Wow I am on a roll today wow the ideas are just flowing! I've always wanted to write something like this, Chiaki's Point of view of that promise he made. I am sure this has been done but whatever because yolo. I listened to 'The Scientist' by Coldplay while I wrote this. Um, I dunno how much I like the result, I may go back and fix it. For now, have this.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

"I'll wait for you in the future."

That's what I said. I said I'd wait for her. I promised I'd wait for her. And I've kept that promise for so long. Is it stupid of me, to keep a promise that was always meant to be broken? Probably. How can I wait for her in a time where she's been dead a hundred years? It was a stupid promise, and I know it. I regret it. But tell me you would have done something different, seeing the one person you love more than anything crying like that, knowing she isn't going to get chance to see you again. Tell me you wouldn't have made a promise like that.

I'll find her again. I know I will. She said she'd come running, and I don't doubt that somewhere, in the past, Makoto is running as fast as she can. Hell, she's probably the one who designed our leaping devices. Creepy paradoxes aside, that'd be really cool.

I know Makoto is running. I also know that she'd get mad if she found out I doubted her and came running back, instead of waiting like I said I would.

But damned if I'll sit around here doing nothing when I could be seeing her smile again.
