while since he did make something as a gift to somebody else, "Here, this is for you. These are some cupcakes that I baked last night. I didn't have a chance to give it to you until now." He showed the cloth-covered box to Hinata, "It's... a thank-you for yesterday. I hope you like it."

Seeing Makoto's smile made Hinata's heart flutter in his chest, and he smiled back, a genuine smile. He couldn't help but feel better knowing that he'd helped him in even a small way. Hina waved and headed off toward work. The hours passed quickly, with especially large rush hour crowds due to the return of the waitresses who'd been sick. Jintan bugged him about Makoto a few times but gave up after a while, leaving them both to do their jobs without distraction. When Hinata finally found time to himself, he was back in his silent apartment, with nothing to due but his homework and drawing. XX
The next day, Hinata went to school feeling tired due to a lack of sleep the previous night, having been occupied with nightmares about the war. Luckily, the first few classes passed without too much drama and lunch period could be spent in his favorite spot, drawing his favorite person, just like any other day. He wondered what Makoto had thought when he'd seen the massive amounts of portraits hidden away in Hinata's sketchbook. He hadn't opposed them, but did he like them? Do I actually care if he likes them or not? Hina looked at the detailed drawing in front of him and groaned inwardly. ...yes. XXX
He didn't actually have a chance to talk to Makoto at all until the brunette approached him after school, looking flustered and the smallest bit awkward. Hina listened to Makko's words and felt his face heat up. "You actually made cupcakes for me? That's amazing! Thank you so much~" Smiling brightly, Hinata reached out and gently stroked Makoto's hair, ignoring the different memories that were trying to destroy the moment. "And there's no need to thank me, I just give help where help is needed...anyways, you should stop by the cafe tonight. We just started making autumn-themed stuff, so there's going to be a lot of pumpkin-flavored cakes. And since you've been there so many times, the manager said you can get at least three slices for free!" XXX
Hinata bid Makoto farewell and left the school, walking to work extra carefully with a box of cupcakes in hand. He hadn't lied about the free cake and silently hoped the boy would come, if only so that he could talk to him a bit more. His whole day had gotten better simply from being in Makoto's presence for five minutes, and although they were greatly appreciated, it definitely wasn't the cupcakes that made Hinata so happy being near him.

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Makoto felt a little bit embarrassing right now. While it is true that they barely know each other for not very long, his kind-hearted side didn't let him to own debts. If someone has helped him, then he'll just repay them by any means possible. Chitose often commented that if he's too generous like that, someday he'll be taken advantage of. But he didn't mind. Besides, it's been a while since he actually cooked or baked for anyone, so it was a bit awkward. He's still a guy, after all.

But then, seeing Hinata's bright smile really did make his heart felt warm, and although he did twitch a bit when Hinata stroke his hair gently, he stand still to let him do so. "I-It's nothing really, I like cooking and baking myself so... I'm glad you like it." He said with yet another smile. The black-haired boy then went on saying that there are free cupcakes at the maid cafe shop where he was working, since Makoto is a frequent guest. "If that so then I guess I'll stop by then. I'll see you there."

And so, they both parted ways. Makoto went back to his club's room to finish with any other jobs given to him, before packing up and made his way out of school. For the first time in three months, his heart is free from the burden that has weighed him down. He still got his life to live, right? Perhaps... moving on wasn't a bad idea at all.

True to his words, Makoto did stop by the cafe shop on the way back to his apartment. It wasn't rush hour so there's only a couple of customers sitting around. Of course, the first person he could noticed was Hinata, who was standing near the stair. "Hey, I'm here." He greeted.

After taking the cupcakes, Makoto stopped to chat with Hinata a little bit, asking him since when did he work here, how things going and whether if those molesters like the other day are still at large. But realizing that more and more customers are pouring in, he bid farewell to his friend and exited the cafe, with a smile that he hasn't been able to put up since three months ago.

As he walked his way back, the sun dyed the whole scenery in red.

The school's mid-autumn festival is almost here, and it seemed that every class around school is busying in preparation for the big event. Makoto has always enjoyed it and this is going to be memorable, as there's only half a year later and he'll graduate from high school already, so he has to treasure every moment.

Makoto's class opened a maid-cafe last year and he couldn't forgot how embarrassing he was because the girls made him to dress in maid clothes. Luckily that this year they're changing their idea and instead opened a traditional-styled restaurant, along with other activities.

But besides that, Makoto also has to perform a song with Chitose at the closing show of the festival. And they've just finished practicing hard in the music room.

With the approach of the autumn festival, the entire school was in an uproar, and Hinata found himself with almost no time to himself. Every minute he wasn't in class or at work, he was helping his classmates prepare. They'd decided to go for the cliche Maid Cafe theme, and apparently one of his female classmates had found out about his part-time job and insisted he act as a waiter. Hinata didn't even try to refuse, he already knew they wouldn't take no for an answer. And so, he ended up as part of a big plan to bring in 'customers' with his apparent charm and good looks, of course without his wanting to. XX
Despite being constantly busy, Hinata was still able to see Makoto every day. The boy had come to the cafe several more times and each time was able to chat with Hina quite a bit, which was nice since they were hardly able to say even a single sentence to each other during school hours due to all the chaos. And whenever they spoke, Hinata learned more about Makoto. Many things were the same as before: he still loved the piano, and still had a major sweet tooth. However, some were new, like how he was amazing at volleyball, and jumpy, and horrible at mathematics. Every time Hina learned something new about Makoto he loved him even more, and while Hina was never too flirty in public, the fact he was in love with him wasn't unknown. XXX
Most of the cafe's staff knew about Hinata's infatuation with Makoto, and he was constantly being teased with questions like 'when are you going to ask him out' or 'isn't he dating someone already'. In truth, Hina hated it, but at least it was them finding out rather than everyone at school. When he was at school, Hina was already considered the most popular male, despite having only transferred two weeks prior. He was glad that everyone was busy with festival preparations, otherwise he likely never would've gotten a break from girls wanting his number and guys wanting to know how to 'pick up girls'. XX
Hinata didn't know anything about the other classes' projects until the day before the festival itself, when everyone was nearly finished and finally allowed time to do things other than prepare. Makoto's class had popped up in a conversation between him and a couple of classmates, and Hinata was both surprised and intrigued when he heard about a performance. No one knew what it would be exactly, only that 'the beautiful Chi-chan and her friend' would be conducting it. As the group passed by Makoto's class, Hina took the time to wave to Chitose and Makoto, giving them a smile before returning to his friends and the conversation at hand. He spent the walk to work trying to envision what type of captivating performance the two would put on. XXX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

"...一つの命真夏の光, 貴方の肩に揺れてた木漏れ日." Chitose raises her voice and echoed at the last note, synchronized harmoniously with the piano playing of her best friend. Makoto then went on playing the last notes of the sheet and completed their duet in the most professional way possible. They've been practicing this song for weeks before the festival already and Makoto was confident that he could play as well as Joe Hisaishi did. If they can performed as well as they did when they're practicing, surely they'll won the heart of the audience tomorrow.

As the song finished, Makoto moved his hands away from the piano and stretched before cracking his knuckles. "We've been practicing real hard, aren't we?" He turned to his best friend and said, in which she smiled cheerfully.

"We sure did. It's not like we're doing this for the first time so no hard feelings, right?" Chitose replied. True to her words, both of them usually performs in shows and events that took place in their school ever since they enroll. They make quite a duet couple with Makoto playing the piano while Chitose is the vocalist. Though Makoto just humbly denied that he only plays piano for fun, his classmates sometimes commented that there's an irresistible charisma that emitted from him whenever he played the instrument. There's only a year left for them to show what they've got so they really have to tried their best.

Exiting the music room, both of them then headed back to their classroom, because the representative is probably having something that needed them to do. On the alley and the campus, it was bustling with students from all classes of the school. Stalls are being set up, decorations are being hung up, this sure is the atmosphere of a festival approaching. When they're in their class, they could see that most of the decorations are done, as their class now looked pretty much like a traditional cafe shop.

While helping his classmates with any other stuffs that still left over, Makoto noticed that Hinata was happened to passing by and waved to him and Chitose, in which he waved back with a smile. They certainly has gotten a lot closer and shared a lot of things with each other. Well, it was Chitose who set up the situations when they bumped into each other, but Makoto was yet to realized his best friend's intention of doing so. They were able to talk and smile casually with each other now and, for some reasons, his ex lover didn't weigh his mind as heavy as before.

And so, the day before the grand festival soon ended, as everyone is filled with an excited spirit.

The following day, Makoto woke up earlier than usual and made his way to school, because he was tasked with preparing the drinks and other stuffs. Dressing in a yukata is a lot more comfortable than in a maid clothes, and he was pretty grateful for that. They opened the shop and looks like it was quite popular since many students have stopped by in the first 30 minutes already.

After 3 hours of never-ending services, Makoto and Chitose finally gotten a break, so they decided to go around the festival to enjoy themselves. Well, Chitose was really a curious girl after all so she dragged her best friend to all different stalls and classes. They haven't had breakfast so they eaten up a lot when going around.

Then, they stopped at the maid cafe of the class next to their. It seemed that Hinata was tasked to stand at the front to attract customers, and it was really effective, according to what Makoto could see.

"Well, hello. Looks like you're doing an extra job, eh?" Chitose said to the black-haired boy. "Too bad. I've brought Mako-chan over here for you but it seemed you were quite busy, hehe." She teased a little.

"Chii-chan." Makoto scoffed to his best friend before turning to Hinata, "Well... yeah, I've stopped by like I promised. I never thought I'd see you as a waiter outside that café. So... work well then." He turned his face away and scratched, "Be sure to come by the show this afternoon to see our performance." He smiled brightly and they entered the maid café. Two girls dressed in maid clothes welcomed them, "Ojousama, Obocchama, welcome home."

It's been a while since he's capable of having fun like this.

I think I'm having idea for another RP, but I didn't know how to put it into reality :(
Somehow I've been dying to RP something which included more tragedy in it LOL
BTW, can I borrow your CS?

Hinata was the slightest bit confused when his classmates tasked him with standing outside the classroom and giving out chocolates to the passers-by, though he offered no refusal to the idea. Apparently they'd decided on using his 'charm and good looks' to bring in female students, and unsurprisingly, it was working. Their Maid Cafe was already crowded and was definitely a possible choice when it came to choosing which class had been most successful during the festival. Still, Hina found himself bored rather quickly, having to stand still and smile at everyone who walked by. It wasn't all that much fun. XX
Both his expression and his mood lit up when Hinata turned to find Makoto and Chitose standing next to him. Chitose teased him playfully and he actually did regret the fact that he wouldn't be able to serve the two himself, especially after Makoto spoke to him and wished him well. He grew excited when mention of his friends' performance came up. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to be there no matter what~" And with that, the two disappeared inside. XX
"Hideki-san." Turning his head, Hinata found that one of his classmates was daintily climbing out the hall window, whispering to him with a smirk. "You look rather forlorn about being stuck out here while your friends are inside, so we'll switch jobs for a bit~" Hinata bowed in thanks and rushed into the 'cafe', walking up to Makoto and Chitose's table with a bright (and possibly seductive) smile. "Ojousama, Obochama, what may I aid you with today?" Unlike when he was at his real-life job, Hinata was in a full-out 'butler' act, words spoken in a way that was very obviously meant to swoon. XX
After Chitose and Makoto left, Hinata went back to luring in customers, and was absolutely exhausted by the time his classmates told him he could leave to observe the festival. Rather than look at the vendors or at the other classes, Hina headed straight for the auditorium, eager to see his friends' show. XX

My parents came home from their trip last night so I was preoccupied with catching them up on crud, but I am back now!

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

After Makoto and Chitose found a seat in the crowded class, they were quite amazed by how many customers there were presented in the 'maid café' of this class. They might even surpassed their class last year. Well, Makoto can clearly understand the reason why. Hinata was such a women-magnet after all and that's an advantage that all good-looking guys have in their hands, apparently.

Makoto called for some mocha coffee while Chitose ordered a warm, salted lemon tea so that she can clear her throat before the show. It should begin sometimes around 30 minutes later, but their performance is somewhere in the middle of the show so they can take it easy and keep themselves going while waiting. Chitose practiced raising her voice by singing some of the notes while asking her best friend to see if it was okay.

They both chatted while waiting for their drinks to come out and it seemed that their performance was quite anticipated, as there were quite a few other students coming across their table and tell them that they're really looking forward to see how they would perform. "We certainly are quite popular, aren't we?" Chitose chuckled in which Makoto replied with a smile, "Tell me about it."

A couple of minutes later, their drinks were served, and the waiter was Hinata, surprisingly. The black-haired boy then asked if they needed anything else, in a rather flirtatious manner. Well, Makoto thinks he probably had gotten used to it after so many times the guy did it when they're alone, so he just nodded in return. "Thank you, Hina-kun." He smiled back brightly, without noticing his best friend mischievous chuckle.

And so, they sat while enjoying their drinks and talking about all sorts of things like they always did. When they've finished drinking is also the time when the show started and they should made their way to the school's hall to prepare. Makoto waved to Hinata as he and his best friend walked their way out of the building and to the backstage of the hall. The first performance has just begun and it seemed that there were a lot of spectators, as if half of the school has gathered to enjoy the show.

Looking at the amount of people, Makoto couldn't help but feeling a little bit nervous. But he knows he can do this well. Their class vice-representative was there to provided them with the clothes they'll be wearing. So, they went to the dressing room and got changed quick. It seemed that the theme was white, as Makoto's clothes were white shirt and white long trousers, while Chitose also wears a long white dress that flows below her knees, with a lily brooch on her hair.

As they watched the performances of other students, they patiently waited until it was their turn. As the solo violin performance before them finished, the girl who performed bow to the audience and making her way to the backstage. "Chitose-chan, Makoto-kun. It's your turn next, good luck." The supervisor said to them with a thumb-up. Both of them nodded to each other and high-fived before walking up to the stage.

Both of them then walked to the center of the stage with an elegant aura that makes everyone stopped chattering. After bowing to the audience, Makoto sat down at the piano while Chitose was standing near him. She held up the mic and began her speech. "Minna-san, thank you for having come to our school's mid-autumn festival. I'm hoping that you all are having a good time. But it's important that each of us should know how to slow it down a bit, and enjoy the tranquility of life. That is why today, I, Chitose Kirishima, and my best friend, Makoto Kazekiri, will perform the song 'Inochi no Namae'."

When Chitose's finished, all lights turned off and the spotlight were turned to them. Makoto then began to play the intro notes of the song, before Chitose started singing.

"青空に線を引く

飛行機曇の白さは

ずっとどこまでもずっと続いてく

明日を知ってたみたい

胸で浅く息をしてた

熱い頬さました風もおぼえてる..."

They both worked in a harmonious way and captivated the hearts of the audience, as everyone couldn't keep their ways away from them. Chitose was singing beautifully while Makoto complimented it with his playing. It wasn't Chitose who was the center of the performance alone, as both of them shines and shows their own unique charms.

"...未来の前にすくむ手足は

静かな声にほどかれて

叫びたいほど懐かしいのは

一つの命真夏の光

貴方の肩に揺れてた木漏れ日..."

And so, for the rest of the song, they both concentrated to nothing else, as if the whole world has stopped, just to listening to how they play. As Makoto brings the melody to its' end, the whole audience stayed silent for a short moment, before applauses and cheers boomed throughout the hall.

Hinata was surprised to find that the auditorium was filled to the brim with people, very few of which were students, since most of the school was busy tending their class projects and stands. He was also taken aback slightly when Makoto appeared on stage, dressed in white and looking more angelic than Hinata had ever seen him before. As the song began, all other sounds were drowned out, his ears focusing only on the music from the piano. Even Chitose's beautiful singing disappeared in the midst of the twinkling piano keys, and Hina felt his heart skip a beat from seeing Makoto in such a setting. XX
As the performance came to an end, Hinata found himself lost in his own world, piano songs from far in the past echoing in his mind and drowning out the sound of the applause. Hina stared up at Makoto, standing so brightly on the stage, and before he could stop himself, tears were rolling down his cheeks. Wiping his face with his sleeve, Hinata hurried through the crowd and out of the auditorium, hoping neither Makko or Chitose had noticed him crying. He didn't want to ruin their moment of glory by worrying them. Sighing lightly, Hina hid in an empty part of the courtyard, away from prying eyes. XX
Why the hell am I crying right now? Settling underneath a shady tree, he silently wondered why the music had triggered such a reaction. Is it because he used to only play for me? Its not like he even remembers that...or maybe its because he doesn't remember... Thinking of how Makoto didn't remember anything about their time together prompted the tears to fall again, and Hina tried not to be loud. Drawing attention to himself would make it all worse. XX

I can play half of that song on the piano! And its only so 'deep' because music is really important to me, so it got a bit more emotional than I'd originally intended. Also, do you think Makoto would regain his memories about being an angel, perhaps after their first kiss or something? I think it'd be real cute.

As the whole crowd gave the two of them the loudest applause ever, Makoto and Chitose then stood together and bowed to the audience again to show their gratitude. As both of them quickly made their ways to the backstage, Makoto couldn't helped but sigh in relief before smiling brightly to Chitose, "Wow, I'd never thought that they would be cheering so enthusiastic like that."

The other students who were standing there also congratulated them for their successful performance, in which Makoto has never felt happier. He really likes being praised after all and it was cool that people did anticipate for him and his best friend. During their performance, Makoto felt as if the whole show was just for them. It was worth practicing hard after all. He thought to himself.

Both of them stayed and watch a couple of other performances of their classmates before went and changed back to their earlier clothes. It was quite late in the afternoon and the festival was coming to an end, as the sun was about to set and the whole space was covered in the orange. Makoto helped with the cafe at his shop until there was an announcement that the festival will end and every class have to clean up. When everything's done is also when it was getting dark.

"Hey, Mako-chan. Akira-kun is calling me over so I can't go with you to the yakiniku tonight. Really sorry though." Chitose clasped her hands in front Makoto and said.

He sighed then smiled it off, "Yeah, okay. I'll just go home then. Have fun. See you tomorrow."

Both of them then parted way and Chitose quickly ran to her boyfriend while Makoto just shrugged and made his way downstairs to the school's entrance. The other students are also on their ways home now as it seemed that most classes had finished with the cleaning up. Then, he saw Hinata stood by the entrance.

"Hey, Hina-kun." He called over to the black-haired boy to gain his attention, "Are you waiting for someone? Thanks for coming to see my performance in the afternoon, I saw you in the audience." It was funny that both of them can get to talk so casually now even though they've barely known each other for a little more than two weeks. Somehow he felt that it was comfortable staying in the presence of the other boy. "Do you want to go and have something for dinner? Chii-chan has gone dating with her guy already so I'm pretty free for now. What do you say? My treat."

That's cool, I wanna learn how to play too xD
Yeah, that would be really cute, I think :)
Say, what do you think if there's another descended angel appeared? Then there's going to be quite an interesting conversation between Hinata and them. I was thinking that maybe it could be Mako-chan's adoptive mother? :D

Once he had calmed down, Hina wiped away any evidence of his tears and headed back to his classroom, greeting his friends with a smile and returning to his job. The rest of the night passed quickly, probably due to the fact that Hina payed very little attention to his surroundings in the hours after Makoto's performance. Fortunately, his classmates were too busy to notice, and he gained no concern from them as they cleaned up the remains of their Maid Cafe. Hinata waved goodbye to them as he left and made his way to the front gate, standing there idly to watch the autumn leaves as they fell. XXX
Makoto's voice happened to catch him off guard and he jumped a bit, turning to smile brightly at brunette. "Ah, no, I'm not waiting for anyone. And I did very much enjoy your performance." Hinata was grateful that Makoto hadn't seen him crying in the crowd, and if he had, at least he wasn't mentioning it. "If you don't mind having me, I would love to go to dinner with you~" With a flirty smile, Hinata cheerfully started up a conversation as they walked. XXXX
"Um, Hideki-san?" Their walk was interrupted as a girl from Hina's class ran up to them, panting and holding his sketchbook in one hand. "I was told to give this to you." "Ah, thank you~" "I also wanted to ask if you're feeling alright. Someone came by the Cafe while you were gone and said that you were crying by yourself, and they didn't want to bother you by asking directly. If you're ever feeling upset, please just let us know." Hinata felt his face growing red as she spoke, and he gave her an awkward smile as she waved and ran off. Turning back to Makoto, Hina scratched the back of his head nervously and changed the subject, hoping he could avoid the topic if possible. It could possibly ruin their 'almost date'. XX
Hinata was polite and allowed Makoto to choose where they ate, especially since he was paying, and the two chatted about a wide variety of things over the next hour or so. Since he didn't have to work that day, Hina was glad that he'd gotten to spend the evening with someone else instead of by himself. XX

Okay, we definitely have a telepathic connection, because I was also thinking about having another Angel appear! The mother sounds like a good idea. What I had in mind was a more 'dark' Angel, someone who's obsessed with Hina and causes a lot of trouble for poor Makko. Maybe we can do both ideas!

