Star of light (2)

"Our future?" Misaki was stuttering.

Kanaru smiled. He could see her perfectly.

He got up and sat next to her.

"What do you think of me?" Kanaru asked.

Misaki blushed even more because of that question and because the two of them were so close.

"I…. I think you are an amazing person. You are someone who always thinks of others more than himself, there are not many people who are like you. I also think that you are a person who does everything necessary to do what is proposed, you are always sure of what you do and I like the way you are. "

Kanaru sighed.

"You think too highly of me. I am a monster, I told you that will never change." He said.

"That is not true! I've seen your memories when you were in a coma, I know everything about you. I'm sure no one knows more than I do about you. " Misaki said out loud. Her eyes showed determination.

"So, you saw all that..."

"Kanaru-kun, I know that your past is full of mistakes and regrets. But I already told you before: You are no longer that person. Forget all that. "

"Easier said than done. I should have paid more attention to Karui to prevent her from committing suicide, I shouldn't have believed a suspicious call and much less should I have killed Lyn that way. "

Despite the poor visibility of the room, Misaki realized that he was shaking.

Kanaru kept talking.

"I'm scared. Not because of the murders I did, everyone I killed deserved it, I'm scared of myself. As I get stronger, I feel like I'm losing my emotions more and more. I feel that everything I do has to have logic, I feel like a robot. I don't smile naturally, I smile just because I know I have to. I don't want that future..."

At that moment Misaki took his left hand.

"Kanaru-kun, there are two important people in my life." Misaki said with a warm tone.

She continued speaking.

"The first person I met many years ago. He was a person who at first, I thought he was a person who wanted to take advantage of me, but when I got to know him more deeply, I discovered that he was a very honest and courageous person. He was the person who brought me out of a world full of chaos and darkness. He even risked his life to save me, even though he wasn't very strong, he did. He is someone I will never forget because of everything he did for me."

"Misaki-san..." Kanaru felt a pain in his chest, a kind of pain that he had forgotten.

He considered teleporting from this place.

But Misaki didn't give him a chance to do it.

She continued speaking.

"And the other person who is important in my life is someone very special to me. He is someone I met a few months ago. The first time I saw him I thought he was crazy, his look contained hatred and madness, but his look also had goodness, he was someone strange. Then I discovered what he did, he was someone who used all his power for the good of others, that was something that I deeply admired. I always thought of discovering more about that person, before I knew it, I wanted to know everything about him. Then I saw him one day desperate, he was very confused… I helped him find a goal and he found it."

Kanaru was remembering all those moments that she described.

"He changed after that, he changed his way of being, he changed for me. He began to do everything possible to protect people's smiles. Kanaru-kun, he is the person that I most admire and the person for whom I have started to develop feelings for him. No, he is the person I love. That person is someone who shows only to me the weakest side of him."

She took Kanaru's other hand and looked directly into his red eyes.

"Hikari Kanaru, I wish for a future where the two of us are always together and without regrets."

Kanaru never expected her to take the initiative in saying those words.

Then, his world changed.
