My name is Fujino Shizuru, I am 18 years old and currently in search of my best friend and not-so-secret love Kuga Natsuki.

"…. Ne, Mai I can't come Karaoke tonight, I've got plans with someone so err ..Sorry?"

"Hm…. Someone eh? …. Someone as in Kaichou someone? Hehehehe"

"O-OI!"

Ah, that dear voice could only belong to one person.

"…. Shizuru's just a friend!"

Oh dear, my heart seems to me breaking. Be brave Shizuru, we're still in school. Okay deep breathe, deep breathe, now smile.

Ring ring

A phone call, a ring that pulls me out of my thoughts. Who could it be?

"Hello?"

…. Silence. I try again.

"Hell—"

"Hey Shizuru, it's me."

A smile, Natsuki.

"Of course it is, how may I help you Natsuki?"

"Erm … I heard that you accepted that position at your father's company"

"Of course, Father is ill now, I should do what I can to help him out, ne Natsuki?"

"Yeah, but isn't that in … America?"

"Well, I'm graduating in a few weeks, so I don't think it'll get in the way of anything"

Silence

"Natsuki?"

"Huh? Oh right erm, yeah"

"Is there anything else you need from me Natsuki? It's getting awfully late, and I'm rather tired"

"Oh erm …. Do you have anytime right now?"

"Now Natsuki? It's rather late, and I don't think –"

"Please?"

A plea from my dear Natsuki, how could I refuse?

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Ah, the garden, it brings back lots of memories. I slowly pace my way to the middle of the garden, brushing my fingers lightly on the flowers as I pass by.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't do this anymore. It's just so hard …. Shizuru, I'm sorry, but …."

My world was slowly closing in on me, with every heartbeat, she was fading further and further away from me.

"…. But I can't go on pretending. So please Shizuru .…"

Everything froze in place. The light was returning to my world. She needed me, she really, really needed me.

"…. Please don't leave me, stay with me, please!"

I smiled, a real smile as tears cascaded down my face. For four years nobody had made me cry let alone seen me cry, yet here I was exposing myself to her. Everything was about her, because of her.

She pulled me into an embrace, body shivering from holding in her own tears.

"Please Shizuru, say something …. Anything, just say something."

She sounded so desperate. Am I really ready to go back to her? I can't, I can't she doesn't love me, she doesn't know what she's doing to me, she's just not used not having me around. She just ….

"I love You Shizuru …."

She whispered into my ear with a shaking voice, tears now falling down her face onto my neck.

"Natsu –"

"No, please Shizuru, I really mean it, I need you, I love you, don't leave me."

A smile, a plea, those green pools that I always drown in, filled with want, need …. Love?

"Natsuki …. I love you too, I always have."

A bright future awaits me, my world no longer constricting, I can breathe now.

She looks at me with confusion.

"Does that mean that you're staying?"

A laugh, a kiss sealing our unspoken promise.

"I'll stay here forever Natsuki, even in death, I'll be with you."
