The Last Petal
By: JayJay133
He was lost. He had to get to her. She needed to understand how he felt about her. He was needed to see her.
The rose lay limp in his hand. If he did not get there soon, it would die. He had grown an entire rose bush just he could pick the perfect rose for her. But that had been hours ago, and the rose was already beginning to wilt.
A house appeared up ahead. Was it hers? No, it was Shigure-sensei's house. This was disappointing, but it meant that he might be able to get directions from Tohru. He hurried up the hill. He came to the door and doorbell. After what seemed like an eternity, the door opened.
"Hello Hatsuharu-san!" she said cheerfully, as she invited him in. "Are you here to visit Yuki-kun?"
"No", he said hastily. He explained everything to her. By the time he was done, Tohru was staring at the rose in horror. It was doing more than wilting by now. It was beginning to turn brown and petals were starting to fall off. She hastily gave him directions and sent on his way.
By this time Hatsuharu was begginning to wonder if it was too late, that the flower would give out before he got there. He refused to let that happen, and sped up.
There it was! And there she sat, on the balconey reading. As he ran towards her, she looked up.
He held the rose in his hand up...just as the last petal, black and fell to the ground.
They stood there, staring at where the petal had fallen. Then, Hatsuharu jumped onto the balconey and grabbed her hands before she could react.
"I love you! Can't you understand that?" he yelled.
She stared at him. Then she smiled,"I love you too."
