Heyy guyys~ Okay, so this story is set a week after Usui left for England.

She Could

She couldn't.

Misaki just couldn't accept the fact that Takumi had really left for England a week ago.

Everyone seemed to have moved on, it was as though she was the only person that was unable to.

Misaki couldn't understand why she felt so lost. She had never realised that Takumi had always been the one that rescued her whenever she was feeling helpless, but instead of thanking him, Misaki had always shunned him away. But… in the end, Takumi would still come to her rescue when she needed help.

Tears welled up in her already red-from-crying eyes as Misaki slowly fell asleep, thinking…

Takumi… is it really my fault that I just can't move on?

The next morning, Misaki woke up only to find a letter on her bedside table. On the front of the envelope were the words: To Misaki, written in this very familiar handwriting.

Misaki carefully opened the envelope and pulled out the letter.

Her eyes glistened with tears as she read the contents of the letter.

Dear Misaki,

By the time you read this letter, it would probably have been a while since I left for England. During my last visit to your house, I requested Minako-san to hand you this letter when you seemed sad.

Misa-chan, please do not shed tears for me, as I know you will, for I am not in the least worth your tears. Instead, please smile that sweet smile of yours that always makes me feel so helpless when I see it. Please do that for me, will you Misa-chan? I may be being selfish right now, but please wait for my return, for I know that our love is forever.

Your perverted outer-space alien,

Usui Takumi

Misaki held the letter to her chest and hugged it tightly but carefully so as not to crumple it and its beautiful contents. She smiled, not a fake smile that she would use to assure her mother and Suzuna that she was alright, but a smile that Misaki revealed only to Takumi, and Takumi only.

This time, she could.

This time, Misaki could smile.