Makoto listened to Hinata's reply to his request and he couldn't be happier when the black-haired guy agreed. Well, he doesn't want to spend the whole night alone all by himself either. And someone like Hinata might have other plans after the festival already, so he didn't think that he would agree, but glad that he did. Though Makoto could never have completely gotten used to the way Hideki flirting him, but it wasn't so bad.

"Alright then, I know this amazingly delicious ramen shop near my apartment so let's go there. I'm really hungry ~" He said cheerfully as both of them began to walk their way to the ramen shop which Makoto spoken of. On their ways, they exchanged conversations and it seemed that they've gotten to know each other better, even though they've only talking about some silly stuffs.

But just as they were strolling, a girl who was a classmate of Hinata caught up with him to give him his sketchbook while saying something that Makoto didn't hear very clearly. When the girl bid goodbye and Hinata went back to Makoto, he couldn't help but wondering why the guy scratching his head in a rather nervous fashion, but just shrug it off, figuring that the black-haired guy doesn't want to share.

The walk to the ramen shop was quite short, and they were welcomed with an amazing smell from the inside of the shop. Makoto felt as if his stomach is already grumbling. Walking inside the shop, both of them then taken a seat at the counter and in front of them were four boiling broth pots. "Two large tonkotsu, please." He picked from the menu. While they were waiting, both of them chatted about almost every stuff they could think of. Makoto was surprised that Hideki somehow knew a lot about him, even though he's never told him before. And the only explanation he could think of was that perhaps Chitose had told him.

When the bowls of ramen were served, Makoto took a pair of chopsticks and clasped his hand, "Itadakimasu." He said and began to dig in. He was hungry to begin with so it suddenly become the best dish in the world. "A bowl of ramen in a lonely night can always cheer you up, don't you think?" He said while smiling innocently. And so, they went on enjoying their dinner for an hour or so. When they've finished, Makoto paid for the food as he promised.

They both walked together until they've reached Makoto's complex, but before that, he turned to Hinata and said, "Hey, Hina-kun. Tomorrow is Sunday so do you want to come over, if you're not busy? We can do something together and I didn't think I should borrow Chii-chan from her guy too much. What do you say?"

Since their homes were in the same direction, Hina ended up walking Makoto home, partly to prevent what had happened with the group of boys a few weeks before and partly out of his own desire to spend as much time with Makoto as he possibly could. Hina pondered over what to say, and found himself feeling somewhat surprised when he was invited to come over the next day, though he definitely wasn't one to refuse such an offer. "I would love to! I don't work tomorrow until five and I don't have anything else to do, so its actually a relief that you asked. I probably would have spent the entire day sleeping if you hadn't~" While it was likely he would've stayed in bed, Hinata figured he would have been dealing with his emotions instead. XX
Giving him a signature smile, Hina reached out to pet Makoto's hair as usual. "I'll see you tomorrow then. Good night, Makko~" And with that, he headed toward home, his smile falling the minute his back was turned. Why does the fact that he doesn't remember me hurt so much? Its not like I can do anything about it, so why is it bugging me all the time? Its pathetic... Hina rubbed his temple in frustration and tried to shove the dreary thoughts away. XX
The next morning, Hinata got up early to actually make himself breakfast, something he didn't usually do in the morning. Most days he either skipped breakfast or ate melon bread on the way to school, however, he knew he had plenty of time before he had to leave and figured he might as well make use of it. After finishing his meal and cleaning the kitchen, Hina dumped out his school bag and replaced the textbooks with his sketchbook and art supplies, as well as his cell phone and a polaroid camera he'd bought at an antique store. He then left his apartment, heading straight toward Makoto's. XX
His complex was rather closeby, so it didn't take long for him to arrive. Hinata smiled wide as the door opened, bowing politely. "Good morning, Makko~" XX

Do you think Makoto would bring up past/current relationships in a conversation if he were curious? Hina refers to past-Makko as his 'ex-lover' so it might make an interesting chat between the two of them, especially if Makoto realizes how much Hina's 'lover' has in common with him. Just wondering!

Also, how do you think Makoto's mother would get involved/be exposed? Perhaps she calls to check up on Makoto, and he ends up talking about Hinata?

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

As they stopped by Makoto's complex, Hinata brightened up at the question immediately and, of course, he'd agreed that he would stop by his apartment tomorrow. Makoto couldn't help but let out a chuckly upon seeing it. He really wanted to find out more about this guy. "Great, I'll wait for you then. We can play something together if you like, I have a PS3 in my room."

Then, Hinata proceeded to patted him on the head like he usually did. Unlike the first time they met, Makoto had pretty much gotten used to it, so he didn't flinch away from the touch. As the black-haired boy wish him goodnight, he also smiled brightly in return, "Oyasumi, Hina-kun." And they waved to each other as they parted ways. That night, Makoto had slept quite soundly. He couldn't denied that he was happy.

Dawn quickly approaching and after sleeping in until 8:00 AM, he rises from his slumber. Doing some of his personal hygiene and ate breakfast, Makoto then made some orange juice and chips and waited until Hinata arrived. About half an hour later, Hinata arrived in front of his apartment's door. "Hi there, Hina-kun. Come on in." He said as he stepped aside to let Hinata in. As they sat down at the kotatsu table while snacking with the chips, they went on to talk about all sorts of things, from manga to other more personal stuffs. They were boys, after all, so it's not like they're shy or anything.

And then, it comes to the topic of their lovers. He was rather surprised because Hinata's ex-lover really did have a lot of things in common with him, which was a bit strange. "...I see. Well, about my ex. He's quite distant and cold when we first met, but when I got to know him more, he shows a completely different side. I was really happy, I think." Makoto still felt somewhat sad upon speaking about his ex again, but it didn't hit him as hard as it once was, "Well, to be honest, my first time was quite awesome even though I worried a lot before that, but it's been a while since the last time I did it, hehe..." He said while grinning like a dope.

Suddenly, the doorbell of his apartment rang. "I'll go see who it was." He then stood up and went to his door. But just as he opened the door, "Hi, may I help-"

"Ma-chann~~~" A middle-aged woman with brown hair tied as a ponytail hugged Makoto so tight that he was startled, "Oh, kaa-chan missed you so so much, give kaa-chan some whoozy-noozy." She said as she constantly nudging Makoto.

"M-Mom?! When did you come to Tokyo? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Makoto asked in utter surprise.

"I just want to surprise my little Ma-chan, was that too much of a problem." Risa said as she pouted, "Mii-kun is on his business trip again, I'm so so lonely that I wanna be with my little son ~" She then noticed that there were a pair of shoes in front of the door, "Ooh, you're having customer? Who would that be? Your lover? Ah ~ Ma-chan is really growing up ~"

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore." He blushed and yelled as he pushed his mom away, "Anyway, just get in first. You're embarrassing me."

And so, Makoto went back to Hinata, with his mom waltzing behind with her luggage, "So, er, yeah. Hina-kun, this is my mom. Mom, this is Hideki-kun, he's the boy in the next class." However, they suddenly exchanged a very ambiguous look with each other, which couldn't be stranger. "Uhm... you two know each other before?"

Risa quickly shook her head and put on her smile again, "No, it's nothing. Say, Ma-chan, mommy's hungry, can you go make me some omelette, pretty please ~" She looked at him and blinking furiously, which Makoto could only sighed at her childishness, "Fine. Please excuse me, Hina-kun."

Makoto then went into the kitchen to make his mother's omelette. Meanwhile, Risa was sitting at the kotatsu table, with her head leaned again her palm, "Ut caelum docebit vos.", she said in the language of angel, "I never thought that I would meet my kin here. It's really been a long while, Hinata-kun. And you didn't seem to change at all. So, you've managed to find Ma-chan too? How are things going between you two?"

(Translate: May the heaven guide you.)

Voila :D
So, she would have been Mako-chan's caretaker back in heaven too, but she descended to find her loved one like Hinata, although long before him :)

Hinata enjoyed talking to Makoto, and for more reasons than one. Together they could talk about anything and it wouldn't be too awkward, even when their ex-lovers came up in conversation. It seemed weird trying to talk to someone about themself without them realizing it, but Hina managed to make it seem as if he were speaking about a different person, though he doubted Makko was ignoring the many similarities between him and Hina's 'ex-lover'. XX
While Makoto spoke about his own ex-lover, Hinata couldn't help but feel a small pang to his heart in knowing that his love had both been with someone else and had been hurt by that person. He did let out a genuine laugh as the topic of sex came up, finding the way Makoto spoke of it to be rather entertaining. The ringing of the doorbell interrupted their chatter and Hinata turned to his sketchbook as his friend answered the door, silently doodling another picture of Makko's smiling face. It wasn't as if he didn't have enough pictures of the boy already, his sketchbook was already far past half-full. XX
Tadashi chuckled to himself as he heard the conversation in the doorway, finding it funny how Makoto's mother was so blunt with him. However, the second he saw the woman, his expression turned to blatant confusion in recognizing her. Risa-san? She's his mom?! It seemed she recognized him as well, as she wasted no time in getting Makoto out of the room so they could talk without confusing him. Hina smiled to her awkwardly, confused himself. XX
He felt a small sense of comfort in simply hearing words from the language he'd left behind, and listened intently to what the woman had to say. Risa had been Makoto's caretaker ever since he could remember, and Hinata had always respected her, even more so now that she was Makoto's mother. He still didn't quite understand how that one made sense. Then again, Hina had been too wrapped up in grief then to notice anything going on around him. XX
"Oh, us? Well...we're not a couple or anything, if that's what you want to know. Just friends. What about you? You're his mother now, which is ironic..." XXX

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

"Well, that's easy to understand. He's just broken up with his ex and all. I know how much it can hurt for having your heart shattering like that, especially with a sensitive boy like him. But aren't you the one who usually make the first move?" Risa said with a sigh. She then blinked a couple of times upon hearing the boy's latter statement on how ironic it was for her to be Makoto's mother, in which she burst out laughing, "Did you really think that I gave birth to Ma-chan? Hinata-kun, you're still as simple as ever. Of course, I'm not his his maternal mother. I adopted him."

Then, although Risa's smile still presented, she began to retold what has happened with clear sadness, "Ma-chan's parents died in a car accident when he's only 10. He survived that crash, but it has always left a scar in his heart. Losing your flesh and blood is something that not anyone could easily accepted, especially for him." She turned her back and look towards the direction of the kitchen, before turning her attention back for Hinata, "Poor little Ma-chan must have had a rocky childhood with his new life as a human. He doesn't have any friends back at the orphanage and is usually bullied. He used to corner himself from everyone and never willing to open his heart. But it was thanks to the divine intervention that I've managed to find him."

She gazed on the ceiling, "It was devastating to know that both of my most loved ones have fallen in battle. And I've never stopped feeling in debt with Father for being so merciful and loving that he allowed me to descend from heaven. I've found Mii-kun, and after so many months searching for Ma-chan afterward, I also found him at that orphanage. He was crying and so fragile, like when I first met him when Father tasked me to become his caretaker. I've raised him like how I always did back in heaven. Being able to be with Mii-kun, and watch as Ma-chan grow up everyday, what more could I possibly asked?"

Then, Risa winked to Hinata in a mischievous manner, "So, now that he's single and all, are you going to make a move on him yet? That is what I believe." She straightened himself up, "But I would suggest that you shouldn't bring back the memories of his past life though. Like Mii-kun, Ma-chan is a human now. So just let him live and make memories of this life. You two are always meant for each other, wherever you are, and even in this life, you two can start all over again. Isn't it much better than bringing back what's now been buried deep in the past? I will try to make him fall into your arms again, so good luck."

"I'm back." Seconds later, Makoto returned to the kotatsu table with an omelette on top of rice dish. "You two are getting along well, huh? What have you been talking?" Placing the dish in front of his mother, he sat down and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, Ma-chan." Risa replied while having a mouthful of food, "You're still the best chef as ever." She grinned as she pinched his cheek.

And so, the chattering between the three of them went on, full of laughter and joy.

Hinata listened intently to every word Risa said, his interest peaking when she explained how Makoto was adopted. In hearing about his friend's family and all he'd been through, Hina's expression grew softer in sympathy, knowing full well how much it hurts to lose someone you love. Even with a new life, it seems we can't escape pain and tragedy. He laughed lightly as Risa encouraged him to make a move on Makko, which he found odd for a parent. XX
' You shouldn't bring back the memories of his past life.' The words reverberated in Hina's head like an endless echo, and he looked up at Risa with a pained expression, knowing she was right but not wanting to admit it. One part of him wanted Makoto to never see anything from the past, to forget about the war and his death forever; yet another part of him wanted wanted their memories together to be returned, so everything could be the same. XX
"Well, its not like I've ever really wanted to tell him he's died before, so it shouldn't be that hard to keep all of this past-life business a secret from him."
XX
Hinata put on his brightest smile when Makoto returned, and engaged in a new conversation as if nothing had been said. Risa said nothing more on the subject and they proved to get along quite well with one another, conversing as if they'd known each other for a hundred years, which was more or less true. The three of them joked around and chatted for the next couple of hours without interruption, until Hinata's cell phone went off from inside his bag. XX
"Aw...it looks like a bunch of our waitresses called in sick again, so I have to go to work tonight in order to make up for the loss. Sorry, Makko." Hina smiled apologetically and gathered his things. "If you two haven't eaten dinner yet, then you should come on over tonight. You come so often that my boss is actually considering giving you a permanent discount!" With another bright smile, Hina bid the two goodbye and headed to work, distracted by his thoughts as he ran there through the dark. After all, there was a lot to think about, especially when it came to the matter of his love's lost memories. XX

The three of them went on talking with each other for a couple of hours later. Moments like this really did bring back memories back when they're still angels, at least for Risa and Hinata. And it's been quite some while that Makoto was able to talk so freely and casually with the people he feels the most comfortable hanging around. Saying that he was finally able to move on wasn't wrong either.

Hinata then excused himself because he had to work at the café shop, due to the absence of some of the maids today. Before he gone, he offered that they stopped by for dinner, and that Makoto was almost given a permanent discount due to his frequent stopping by. "Well, I think I wanna hang out with my mom today, but thanks for the offer, Hina-kun. Have fun working. Please send Kiyoko-san my thanks." Makoto said while waving to Hinata as he stepped out of the apartment.

Risa watched silently with a smile, when Hinata has left, she jumped over and hugged Makoto again, "Awww ~ Ma-chan~~"

"Mom...!" Makoto yelled as he felt his mother's weight on top of him. Sometimes she can be a bit hyperactive. "Are you hungry ~? Do you want kaa-chan to make you dinner ~? Repaying for your super delicious omelette of course."

And so, while Risa waltzing in the kitchen to make dinner for both of them, Makoto went on to whatever he needed to for tomorrow at school.

The rest of the day went on peacefully, just like that.

The rest of the evening passed rather quickly, especially since Hina was distracted by both the massive crowds and his own pestering thoughts. That night, he dreamed of the war for the fourth time since he'd arrived on Earth, and woke up with sweat and tears making his pillow uncomfortably damp. XX
Hinata made it to class just as the bell rang, leaving him no time to greet Makoto and Chitose before the day began. As usual, the next four classes were spent staring out the window or doodling, and soon enough it was time for lunch. Over the last two weeks, Hina had been spending his lunch periods either eating with his two best friends or hiding by the vending machine when the two weren't available. Today, he headed into the classroom next door. XX
His excited grin faded into pure confusion as he opened the door, his gaze falling onto a familiar head of magenta colored hair. The owner of such vibrant hair turned toward the doorway and her eyes caught his, though she didn't look half as surprised as he did. "...Yuzu?" Nodding, Yuzu turned back to the conversation she was having - with Makoto and Chitose, ironically (or not). Hina joined the three and joined the chat. When it was brought up, Hina rushed to find an explanation, claiming that Nekomata Yuzuki was a classmate from his previous school and a childhood friend. Yuzu backed him up. XX
It didn't take long before the lunch period was over, and Hina was forced to return to his own classroom, but not before managing to get Yuzu alone for a private conversation. Apparently, she too had been sent down from their home, though she neglected to explain why. The rest of the day was spent idly doodling Makoto and staring out the window, at least in Hinata's case. As the last bell rang, he left to meet his friends, only to find them waiting for him. XX

Well, it isn't as good as the original one was ~~I'm still sobbing~~ but here's my post! Sorry it took so damn long, I've been pretty busy lately with work and school, not to mention the whole 'RoleplayGateway-is-an-asshole-and-deleted-my-hard-work' shitstorm from yesterday...I spent about an hour sobbing...

Also, I didn't elaborate ~~at all, heh~~ on Yuzu's point of view and figured we could both speak for her, since she's in Makko and Chi's class anyway. Opinion?

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Dawn was fast approaching and the night had went on peacefully. With Risa's presence around, things had gotten a lot more lively and noisy. She really is someone who can lightened up the mood no matter when she goes to. Til midnight, Makoto's mother had made him played all sorts of game with him, from chess to video games. Sometimes he felt that it was a little hard to catch his breath, having such a lively mother. But he couldn't complain, because it's been a while since the last time he heard some laughter like this in his apartment.

When his alarm clock awoken him, the first thing in the morning he smells is something really delicious from the kitchen. Changing his clothes and did some personal hygiene quickly, he headed to the kitchen. And in front of him, a whole Japanese-traditional breakfast was served on the table.

"Ma-chan, you're awake?" Risa chimed and smiled as she saw her son, "Sit down, sit down."

Nodded happily to his mother, Makoto sat down at the table. Both of them then had quite a breakfast together. There's a couple of time Risa tried to feed her son as if he's still a toddler, which embarrassed him, but Makoto was grateful as he missed his mother's cooking for so long.

When Makoto stepped out of the door and about to make his way to school, Risa called over and run to him, giving him a bento she had made. "Here, Ma-chan. Have fun at school." She hugged her son tightly.

"I got it, I got it. Have fun then, mom. Love you." He smiled to her as he turned his back and made his way to school. On his way, as usual, Chitose caught up with him and both of them chatted as they strolled their way to school. Apparently she had a lot to say about her dates with her boyfriend during the day off, and Makoto did have a lot of things to tell too.

When the homeroom began, their head teacher walked in with a strange girl. She immediately gained the attention of everyone. As the teacher wrote her name - Yuzuki Nekomata, she introduced, "Okay, everyone. Today we have a new transfer student. From now on, Yuzuki Nekomata-san here will be your new classmate. I hope you will get along." The magenta-haired girl bowed to everyone, "Nekomata-san, please sit at the empty desk in the corner next to Kazekiri-kun."

And then, the morning lessons went on. Although Yuzuki did put off a rather distant aura of her, she shown herself to be an exceptional student and all the attentions were turned to her again, even Makoto. Soon enough, lunch break come. As Makoto and Chitose were having their lunch together, she stood up from her desk and stand across his. "So, you must be Kazekiri-kun. Since we're going to sit next to each other for now, I hope we can get along." She said with a light smile as she held out her hand to him.

Makoto nodded, unhesitatingly, "Sure, it's a pleasure, Nekomata-san." He shook hand with her. Moments later, Hinata appeared in front of the class and apparently he was surprised to see her. He even knows her name. "You two know each other?" Chitose asked. Hinata said that they were friends back in their old school, in which she agreed. But a sensitive person like Makoto would realize soon enough that something was odd between them. He secretly wondered if there's more going on between them, but then shrugged it off, as he's not the one to peek his nose into others' business.

