xShine: I was bored and I just finished Angel Beat! I hope I didn't make it sad. :/ NAAAAAAOI-KUN! This guy seriously needs more love.

Hinata: And remember, Angel Beats! doesn't belong to her! :)

xShine: Yep, thanks Hinata.

Hinata: Yeah, let's get on with it now. I wanna see if he can actually act sweet.

Oneshot: Promises

"Watanabe Hashi."

I turn around, hearing my name to see, him. I smile, "Ayato Naoi-kun?"

"Tell me, what's your reason of being here? What are your regrets?" he asks, curiously.

"Well...," I started, smiling gently at him, "when I was a kid, I met this boy while I was playing outside who always tried hard to impress his father. He tried and tried. Then one day, he and his brother were playing and...," she looked away, "he died."

"W-Watanabe-san..." Ayato Naoi stutters, not believing what he had just heard.

She laughs weakly, "I'm so pathetic, huh? All I wanted..." she stopped, "whenever I had the chance to pass by his house, he always seemed lonely. I... I just wanted to tell him he wasn't alone. He never noticed me. And when I decided to tell him...he died."

"You're right. I wasn't alone. I was thinking foolishly. I'm sorry for making you suffer that time...Ha-chan."

Said girl was shocked, remembering the nickname he gave her that time, "Y-you're him?"

"Hi. I just noticed, why are you playing by yourself?" A young Watanabe Hashi asks.

"Because I want to play alone."

"Don't you feel lonely?"

The boy thought for a few seconds, "Sometimes." he muttered.

"Well, I'm Watanabe Hashi. Would you like to play with me?"

"Sure, Ha-chan."

They had alot of fun, it felt like it was just the two of them. The young girl just noticed she never asked for his name while she was laying in her bed.

He smiled sadly, "Yes. Sorry for not telling you my name that time. I wish we got to know each other in the real world and not in the afterlife."

She chuckled gently, "Yeah. Ne, Ayato-kun, Arigato." she whispered.

After hearing this, he hugged her. "Y-you're not going to d-dissapear, are you?"

"Well, I have no more regrets. Thank you."

"Promise me one thing then..." He started.

"What is it?" she asked, holding on for a few more seconds.

"Promise me we'll marry each other in the next life." he whispered.

After hearing this, Watanabe Hashi's heart exploded with happiness. "H-hai. I love you Ayato-kun." she whispers as he hugs her. He didn't wanna waste any time left he had with her. As soon as he had whispered "I love you too, Ha-chan..." he couldn't feel her warmth anymore. "I love you too Ha-chan. I love you too..." There's a small chance they'll meet again in the next life but you know what? They'll make it work. They promised.

Hinata: ...Wow, you can actually be sincere, Naoi.

Naoi: Shut up.

xShine: That's all. Hope you liked this short story! :)
