I wish I told you how I felt earlier. Then I wouldn't have to deal with this heartbreak

I'm so stupid… I should have told you my feelings instead of being fake

Even with the many layers of clothing, Tokiya was still cold. Cold, lonely, and lost inside as he walked the icy streets with fluffy snowflakes swirling around him and traffic noises that faded into the background. It brought back so many memories with the person he was in love with. Was… His special someone was gone now, and Tokiya was left with the regrets and words he couldn't say before. Sighing, he could see his breath in white mist and paused to look up at the snowy gray sky, darkening as the sun lowered rapidly. It's like Heaven remembers this day, too, Tokiya thought dryly before walking on. Gradually, Tokiya reached his destination with slow and deliberate steps. Sunset Cemetery.

Lighten up, Tokiya! You're too stiff. Echoes of that sweet, cheerful voice that would brighten any of his days will be forever silenced, his glowing smile that made Tokiya's own lips to twitch upwards in response never to be seen, and his loving personality that melted his heart won't warm him anymore. Stopping at the grave, he stood in heavy silence and remember the day of the accident exactly a year ago. They were fighting about something small, something so unimportant, or so he thought. He'd never predicted that it would force is love to run outside and into the snow with tears streaming down his face, running across the street and collide with a car that wasn't able to stop in time because of the slippery road. Tokiya had followed him in exasperation, which quickly grew in concern, and was there when he heard that terrible screeching sound of tire and saw that terrified face of his precious when the car hit his body with a sick thud. The rest was a blur but one moment stood out, that would leave him vulnerable and bare, was when he held the one person he would throw away his life for whispered, "I'm sorry Tokiya. I'm sorry. Forgive me for leaving you. Don't be sad. Don't cry. I love you, I always have. Please don't forget me." Then he was gone, gone before he could even respond.

I love you… Those three words that Tokiya didn't have the courage to say, and even now, it hurts to say it. But today, it will change. He promised his friends, STARISH and Nanami, that he would say it.

And as he stood in front of the grave of Ittoki Otoya, he whispered, " I love you, too" with a single tear slipping down his cheek.

Just as the sun sets…