Yeah, it's fine girl, the site can be a real jerk sometime xD
And I'm looking forward to see how things would twist and turn from now on :D

Stepping out of his classroom, Hina found Makoto, Chitose, and Yuzuki waiting for him in the hallway. A conversation was sparked the second he joined them and the four made their way down the stairs while chatting excitedly about different topics. When they made it to the first floor, the group split: Chitose running off to find her boyfriend, Yuzuki heading to the Music Club, Hina and Makoto heading towards the Gym. It had become a habit for Hinata to attend all of his friend's volleyball practices, if only to amire how much the boy loved it. He almost always ended up drawing Makoto during the hour. XX
As soon as the practice was over, Hinata waved goodbye to Makko and headed towards work. The weather had been growing steadily colder as the season shifted from early autumn to early winter. Warmer sweaters and coats were being used and some people even had scarves or gloves on, though had Hina neglected to wear anything other than his uniform blazer and a sand-colored sweater vest, neither of which shielded him from the cold breeze. XX
Fortunately, the cafe was nice and warm, filled with the familiar smells of coffee and buzzing with activity. Hina was thankful that the evening crowds had yet to swarm inside, and took his time in chatting with the customers who requested him. When the dinner rush did arrive, Hinata ended up with a rather noticeable bruise on his cheek after a particularly pissed-off man came in screaming at his girlfriend - ex-girlfriend, soon after - and refused to leave her alone. The police were called, as per usual, and both Hina and Jintan were thanked by the poor girl, who ended up with a new job at the cafe. XX
Hinata was grateful for the shift change, exhausted from the large crowd (even larger than usual) and still grumbling about his throbbing cheek. He hoped no one at school would think he'd gotten into a fight. It was more likely that his usual horde of 'fangirls' would coo over him, and the thought made Hina cringe inwardly. The only person he ever wanted to have cooing over him was Makko, and he rather doubted that such a thing would happen. XX
The next morning, Hinata left his apartment on time, only to find out that Yuzu lived on the floor below him. She joined him on his walk to school and the two collided with Makoto and Chitose as their paths crossed. Most of Hina's mornings went as such, though Yuzu's presence was a welcome changes to the three's usual routine. And so, the group split at the school to enter their respective rooms, and Hinata felt the slightest bit secluded in his own class. XX

Oh, believe me, I already have two dramatic scenes planned out for her and poor, poor Makko. Does Makoto get along well with swimming pools? And also, how long do you think it'll take for Makko to realize he's fallen for Hina? I was thinking that Yuzuki would probably use that against him somehow...

By the way, to make up for my lazy absence and slow reply, I made my post extra long. ~~I lied its long because I got carried away, but either idea works~~~

The afternoon lesson went on peacefully without much fuss. Well, the class sure has gotten a lot noisier with chatters about the new girl who'd just transferred into their class. Not only Yuzuki is pretty, she studies well in most subjects. It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that she totally steal the attention of that day. Well, it was nice meeting a new girl like her. But aside from Chitose and Makoto, she acts a bit cold towards the rest of the class. Some asked for her phone and email address while some invited her to go with them to the yakiniku. But she just replied in a rather unconcerned manner.

After the lessons had finished, Yuzuki walked with Makoto and Chitose down the first floor. When they caught up with Hinata, the spread into their own ways. Makoto had a practice session to day and, as usual, he puts his soul and all into it. He noticed that Hinata was drawing him again, but you could say that he doesn't feel so flustered about it like the first times. After the practice session, Makoto got change and headed to the convenience store, since he got to work that day. It was quite busy even though it's already late. He could only wonder what his mother was doing at home.

When he returned from his work, Makoto was greeted with embraces and kisses from his mom. "Aw ~ Ma-chan. Why are you so late? Mommy miss you so so much."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that already." He gently pushed her, "Something's smelling delicious, have you been cooking, mom?"

"I couldn't just leave you coming back from home with an empty stomach, could I?" Risa winked. Makoto then went to take a quick shower before joining his mom with the dinner. They had quite a conversation with each other while eating. Well, it's been months since they last stayed with each other like this so there are certainly a lot to say. And Risa knows that she still got two weeks to enjoy with her son until her husband return from his working trip.

"So, anything new today, Ma-chan?" She leaned her head on her palm and asked.

"We got a new transfer student today. She's pretty and she's good too. I think she's become totally popular. Her name is Yuzuki, by the way." Makoto said with a smile.

Risa blinked in surprise a couple of time upon hearing the name her son has just mentioned. "Is something wrong?" Makoto tilted his head and asked, in which she replied with a head shake.

And so, the day finally come to an end in peace. At least, for today...

Today seemed to be a particularly slow day, mostly due to a multitude of pop quizzes and two different instances where the teacher had to leave the classroom, resulting in rather chaotic study hall sessions. Hinata didn't pay much mind to his studies and instead focused on finishing one of his many Makoto sketches. Unfortunately, one of his classmates caught him in the act, igniting an annoying conversation that Hina was far too polite to ignore. XXX
When the teacher returned, the class was rightly scolded for being too boisterous and in turn everyone who didn't have a part-time job after school was told to stay behind and help with class cleanup, no matter whether they were on duty or not. The lesson resumed and about fifteen minutes later, the bell rang to signal the start of lunch. Hina gathered his bento and sketchbook and headed out the door, only to be stopped by two girls who practically demanded that he chat with them. It didn't take long for a small crowd to gather and Hinata found himself growing more uncomfortable by the minute. XX
Luckily enough, it seemed that his three classmates had chosen that exact moment to head for the cafeteria, Makoto waving to him with a smile. Hinata took the chance to shove his way through the crowd of girls and to his friend's side, happily ignoring the upset complaints behind him as he playfully ruffled Makko's hair and joined in on the conversation. Apparently Chi had gone on a date the night before and was more than happy to share the news. XX
Hina, Makko, Chi, and Yuzu settled down at a table in the cafeteria and continued their conversation, gradually moving onto other topics such as final exams and college choices. After all, once Christmas came, they would graduate Senior High. Hinata hadn't given much thought as to colleges or universities, and figured he could just go to whichever school Makoto chose. When the bell rang, no one was too excited to go class. It started to rain twenty minutes later and had escalated into a downpour by the time school was over, and unfortunate turn of events for anyone without an umbrella. XXX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

The next day soon approached and it seemed that there isn't much that's happening either. Going to school with Chitose, yawning constantly during Math lesson, having some quick gossips with his best friends, etc. Sometimes it feels there's not a care in the world, and it would be nice if life could just go on like this. But Makoto never knows whether tomorrow will be the same. But, it's better to focus in the present now, isn't it? He's finally being able to give up and move on, and he might just as well enjoy his life as it is now.

It seemed that Yuzuki was kinda attached to both him and Chitose as she asked to hang out with them a lot. Of course, as both of them are sociable individuals, they didn't mind it much. Lunch break soon came and they've decided to eat at the cafeteria, since Yuzuki didn't have her own bento. On their way, they tagged along Hinata, who'd just seemingly escaped from another crowd of fans, like everyday.

A lot of things popped up during their conversation as they had lunch together. And the afternoon lesson went on peacefully. Until a sudden downpour in the afternoon which turned out to be a disaster for anyone who didn't bring along their umbrellas. And Makoto was one of those. Luckily Chitose did bring along hers, so he can tag along. He knows he can always rely on his best friend.

Today, Risa asked Makoto to take her to where he usually hang out at, because "it's boring sitting at home in the rain." Well, how can he denied his carefree mom? So he took her to the maid café shop. Because it was raining, there isn't seemed to be many guests. Hinata was the one to greet them, as usual. When sitting at a table, Makoto excused himself and went to the WC, which left Risa and Hinata behind.

"Hinata-kun." She said to Hinata after having ordered her drink, "Is it true that Yuzuki-chan has descended?"

Hinata had always enjoyed the rain, so he had no problem in walking to work without and umbrella, despite the cold temperatures outside. Of course, he was soaked to the bone when he got there and ended up having to towel off in the bathroom before he could change into his uniform and get to work. There was about an hour in between the lunch and dinner crowds for Hina to enjoy, and fortunately, Makoto and Risa decided to visit during that time. XX
As he wrote down their order, Hinata nodded in answer to Risa's question, grinning happily. "Yes, that's true. She won't tell me any details, but I don't remember her ever being close to anyone in Heaven, so I wonder what her reason is for being here." Hina reluctantly ended the conversation in order to tend to his other customers, returning to Makoto and Risa every chance he got in order to chat more. Yuzuki came up in the conversation once more, and while Risa seemed to be a bit skeptical about the girl, Hinata and Makoto spoke about her as if she were the most interesting person they'd ever met. XXX
The rest of the evening passed slowly, and without any drama other than a drunk college student who came in to half-heartedly insult Hina and Jintan. He was escorted out and evidently passed out on the street outside, so an ambulance was called, no one even batting an eyelash. After all, such circumstances weren't uncommon at the cafe. By the time Hina's shift ended, Risa and Makko had long since left, so he and Jintan made their way home, stopping by the grocery store on the way. Their conversations were always very lively and random, which was something that helped them to get along. XX
A few days passed in much the same fashion - group lunches, volleyball practices, cafe visits - and suddenly, it was Friday. The weather was rainy and cold, just the way Hina liked it, and it was a good thing his bag was waterproof else it's contents would have been destroyed long ago. "Makko! Yuzu!" Hina hopped over to his two friends at the shoe lockers, grinning brightly. It seemed Chitose had left before them for one reason or another, and it was up to Hina to notice that neither Makoto nor Yuzuki had brought an umbrella. "Here. You can use my umbrella, since neither of you brought one today." XX
Hinata handed them his umbrella and smiled, playfully tousling Makoto's hair as he left, and headed to work. He arrived at the cafe once again soaked to the bone and shivering slightly. "Hideki, you should either buy and umbrella or remember to use one. You're going to catch a cold if you keep this up every day, and you're no use to anyone if you're bed-ridden. " Hinata chuckled quietly at his manager's words, and got to work. XXX

Right after I read the post I thought Risa's grey text was Makko's words, and I was so confused for the three seconds before I realized it wasn't, silly me.

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

Risa nodded in reply to Hinata's answer, "I'm just asking. You know how Yuzuki-chan used to be quite a troubling angel. But unlike back in Heaven where the watchful eyes of Father is still presented, you can never know whether she would be up to something." Then, she gave a shrug, "Well, if she hasn't done anything so far then I guess everything will be fine. Sometimes I did wonder if descending is a trend or not."

Moments later, Makoto returned and the drinks they ordered were brought to them soon enough. Going out with your mother to a maid cafe seemed weird enough, but it doesn't look like anyone was paying attention to that so he guessed it isn't something that he should concern. After hanging out at the cafe shop, Makoto took his mom to his favorite ramen shop and the arcade. Apparently she had just gone on a shopping spree in the morning, but she's still interested in finding out her son's usual hanging out places. And she was even more excited than Makoto himself.

Makoto didn't get a chance to spend time with his mom for months already so he was glad that he could tonight. Although most of the topics seemed to be about all of his embarrassing memories. And in everyone's eyes, it was hardly that they were mother and son, as Risa did look as if she's still in her early 20s, after all.

And so, a few days later passed quietly, without anything too excited going rather than just everyday routine.

School has finally finished and it looked as if they were greeted with yet another rain. Makoto didn't bring his umbrella with him and it seemed that he really had to get soaked today. It looks like Yuzuki also shares his fate, but she didn't seem to show any expression about it. Hinata soon catch up with them and offered to let them use his. "Eh? But didn't you have to work today? Is that really okay?" Makoto asked. He will actually feel bad if Hinata catches a cold or something, but apparently the black hair guy didn't mind. He ruffled Makoto's hair before leaving for his work.

"Well, Yuzuki-san, if you don't mind..." Makoto turned to his classmate.

"No, I won't. Let's get back before the rain got bigger." Yuzuki shook her head as both of them then began their journey back to their apartment.

On their ways, they exchanged some conversation with each other and Makoto was able to know a couple of things about her. It seemed that she's just moved here and now living in the same complex with Hinata. When they've reached Makoto's complex, Yuzuki said that she will return the umbrella for Hinata.

"Hey, Yuzuki-san. Since we're classmates now, if you have anything you need helps, just ask, okay?" Makoto said with a bright smile.

"You're a good person, Makoto-kun." She replied in a rather cold manner, "But if you don't want to be hurt one day, you'd better watch your back." She said with an ambiguous hint in her eyes.

He tilted his head at her statement and gave her a questioning look. "Umm, what do you mean?"

Yuzuki shook her head, "Nevermind, have a good night, Makoto-kun." She bid goodbye and continue to walk towards her complex

And thus, another day ended.

Really xD

Hinata spent his Saturday working overtime at the cafe, happy to get his mind off of final exams. The cafe wasn't open on Sundays, so Hina spent the day playing video games with Yuzu, Jintan, and his girlfriend Momo. It seemed Momo and Yuzu had become friends through their part-time job. Hinata considered inviting Makoto and Chitose, but Makoto was probably spending time with his mom, and he didn't have Chitose's cell number, so he didn't bother. After all, he would be able to see them first thing the next morning, so it wasn't as if waiting another twelve hours was going to hurt too much. XX
The next morning, he and Yuzu joked playfully as they made their way toward school, meeting up with Makko and Chi at their usual spot. Hinata noticed that one more than one occasion, Yuzuki managed to subtly - strikingly so - capture his attention whenever it was focused on Makoto. It seemed that Chitose had also noticed the actions, and the two exchanged a knowing glance before returning to whatever conversation was being carried out. Hinata split off from the group to go to his own class, waving goodbye to his friends and ruffling Makko's hair just like he always did, signature smile and all. XXX
When lunch period came, Hina gathered up his notes and bento, heading next door to study with his friends. Yuzu proved to be absolutely horrible in quite a few subjects, leaving her and Hina to be tutored by Makoto and Chitose. At one point, both Yuzu and Makko had to leave the classroom for whatever reason. Hinata took the opportunity to talk with Chi about Yuzuki's actions that morning. "Do you think she was doing it on purpose? She's never done that kind of thing before." Of course, I was always too occupied with Makko, so she couldn't have really caught my attention at all back then. XX
Hina and Chi spoke a little more about the fact, and when their friends returned, the study session continued until the bell rang. The earlier rain had suddenly turned into snow sometime throughout the day's classes, blanketing the courtyard in white. The second school was over, most of the students were crowding outside to enjoy the weather change. Hinata simply joined his friends, the four of them heading toward home together. Apparently the different sports clubs had been put on hold, the teams' leaders favoring the idea of their students using the time for studying instead of for practicing. XX
"What are your guys' plans for after we graduate? Have you decided if you want to go to college or not?" Yuzuki brought up the subject out of nowhere, and Hina shrugged at the question. "I honestly don't think college would have much merit, so I'll probably just make my job full-time instead of part-time. If I do end up going, though, I'll probably just pick whichever one you guys go to~" He grinned brightly and stuffed his hands in his pockets, listening to his companions' own responses to the question. All he really wanted was to be able to remain friends with Makoto. Nothing else mattered. XXX

Yay, snow! I wish it was still snowing where I live, instead we've been having a shit ton of rain (not that it's anything out of the ordinary here). I really need to get my post up for Tadashi but for some reason whenever I go to write it I can't think of anything! It's frustrating. Anyways, do you think Chitose would set Makko and Hina up on a date? I feel like she's the kind of friend who would convince them to go on a double-date with her and Akira... XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Another peaceful morning soon approached and it was apparent that nothing special in particular. Sometimes Makoto did wonder if this is what they would acknowledged as "the calm before the storm" or not. But he couldn't care less. As long as he still has his friend and his family besides him, what could possibly goes wrong? It's much easier to enjoy life now that he's given up the burden in his heart.

After having a nice breakfast with his mom and leaving his complex to go to school, he caught up with Chitose and they made their ways to school with all sorts of gossip on their ways as usual. And they tagged along Hinata and Yuzuki on the way. It's amazing on how they now seemed to be almost inseparable even though they'd got to know each other for not very long.

Lunch break soon came and Hinata appeared to join them, and it seemed that he had a few problems with his studying so Makoto and Chitose helped him with them. Yuzuki also joined them and they couldn't be more surprised finding out that she was rather horrible at the subjects Hinata was having problems with too. But before any of them could raise the question, a teacher asked Yuzuki and Makoto to help him out at the teachers' office so they went, leaving Chitose and Hinata in the class.

Chitose listened to Hinata's question then shook her head, "She definitely was doing it on purpose. During these periods, she answered the questions of the sensei before any of us does. I wonder why..."

The rest of the lessons went on without much fuss, and the four made their ways back to their apartments. Hinata raised the question of what they would be doing after graduation. "Well, I haven't made up my mind too. But I'm sure I'll figure out soon enough."

Yuzuki seemed unsatisfied with Makoto's answer, but shrugged anyways. "Well, I know that I don't have the intelligence or motivation for any fancy schools, so I'll probably end up at some local university or whatever." Apparently Chitose had her heart set on Tokyo University, since she wouldn't have to move in order to attend, and it made sense. Hinata took the moment to think about what it would like being an adult. Since he lived alone, all of his social interactions would be from work. Even now, he only had a select group of friends, and without having to see them every single day it wouldn't take much for the four of them to drift apart, which was the last thing he wanted. "It doesn't really matter what happens so long as we remain friends." XX
Chitose split off from the group at the intersection they usually met at, and Yuzuki headed to her part-time job in the opposite direction, which left Hina to walk Makko to his complex (he'd have to pass it to get to the cafe anyways). The two chatted just the same as every day. However, Hinata didn't tousle Makoto's hair like he usually did, instead pulling him into a gentle embrace before grinning widely and skipping off down the empty, grey street. XX
The next morning, Chitose and Yuzu had been requested for morning cleaning (if that's even a thing), once again leaving Makko and Hina to walk together. Not that they were complaining, since their conversations were a bit more lax when the girl's weren't around. "If we end up going to the same college, perhaps we should share an apartment or something. It'd be easier to split rent for one apartment, and it might be nice to have someone around all the time. I've always lived alone, so I don't know what it'd be like to share a living space. Must be fun." Hina's expression showed the slightest hint of sadness at that, and he would be lying if he said that he never got lonely, especially when he'd spent decades in the constant presence of someone else. XX
They arrived at their classes that moment, so nothing more was said on the subject. During the next hour or so, Hinata found himself nodding into a dreamland of memories of when he and Makoto had lived together. Their home was always changing, since they loved so many different types of houses, and sometimes they weren't even in a house, instead sleeping in a flower-filled field or in a tropical forest. That was one thing he missed from Heaven, the ability to change your surroundings with nothing more than a thought. He didn't wake until three classes had passed, and suddenly it was time for Gym. Hinata excitedly followed his classmates to the locker room, leaving them to pair with Makko the second he had finished changing clothes. XX

I honestly doubt that I got Makko's shift times even remotely correct (he works in the evening, right?) but this setup worked out better, so I just...yeah... ~~Pls forgive me~~ Also, I imagine that when the four of them split, here's the really shitty Paint diagram I made. For some reason I couldn't make the image any bigger so whether or not you can read the text on the image is completely unknown to me...all it says is which direction everyone went as they split.

Yuzuki then replied in a rather apathetic manner that she might probably just ended up in a local university or something. "That's not true, I think you have potentials. Ever university out there will do anything just to have you, I'm sure." Makoto turned to his classmate and reassured. And, Chitose said she wanted to enroll Tokyo University, but she didn't want to separate from Makoto so she'll give it more thoughts.

As the two girls headed to their own directions, Hinata accompanied Makoto to his complex before headed to work as usual. But unlike everyday when he gave him a ruffle on his head, Hinata gave him an embrace instead, which surprised Makoto. Watching as his friend walked away, somehow he felt that his heart was lightened, as a soft smile made it way on his face. He headed into his apartment, where he was greeted by his mom with her usual entrance like everyday. He got changed before headed to the convenient store.

The next morning came in a flash and because Yuzuki and Chitose had duty on that morning, Makoto and Hinata got a chance to walk together. On their way, Hinata expressed that he wanted to share an apartment together with him, should they went to college together. "Well, I don't really think I could find a better complex than mine out there, so it's going to be hard for me to move out." Makoto giggled, "But I don't think that sharing an apartment is a bad idea, especially if it was you."

Well, it's true. Makoto had always wondering how it would be if he were to share an apartment with someone else. He'd been living by himself ever since he arrived in Tokyo now. Back when he and his ex are still dating, he had hoped that both of them could find an apartment where they'll live for the rest of their lives. But it was short-lived, after all.

Today they have a P.E. period and, like always, Hinata was the first to offered to be his partner again. Not for long though, since after a little warm-up in the gym, they'll move to the pool - the place that he'd always tried to avoid in their school.

It's true that I didn't give it a thought :P
I will put it that he's working on Monday, Wednesday and Friday :D

Hinata could tell that Makoto was uneasy about going to the pool, though he didn't have a chance to ask why before a few friends from his class were dragging him away. The Gym teacher explained the rules for being near the pool and then ordered them all to run a lap around the track before swimming, claiming that the stretches weren't enough to 'prepare for pool activities' or something. Hinata wasn't listening, all of his focus on Makoto. XXX
Chitose and Hinata headed off with friends from their class, and Yuzuki grabbed at Makoto's arm, asking him to remain behind. Once everyone else was out of earshot, her usual calm smile grew sour. "It appears as if Hide's grown quite fond of you. He talks about you non-stop whenever we're together, and according to his friend Jintan, Hide also talks about you at work, whether you're there or not. Needless to say, I'm getting quite annoyed with it all." XX
Yuzu crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back against the school building, scowling at Makko with an expression that almost seemed disgusted by his presence. It was obvious any kindness she'd shown him before was just fake charity. "All I want to know is whether or not you feel the same way." XX
Meanwhile, Hinata and Chitose were leisurely jogging the track with their classmates, engaged in a conversation about swimming. Chi explained that Makoto was afraid of water, and Hina understood why he'd been so uneasy. "Where is he, anyways?" Looking behind, they realized that two members of their group were missing. "I think Yuzu wanted to talk to him or something. Maybe we should go and see if they're alright?" Chitose nodded in agreement, and the two broke off from the group, heading back towards the pool area. Though neither said so, they both had a bad feeling in their gut. XX

Oh gosh, did I forget to mention that it's now Winter?! Oh well, this just means our school is fancy enough to have an indoor one, haha! Problem solved! Also! The main idea for the scene is that Yuzu gets pissed off when Makoto answers her question with a 'yes', prompting her to push him into the pool...?

