Hey guys! This is new story! I hope you like it!

Don't worry I'll try my best putting new chapters alternately on both my story.

This is an AU!


It's already almost been a year and a half passed all of the third years have already graduated from Raimon Junior High and went to different schools, and now Shindou, Kurama, Hayami and the other former second years are now third years. Until a few more months will graduate from being junior high to high school, also it's almost been a year and a half since me and Takuto started dating and became a couple. I could still remember it at the back of my mind like it was yesterday.

FLASHBACK

The sakura tree's were in full bloom, I was behind the soccer building I was staring at the sakura tree's were petal's were falling entranced by their beauty. I was there since I told Shindou to go there since I have to say something important. While I was waiting for him I tried to catch the falling petals with my hand like a kid would do and some petals fell on my hair I was having so much fun being silly and being childish that I didn't notice that I wasn't alone anymore until I heard him speak.

"Having fun Kirino?" and I quickly turn around to see Shindou looking at me amusingly. I blushed in embarrassment and looked down at the ground and he walk closer to me. He put his hand on my head and took off the petals that fell on my head and hair. It was quite for a while until Shindou broke the silence.

"So... why did you call me here?" Shindou asked while I was still looking down the blush on my face dyed down but there were still left. I couldn't answer him since my brain was in cloud nine at what was happening, Shindou looked at me with contemplation when he asked another question.

"Hey, Kirino... Why aren't we calling each other by our names?" my eyes widen at the question and look up at him.

"I don't know... I mean... I'm just waiting for you to call me by my name so that I could call you by your name too..." I answered hesitantly.

"Then shall we change that? Ranmaru" Shindou said. I looked at him and he was smiling and my heart starts thumping and I'm sure I was blushing.

"E-Eh! Shi-! Shin-!" he put his finger on my lips silencing me.

"Takuto, it's Takuto Ranmaru" every time hear him say my name I felt like my heart would explode.

"Ta-Takuto" I quietly said but enough for him to hear, I wasn't making eye contact with him anymore, to embarrassed to look at him.

"Very good" he warmly smiled at me which made my blush intensify, whether he's noticing it or not he's not voicing it out.

"So why did you asked me to come here?" Shindou asked again now that I'm not dazed. And my heart started beating faster and faster till it felt like it was going to burst. I took a deep breath and became serious looking him in the eyes.

"Shindou I.. the truth is...from the very beginning.." I stuttered making him confused not understanding what I'm saying and took a deep breathe again and said in a serious voice.

"Shindou, the truth is ever since we were kids I liked you as a friend at first it's because of pity since you were someone who was in need of protection and was always at my back then as we slowly grew up you've slowly change and now could walk beside me and now you're a stronger person than me that you're walking in front me" I slowly tried to explain.

"But as we slowly grew up my feelings changed for you, when and how I do not since we've been with each other ever since we were little kids. From protectiveness and encouraging you to being proud and happy from your change and now I admire and I I..." I was starting to hyperventilate and licked my lips and started to breathe in and out to calm my nerves. While Shindou's eyes were wide and was starting to get on where this is going.

"I like- no I LOVE you Shindou!" I shouted at his face my eyes were closed my whole body started shaking there was quietness for a while and I looked up to see Shindou's reaction which made me scared. Shindou's face was in utter disbelief.

"Ranmaru I..."

END OF FLASHBACK

Practice had already ended and I was already outside of the soccer club leaning against the wall, I was waiting for Shindou since they were going to discuss something important.

"Hhhmmm... I wonder what's taking them so long?" Looking at the door, it's already been long since the sun was starting to set and started getting dark. The door then opened and coach Endou and Shindou came out.

"Are you sure about this Shindou?" Coach Endou asked seriously.

"Yes I am coach" Shindou answered seriously no doubt in his voice.

"You don't have to answer yet there's still some time left think about it carefully after all this is about your future" coach Endou insisted.

"I understand coach" and both bid they're goodbye. Shindou started walking towards me smiling.

Sorry for waiting" Shindou apologized taking my hand which made me blush.

"It's alright" I said reassuring him tightening my grip on his hand as he tightened too. And we both started walking outside the school.

"So.." I started repeating what I heard from their conversation.

"So?" Shindou repeated.

"So what did you and coach Endou talked about?" I asked curiously since it look like it was a very serious conversation, Shindou looked shocked and looked forward not meeting me in the eyes.

"Takuto?" I called

"Ranmaru" Shindou called making me look at him.

