This is my first story so any reviews and advice would be great.
Chapter 1:
"Your Name is?"
To both of them the next few moments seemed to last an eternity, until one of them finally gained the strength to speak.
"Taki Tachibana" Taki replied with a small smile. After hearing the name that her soul seemed to be waiting forever to hear Mitsuha was hit by a wave of emotions that she had not felt clearly in five years.
"Mitsuha Miyamizu" Mitsuha was barely able to respond through the uncontrollable sobbing. With both names spoken out loud the gates holding back their memories burst open as both Taki and Mitsuha were flooded with memories from the countless body swapping, to their final moments before the comet broke apart and fell toward Itomori.
Once the memories stopped flooding in, simultaneously both of them started to move toward each other as if their bodies had minds of their own. When they finally reach each other Taki wrapped his arms around Mitsuha while she cried into his chest releasing years of built up sadness.
"You Idiot. You were supposed to write your name on my hand so I could find you."
Taki could not believe that the something he had been searching for was right here in his arms. "Mitsuha, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I forgot about you all these years." There was nothing more he could say or do until they were both able to get a hold of their emotions.
The sounds of a group of children racing down the other side of the stairwell broke the spell that had found its way over them. "Oh no!" Mitsuha exclaimed making Taki jump. "I am so late for work. I lost track of time." Her frazzled look about being late made Taki start to chuckle.
"I am sure they will understand once you tell them you were late because you ran into someone you used to be able to switch bodies with when you were a teenager." Mitsuha just stared at Taki with her mouth a gap for a moment until she broke out into laughter.
"Right I am sure that anyone would believe a story like that and not think that the person is crazy. I should just call in and let them know that I will not be making it in today due to personal reasons." Mitsuha stated as she began to contact her boss.
As Mitsuha was on the phone Taki could not her a word she said he was so happy that he could be struck by lightning and he wouldn't even notice. For five long years he had been searching for what had been missing from his life not knowing what or where it was, and just like that one train ride had him not only finding what it was but feeling as if he had finally become whole again.
"Well my boss gave me a couple days off to sort through everything. It's starting to get cold out why don't we go somewhere a little bit warmer and catch up on everything. I know a nice cafe nearby."
"Yeah, that sounds nice." As they were getting ready to leave without even a second thought Mitsuha reached out her hand and grabbed Taki's. Taki looked over to see her giving him and big smile. He grabbed her hand back and returned the smile back as they walked down the stairs that would change their lives forever.