And Yuzuki calls Hinata 'Hide' instead of Hina, in case that was at all confusing.

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Swimming has never been something Makoto is okay with. It was a disorder from a trauma from his past that prevented him from being able to just even immerse himself in water, let alone trying to swim. Luckily the school had been generous enough to allow him not taking part in swimming section of whenever he had P.E., but he still was able to watch his classmates learning though. Just staying dry beside the pool is fine.

Getting changed into his swimming trunk, Makoto joined his friends at the pool outside the gym. Chitose, Hinata and their classmates were told to run some laps to warm up before jumping into the pool. Makoto was about to catch up with them, before Yuzuki hold him back by his arm. And this time, he was surprised by the sudden change in the atmosphere.

It seemed like Yuzuki had just shown him a totally different side of her. And it looks like any kindness she'd shown towards him, or everyone else, was nothing more than a facade. Her words were full of nothing but annoyance and jealousy, and as sensitive as he was, Makoto felt his heart stung. But her question really had got Makoto thinking back about all the time he'd spent together,

After breaking up with his boyfriend, all he felt was nothingness. He had been living in a cage he set up for himself for almost three months. But then Hinata appeared in his life. He approached him with such forwardness that he was taken-aback. It was a little disturbing at first, but soon, he realized that his heart has begun to lighten, just by the mere presence of the other boy. Whenever Makoto was lonely, Hinata was there. He had always taken care of him, made him forgotten everything.

And of course, it's only a matter of time before the feeling of reciprocation appear in his heart.

"Hina-kun has always been there for me." He said as he looked up straight to Yuzuki, "So... yes. He's the one I'm always thinking of."

"Well then, I will make sure that you'll stay away from him. Goodnight, Ma-ko-to-kun." She said with such coldness that make him almost quiver, and before he knew it, he was pushed into the 2.5 meter deep pool. When he could realized what was happening, it was too late. His back made contact with the water surface and he began to sink.

Haunted memories of an accident that he'd never forget pour back into his mind, making him struggling to get off, but it feels as if the water keep shoving him down further as he stroking his arms and legs. Soon enough, blackness began to cloud his vision as he felt the last of his breath stripped away from his lungs.

Makoto was sure that he's lost his consciousness for good, it was cold and lonely. But the familiar warm of someone appeared out of nowhere, pulling him out from the coldness of the water. And, he could felt something warm, yet sweet, blowing life back into his body. And fortunately, Makoto had managed to wake up.

Coughing out water, he slowly opened his eyes to the voice of someone calling his name desperately. He saw that Chitose, his classmates and the coach were surrounding him, they all sighed in relief to see that he was okay. And next to him was no one other than Hinata, who looked as if he was about to cry.

The first thing Hinata saw was Yuzu's expression, and it terrified him. Pure rage and hatred emanated out from where she was standing, and he didn't want to take a single step closer. But then he saw Makoto. The second he saw the boy hit the water, he was sprinting toward the pool, throwing off his shoes and diving in without a second thought, surprising both Yuzu and Chi. Hinata wrapped his arms around Makoto's waist and dragged him out of the pool. From there on, everything was running on pure instinct. Looking down at the boy, his heart skipped a beat as he realized he wasn't breathing. No... XX
Pressing his hands to Makoto's chest, Hinata pumped downward in an attempt to push the water from his lungs, drowning out everything around him. He didn't notice Chitose screaming at Yuzuki, nor did he notice when the teacher arrived, the rest of the class crowding around them worriedly. He simply kept trying, blowing air in through his mouth and silently holding back tears. It took three tries before he finally got results, water spewing everywhere. XX
Hinata was exhausted by now, panting and staring down at Makoto as if he'd seen a ghost. A pair of chocolate eyes met his own bright blue, and Hina started bawling, cradling Makko and sobbing into his soaked-through shirt. "I thought you were dead..." Hinata didn't let go of Makoto when the teacher demanded to know what had happened, and to everyone's surprise, Yuzuki admitted to having pushed him into the pool, though she did bring up the fact that she hadn't known the risk in doing so. She was dragged off by the teacher and paramedics arrived a few minutes later to assess Makoto's condition. XX
Hinata and Chitose refused to leave their friend's side, riding with him to the hospital despite still being in their Gym clothes. Hinata spent the ride in silence, still crying and now clinging to Makoto's hand like a lifeline. All he could think about was how close he'd come to losing Makoto a second time. XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

When Yuzuki confessed that it was her who pushed Makoto into the pool, Chitose slapped her so hard that her hand was still tingling after the impact. The short-haired girl too was almost fell down as she stared at her classmate in utter surprise, "You heartless girl!" Chitose yelled, and this time, tears flowing down her cheeks endlessly. She had never felt so scared and so angry before. "If anything happened to Mako-chan, I swear to all that is good you won't be able to live in peace!" If there aren't any of her classmates around, a fight probably had started between the two of them. Chitose is usually a peaceful person, but she can't never forgive someone if they hurt her best friend.

The teacher then took Yuzuki away as paramedics soon arrived to take Makoto to the infirmary. Even though he was saved, his whole body and mind was still shaken from what has happened. It all happened just like before and he felt as if he's just escaped the grasp of death itself. Hinata and Chitose were with him all the way there and he felt a hint of guilt for making everyone worried about him so much. If only I wasn't so weak... He thought to himself as the nurses tending him.

About 30 minutes later, the nurse approached Hinata and Chitose, who were told to wait outside, "Kazekiri-kun is okay by now, I gave him a dose of sedative so he will be sleeping for now until school is finished. It was lucky that you were able to save him in time. His mental trauma disorder is still affecting him so he will probably be haunted for a short while. But just let him take a lot of rest and he should be fine." She said as she turned her back and went inside. "You two may come in to see him if you like, but don't disturb him."

And so, without hesitation, both Hinata and Chitose went to the bed Makoto was lying on, but he's sleeping peacefully as ever due to the effect of the sedative. Chitose sighed in relief, "Thank god. I shouldn't have let him going near the pool." Then the thought of a certain short-haired girl made her clench her fist, "That girl. I always know she's such a fake. I can't believe she even did this to him just to approach you."

Hasty footsteps were heard as the curtain covered the bed was unveiled, revealing an out of breath Risa. "Ma-chan! Is he okay?!" She asked worriedly when she saw her son sleeping on the bed. Chitose then explained what has happened to her. "I see." She exhaled a relieved breath, "If you two weren't there, I don't know what would happened. Thank you, Hinata-kun, Chitose-chan."

Hinata and Chitose stood in the hall of the hospital, worrying in awkward silence until the doctors came to talk to them. The two rushed to Makoto's side the second they were allowed, and their expressions softened in seeing his sleeping face, peaceful and calm. Hina listened to Chi's words and frowned slightly. "Yuzuki was my friend, and I should have known she'd be like this." Seconds later, Risa came racing in, and Chitose explained everything to her. XX
The entire time the two females were talking, Hinata was lost in thought. He couldn't seem to get two specific scenes out of his head. Makoto's first death was stabbing daggers into his conscience, as it had been his fault for not making Makko stay behind during the war. And what had happened today, hadn't that been his fault as well? After all, he had been the reason why Yuzuki had hated Makoto so fervently, even if he hadn't known about it. XX
Hinata slipped out of the room and sat on a bench in the hallway, his fingers gripping the hem of his shirt. It wasn't long before Risa came out as well. "Risa-san." Hinata spoke quietly, his voice cracking. "It almost happened again. He almost died again." Despite how much he'd cried already, Hina was choking back tears, staring holes into the floor and refusing to let them fall. "I honestly don't know if I'm what's best for him anymore. All I've done is cause him pain..." Hinata couldn't see Risa's expression, but he doubted that it was a happy one, and he knew she'd probably be furious with him. Way back when, she'd been the only other Angel who'd tried to talk to him, and had gone postal when she found out he'd blamed himself for Makoto's death. XX
"I think perhaps it'd be better for him to fall in love with someone else, someone who doesn't keep secrets and won't put him in danger. It'd be safer..." XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

After having reassured that Makoto is fine for now, Chitose decided to make her way back to her class to inform her classmates and to continue with her lessons. It was such a shocking event that caused everyone to gone panic. Makoto's always been a good friend of everyone in their class and they all would be worried sick should anything ever happened to him.

Hinata was sitting outside of the infirmary and moments later, Risa stepped out from the room too. She knew that the boy probably would have a lot to say after this incident. When he spoke up, she sat next to him and listened attentively to every word that he got to say. Every of his tear fell also hurt her a lot. But she knows that she must be the one to keep calm in situations like this. Risa had lived longer than any angels who descended from heaven, and she's more experienced about life than anyone else.

When Hinata commented that it would have been better that Makoto fall in love with someone else rather than him, Risa shook her head and placed her hands on his shoulder, "You've gotten it wrong, Hinata-kun. Please, listen to me." She said calmly, "Ma-chan might not remember the "you" from your past lives, he might not know how much you two once were in love with each other, but there's one thing that I can be sure is that even if he doesn't remember, his love for you will always last through time, no matter how many lives you two have to live through. Father had connected you with the red string of fate, and you two were always meant for each other. No one can ever change that."

She leaned her back against the chair, "Ma-chan has always had a sensitive heart that can easily get agitated by those who care deeply for him. I'm sure that as much as you're fawning over him, he might starting to fall for you already. You're one of the topics that he usually talk to me a lot recently, you know? You're saying that he should fall in love with someone else, because you're scared. You're hesitating that you won't be able to take it if you lost him once again. But, like many hardships you two once had to gone through before, this is just another challenge you two have to face. Can you be certain that either you or Ma-chan would be happy now that you're rejecting him? He had to endured so many miseries in his life now, would he be able to take it if he was to be left alone again?"

Risa then stood up, "What I'm saying that you need to think hard of his feelings and what is the best for the two of you before you make the decision. Remember that even if Ma-chan didn't know it, he's at peace as long as you're around. About Yuzuki, it seemed that I really have to take my responsibility as an archangel properly so that she won't up to something bad like this again. So, you don't have to worry. Just get back to your class for now and think about what I've just said. I will watch over Ma-chan and have a word with Yuzuki later when I meet her."

Risa's words helped to calm Hinata's nerves, and while he still had his doubts, he also knew that Risa was probably correct. Most definitely correct. Hina nodded in agreement when she told him to go back to class. Standing, he allowed himself to be hugged, and bid goodbye to his mentor before leaving the hospital. Class was in session when he walked in, but that didn't seem to stop his classmates from putting down their pencils and crowding around him with worried faces, wanting to know whether or not Makoto was alright. He figured Chitose had probably had the same problem when she returned. XX
Hinata flashed everyone a fake smile and explained that Makoto was alright, simply asleep, and probably wouldn't come back to school that day. That didn't satisfy them though, since everyone immediately started pestering him about the CPR. Hina felt his face heat up as his classmates went on and on about how determined he'd been, and if the teacher hadn't intervened, he doubted that he would've been able to say anything more without stuttering. XX
The second classes were over, Hinata sent a text to Risa asking if Makko had woken up yet, and asking her not to tell him what had been said in the hospital hallways. He didn't want his friend to worry while he was supposed to be recovering. "Hinata-kun!" Turning, Hina found Chitose walking up to him with a sympathetic smile, falling into step next to him while explaining that Yuzuki had apparently been sent home for the day, and was likely going to be suspended or expelled. "I only hope she doesn't try to do anything else to cause someone pain, even if it's just herself." Hina replied, a bit sullenly. XX
Chitose walked with him until the fork in the road, where the two split up. Hinata stared down the the two roads leading to his apartment complex and to the cafe, and in the end decided to head home, calling Inu-san to let her know he wouldn't be coming. Apparently one of the waitresses who also attended his school had informed her of that day's happenings, and she understood. I doubt that I'd be able to concentrate on working at all right now... XX
When Hinata finally made it up the nine flights of stairs to his apartment - he never took the elevator, though no one knew his reasons why - he was too lost in his thoughts to notice that Yuzuki was standing outside his door, and nearly walked right past her. He visibly tensed in sight of her. "Why are you standing outside my apartment, exactly?" Hina noted that Yuzu's cold expression was the same one she'd been wearing when she'd pushed Makoto into the pool, and he was slightly worried that she would try and throw him over the railing. "Hide, do you really think that you'll be able to have a relationship with him the way you did before?" Yuzu paused, as if expecting an answer. Hinata only stared at the nameplate on his front door. "Why not?" XX
At this, Yuzuki's expression turned into an angry scowl. "He died, Hide. How do you even know it's the same Makoto you were in love with?! And if he is, there's no way for you to know if he even has the ability to fall in love with you. Besides, it's not like you can protect him. Just look at what happened today. It was technically your fault that he almost drowned. How was I supposed to know he couldn't swim? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be on Earth, much less at that stupid school." So she didn't descend willingly, then. I knew it. Hinata didn't speak, nor did he take his eyes off of his front door. XX
"Well, that's all I have to say. See you around." Yuzuki disappeared down the stairwell, and Hina let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. Deep in the bottom of his heart, he knew she was right. Stepping into his apartment, Hina locked the door and headed to his room, wanting nothing but sleep. XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Later that afternoon, when the sun had set and almost every student now has returned to their houses after a long day studying, except for those who have duty that day, the sedative's effect finally worn off. Makoto winched and slowly opened his eyes. Where am I...? He asked himself as he tried to sit up on the bed. Then, memories of what had happened earlier that day soon poured back into his mind. Oh... right, I fell into the pool so it's natural that I'd ended up here.

"Ma-chan ~ You've finally awoken ~ ! Do you know how much kaa-chan had been worrying for you? ~" Risa chimed as he jumped towards the bed and gave her son a tight embrace.

"Mako-chan ~ Please don't make me worry for you like that ~ How can I live without you? ~" From the other direction, Chitose also ran towards him and hugged him tightly. Being embraced by these two over-excited ladies is pretty much like being strangled.

"Okay, okay. Please let me have some breath. I've just come to my senses, remember?" Makoto laughed reassuringly to his mom and best friend. And they finally let him go. He noticed that he's still in his uniform and his bag was lying on a chair nearby. "I've been asleep the whole day already?"

Chitose nodded, "Yeah, it was due to the sedative the nurse gave you. Don't worry though, me and the other guys had helped you to copy today's lessons. The teachers didn't say anything either so there's nothing for you to concern. You can even take a whole day off tomorrow if you like."

"No thanks, finals are about to come already so I don't want to miss any lessons." Makoto sighed as he stepped down the bed, then suddenly Hinata popped up in his mind, "Umm, has Hina-kun gone home already?"

Risa stayed quiet for a moment before smiling, "He had been worried for you to dead so I told him to went home already. But I'm sure he'd been jumping with happiness tomorrow when he saw that you're all good now. Come on, let's go home so that the nurse can close the infirmary. Kaa-chan will make something for you today, okay?" She said with a wink as the three of them headed back to Makoto's apartment.

A long day had finally passed, but who knows what tomorrow may entails?

Hinata went straight to bed, even though it was only 2 PM, and got rather little sleep. He woke up at least five different times during the night due to an empty stomach and a few familiar nightmares, so when he awoke the next morning, he didn't feel the slightest bit rested. Well, that's what I get for letting my emotions get the better of me. Hina managed to cook himself a decent breakfast and headed to school with his sketchbook open in his hands. XX
When he arrived at the school, his classmates crowded around him again, though in far smaller numbers than the day before. A couple of his friends from class shooed the crowd away and he walked with them to the classroom, engaging in the usual chitchat but not having any interest at all in what was being said. After all, all they ever did was complain about their grades and the fact that girls would never want to hang out with them. Hinata caught sight of Makoto and Chitose out of the corner of his eye, and waved at them dramatically with a smile on his face before the bell rang, leaving no time to say more than hello. The day's classes passed by in a flash. He didn't eat with his two best friends at lunch, instead opting to 'study' by himself. XX
He didn't get any studying done, and by the time classes were over, he was both furious and contented with himself and the choice he decided upon. Yuzuki was right. Maybe it is better to just leave him be... Hinata waited patiently by the school's front gate, ignoring anyone who called out to him, his face void of any emotion. When Makko finally showed up, Hina walked up to him and inhaled deeply. He didn't even care whether or not Chi was with him. "I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid we can no longer be friends." A couple of students looked toward the scene confusedly as Hinata bowed in apology. XX
Straightening his posture and staring at the ground, he continued with a sullen voice. "I had a lover once, who was just like you, the same in appearance and in personality. They were killed because of me. And when I met you, all I could see was that person. So I started to hang out with you more and more. But now I realize that it's rude of me to pretend to be your friend when it isn't you I'm being friendly too. I'm very sorry." It took everything Hinata had to not start crying, and without another word, he turned tail and ran, shoving past a bespectacled male who seemed to be in awe of the situation. XXX
Hinata ignored the stares and sudden whispers as he ran through the crowd, and couldn't bear to look back, to see what Makoto's expression was. After all, he didn't know whether or not the boy would be hurt by his words. Hurting him is the last thing I want to do, but this really is for his own good...it is... XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

The morning soon approached and it hardly seemed that such a dreadful day has just passed. It was lucky that Makoto didn't have any bad dreams last night. He really had to pay a psychiatrist and a swimming coach a visit so that he could get over his fear of water, because it has been giving him nothing but trouble since he was small, and he doesn't want other people to worried much about himself either.

Ever since last night, Risa had been taking care of all the stuffs that usually it would be Makoto who taken care of them. He'd told her that he was really okay now, but every once in a while, she knows she had to act as a protective mother, no matter how independent her son can be. She'd also paid Yuzuki a visit last night and had made sure that the girl won't scheming things again. Though it doesn't seem that she would let anyone know what she had said or done.

Bidding goodbye to his mom and made his way to school, he was greeted and caught up by Chitose, as usual. But today, it was strange that Hinata didn't show up. Perhaps he had duty today so he got to get there early? Makoto thought. He had been thinking about nothing but the other boy last night. It was Hinata who saved him after all and he was grateful because of that. And, he had also thought about what he had confessed to Yuzuki yesterday. The words from the bottom of his heart. Just thinking of that is already to make him felt happy. I got to thank him, for everything.

For some reasons, both Makoto and Chitose didn't catch sight of Hinata either and he felt somewhat weird because of that. The lessons went on peacefully until school was finished, in the orange shade of twilight. Walking with Chitose towards the gate amongst the crowd of students, Makoto kept looking for Hinata, but he didn't see him anywhere. And finally, he was able to catch the familiar boy at the front gate.

"Hey, Hina-k-" Before he could finished his sentence, Hinata bowed to him and said that they could no longer be friends, much to both Makoto and Chitose shocking. What the other boy said next felt like nothing but knives that pierced through his heart.

It was exactly what his ex-lover once said to him, the day the broke up.

He wanted to say something, but his heart was throbbing too much for him to say anything. He had just gotten over the burden that had pierced his heart so hard, but now, with just a few words, they all come back.

Why do people keep bringing him happiness, then cruelly taking it away from him?

He turned his face to the ground as the stinging pain in his heart soon turned into tears, as it streaming down his cheeks with as if there was no stopping. "Hey, what is the meaning of this, Hinata?! How can you do this to him?" Chitose yelled for Hinata as the boy turned his back and started running.

But then...

"Hina-kun, please listen to me." Makoto shouted to Hinata from behind his back, knowing that as this distant, he might still be listening to him, "I don't know why did you say this to me. It hurts me, but there's nothing that could be more hurting than losing a precious friend who has always been by my side like you. I don't care whether you will keep rejecting me or pushing me away or not, but I will not let anyone came into my life, and then walked away coldly like that ever again. If I've done anything wrong, please tell me. If I hadn't been a good friend, please let me know." Tears are still streaming down his face, but somehow, he'd managed to smile, "Even if you say we're not friends anymore, I will not give up. I believe that the kindness that you've shown me is real. I won't stop until we can be friends again. Please don't forget, Hina-kun!"

