2 [ T W O ]

I ran away without looking back. I did not stop even when Saito-sensei called me . I'm such a coward. Why did I not say anything when Sora-kun confessed his feelings to me. When it was always my dream for him to notice me. To love me they way I loved him... secretly.

A strong hand abruptly grabbed my right arm and turned me around. Please be Sora-kun. Disappointment flashed on my eyes when I saw that it was Saito-sensei. He engulfed me in a tight hug and he caressed my back. "It's alright, Hinata." I cried harder upon hearing this words from Saito-sensei. Why is he so good to me even when I always reject him?

I broke the hug first and stared at him with guilt written all over my face but he gave me a reassuring smile. "Since the beginning, I know that you don't love me, Hinata. And you never will. It was me who forced you in this relationship and I'm very sorry." He held both of my hands and stared at my eyes intently. "Go. Tell him the truth. You don't have to worry about me because I'm letting you go. Be happy with him Hinata or else I will snatch you back again." He smiled but I know that it was a forced one. "Thank you so much, Saito-sensei."

I hastily ran back to where I left Sora-kun but he was already gone. No. Where is he? I looked for him everywhere but I can't find him. Rooftop. Yes, maybe he's in the rooftop.

I kept on running even when I was out of breath. I did not stop until I reached my destination. "Sora-kun!"

He was sitting on one of the benches while looking at the sky as tears flowed from his eyes. When he heard me call his name, he turned to look at me with a surprised expression on his face. "H-Hinata. W-What are you-." I did not let him finish his sentence as I hugged him tightly. I wish we could do this forever but I still have something to say to him so I let him go and we looked at each other's eyes.

"Do you know how much I love you? Do you know how many times I've dreamed to hugged you like that? Do you know how much courage I've mustered just to greet you on your birthday and to give you those chocolates and guitar pick awhile ago?" His eyes widened from my confession but I continued. "I have secretly longed for your love, Sora-kun. Even when I know-."

I abruptly stopped talking when he suddenly kissed me on my lips. "I love you too, Hinata. I promise to be yours until the end of my life. Will you be mine too?"

"Yes."

We sealed our love for each other with a kiss. I have never thought that this day would come but it did.

Sora-kun and I looked at the scenery before us as the sun slowly sets on the west.

I will forever cherish this moment.

I, Hinata Kashitarou, promise to love and to cherish Sora Suzuki until the end of my life.

"I am yours and you are mine Hinata... forever."