"Can you promise me one thing?" Shindou asked seriously with a tint of nervousness.

"Sure what is it?" I asked innocently after all I'll do anything for Shindou's happiness.

"That we'll always be together forever" Shindou said seriously and I looked at him amused and smiled.

"Of course Takuto anything for your happiness" I said enthusiastically, I was so happy that everything was going perfectly. I thought I would be together with Shindou and that nothing could separate us. I was so happy that we will have a good... future.

'Or so I thought'

...

It was already weekends and I was hanging at Takuto's house reading one of his books or sometimes playing with Aria. Takuto was called by his parents so I was alone in his room, until I got thirsty and decided to go drink for a water.

While I was walking in the hallway, I was thinking of the strange behaviors of Takuto. It's been a few weeks already when he started acting weird. Although he always says that he was fine and nothing's wrong I could easily tell something was bothering him I just wish he would tell me, so that I could help him ease his pain.

As I was passing down the hallway I passed by the room and the door was a little open and I heard voices talking.

'Takuto? And are those his parents voices' I unconsciously stopped to hear what they were talking about.

"Are you really sure about this Takuto?" His mother asked worriedly.

"Why don't you think about it more carefully?" Insisted his father.

"Mom dad no means no" Takuto insisted at his parents but there was a hesitation in his voice.

"If your so sure about it then why aren't you sending a refusal letter to them? It's already been a few months since they've sent that letter to you" his father countered and everything became silent.

'Refusal letter? What is Takuto's father talking about?' before I could hear any more of their conversation I silently walked away and went back to Takuto's room my thirst.

As I was going back to his room I was contemplating the things that I heard from their conversation and the strange actions Takuto was doing these past few weeks. As I entered the room I sat on the couch for a few minutes before standing up and walked around the room, I went to his desk and saw an envelope that was already opened.

My heart started beating faster and faster since even though Takuto's my boyfriend does not mean I should poke myself in his privacy. But as much as I want to deny it I couldn't bring myself up to just let it go. I look at the door to see if Takuto or anyone else was going to enter and when there wasn't I quickly opened the envelope and read it. I gasped and my eyes widen.

It was a scholarship offer in Spain, although this isn't the first time that he received a scholarship in other countries hardly no, ever since he was in first year junior high he already received many kinds of scholarship both in piano and soccer, but he refused it since all of it was either piano or soccer and knowing Takuto he could never choose between the two he both love it with his life. And now this offer was offering him both scholarship in piano and soccer no wonder the adults were trying to insist on him to do it. I put the letter back in the envelope and put it in the desk and sat down.

Even I was shocked that that Takuto was refusing such a good offer. Then I remember what Takuto's father said.

'Why hasn't Takuto send a refusal letter?' knowing him he would have done that as soon as possible, but I could understand him this is the first time someone offered him both.

Then a thought suddenly struck me and my heart ached. The door opened and Takuto came in I looked at him and I saw the conflicting emotions in his eyes I can tell that he really really wants to do it and my heart ached again. I took a deep breath I stand up and walked towards him when he sat on the chair near the piano.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" I asked quietly touching his clothes shoulders, when he turn around I smiled at him and he forced a smile back, which made me feel guilty.

"No, nothing's wrong" he answered shaking he's head. And I tried to hold my grimace, I let go of his shoulder turn around and quietly spoke.

"Ah! Sorry Takuto I remember I have an errand to do" I lied wanting to have a fresh mind to think things clearly.

"Yeah sure OK" Takuto answered a little dazed obviously disturbed about something and I silently went out of the room.

Once I was outside I quickly run away with no direction. I run, run, and run, and just keep on running all the while my head was down low with tears flowing down from my eyes.I stopped once I got tired I tried to catch my breath once I was done I look at my surrounding and realized that I was at the Inazuma Tower I sat at the bench and rested for a while.

I knew Shindou was special and just needed a little help and push to be recognized but as he started to get better and better until I felt like I was slowly being left behind. I tried my best to catch up to be on par with him but no matter what I do I could never reach him, until one day he was already unreachable and I could only stare at his back. I was angry, mad, hopeless, discouraged at myself for being left behind, but most of all I was jealous. Jealous at my best friend at my boyfriend.

Takuto looks satisfied with our relationship while I was stupidly happy. I was afraid that he was going to reject me but he said that he wants to try it and I'm glad everything worked out in the end. I was so stupid to do that and now I feel like a dead weight to him to his dreams to his future.

No more will I hold Takuto back. I stood up and started walking.

'Anything for his happiness'