Even Chitose was surprised at what her best friend has just said. What Makoto has just said was so painful that some of the other students who were watching also started to cry. But, he doesn't care. Happiness had always come to him so easily, but it always gone away from him as easy because he doesn't know how to grasp it. Makoto doesn't want that. He knows he mustn't sit still and watch as everything he loved disappearing from him like usual. And it's time that he stands up to protect his happiness by his own hands.

When Makoto returned home, Risa knows immediately that something has happened again. But he said that he just wanted to be alone, so she left the apartment to leave her son some space. He doesn't know how he should feel or what he should do anymore. He knows that he was supposed to be hurt and angry at how he was being rejected, all over again. But as the gentle image of Hinata popped up, he just couldn't find it in himself to be mad at him.

Suddenly, the bell rang and cut his stream of thought. He knows that it couldn't be his mom since she got the key, so he wiped his tears and went to the front door to see whoever it was. "May I he-" When Makoto opened his door, he couldn't be more surprised at the one who was standing outside of his apartment. It was a tall, lean, handsome guy with black hair that draped over his eye. And he was holding a bouquet of lilies - Makoto's favorite type of flower. It was Shigeru, his ex-lover.

"It's been a while, Mako-kun." The guy said to him with a gentle smile.

Makoto's expression turned from surprise to a stern, cold one. Even though he did allow Shigeru inside his apartment, he didn't say anything. Shigeru sat down at the kotatsu table and place the bouquet down on it. He used to come here all the time to hang out with Makoto, so you could say that he felt comfortable here as if it was his house.

"How are you doing, Mako-ku-" Shigeru asked, but before he could finished his sentence, Makoto interrupted, "Why did you come here, after having disappeared all these times?" He asked with a cold tone and he didn't even bother to hold back his words, "Please, if you have any business, say it quickly. The one I don't want to see the most right now is you."

"Mako-kun, I know you're mad with me. It's okay to feel so and there's no word that can describe how terrible I felt for what I've said. But please, just hear me. I've always love you and I've never stopped thinking about you no matter how many days we've been separated. Even til now, I'm still thinking about you and there isn't a single day I didn't wish I would see you again." Shigeru said with calm.

"Oh? Then could you please tell me why did you just come up to me and said that we're done?!" Makoto raised his voice in apparent anger. It's rare to see him furious like this. "You cruelly rejected me, leaving me living in a hell for the past three months, and now you're coming back, telling me that you LOVE me. What am I, a toy that you could use to your heart content?!" When he couldn't hold back anymore, he stood up and yell into Shigeru's face.

"The reason why I had to break up with you is because my old man had found out about our relationship. If I didn't do so and agree to move to England to study so that I can inherit my family's company, he won't let you live freely. I couldn't manage to contact you and because I was being watched, I couldn't tell you about it either. There isn't a single day that I didn't feel regret for hurting you, but I have to, so that I can protect you. Now that the old man is dead because of his cancer and the company is now mine, I can return to Japan. I have never lied to you and I swear that I never will." He replied with calm despite Makoto's anger.

Makoto grind his teeth. He felt like he could give the guy a slap on his face. But he managed to holding back when he saw that what the guy said seemed to be genuine. "What do you think you're going to achieve now that you're telling me this? Like you've said before, we're done, right? Why bothering to come here when you're now has a whole company at your disposal? There are plenty of people out there who can satisfy you better than me, why not choosing them instead?"

"Like I've said, I still love you and I always do. So, I hope you can think carefully." He paused a bit before went on, "Please come back to me. I know that it's hard and I know you probably won't forgive me for rejecting you. But if you do, I promise that I will never betray you again. I will protect you and never let anyone hurting you. And I swear it for the honor of my family."

Makoto listened quietly to whatever excuses Shigeru has just made. True enough, it would be too hard for him to forgive his ex-lover for what he did. But then again, he knows that the guy had never lied to him and he can felt his honesty. He stayed silent for a minute before turning to Shigeru, "Please just go home. I... will think about it."

Shigeru gazed at Makoto for few second before tugging him into a hug, much to Makoto's surprise, "I know I've said it for like a thousand time already, but I love you, Mako-kun. If you have any troubles, I will always be there for you. Please call me, okay?" Letting go, Shigeru stood up and left.

The lost warmth that he hadn't felt for so long now is still lingering on his body. Sighing, Makoto laid himself down on the floor while staring at the ceiling. So many things have happened in such a short time so he's totally confused. But for now, he knows that got to fight for his happiness, no matter how futile it may seems.

I got carried away and the result is this gigantic post .___.
Hope you can be patient enough to read through it xD

Hinata just barely heard what Makoto shouted after him, and immediately regretted his choice. He almost turned around, but internally scolded himself, and continued running towards his apartment. It's already been said, so there's no point in turning back now. He was already at the apartment complex by the time he realized he was crying. Not bothering to wipe his tears, Hinata slowly trekked up the stairway and made it to the ninth floor, his eyes now red and tear streaks evident on his face. Jintan and Momo happened to come out into the hall right at that moment, and both of them tried to talk to him, only to be ignored as he unlocked his front door and disappeared into his apartment. Hina ate nothing and went straight to bed, but got no sleep. XXX
The next morning, Hinata almost skipped school, only deciding against it because of the upcoming final exams. When he arrived at the school, he didn't bother to put up his usual fake smile. He didn't need to anymore. Nearly half the school had watched the previous day's events, and rumors traveled fast enough that it was guaranteed the other half of the school would have already figured it out. As expected, all Hinata got were blank stares and whispers.

━━━━━ ❖❖❖ ━━━━━

Three weeks passed, and not a single minute went by that Hinata didn't spend regretting his choice. It took only half a day before everyone was avoiding him. No one wanted to hang out with the person who had hurt Makoto, but no one wanted to confront him about it either, so instead everyone avoided him altogether. The only people who even came near him were Chitose and Makoto himself, though neither gained even the slightest reaction from Hinata. Chitose managed to scare the entire class away while she scolded him, and though he showed no emotion, the entire situation was painful. XX
During those three weeks, Makoto refused to give up on Hinata, even if he always bolted at the sight of the smaller brunette. At lunchtime, he sat by himself in an empty corridor, watching out the window at the falling snow. He always came to class only minutes before the bell rang and was gone the second the day ended. Even at the cafe, Hina managed to avoid Makoto the few times he did come, either hiding in the kitchen or pretending to be busy. XX
Hinata stopped showing emotion only one or two days after the scene between him and Makoto. His face was completely stoic during school hours, reacting to nothing, and even customers who had been requesting him for months were only able to get a half-hearted fake smile out of him. In the end, Hinata had stopped being himself, and continued to silently regret his decision to leave Makoto behind. It was hard to not respond to the texts or shouts or whatever way was used in an attempt to contact him. It was hard to not start bawling and apologize, but by now, even Makoto wouldn't believe him. XX
Now he stood in the back of the cafe, wiping off a table as the last few customers of the evening left. Inu-san had been closing the cafe earlier due to the upcoming Christmas holiday instead of the 18 hours the cafe was usually open for. "Oi, Hideki!" Hinata turned to find his manager standing next to a small girl, who was smiling softly and staring off into space. "Can you walk this girl home? She's blind and stayed longer than planned, and it's dark out, so she probably shouldn't be out there alone." Nodding, Hina grabbed his coat and headed out of the cafe into the bustling streets. XX
The girl, who introduced herself as Aya, gently took his arm and chatted with him as they walked. She was very kind and seemed to be able to tell just what he was thinking. In the end, she somehow managed to cheer him up enough to get a genuine smile out of him, even if she couldn't see it herself. XXX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Some may say that trying to long over something that is no longer yours will bring you nothing but pain and suffering. It is futile indeed, but it was exactly what Makoto has been doing for the past three weeks. Never in his life had he got to try so hard just to grasp the happiness that once come to him, but then again, he hasn't achieved whatever he was hoping to get so far. There are times that he wanted to give up, but he just couldn't leave Hinata out of his mind, no matter what Chitose and his classmates said.

Since his dad now has returned from his working trip, Risa had to return to Kyoto. She had already knew of what had happened between the two of them because it was Chitose who told her. She had tried to reason with Hinata already, but he was just too stubborn to change his way of thought. In the end, she eventually gave up, knowing that it's better that they tried to solve this whole mess by themselves. Before she left, Risa gave Makoto a music box of sorts, telling him not to open it until "he wanted to know the truth" and that "he will know when he needs it." And obviously, Makoto had no idea of what she'd said to him, but still took the music box anyway.

After what has happened, apparently Hinata has completely changed. He turned from being one of the hottest guys in school to the one who was scorned and isolated the most. No one wanted to approach him rather than Chitose and Makoto himself. And no matter what Makoto had done, all that was shown on Hinata's face is a stoic, emotionless expression, no less. He tried to sit with him for lunch as usual, making Hinata's favorite bento, cupcakes, and tried to talk with him for so many times with a bright attitude just to cheer him up, but all Makoto has received was nothing but rejection.

Chitose has also given up after yelling at Hinata for, accidentally or intentionally, dropping the bento box that Makoto had made for him. She was so furious that her rage had managed to scare her classmates to death, because the usually calm and cute Chii-chan was way scarier when she's protecting her best friend. But even with that, Makoto still not accepted that it is futile. He doesn't know why he's trying so hard just for something he couldn't reach, but in his heart, he knows that he just can't stop.

All he wanted is to see the bright, carefree smile on Hinata's face again. That he would outwardly flirted and ruffling his hair again. He really missed it all.

On the other hand, after coming to Makoto's apartment that day, Shigeru has been sending Makoto gifts as well as asking him to hang out with him. Of course, Makoto declined and told his ex not to send gifts anymore and that they aren't going on a date. But he just doesn't stop. It seemed that he was persistent in making up for what he once said to Makoto so that they both can be together again.

It was a situation that no one wanted to give up so that their hearts can be less burdened.

At the moment, Makoto is walking towards the maid cafe with a box full of Hinata's favorite cupcakes. And like usual, he walked with a smile on his face, telling himself that Hinata will definitely accepted his gift and that they can started to be friends again. Chitose had refrained him from giving anything else for Hinata, so now he has to go in secret, or else she would be furious with him and that would be scary indeed.

But then, all that he felt in his heart the moment he reached the cafe shop was nothing but agony.

Hinata was walking with a girl and chatting so carefree with her with a genuine smile on his face - the smile that he had longed for so long, though he was still standing quite far from them so perhaps they didn't see him. She was pretty and it seemed that they made quite a couple themselves. It was only now that the realization finally hit him. Was everything that he had done is for nothing at all? Will the smile on that face now belonged to someone else, not his anymore? Questions like these kept clouding his mind. Then suddenly, he realized that some drops of water were falling on the box he was carrying. And they were nothing other than his own tears.

Quietly turning his back and return to his apartment, Makoto threw the box into the waste basket with disdain, even though he had tried so hard just to make it. He flopped and sat at the corner of his room before crying his heart out. He was hurt and it hurts him worse than anything before. So much that he doesn't know how he should felt or what he should do anymore.

And, in a moment of longing for comfort in his heart, he had made a decision that he knows he would regret. Picking up his phone while still sniffing with tears, he dials a number that he hasn't call for so long.

"Hello?" The voice from the other side spoke up.

"S...Shige...-san... I need... you..." Makoto said between sobs, "Can... you come... here...?"

And with that, only about 10 minutes later, Shigeru has left all of his work at the company just to come to Makoto. "Mako-kun, what has happened?" He asked worriedly the moment he stepped inside the apartment. But without saying anything, Makoto just grabbed Shigeru's collar and dig his face into his chest, wetting his shirt with his endless tears. Then, he pulled his ex into a long, wet kiss.

What happened next was of Makoto's pure instinct of longing for comfort, now that his heart was throbbing. He felt so guilty of the way the image of someone is presenting in his heart, but he's in fact sleeping with someone else right now. But, after all, his efforts were indeed futile. This is reality and he doesn't know any other ways, rather than wading in the pleasure of body to escape it. Feeling as the heat, the pain, the endless satisfaction that are flowing in his body, he just wanted to give up everything...

Outside, it was already dark.

Makoto laid nakedly with his face turned to the wall, the blanket covering his body from his waist down. It has been a while since the last time he did it with Shigeru. But he knows that his ex has always been a 'sex god' so there's no need to comment on whether it was good or not. "Hey." Shigeru gently hugged Makoto from behind his back after placing a light kiss on his shoulder, "What has happened, Mako-kun? You know you can confide with me anytime."

He listened but just stayed quiet, while feeling the heat from Shigeru's bare chest pressing against his back. "It was nothing... really. Sometimes... I felt that happiness just come to me and then cruelly stripped away from me. I don't even know what to do or how to felt anymore... I just... don't know. I had hoped that this time if I tried to grasp it, it wouldn't go away from me anymore."

Shigeru listened attentively before embracing Makoto even tighter, "It's okay. I don't know who's the one that hurt you like this, but you've called me and now I'm here, right? You just need to rest. I will not let anything harm you ever again. I promise."

And, with that, Makoto slowly fell into his sleep, in Shigeru's arms. He doesn't know how to face Hinata tomorrow, but he doesn't care anymore. At least for now, they've found their 'happiness' with their choices, right?

I don't know why but it hurts me to write this post too :(
And there's suddenly an urge within me to write the hottest H-scene ever...*slap myself*

At Aya's house, Hinata was gracefully thanked by her parents, who had been worried sick about her, and he bade them a polite goodbye before heading toward home. The smile slipped from his face the second he was alone again, and he walked home in silence, lonely but glad to be by himself. When he was alone, no one could criticize him for what he'd done to Makko, and no one could try to sugar-coat the situation. There wasn't a whole lot that could get worse than things were now. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to at least apologize for everything I've said. I mean, there's no way he wasn't hurt by my words. XX
The thought remained for only a few seconds, and then Hina shook his head violently. Now I just sound arrogant! And it's not like he'll want to be my friend again after all I've done, apologies or not. I might as well just get through the last month of the year, and then I won't hurt him ever again. Hinata stumbled up the stairs to his floor and unlocked his apartment, lingering in the doorway for moment as if hesitating to enter the empty darkness inside. XX
Just like every other night in the past few weeks, Hinata went straight to bed, spending the night tossing and turning with the same nightmares that had been growing progressively worse. He figured it was probably some sort of punishment for hurting Makoto. The walk to school was plain as usual, and when he got there, he was ignored by everyone, as usual. He headed to his class and took his seat without so much as a glance at anyone else, pulling out his homework and skimming over it to make sure he'd completed all the parts. The lesson started, and the first half of the day passed without error. XX
Hinata ate his lunch behind the vending machine, which had become unused after students realized it was where he spent his breaks. The silence was both appreciated and loathed. Staring nostalgically at the array of drawings in his sketchbook, Hina wondered what it would be like of he had never given up on Makoto. Would they be dating by now? By this time, would their relationship have gotten intimate? He would probably never get to know. XX
It wasn't until he was leaving the school that Hinata realized Makko hadn't come to school that day. According to the conversation he'd overheard, Chitose had been asking around if anyone had seen him, since he apparently hadn't been answering his cell phone. Instantly Hina felt guilty. If Makoto was depressed, he was definitely the reason, and he still couldn't help but regret his choice to cut all ties with the boy. Luckily, no one seemed to notice that he'd been eavesdropping, and Hinata made it home without being bothered. Even if he were upset though, I doubt he would skip classes like that... XX
Hina scolded himself for letting his brain wander, and had to remind himself that it wasn't his business anymore. They were no longer friends, so he had no business in worrying about his classmate. However, his disdain toward the subject turned to curiosity when he found an envelope taped onto his door. XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Morning has approached fast and another new day has begun. It was a beautiful day, as usual. But Makoto didn't know whether inside his heart was as sunny and beautiful as the weather outside. When he woke up, he realized that Shigeru was still lying next to him. He blushed lightly upon remembering what they did last night, and secretly hoped that they weren't too loud to annoy his neighbors. He always tries to keep his voice down whenever they did it, but still felt a little embarrassing at the thought of somebody else hearing it.

Though he knows he shouldn't feel that way, Makoto somehow feel happy and contented that Shigeru was by his side the whole night. If he wasn't around, he wouldn't know what to do. Perhaps I would even stop by a gay bar and slept with a guy I've just come across or something... He sheepishly thought before gently moved Shigeru's arm away as not to wake him up and slopped down his bed. He picked up his clothes which are scattering on the floor and got changed before making his way to the bathroom to do some personal hygiene.

Somehow Makoto didn't feel like going to school today. Maybe it's because that he doesn't want to see Hinata after what he saw at the cafe shop. So, he texted his class representative to ask the teacher to take a day off for him. He can borrow Chitose's notebooks later to copy the lessons so he wouldn't worry much. Making his way to the kitchen, Makoto made some pancakes.

When he'd finished, it seemed that Shigeru has also woken up too. "Good morning, Mako-kun. Did you sleep well?" He greeted with a gentle smile to Makoto. "Good morning, Shige-san." He smiled back in greeting with Shigeru as he served the pancakes on the table. This really brings back memories of when they're still dating.

"Wow, you made pancakes? You still remember my favorite dish, after all." Shigeru remarked after taking a look at their breakfast.

"Well, I did ask you to come all the way here so I just wanted to repay you." Makoto scratched his face as both of them sat down. And then, they have a nice breakfast together while talking casually. For three weeks already, Makoto hasn't had a pleasant conversation with anyone like this.

"So, does this mean that we've officially come back?" Shigeru raised the question as he helped Makoto to wash the question. He raises his eyebrow and thought for a moment. Oh yeah, he did ask me if it is possible for us to come back again. Almost every part of his mind is screaming that he should say yes. And he was almost going to say so.

But no, somehow his heart doesn't feel that it was right. So he felt rather conflicted about it. Thinking about the question, he finally come to an answer, "I think... I still need sometimes to debate on that. It doesn't mean that I'm not grateful of you for looking out for me the since you came back, and the fact that you were next to me last night while no one would. I don't know why... but it just... a lot of things have happened and I think I wanted to have some peace of mind first... I hope you can understand. But for now... I guess we can hang out and do things together like before we dated."

Shigeru listened to his answer then smiled gently while hugging Makoto from behind, "It's okay, Mako-kun. As long as you didn't push me away from you, I'm happy. Just call me whenever you need and I will immediately be there for you."

For the rest of the morning, Makoto spent his days around his apartment doing stuffs that he likes: surfing webs, making foods for neighbors, playing games, reading, etc, just to forget about Hinata and all that has happened. Shigeru had excused himself after their breakfast because he was going to have a meeting at his company and his secretary will kill him if he didn't make it in time. But sometimes, it feels good to be alone, right?

Dusk soon approached and he was cleaning his room. When he was rearranging his bookcase, he accidentally dropped the music box his mother gave him when she returned to Kyoto. Curious of what she had said to him, he picked up the music box and sat himself down on his bed. Having opened and rewinded the box, he set it down next to him and listened to its' melody

Suddenly, Makoto's head was hurt as if someone was using a hammer to hit it. He fell down on the floor and winched in pain while hugging his head as the melody goes on. Then, strange images began to pour into his mind.

There was heavenly place where there was no pain...

There were two angels, one resembles Makoto and one resembles Hinata...

There was a promise that they would be together forever...

There was a love that had lasted for eons...

As the melody come to its' end, Makoto sat up as his head was no longer in pain. He quietly watched as the images... no, the lost memories of a past life coming back to him, stronger than ever. And he knows that he must accepts it, because it was the answer that he had been looking for.

There was a war, between the angels and demons...

There were deaths from both side...

There was the brave sacrifice of Makoto...

There was the moment when they last see each other as angels...

There was thousands of particles before everything become nothingness...

The melody stopped and the music box automatically closed itself, Makoto stood up from where he sat and ran out of his door. Those memories were so painful that he just wanted to cry. But he knows he doesn't have time for that. He has to find Hinata. He has to confess the feelings have always built up in his heart. He has to tell him that he loves him, forever and ever more.

"Until the day we meet again... in an after life..."

But then, a gang whose leaders are the guys who were expelled from his school showed up from nowhere, surprising him. He was outnumbered and decided to run, but someone was behind him first. They cover his mouth and nose with a tissue that stained with anaesthetic. And seconds later, all he saw was nothing but blackness.

