Here's chapter two. :)

MizuneMinamiki: Thanks for catching that mistake. It's supposed to be "Nobody was listening so Piko was relived."


Piko sighed with relief. Len still remembered him. Yes, Len was that one person he really wanted to see once more. They had stood under that one cherry blossom tree with it's petals raining down on them. Their eyes were locked onto one another's eyes. That was the moment when Len had smiled. It was a sincere smile full of joy and happiness. Piko still remembered it all. Did Len remember?

"Len...do you remember that day..." Piko started.

"That day we stood under the tree with cherry blossoms raining down on us. Yes I do."

Piko was filled to the rim with happiness. "Len! I missed you!" He cried while giving Len a hug.

Len laughed at Piko's obvious joy. "How about you stop at my house after school and we'll talk about life?" Piko smiled. "Of course."

...

(After school)

Len and Piko walked out of school together holding each other's hand. They laughed while they walked. Anybody looking would think they were living the most happiest moments of their lives which they were.

On their way to Len's house, they stopped under a cherry tree like the one in the past. Memories flowed into their minds at the same time.

(memory)

Their gazes were locked on each other. Pink petals rained around them. Their hands were in each other's hands.

"I...umm...Len...I've been meaning to tell you this...but...ummm..." Piko stuttered. He couldn't get those dreaded words out.

Len brought a finger up to Piko's lips. "I know. I feel the same way." Piko looked away with an obvious blush on his face. Suddenly, Piko started laughing.

"If I had known you felt the same way then maybe I would have said 'I love you' already"

Len smiled back. "I know."

(memory ends)

Len and Piko look at other with a glance that meant they knew and remembered that moment.

"That moment was magical." Piko whispered.

Len agreed. "You made me smile and change who I was. No longer was I the scared shy boy. You made me happy and smile. You were the one who I felt comfortable around."

"Same here."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Len pulled Piko into a kiss. The first one they've had in a long time. For the first time in a long time, they were truly happy.


Don't worry. Story is not over yet. Still got lots to go.