Hinata tugged the envelope off his door and turned it over as he walked into his apartment, finding his name written on the front in messy Kanji. He tossed off his shoes and headed to his dining table, dropping his bag on the floor as he sat, and carefully opened up the envelope. Inside was a letter: XXX
Hello, hello! It seems someone has taken your beloved Makoto into custody. You'd better come save your precious princess before his ear gets cut off. XX
What the heck? Is this some kind of dumb joke? There was an address at the bottom of the page, and Hinata grew worried, even more so after a pair of silver earrings fell from the envelope and rolled across the table. These are Makko's...that means someone really did kidnap him! Hinata gathered the earrings and stuffed them into his pocked, grabbing his cell phone and the letter and rushing out of his apartment, too in a hurry to even lock his door. His mind was flooded with worry and confused thoughts as he ran, desperately trying to find the address. Why was everything going so badly for them? XX
When he finally arrived at the address on the letter, Hina found himself standing in front of an abandoned warehouse, the metal walls covered in rust and weeds having taken over the area. He slowly made his way into the building, and the first thing his eyes fell upon was Makoto, tied to a metal beam on the other side of the room. "Makoto!" Hinata caught his friend's attention and moved a few steps toward him, but instead toppled to the ground as something cold collided with his shoulderblade. Looking up, he realized it was a metal bat. "Well look who finally decided to come join the party!" XXX
Hinata recognized the person as the same male who had attacked Makoto oh so long ago, though this time he was surrounded by a group of at least five others, all with assorted weapons and unsettling grins. "We were beginning to think that we'd have to beat up the kid since our target wasn't showing up." "The hell do want with us?!" Hina growled, standing and holding his shoulder with one hand. "Hey now, no need to be angry. But to answer your question, we want revenge for that fight you won. You see, I never lose, so we can't have anyone beating me up." XX
Before Hina could do anything about it, the metal bat was swung into the same shoulder, most likely dislocating it. He let out a small cry and kicked the guy in the stomach, knocking him over. "Damn! Oh, that's right, did I forget to mention?" The kid glared at him as he stood back up. "If you give us a lot of trouble, we'll just hurt him instead~" Hinata turned to look at Makoto, and sighed lightly, moving his eyes to the floor and nodding. XXXX
From then on, the pain only got worse. Fifteen minutes passed without a break from being hit - with pipes, bats, a crowbar - and when the group finally laid off him, Hina was curled into a ball, panting and bleeding in several places. "Man, he doesn't even cry. How boring. C'mon, lets go." And the group left, though not before cutting Makoto loose and delivering a last few kicks to Hinata's stomach. He struggled to sit up, and doing so was extremely painful, so he knew there were bones broken. He could feel a migraine forming. I'm still conscious though, so they can't be too bad of injuries. XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

When Makoto finally come to his senses, he slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was in somewhere damp and dark. The walls were rusted and dripping water fell from the ceiling. Urgh. My head. He tried to reach his arms to hung his head, but instead he felt that he couldn't move at all, due to being tied to a metal beam. "Finally you're up. That anaesthetic really did work well, huh?"

Makoto looked up and saw the guys who kidnapped him walked into the storage. "What do you want? Didn't I say that I don't want to meddle with you guys anymore after you were kicked?" He asked while struggling in his bonds.

"The truth is... Makoto-kun, you were always such a goody two-shoe that there is always someone there to protect you. We're just so pissed because of that. Did you have any problems?" The leader guy said as he took out a knife, which made Makoto felt a chill down his spine, "But worry not, we've sent your little prince a little note already. I'm sure he'll be on your way to your rescue already."

Just hearing those words is ridiculous enough for Makoto to sniff a laugh, "You mean Hina-kun? Well, too bad for you then. We're no longer friends so just stand there and waited pathetically because he won't come." He had given up all hope that Hinata would show up already.

But then...

The door to the storage was swung open and the first thing he heard was his name. Looking up in great surprise, he saw that it was no one other than Hinata. Just the sight of him is already more than enough to make him burst into tears. In fact, he felt that a sense of relief washed over his heart that he had come. However, the realization soon hit him that they were totally outnumbered, and there's no way that they could fight back all of those guys. So, in order to prevent Makoto from being harmed, Hinata gave up himself and the gang beaten him up. And it hurt Makoto watching his loved one suffering like this, but what can he do if he was tied up like this?

After being tormented for like 15 minutes, they finally decided that they were bored since Hinata was too persistent. So they left, but not before cutting Makoto free and gave Hinata a few extra kicks. As soon as they left, Makoto ran to Hinata, who struggled just to sit up. "Hina-kun." He knelt down and helped him, "Be careful. Don't overexert yourself like that."

Then, the whole atmosphere turned silent that it was awkward. But then, Makoto looked to his friend with a smile, "I thought that you would never come, but I'm glad you did. I was trying to find you, but somehow, they cornered me and knock me before I knew it. Please, Hina-kun, listen to me. I remembered it all now. Why don't you just tell me that I have a past life? That we are angels before we're reborn into this world?"

Looking at Hinata's apparent surprised expression, Makoto nodded, "I wouldn't believe myself either. But it was my mom. She gave me a music box and when I listened to its' melody, I remembered everything. How we've pledged that we would be together for eternity, how the war started and... yeah, how I died." He gently grabbed Hinata's shoulders, "But trust me. It was the decision that I chose for myself. Would I just stand there and watch you die instead of me? It would be as hurt for me as you are. And even without those memories, I know that my heart only had the image of one person, the person who were meant for me, the person who had always been there for me, and the person whom I will love no matter how many lives I have to gone through."

Then, Makoto quietly moved his lips and place it on Hinata's. Their kiss lasted for a few moment before Makoto pulled Hinata gently into a hug, "I love you, Hina-kun. I always do. Please don't ever leave me and push me away like that again. No matter what has happened, please rest assure that it isn't your fault. As long as you're with me, it's already more than enough. So, please always stay by my side, Hina-kun."

Suddenly, the gang walked into the storage again, "Well, well. You guys were so romantic that makes me wanna puke." He played with his bat, "Now then, have you rested well enough? Let's continue where we left, shall we?" He raises his bat to hit Hinata.

"No, stay away from him." Makoto moved in front of Hinata and shielded him as he saw the bat was about to hit. Closing his eyes tightly, he was ready for the painful impact...

But no.

The guy was hit by something that was thrown from behind his back that hit his head, and he fell unconscious. "Mako-kun!" Shigeru yelled as the storage's doors were swung opened again, "Get them, boys." He ordered some of the black-suited guys who probably are his body guards. They made quick works of the rest of the gang, and now all of them laid on the floor, unmoving.

"Mako-chan." Chitose also yelled as she ran towards the two.

"Shige-san? Chii-chan?" Makoto was surprised at the appearance of them, "Why did you know we were here?"

"Chitose-san come to me to see whether you were at my place or not. We've searched for you." Shigeru said with a sigh of relief, "It was lucky that you're still in one piece."

"Geez. Could you two stopped worrying me for a sec?" Chitose complained as she smiled, "Come on, let's get out of here first."

And then, they all helped Hinata to stood up and made their way to the hospital. Perhaps, from now on, things might just really turn for the better.

Hinata was grateful to see that Makoto hadn't been hurt, but in remembering the fact that they still weren't on good terms, he turned his gaze to the ground in awkward silence. To his slight surprise, it was Makoto who spoke first. Hina listened intently to his words. He was looking for me? His eyes grew wide as he realized Makoto's memories had returned. It seems his surprise was obvious, as the brunette then explained how. The mention of a music box brought several different memories from the back of Hina's mind, and he couldn't help but give a faint smile, knowing Risa's helpful intentions. XX
The feeling of lips on his took Hina by surprise, but it was a feeling he'd missed for so long, and he kissed back gently while bringing his good hand to intertwine their fingers. Hinata smiled into the hug and tried his best to hug back without aggravating his injuries. He opened his mouth to say 'I love you', but was interrupted, and Hinata couldn't help but feel vulnerable in his condition. He was far too tired to try and fight back, and he doubted his body could take any more harm. However, that didn't stop his protesting when Makoto threw himself in front of the oncoming blow, and he wrapped his arms around his friend in an attempt to pull him out of the way. The blow never came though, luckily, and instead several new figures entered the scene. XX
Hinata managed to succeed in pulling Makoto down onto his lap, which made him wince slightly in pain. "Makko, are you okay? You didn't get hit right?" Once it was confirmed that Makoto was alright, Hina allowed himself to finally stop worrying, and held his dislocated shoulder while trying to regulate his breathing. It wasn't until he heard Chitose's concerned voice that he completely registered the presence of other people. Looking up, he found that Chitose was indeed there, as well as a man he only recognized from a photograph in Makoto's bedroom. So he must be Makko's ex-lover Shigeru, then. XX
Chitose spoke something about not making her worry, but Hinata wasn't listening. His consciousness was slowly starting to fade and he suddenly found it difficult to stay awake. Visibly wincing as his friends helped him stand, Hina managed to make it halfway to the hospital before he finally passed out. XX
When Hinata woke up again, he was surrounded by bright white lights, the smell of disinfectant lingering in the air. I really hate hospitals... Looking around the room, he was pleased to find that Makoto was sitting in a chair beside the bed, fast asleep and clutching his hand for dear life. For the first time in a long while, Hinata felt the familiar warmth that came from being with his love, and he never wanted to let it disappear ever again. He gently squeezed Makoto's hand and tried to roll onto his side, succeeding after a few tries, but not without a decent amount of pain.Once he was on his side he place his other hand over Makoto's and went back to sleep, not caring if anyone was observing them. All that mattered was that he was no longer alone. XX

After getting out from the storage, Hinata fell unconscious. It was natural since he had to gone through such torture by the gang. Makoto and Chitose tried to keep his body intact as not to affect any other of his body parts since he looked as if he had a dislocated shoulder with some broken bones, not to mention many bruises that appeared all over his body. They were worried but not as much now since they've managed to escape. After they've all sat down in his car, Shigeru drove to a nearby hospital.

Hinata was treated and after the doctors had finished with him, he was covered with bandages and tapes. When the doctor reassured them that he would be fine and that he only needed to rest and refrain from moving too much for a couple of weeks and he should be fine. They all sighed in relief after hearing what he said. Shigeru and Chitose stayed outside, while Makoto stayed in Hinata's room to watch over him.

Sitting next to the bed and watch as his beloved sleeping so soundly, Makoto smiled. A truly happy smile that hasn't presented on his face for so so long. Everything happened and come so quickly that he doesn't know how he should react, but there's nothing else to be worried about now. A future where he and Hinata can live happy together is right in front of them and he knows that he won't ever be alone anymore. They have been separated for too long, but they can make it up. Clutching Hinata's hand, Makoto felt rather sleepy, so he decided to take a quick nap.

Some time later, when he woke up, he saw that Hinata was still sleeping and decided to just let him rest. Gently moved his hand away from him, Makoto made his way outside of the room. Chitose had left, but Shigeru still sat behind.

"Hey, Mako-kun. Is he still sleeping?" He asked and Makoto nodded as he sit next to him, "Is that so? Well, luckily it wasn't something too serious."

"Shige-san, about your question if we can come back together or not, I..." Makoto spoke up in order to reply to his ex earlier question that day, though Shigeru smiled and shook his head.

"You don't need to say anything. I can tell just by the way you look at him. And, I have a feeling that he truly is the one for you. Now I realized that you have always destined for someone else, not me. It will not be easy for me to throw away my feelings, but there's nothing else that I can do, rather than hope that you would find happiness next to the one you love." Shigeru said and reached his hand to caress some of Makoto's strands of hair.

"You're a good man, Shige-san. And I'm grateful that we once fell in love. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone who truly is meant for you out there." Makoto smiled brightly.

Nodding, Shigeru stood up, "Just remember, Mako-kun. Anytime you need, I'll always be there to help you however I can. I hope that he can treasure you as much as I once did." Turning his back, he walked towards the exit, "See you sometimes, Mako-kun."

Watching as his shadow disappeared, Makoto smiled and felt that he was encouraged even further. With these guys around him, he knows for sure that he won't have to cry ever again. Another day has ended, and tomorrow is another chapter will soon begin.

When Hinata woke up the second time, he was alone, and instead of an orange sunset outside the window there were grey clouds and falling snowflakes. He managed to sit up without too much trouble, and noticed that Makoto was talking to Shigeru in the hallway outside. I wonder how things are going with those two...eh, its not my place to eavesdrop. Hina played with the different cords attached to him while he waited for Makko to return. XX
Makoto walked back into the room a minute later and Hinata smiled reassuringly, knowing that he'd probably been worried. A nurse came in right after and waved to Hina, who let out an exasperated sigh. "How long do I have to stay in the hospital?" He hated hospitals and didn't want to stay there any longer than he needed to, especially when final exams were coming up and he'd need the time for studying. "I'd say only a day or two at most. You'll likely be able to go to class on Monday, but your doctor's recommended that you take it easy for at least a week. Too much movement could open up some of your wounds." Nodding to show he understood, Hinata answered a few more questions before the nurse left. XXX
"Makko." Once the nurse was out of earshot, Hinata turned to Makoto. "I'm sorry I worried you. And I'm sorry for everything I said...I didn't mean any of it. After what happened with Yuzu, I was scared of losing you again, and thought you'd be better off if you weren't around me. Now I know that I was wrong, and I promise that I'll never push you away like that again." Hina took Makoto's hand and kissed his temple, pressing their foreheads together and sighing. "You know, when you saw me through the classroom window for the first time, I spent ten minutes bawling in the bathroom afterwards~" XXX
Remembering the incident made Hinata laugh. "I had waited so long to see you again, and when I did, I couldn't even control my emotions. How pathetic is that?" He knew it wasn't a bad thing to cry, and he wasn't at all embarrassed to admit the fact. After all, anyone would cry if they were suddenly able to be to befriend someone who had been dead for nearly a hundred years. "I wanted to say this earlier, but we were interrupted. I love you. I always have, and I always will, no matter what happens. Even when we grow old and move onto another lifetime, I'll still love you. I promise to always be here." XX

All I can think of right now is a bunch of nurses hiding outside the door eavesdropping and swooning at how utterly sappy and romantic Hina's words are.

Back in the room after having talked with Shigeru, Makoto saw that Hinata was talking with a nurse and asked her when can be discharged, which she replied to be Monday. She asked him a couple of questions before leaving, which left Makoto and Hinata as the only ones in the room. As Hinata called him by his nickname, Makoto nodded as he made his way to the chair and sit next to the bed where he was lying.

He listened to every word that he said attentively and his heart has never felt happier. Perhaps, after all, his efforts aren't futile. Now they're back together, they know that no matter how long their journey is, as long as they're still next to each other, what could possibly goes wrong? Makoto chuckled when he heard that Hinata was crying when he first saw him again. It's not like that he was any better though.

"Baka ~ Of course I know that already. It was written all over your face when you first trying to flirt on me." He said as he brought Hinata's hand over his cheek. "Let's stop being cheesy with words. Now then, we've already passed the confessing stage, when will you be readied for the 'next stage' of intimacy?" He said with a mischievous wink. It seemed that Hinata also understands what does it mean, so both of them burst out laughing, not even caring about the world around them anymore.

The rest of the night went on without any other events. Makoto wanted to stay a little longer, but Hinata told him to went home since he still had school tomorrow and he'd already skipped today. He called his mom to tell her what has happened and, of course, she was so surprised with Makoto's greetings in angels' language. But at the same time, she was happy that everything has sorted out. It was nice that everything turned out so well in the end.

I thought so too xD
Soooo what do you think there 'first time' is gonna like? I was thinking that perhaps Mako turned bold and wild all of the sudden and tell Hinata to just stay still and enjoy while he did the works since he has 'experience' already? xD

The next two days were rather peaceful - well, as peaceful as can be when you're stuck in a hospital. It was mostly quiet, except for the occasional beeping of medical equipment or hushes discussions in the hall, and Hinata spent a majority of his time there either sleeping or studying. Makoto and Chitose visited him every day to help him study or to keep him company, and Jintan and Momo also stopped by to bring him clothes from his apartment. The two somehow managed to hook up their gamecube to the television in his hospital room, claiming that MarioKart would help strengthen his muscles. XX
And although his hospital experience wasn't especially horrible, he was still more than happy to leave on Monday."It'll be nice to not have some random nurse poking at you all day long, even if it means I have to learn how to change bandages myself." Hinata joked, his hand wrapped around Makoto's as the latter had offered to walk him home as a precaution. An entirely welcome precaution. Once at the building, Hina reluctantly gave in to his lover's demands and took the elevator to the ninth floor, though he made it perfectly clear how much he would have rather taken the long nine flights of stairs. XX
Hinata and Makoto spent that night in each other's arms, not giving a single thought to whether they could be heard through the apartment's walls, and neither was particularly excited about leaving the warmth of the bed when morning came. "You can stay in the nice warm bed, and I'll go make breakfast. Hopefully my milk hasn't expired yet..." Taking his time in kissing Makoto, Hina dressed himself and headed to the bathroom to change his bandages, smiling at the multitude of kiss marks left behind on his skin. Twenty minutes later, the entire apartment smelled of eggs, bacon, and bread. XX
When the two arrived at the usual meeting spot, Hinata shuffled nervously as Chitose approached. He knew how angry she'd been at him for what he'd said to Makoto, and was rightly scared of her. However, contrary to what he'd expected, Chitose simply karate-chopped the top of his head and scolded him for worrying everyone. It seemed she had explained the situation to their peers at school so that no one would be too confused when he and Makko arrived hand-in-hand (which she happily claimed to having predicted). "I'm sorry for worrying you, Chitose-san, and I promise to try not to do it again." XX
Walking the rest of the way to school, the three of them chatted with one another as if nothing had ever separated them, and Hinata was grateful that he had such accepting friends. A couple people stopped to stare at them as they walked into the courtyard, and several more ran over with worried expressions, asking about the 'accident' and how hurt he was and 'if he and Makoto-san were finally dating'. Apparently no one had actually believed that he'd intentionally hurt Makoto, which was a relief in so many ways. However, the crowd dispersed confusedly when a loud voice cut through the air. XX
"You!" In seeing the guy who had injured him, Hinata instinctively shrunk back a bit, his hand tightening on Makoto's. "You cheated! Bringing the police in like that, you got all my friends arrested! The only reason I haven't managed to finish you off is because you've been in the hospital all weekend, otherwise you'd have been dead an hour after you left!" A multitude of the students surrounding the area backed up, looking back and forth between the angry male and Hinata. No one would've expected Makko to make the first move, punching him straight in the face. XX

You forget that they were together for 20+ centuries before now, so they probably have equal 'experience'. And I'm not exactly comfortable writing R-18 content, so I'll just kind of vaguely imply what they're doing and leave the rest to the imagination. Also, should we do a timeskip to graduation? I mean, after the whole 'im-an-idiot-who-wants-revenge-and-doesnt-know-how-to-admit-defeat' deal. We could timeskip to when they're apartment-searching??

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

For the next few days, Makoto had been doing nothing but spending times at the hospital with Hinata. They have been separated for far too long, and even though they can't go out on a date for these days because Hinata still need to be treated at the hospitals until Monday. But these days were memorable with Makoto because finally, he was besides the person whom he loves again.

When Hinata is discharged from hospital, Makoto offered to take him home. Hinata then jokingly said that he would prefer to be discharged early rather than having to stay there any longer, even if it means that he had to learn how to bandage himself up. When they've reached his complex, Makoto had managed to persuade Hinata for him to take them to his room by the elevator. Well, he did protest but Makoto knows the guy couldn't argue with him after all.

And, everything comes naturally later that night. While being together in each other's arms, both their souls and bodies felt like they become as one. Finally, Makoto was able to make love with the person whom he devoted all of his heart to. The sounds as their bodies collided echoes throughout the apartment. And it felt as if the whole world has stopped spinning since that moment when they're with each other.

The next morning came and it was Hinata who prepared the breakfast for them before they made their way to school. Back then Shigeru never left any kiss marks on his body so felt a little bit embarrassing at the thought that someone might see them when they're at school. After their breakfast, they went to school together, hand-in-hand.

When Chitose caught up with them, rather than going on a fury on Hinata like the days before, she instead gave him a hard chop in his head, while smiling happily that everything now is okay. She was even happy to see her two best friends finally able to find their happiness after all that has happened. She'd also spread words about the fact that the two are now dating. And Makoto couldn't help chuckling watching the whole scene.

At school, some of their classmates ran to them and asked them whether they're okay or not, and some of Hinata's fangirls have reactivated his fan club again. It seemed that Hinata will regain his popularity soon enough. Though before they entered school to start their normal school day, a familiar voice echoed in the air, in turned caught everyone's attention. It was the guy who was the leader of the gang who had kidnapped Makoto.

He went on taunted Hinata and everyone seemed to have taken a step back at the sight of him. But Makoto took a deep breath and approached the guy. And much to everyone surprise, he took out a punch so strong that it made the guy fell hard on the ground, "The one who will be dead an hour after that is you. Clearly you're just so stubborn that you just can't accept how pathetic you are when you was beaten up, not us." Makoto stood proudly above the guy and said, "Unlike before, I can take you on without any problems because your friends aren't here, so if you don't want to suffer the same fate as them, move your ass away from here." He said with a challenging grin.

The guy was scared to death as he stood up and turned his tail and left. Everyone who was watching was awestruck , but then everyone applauded and whistled for Makoto. He walked to Hinata and grinned with a V-sign.

That sounds fine girl xD
BTW, about your upcoming RP, I'm ready now, so you can launch it :D

Hinata was surprised when Makoto stepped forward, but barely held in a laugh as his lovely boyfriend gracefully punched the guy in the face, likely breaking his nose and scaring everyone shitless. With a terrified expression and a bloodied face, the bully turned tail and disappeared. The crowd applauded Makoto and continued their question-asking. Smiling at his friend's v-sign, Hinata ruffled Makoto's hair and pressed a kiss to his forehead, entwining their fingers. The bell rang moments later and the crowd immediately dispersed, everyone rushing hurriedly to their respective classrooms. XXX
The rest of the day passed the same as any other, with cheerful conversations and joking and stories, and more than a little bit of PDA between Hinata and Makoto. Not that anyone minded. And when the day ended, it seemed as if nothing bad had happened at all. An entire month passed in such a way, with no complications or run-ins with gang members. There was a decent amount of stress concerning final exams, but everyone seemed to handle it just fine. Outside of school, Hinata and Makoto spent nearly all of their time together. They even went on some double-dates with Chitose and her boyfriend. XX
And thus brings them to this very moment, where Hinata and Makoto were standing in the middle of an empty apartment, flipping through a real estate magazine and discussing how much room they really needed. "We probably only need one bedroom, unless we want to have a library or studio or something. That might be cool, actually." Hina pointed to one of the pictures in the magazine, showing a decent-sized two-bedroom apartment that was actually quite cheap. "Maybe that one? It's close to the University, our old apartments, and Chitose's house, so the location's pretty convenient for us." XX
Three months ago, Hinata would have never thought he'd one day be picking out apartments with Makoto, his best friend and lover. After all, he'd always had doubts of whether they'd even end up together. But now, all doubts were gone for good, and truth be told, he couldn't be any happier. The two had gracefully declined Chitose's offer to choose their apartment for them, claiming that they wanted to choose a home that they both agreed on. XX
Once they'd finished looking at the apartment they were in, Hinata wrapped his arm - now fully healed - around Makoto's shoulders and pulled him closer as they headed out into the snow. It was still early January, so the streets of Tokyo were still cold as ever. "Why is choosing an apartment so hard? I didn't think it would be this difficult to make decision..." He complained, letting out a tired sigh but smiling anyways. "I think it should be your choice which apartment we buy. I don't really mind where we live, so long as I'm next to you!" Even in adulthood, Hinata was still a hopeless romantic. XX
"Anyways, for now lets just find a nice warm coffee shop so we can get some hot chocolate, its freezing out here and I don't want you to catch cold~" XXX

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

After that incident, Makoto received a ruffle on his hair with a bright smile from his loved one as usual. Some of the teachers who happened to come across and watch the whole scene didn't say anything because it was clearly out of self-defense. The bell the rang as the students all made their way into their respective classes. The day passed just like that, without much fusses other than how Makoto's classmates commented on how cool he was. And the fujoshi club at school going crazy at the sight of Hinata and Makoto together.

And, before anyone could realized it, another month has passed peacefully. And there isn't a single day when Makoto isn't happy when he's beside Hinata. They've all made it through the finals but they still couldn't sigh in relief yet, because the graduation exams and university exams are only a month away. Both Makoto and Chitose had decided that they needed to make it to Tokyo Uni. Most of their classmates think that with their grades, they should be able to do it just fine. Makoto still need to work it out on his Mathematics result though and Chitose had been giving himO free lessons three times a week for that sole reason.

Outside of school, most of Makoto's free time was spent with Hinata and Chitose. His best friend had come up with the idea of them going on a double date and at first he thought it would be quite awkward but it turned out to be really fun in the end. When they're alone, they do all sorts of things together like playing games, studying, dating and, yes, hooking up. Pretty much like any other normal couples would.

Now, Makoto is looking for a new apartment with Hinata. They're currently looking over an apartment that was quite cheap and its' position is quite convenient for them too. Makoto nodded, "Yeah, it seemed like an ideal apartment. We can use the empty room as a guest room, in case when my mom come and visit us there is still a place where she can sleep in."

After a while debating, they decided to head for a cup of hot chocolate because it is still freezing cold since it's only January. Hinata then complained on how hard it was for them to choose over an apartment. Makoto shrugged, "Well, when I first came to Tokyo, I really had a lot of troubles too. I have to stay over Chitose's apartment for a month or so until I met Hikaru-ojiisan. It isn't like when we're back in heaven where we can just flick and bam, a whole mansion appeared." Then he gave his lover a bright smile, "I would be happy wherever you are too."

And so, under the falling snow of winter, the two boys couldn't be more contented that they've fallen in love.

Looking around at the different shops lining the street, Hinata caught sight of the one he used to work at and promptly led Makoto inside, both of them comfortable for the warmth that came when they opened the door. Jintan was the first to notice them. "Hey, its been a while you two!" After seating them, Jintan took their order and stated a few moments to chat. "Sorry we haven't been able to talk a whole lot, but you two have been house-hunting and I've been planning a wedding, so there hasn't been much time to. And make sure you give me your new address so that I can mail you an invitation, by the way." They both nodded as their friend got back to work, the ring on his finger catching Hinata's eye. XXX
"Would you like to attend Jintan and Momo's wedding? I don't think I'd have much fun if you weren't there, so if you don't wanna go I'd rather just stay home and watch movies and cuddle." Hinata grinned, hugging Makoto close as they waited for their drinks. A couple of the waitresses stopped by their table to say hello before going back to work. Hinata indulged in a few questions concerning different topics - one of them being their relationship - but otherwise spent the next ten minutes or so chatting about wall colors and furniture with his companion, not stopping even when their hot drinks arrived. XX
Hinata and Makoto stayed in the familiar warmth of the cafe for a while, enjoying their drinks and chatting about different things, but eventually they shrugged their coats back on and headed toward home. Well, Makoto's home, at least. "You know, I spend so much time in your apartment that its almost as if we already live together~" It wasn't an exaggeration. Hinata rarely slept at his own home anymore, especially since Makoto's was so much more decorated and home-like compared to Hinata's barren and boring apartment. "It won't matter soon enough, since it'll be 'our' apartment instead~" XX
When the two arrived at Makoto's complex, Hinata reluctantly agreed to taking the elevator in favor of getting indoors as quickly as possible. I still hate elevators... "You have college entrance exams tomorrow, right? In that case, you should probably get some rest." Taking his lover's hands in his own, Hinata grinned playfully while gently dragging the brunette towards the bedroom, purposefully ignoring any protests about needing to study that night. XX
Once they were in bed it took only a couple of minutes for the two to fall asleep, curled around each other underneath the blankets and relishing in the much-welcomed heat that radiated off both their bodies. The next morning, Hina wasn't surprised to find that Makoto had woken up first, dutifully skimming over his notes. "Makko, if you study too much your brain will turn into a rock." He said jokingly, running his fingers through the smaller boy's hair in an attempt to distract him. "Besides, its been scientifically proven that tons of studying usually leads to stress, and its sad when you're stressed." XX
It took a few more tries before Makoto was successful distracted from his books, and Hinata took the moment for granted, pressing kisses from the top of his head all the way down to his collarbone. Afterward, the two cooked and ate breakfast together, chatting all the while. Hinata happily walked Makoto to the school, uncaring of the stares they got when he kissed the brunette goodbye before heading off toward the art gallery where he worked. XX

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

After spending the whole day before hanging out with Hinata, Makoto had indulged himself in revising lessons. Well, it was hard to concentrate though because Hinata had been trying as hard to distract him from his text books and notes. He was quite jealous of the guy though because he didn't have to take the exams and study as hard as Makoto. Perhaps I should have just chosen to take a full-time job like him.

Earlier that day, Jintan - Hinata's friend, met them and said that it had been a while because he was busy planning his wedding with his girlfriend Momo. Hinata said that he wouldn't go if Makoto wouldn't, in which he had chuckled and said, "Why would I stay home on a happy occasion like that? We should find some suits or something." Moreover, they've decided that if they couldn't find an apartment then they could just stay at Makoto's instead. He didn't want to leave a good complex like this, anyway.

The next morning soon approached and Makoto had been quite nervous. Hinata accompanied him to school where he will take the entrance exams. Kissing Makoto goodbye, Hinata then went to the art gallery where he's working now. Waving him goodbye, he went inside with Chitose joining him, teasing how close they were. They have to take their exams in different rooms so they gave each other a high-five and wishing each other the best.

The hours seemed to pass quickly. Sitting at the maid café shop with Chitose after all the exams were taken, Makoto sighed, "I don't know whether I did well or not. I think I got a couple of equations wrong already."

Chitose chuckled, "Well, you don't need to be over worrisome like that. You've been studying hard for the past few months already. Come on, let's just hope that we'll be able to study at Tokyo Uni together. So how's your apartment hunting?"

"We haven't found one yet. Perhaps it's better that we'll stay together at mine. I don't think I'm going to find any complexes that are as good as Hikaru-ojiisan's." He said with a shrug.

At the gallery, Hinata spent a couple of minutes chatting with his co-workers before the establishment opened to the public, though the different employees ended up chatting further even after they opened due to a a lack of customers. The first tour was scheduled for later in the morning, so Hina had plenty of time to spare, observing the art himself and going over different facts in his head. He was the most socially capable out of all the tour guides employed at the gallery, so both fortunately and unfortunately, he ended up having to lead a majority of the tours that were given out to visitors. XX
The first tour started at about ten in the morning, and consisted of about twenty or so sixth-graders, all of which were actually quite tame and respectful. Hinata enjoyed the way they saw stories in each painting and managed to give every sculpture a personality, anxiously listening to him speak when he did have a story to tell about a piece of art. It was enjoyable, and the kids all bowed to him before they left. Man, I love my job so much. XX
His second tour was not quite as enjoyable. Hinata's group only consisted of five grumpy elderly men, two of which were in wheelchairs and adamantly complaining about it. None of the men took anything he said seriously and hardly even seemed to have any fun during the tour, which would have made any other tour guide worry about their job performance. Hina simply walked them around the gallery, and didn't even bother to explain the paintings after a while, instead letting them complain and bicker amongst themselves without interruption. He was rather grateful to see them leave the gallery. XX
When Hinata finally decided to take his break, he was happy to find that Makoto's exams were over, or at least should be. He pulled out his cell phone and took a picture of himself in front of a sculpture, mimicking the figure's pose, and sent the picture to Makoto along with a message asking him about the exams. He's probably with Chitose right now, so he should be having fun. Slipping his cell back into his pocket, Hinata fetched his bento - which Makoto had made for him, something Hina loved to gush about - and found an empty bench near the entrance, happily eating his lunch in peaceful quiet. XX
"See you tomorrow, Hatsuko-san!" The gallery closed at about six in the evening, and Hina was happy to head home, ready to spend time with his lover instead of the massive amounts of random - and usually grumpy - tourists. He waved a hello to Hikaru-san as he passed and searched through his pockets for his key. Makoto had given him the spare key to his apartment a while back, since Hinata spent more time there than in his own home. "Tadaimasu!" Taking off his shoes and setting them off to the side, Hinata found Makoto in the kitchen, cooking. He smiled to himself and hugged the brunette from behind, nuzzling his face into Makko's neck and chuckling. "Y'know, it wouldn't be a lie to say I love your cooking as much as I love you~" XX

When I try to imagine the first time Hina used his key, it makes me laugh because all I can think of is him showing up in Makko's apartment at 2 in the morning and being like 'hello my love' while making poor Makko scream because there's just this dark figure standing at his bedside & whispering to him.

⌈ I'll never look back on what is now in the past. It is the present that I care about. ⌋

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Dialogue : #EE9572 | Thought : #D08F89 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Chitose and Makoto hung out with each other for the rest of the morning and the noon. It's been a while since the pair of best friend forever like them could spend some golden time like this because, well, they've already spent most of their time for their lovers. After all, they've always been together and one could even wonder that they're even closer than they are with their lovers. Especially since they're not the type that would forget their BFF just because they're now engaged in their own relationships.

After having a nice cup of coffee at the maid café, they went to the movie and then the arcade. Makoto could never have stopped being amused how enthusiastic his best friend is with all the games she had played. And then they headed for lunch. Despite not looking like it, Chitose also has quite an appetite that of a gourmet herself. They really had quite some fun with each other after going through such dreadful exams.

Bidding farewell to his friend, Makoto headed to the convenient store. He had asked Arata to change his shift for him and his boss was kind enough to accept. Until he graduated from university and actually find a job, he'll just going to work here for a couple of years to come, which was something Arata couldn't be happier to hear. He was even going to persuaded Makoto to take a full-time job. Well, he was going to should he failed his exams...

Makoto worked at the front desk until the end of his shift which is around 5:30 PM. There was a lot of customers recently and he hardly had a moment to catch his breath. Most of them were nice, fortunately, so there's nothing for him to be upset about. Before he made his way back to his apartment, he stopped by a supermarket to buy some ingredients for dinner. Hinata is about to get home soon so he should gave him a treat since he'd just gotten his salary the day before.

Eventually, Hinata came back. While Makoto was making the tonkotsu, Hinata suddenly hugged him from the back while saying how much he loves his cooking. "Yeah, yeah. I know that already. Please go and take a shower first. You're drenched in sweat." Shoving the other boy into the bathroom, Makoto went back to cook. Setting out the dishes onto the dining table, they both enjoying their dinner while conversing about what they've been doing the whole day.

"You know, I actually feel like we're somehow like a couple. And yes, I'm talking about my mom and dad." Makoto chuckling, "It's hard to believe how we all were angels back then and now we've reconciled in this world. I just wondered how would my dad react if my mom brought his memories back like how she did with me."

Pouting, Hinata playfully wiped some of his sweat on Makoto's apron and allowed himself to be gently shoved into the bathroom, smiling all the way. He showered quickly, but made sure he was clean, leaving his hair down and messy before getting dressed and walking back out to the kitchen. The two sat across from each other, their legs tangling together while they ate, and chatted about different subjects. Hinata told Makoto about the sixth-graders and how sweet they had been, and about the grumpy old men, while listening to Makko speak about the frustrations involving college entrance exams. XXXXX
Hearing his lover's curiosity, Hinata laughed lightly and leaned on the table. "Well, Emiya-san's never been a fan of surprises, so I think it'd be pretty interesting to see his reaction. I can understand why Risa-san didn't give him his memories back though. In fact, I'm still surprised she gave you yours, when she's the one who told me not to." Finishing his food, Hina gathered the empty dishes from the table and moved toward the sink, carefully washing them while continuing to chat with Makoto. "It was a hard choice whether or not to give you back your memories. I wanted you to remember all the time we had together, but I didn't want you to know about all the bad that happened, and it was a tricky choice. In the end it wasn't even me that decided~" XX
Once the dishes were washed and the table was cleared, Hinata sat down behind Makoto and wrapped himself around the smaller boy, leaning his head on Makko's shoulder and grinning like an idiot. "You're a very huggable person, you know that? Kind of like a teddy bear, but sooooooooo much better~" XX

Makoto listened to Hinata replied to his question and then shrugged, "Well, I would figure that much. My father sure is a stern person but there are many times when he could be quite funny too. It's amazing considering how they both were powerful archangels in our past lives. Now they really looked just like every loving couple. My mom always tell me story of how they met in this world and how happy they were when they've become a couple and got married."

He tilted his head and smiled, "I really hope we could be like them too. And you don't have to worry about whether those memories were bad or not. As long as I'm with you, how sad could I ever be again?"

Then, they conversing with each other a little bit more until they've finished eating dinner. While washing the dishes, Hinata gave him a hug while remarking on how huggable he was, much more better than a teddy bear though. "Baka ~ Stop embarrass me already. Haven't you already hugged me to your heart's content everyday?" He blushes slightly while saying to his loved one. As long as this warm is still present near him.

For the rest of the night, both of them had done pretty much everything together - playing games, reading books, drawing, listening, etc, until it was almost midnight. Cuddling each other on Makoto's bed, Makoto kissed Hinata on his forehead before falling asleep, peacefully.

It was late by the time they finally went to bed, and Hina had added yet another drawing of Makoto to his already vast collection. He refused to draw anyone else, though every once in a while, Hinata drew the two of them together. After all, Makoto and their relationship were truly the only things that mattered to him, so why bother drawing anything else? Feeling the kiss to his forehead, Hina giggled quietly and wrapped his arms around Makoto protectively, pulling the smaller boy even closer. It wasn't long before both he and Makko were both fast asleep, warm and safe in each other's arms. XXX
When morning came, Hinata was the first to wake up, which he found to be a bit of a surprise. He didn't get out of bed right away though, and instead he remained underneath the warm covers, still cuddling Makoto close until he woke up. The two then indulged in a sleepy make-out session before reluctantly getting out of bed to make breakfast. "You know, it might be easier for me to move in here after all. That way you can stay where you're comfortable and we don't have to worry about moving furniture, since all of mine came with the apartment. Really the only things I own are here already anyways, except for all my plants..." Hina's apartment was filled with a ridiculous amount of houseplants, making more of a jungle than a home. XX
He and Makoto cooked together, cheerfully discussing what they should do for the rest of their day off. "Maybe we could go that new mall? Apparently it just opened a couple of days ago, so there'll probably be a lot of interesting merchandise and events." The two went on to list off a bunch more ideas as they ate, sitting side-by-side and nudging each other playfully after Hinata's suggestions became more silly - things such as 'buying a swimming pool' or 'stealing someone's cat' - though they were careful not to injure one another. This is what a loving relationship is like, and I don't ever want it to end~ XXX
"Oh, that's right, we have to buy suits for Jintan's wedding! Maybe we could do that today, since we have the day off. Sound like a good idea to you?" XXX

As both Makoto and Hinata slept peacefully in each other arms, morning soon approaches. Moments like these are surely what they will cherish for the rest of their lives. As the lights peaked their way into Makoto's room, waking the two sleeping ex-angels from their sleep. After a nice session of cuddling and nudging each other on their bed, Hinata got down from the bed and said remarked that it might be easier for both of them for him to move into Makoto's apartment.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too." Makoto nodded as he sat up and rubbed his eyes, "My apartment is big enough for both of us and we can use my room to sleep. Though I think we need to buy a bigger bed. I'm sure Hikaru-ojiisan will be thrilled." He said with a chuckle.

As both of them made and have breakfast together, they conversed happily with each other and talked about all sort of things. It's incredible to see that how intimated they've got now. Hinata then remembered that Jintan has asked them to pick the suit for his wedding for him. "Ah, right. I completely forgot. Chii-chan said she'll be waiting for us at the mall at 8:00 AM, since Momo asked her to pick a wedding gown for her too. We should get going."

After having finished with any other things that they needed to do around the apartment before setting off for the mall. At the entrance, Chitose was already standing there waiting for them. "Just about time, I thought you two are going to cuddle each other so much that you've totally forgot." She said with a mischievous grin, "Anyway, let's head in, shall we? A couple about to get married is waiting for us."

With that said, both of them headed for the wedding shop nearby.

Hinata couldn't help but laugh as Chitose scolded them for being late, especially since they really weren't, though he offered no argument. "It seems like Momo would wanna come get the dress herself, but I can understand how busy those two probably are. Planning a wedding probably takes quite a lot of effort." He commented, entwining his fingers with Makoto's as the three headed into the mall. The place was packed with people, which was to be expected of a brand new shopping center, and Hinata tugged his boyfriend so as to prevent either one of them from getting dragged away by the crowd. XX
The first thing Hina noticed about the wedding store was that it was surprisingly empty, with only two or three other people inside, not including the staff. It was a welcome difference from the rest of the mall. "Is it bad that I don't really wanna wear a bow tie? I feel like it'll male me look ridiculous." XX
Both Makoto and Chitose assured him that he would look fine in a suit, and though he didn't necessarily believe them, Hina still gave in. He and Makko spent the next hour or two trying on different suits - some of them as serious choices and others just to make fun of the clothes. Chitose offered her honest opinions for each one, and proved to be rather good at providing with outfits that fit well. By the time they decided on their suits, it was nearly lunchtime, and the three headed to the cafeteria once they'd gathered their purchases. "Is it just me, or does Makko look far better in a suit than I do?" XX
"Maybe its just because my clothing style is too random and casual. I guess something as fancy as a suit just doesn't fit me." The argument of whether or not Hinata looked 'good' in a suit continued on for another five minutes or so, or at least until the three became distracted by their respective lunches. The cafeteria was just as packed as the rest of the mall, and it was hard to say much without yelling, so the three opted to eat in gentle silence before leaving the over-crowded building. "Geez, I knew it'd be crowded, but I didn't think it'd be that crowded. It was as if everyone in Tokyo was in there..." XXX

If you can't already tell, I honestly don't think a suit fits Hina's personality, and the thought of him wearing one is continually cracking me up real easily.

The moment they stepped inside the mall, the first thing that was revealed in front of their eyes were how packed it was. Apparently the grand-opening of this mall just a couple of weeks ago had attracted the attention of every residents in the district. And it's no doubt that it's going to be like this for like a month to come. But it was nice knowing that there are always new shopping places that they all can hang around in the future.

In the shop, there aren't many people, much to the contrary of the bustling crowd outside. While waiting for the staff to go and get the dress and the suit for the couple, they debate on whether they would fit with a formal suit or not. And Hinata quickly commented that a bow tie is not his style, "Yeah. I think so too. But I think Jintan is going to ask you to become his groomsman and then you'll have to end up in a suit anyway." Makoto said with a chuckle.

After spending a couple of hours in the shop, they made their way to the cafeteria and have lunch at the cafeteria. Well, it couldn't be very pleasant though taking the fact of how much people are around them and they almost have to yell just to say something to each other. When they're out of the mall, Hinata quickly expressed his relief. They walked for a little bit more until Makoto's phone rung. It was a text from Arata.

"Well, it seemed that the guy who worked the shift today has to took a day off so Arata-san is calling me over." Makoto said to his lover and best friend, "I have to go then. You two have fun. See you later ~" He smiled with them both and disappeared into the crowd.

W-well, I don't think Hinata would fit with a suit and Makoto would probably felt the same... ^^;

Hinata pouted slightly when Makoto announced his needing to leave, but didn't make a big deal out of it, and dramatically waved goodbye as his lover disappeared down the street. "Hi-na-ta-kun. When do you plan on proposing?" Choking on his own spit, Hinata turned to look at Chitose, who was smirking with her arms crossed over her chest. "W-What are you talking about? I haven't even thought about that yet..." Chitose simply stared up at Hina with a 'you-better-tell-me-or-else' expression. "Well, I still haven't looked for a ring. I've been too busy with work and apartment shopping, so..." XXX
In hearing his words, Chitose's smirk brightened into a huge grin, and Hinata suddenly got the feeling that his afternoon no longer belonged to just him. XX
"In that case, I'll help you look for one! After all, Mako-chan and I have been friends for years, so I know the perfect ring for him!" The smaller girl grabbed hold of Hina's arm and dragged him straight back into the mall, despite his half-assed protests about the crowd and the fact that their friends' wedding was more important. Chitose ignored him and Hina gave up, letting her pull him towards the first jewlery store she caught sight of. XX
The rest of the afternoon was spent inside the mall. Hinata and Chitose scoured every jewelry store in the place - which was quite a few - yet they still failed to find exactly what they were looking for. "Hm...maybe this really should be your choice. I might be getting in the way." "No! It don't think its like that. I'm pretty sure we just haven't found one that was perfect yet .I don't want to get one that isn't perfect." "You're horribly romantic, you know. It's quite admirable~" Chitose smiled at Hina and patted him on the back. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find the perfect ring, no matter how long it takes! Anyways, I'd better get this dress to Momo, so I'll see you later~" Hina waved to her as she left, sighing heavily. XX
On his walk home, he went over in his mind the different rings they'd seen that day. All of them were beautiful, some with diamonds or colored gems, others with words engraved in the metal. But none of them seemed right. Well this is frustrating. Hina groaned inwardly, and out of the corner of his eye, a sparkle caught his attention. Turning to look in the store window, a beautiful ring sat in the display, shining and perfect - exactly what he wanted. XX
Back at Makoto's apartment, Hinata set the groceries he'd gotten on the counter and hid the ring in the bottom of his bag, wrapping the small box in his scarf to protect it. I finally found one! He grinned happily to himself as he hung their suits in the closet and put the groceries away, arguing with himself over what to make for dinner. He decided om mabo tofu, one of the few things he could make. Now I have to decide on when to actually propose...shit. XX

Pffft! 'A sparkle caught his eye'. Oh gosh it makes me laugh! I couldn't find another way to write that, but still, it sounds so freaking stupid and hilarious! Also, I didn't elaborate on what the engagement ring looks like because ~~I don't know yet~~ I want to describe it when Hinata finally proposes to his lover~

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

The moment when Makoto arrived at the convenient store, the very first thing he saw was how crowded it was, as customers filled the whole shop and Arata with another employee didn't even seem to have a moment to take a quick breath. They expressed their relief the moment they saw Makoto, but was too busy to even say it to him. Quickly got change into his uniform, Makoto went behind the counter and assisted the two with the selling.

Hours seemed to pass in a flash and the rush hour seemed to had ended. Flopping down on a chair, Makoto sighed in relief. Arata then thanked Makoto and his colleague for their helps and gave them a can of coffee. When his shift ended, Makoto excused himself and left the shop. It's already 5:00 PM and he guessed that his beloved must already be home for now. He was thinking of stopping by a supermarket to get some ingredients for dinner.

"Mako-kun?" A familiar voice spoke up from behind him as he walked, gaining his attention.

"Shige-san?" Makoto was surprised to see his ex-lover, but smiled in greeting to him, "It's been a while. I never thought I would see you here."

"Me either." Shigeru also smiled calmly, which makes Makoto felt at peace, knowing that he wasn't troubled by the fact that they aren't together now. "Are you free? Do you want to have some coffee?"

"Sure." Makoto nodded as he they both entered a cafe shop nearby. Over a cup of warm coffee, they talked about a lot of thing. Like how Makoto had got on with Hinata in their relationship, how Makoto took the entrance exam and his doing in the past month. Shigeru has been busy with work ever since they parted after the kidnapping incident so they hadn't met. Somehow, Makoto felt that he can trust Shigeru. Just because they aren't lovers anymore didn't mean that that they couldn't be friend, could they?

Before parting, Shigeru asked Makoto if he had found the happiness that he has always longed for, in which he replied with a sincere smile and a 'yes' from the bottom of his heart.

When he's back at his apartment, he saw that Hinata was making some mapo tofu. "I'm back." He happily greeted as he took off his shoes and hugged his beloved from behind.

The night before Jintan's wedding, both Makoto and Hinata were tagged along by the soon-to-be groom and a couple of his friends to a bar, where they drank the night away. Both of them managed to remain sober after a cup or two, but Makoto didn't last very long though. And the next day, they fulfilled their roles as Jintan's groomsmen and couldn't be happier for the newlywed couple.

Makoto doesn't care what future may entail from now on, but now, all he could see in his eyes is happiness.

And so, it has been four years since Makoto and Hinata become a couple again.

During these years, many events have happened, but most of them are happy ones. They have experienced all emotions and very normal things that every normal couple would experience. There were times of hardship, there were moments they felt like they want to give up. But with side by side, they have managed to overcome all odds. And remained in love passionately, as if it was only yesterday that they found each other.

They decided to live permanently at Makoto's apartment in the end, a decision that Hikaru welcomed with joy. Makoto has managed to enroll Tokyo University along with Chitose. After his graduation, he took up a job as a designer and freelance artist. Chitose were hired by Shigeru to be his assistant and were engaged with her boyfriend, Akira. His mom Risa would visit them often and she was happy to see how well they are together. Shigeru had also found someone who was meant for him and they are on honeymoon for a week in England.

In the end, everyone has managed to found their own happiness.

"So, how do I look? It's really been a long while since I put it on again. I hope I'm not gaining any weights." Said Makoto as he stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself wearing the suit they bought back when Jintan and Momo got married. They have preserved it well so it looks just as good as new. Tomorrow is a big day - Makoto's best friend wedding and he must make sure that both of them looks just as nice as the couple, like how Chitose had inquired them to.

"I just hope Chii-chan isn't up to something during the ceremony. I mean, she did ask me to become her maid of honor and almost force me to dress up in a frilly gown after all. I should be cautious." Makoto chuckled as he said to his beloved.

"You look very handsome, and don't worry about weight, it doesn't change how beautiful you are~" Hinata said, kissing the back of Makko's head while silently struggling with his own bow tie. He grinned to himself once he'd managed to finally tie it. "And I don't think it's a bad idea to suspect Chi-san, though I personally wouldn't mind seeing you in a wedding gown..." Hina laughed as Makoto glared at him. "Hey, I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Well, sort of." XX
It only took about five minutes more for them to be ready, and Hinata held his lover's hand tightly as they walked down the stairs and toward the white hybrid car they'd purchased a few months earlier. It was still new, and Hina drove it every chance he got - which wasn't nearly as much as he wanted, since everything they ever needed was within walking distance of their apartment. "This is a perfect time to drive in the car, so that we can make sure our suits stay clean~ And because I love driving it. Shiro's so pretty!" At some point the car had become female, and now, was apparently named Shiro. XX
Hina and Makko chatted about different things while they drove to the wedding location - mostly about Chitose and her soon-to-be-husband - and they arrived at the place in about twenty minutes. It was a lovely building, an abandoned church that had been transformed into a popular setting for getting photos taken, and (of course) for weddings to be held. Hinata found a parking spot and rushed around to Makoto's door, opening it for him, and grinning almost seductively. "Allow me, sir~" Locking the car from over his should, he tangled his fingers with Makko's and led his lover into the beautiful venue. XX
When the walked in, the first thing that stood out was simply how much detail had been put into decorating. Hundreds of white flowers hung from the ceiling, while food-filled tables on either side of the room held vases of white lilies. White and black streamers hung in careful rows across the room and every chair had its own ribbon. "Wow, they definitely went all-out with decorating this place. It does look quite beautiful though." Hina said, smiling. XXXX
Since it was a western-styled wedding, Hinata and Makoto walked down the aisle together as the best man and the maid of honor. Some members of the crowd were a bit confused, but they ignored the odd looks and simply focused on the ceremony. Everyone's breath was taken away when Chitose came into view. She was dressed in a long, white dress, adorned with beads and lace, her hair long and flowing down her back, a grin visible beneath the veil. XX
Several people were in tears by the time the vows had been completed, and some even swooned as the newly-wed couple kissed each other, disappearing into their own world. Hinata looked toward his own lover with a smile, but didn't return to his side until everyone was dismissed. The bride and groom disappeared to change out of their oh-so-formal outfits, and music began to play, coaxing a multitude of couples onto the dancefloor. "I would love to ask you for a dance, but I get the feeling Chii-san's going to want your opinion on whatever dress she's decided to wear for the reception." XX
Holding out his arm in a gentlemanly manner, Hinata smiled lovingly to Makoto, and the two headed off in the direction their friend had disappeared to. XX

Ahaha, the only reason why I made the car white is because my mom has a white Prius and its hard to see the dirt on it, so it always looks really clean~ Also, sorry if I kind of took over all the wedding stuff .I've always wanted to write a wedding scene and pretty much let out all my ideas in my post, heh.

【 Vanilla Sky : Mashiro Ayano 】

【 Face Claim : Mochizou Ooji | Tamako Market 】

Makoto was amazed at how magnificent the whole wedding's ground has turned out to be. Of course, it was his suggestion to turn the whole wedding into white after all. Elegant and humble, not too flashy, but still retain an amount of flamboyance. Other stuff such as finding the perfect wedding gown, choosing the rings, etc were most of his ideas. After watching how it all turned out, Makoto could be certain that he was the best 'maid of honor' in the whole Japan. Somewhere in his heart, he had wished that if he could ever had a real wedding, then it would turn out to be exactly the same too. Though he never let it to concern him too much, knowing how unlikely it's going to happen.

Standing as the only male among the other bridesmaids really made him felt a little out of place, but not too many people seemed to mind it though, since they all know how much Makoto and Chitose are closed with each other, so much that she wouldn't accept anyone to be her maid of honor except for him.

As Chitose walked gracefully to her husband-to-be who was standing under an arch decorated with lilies with a priest, Makoto couldn't help but letting out a grin. Of course, he had wanted nothing but the best for the friend who had always remained next to him. Knowing of how much of a beautiful couple she and Akira are going to make, he could only imagine that she would be the happiest woman in the world.

Everyone cheered when the vows between her and Akira were made and he couldn't help chuckling when seeing the kiss between them. When the ceremony is done, the newlywed couple made their way back inside to got changed into a more comfortable outfits for the reception. Makoto and Hinata rejoined, and as much as they wanted to enjoy a dance with each other, their friends are waiting inside. Hinata went to where Akira is while Makoto headed for Chitose's room.

The first thing Chitose said to Makoto was how nervous she was but she's glad that everything turned out so well in the end. While helping his best friend to pick a dress, they chatted about what would happen afterward, like where did she and Akira had planned to go to for their honeymoon and when will they move to their new apartment. She was so enthusiastic about all of it that Makoto actually felt kind of jealous.

"Heh, you looked so much like a happy bride with your oh-so-handsome groom that you completely forgot about this 'maid of honor' who had contributed a whole lot for your wedding. I'm so jealous." Makoto said in a teasing manner.

"How could that so? There's only three men who are the most important to me and I definitely couldn't leave you out of that list, could I?" Chitose grinned as she put on her make-up, "The one who should be jealous is me. How could I ever reach the level of lovey-dovey like you guys?"

"Tell me about it." Makoto laughed, "Let's go then, everyone's waiting."

And so, the reception began. The whole church were filled with chatters and laughing, most of them are cheers and blessings from the friends and family of the newlywed couple. When the music is on, the stages were then filled with couples with the groom and bride at the center. While they were apparently the most captivating, there's no doubt that the attention is also turned to Makoto and Hinata. It isn't exaggerating to say that they were the second shiniest couple of the night.

When Chitose threw her bouquet, Makoto was also presented. Though he had managed to stay out of the crazy bridesmaids who were dying just to catch it, somehow it landed right into his hand. Everyone then cheered while Chitose was grinning mischievously. Makoto blushed when that happen but he felt rather happy, nonetheless.

When the reception is over and the guests had all left, Makoto and Hinata were the last to stay behind, along with the couple's family. After giving them his blessing, Makoto made his way to their car first. But Chitose had told Hinata to stay behind for a little bit. "Well, it's the perfect timing now. Have you remember its' location yet?" When she received a yes from her friend, she nodded, "I'm sure that he'll be happy so much that he would fly to cloud nine. But no matter how he reply, stay chill, okay? Good luck. Be sure to call me first thing when he say yes."

Waving to Makoto and Hinata as they drove off, Chitose looked on with happiness in her eyes as she was joined by her husband. She had already found her own happiness, which was more than enough. But if she can also help her friends to be happy too, then what else could she possibly ask?

On the car, Hinata was driving and Makoto stretched his arms, "Whew. What a long night. It's the best night I've ever had." He grinned as he turned to his beloved, "Now that we've done with Chii-chan, finally we can have some golden time for our own, huh?"

It sounds cool, girl xD And it's fine, everything's beautiful :D

When Makoto and Chitose returned, their dates rejoined them, and the crowd applauded momentarily as the four entered the room. Hinata and Makoto caught a lot of attention, nearly as much as the newly-weds, and neither minded. They danced together beautifully and proved to be rather skilled at it. Both Makko and Hina also got to share a dance with Chitose, being her closest friends, and many other couples stopped their own dances to observe. XXX
Hinata couldn't help but giggle as the wedding bouquet landed right in his lover's arms, and Chitose's sly smile didn't escape his attention, though he elected to ignore it for now. With deserts, dancing, cheerful conversations and a multitude of high school stories, the night eventually came to an end. XX
"Hina-kun, I have to talk to you before you leave!" Chitose stood behind them, grinning, and Hinata nodded. "Go ahead without me, I won't be long." He said, kissing Makoto's cheek and turning back to their female friend. Once Makko was out of earshot, she went straight to the proposal. "Yes, I remember. And I'll call you as soon as I have time, I'm not promising that I'll call right after, as I might be busy~" Chitose cracked up laughing at Hina's comment, and waved as he and Makoto disappeared down the road, the sky clear of any clouds and a plethora of stars shining brightly in the night. XXXXX
"Whew. What a long night. It's the best night I've ever had. Now that we've done with Chii-chan, finally we can have some golden time for our own, huh?" Hinata returned his lover's grin. "Definitely. Though for right now, I have someplace I want to show you before we head home. Tonight's perfect because you can actually see the stars for once~" Driving toward the suburbs of Tokyo, the streetlights became more spread out and the number of passing cars diminished, until it was only them, the headlights of their Prius, and whatever light was being reflected off of the full moon. "Come on~" XXX
Parking the car off the side of the row and opening Makoto's door for him with a goofy smirk, Hina took his lover's hand and led the shorter male up a thin path through the trees, with nothing but the moonbeams poking through the leaves to light the way. Wildflowers were growing scattered about the path and the trees were filled with blossoms, with just enough light for everything to be seen - and admired. "Its only a bit further, but watch your step." XX
The path grew a bit steeper, but not too much so, though Hinata still held Makoto around the waist just to be sure he didn't fall. Reaching the end of the path, Hina spread his arms out in front of him as if to show off the view, and rightly so. From where they were, every bit of Tokyo could be seen: every light in every building as far as the eyes could see, though it was still distant enough to where the city lights weren't too overwhelming or distracting. The full moon and millions of stars could be seen as clearly as the sun on a cloudless day, shining and forming many different constellations in the sky. XX
"I wanted to bring you here for two reasons. One being because of the view and how you can actually see the stars from here, the other...well..." As his sentence trailed off, Hinata took a deep breath and ignored the fact that his hands were shaking. Sinking to one knee, he pulled the box from his coat pocket and held it out to Makoto, giving him the most awkward and hopeful smile he could. "Makoto, will you do me the honor of being my husband?" XXX

Makoto tilted his head in slight surprise upon hearing that Hinata was intending to take them to somewhere else, not riding home straightaway. He secretly wondered where they are headed to this late in the night, but then just brush it off with a smile, "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I didn't want to get home for now too. But where are we going anyway? I'm curious." He asked, though Hinata seemed to just signaling that it's going to be a surprise.

After a while driving through the city to the suburb area in the outskirt of the town. The journey was rather long, but it was nice to get away from the bustle city for a more peaceful and quiet place. Gazing out at the car's window, Makoto could see that the farther they got away from the city's light, the starrier the night sky seemed to be. It was really beautiful, indeed.

Then, Hinata finally parked his car at a hill of sort. He then led Makoto through the steep path to the top, where the first thing that come into his sight was a huge cherry blossom tree. And when they're finally the top of the hill, a magnificent view were opened up in front of his eyes. The stars were shining brilliantly on the night sky and the whole view of the luxuriant Tokyo filled with colorful lights were breath-taking. It was truly a lucky thing to be able to see a scenery like this.

"Wow..." Makoto grinned while standing at the edge of the hill's cliff to enjoy the scenery. "Why did you know of a place like this but never take me here before?" He asked. In the next few moments, while feeling the night breeze over his face and gazing at the stunning view in front of him, Makoto quietly thought about the journey he had been through his whole past life and the present life.

True enough, since the moment they came to light by the hands of their Father, they know that they've already meant for each other. There was never a second that they were away from each other presences and they've always remained close to each other, more than anyone. It was a tragic that they have to parted for centuries, only to meet again in this new life as normal humans. Their love had gone through many storms. But in the end, they still managed to find their way back together. A bond that could never be cut.

Then, Makoto's attention was turned to Hinata again as he turned his back to look at his beloved. He was already on his knee and holding out a small box. Makoto's breath was almost taken away in total surprise when he proposed to him. Although it was supposed to be a romantic moment, he couldn't help letting out a chuckle. "If I am the one who was proposed to then you supposed to call me your wife, baka." And right after, the most sincere smile of Makoto were drew on his face, "Of course I will, Hina-kun. Let's continue with our journey for eternity."

And then, he quietly held out his hand as Hinata put the diamond ring on his finger. It was beautiful and perfectly fit him. This is the proof that no matter what happen in the future, they will never be apart.

Both of them stood together at the cliff as the night wind blew again, carrying the cherry blossom petals to the end of the horizon.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with tests the past 2 days T.T

And so, under the ever-shining starry sky and the magnificent view of the nightlife in Tokyo in front of their eyes, two souls are now merged together as one. Feeling the warmth within their hands, Hinata and Makoto both know that after so many years of parting and looking out for each other, they now have united. The life on Earth will never be as easy as it once was in Heaven, but as long as they are together, they knew they will overcome all odds.

What is awaited for them in the future shall remained unknown. But they now have found each other, nothing can ever separated them. There's no demon who can tear them apart. There's no envious angel who can shatter their bond. They will go on forever with their mortal lives, until they finally reunited once again in Heaven. With the watchful eyes of their Father from above, along with their friends and loved ones around them, they will never fall.

This, is just another beginning of the journey that will last even longer than eternity.
