Chapter 1
It was 5:00 in the afternoon, club hour is over, streams of overtime students and youthdom is making a beeline out of the campus. leaving the now silent corridors. Yukinoshita, Yuigahama and Hachiman, are on our way out of the front gates.
"Arigatou Hikki, Yukino-chan, If it wasn't for you Miura wouldn't have stopped pestering me, about Hayama-san's future application" Said Yuigahama while bowing profusely.
"You're very much welcome Yuigahama-san, although please refrain from asking such requests from the both of us; privacy of individuals must not be speculated even if it's pertaining to academics"
said Yukinoshita, who looked to Hikigaya as if asking him to provide an input, which he caught on, nodded and said "What she said"
"You never failed to amaze me of your laziness, Hikilazy-kun" said Yukinoshita.
Hikigaya looked incredulously.
"Yeah Hikki, that was lame" replied Yuigahama.
"Would you rather have a lecture?" Said Hikigaya.
She then dashed away saying her goodbyes.
"Damn woman" said a facepalming Hachiman ' why'd you leave me with her!?' thought Hachiman, he then looked at Yukino, who in turn looked at him.
He coughed.
"A-ano, I t-think it's time for me to go home too, see you tomorrow?" Said Hikigaya, who is currently battling his tiredness
When Yukinoshita didn't respond, Hachiman took it as a sign of agreement and walked away. Slowly.
"Ha-HACHIMAN!"
he stopped. In disbelief.
"Wah-wah-wah-wah..." He gibberished, his blush returning in full force 'where did that come from?!' he thought.
"I know this will be hard to accept, due to your injuries, but would you accompany me till I get home, please?" Said Yukinoshita with hints of pink dusting her cheeks
"Err...okay?" Replied Hachiman, who is still in shock, seemingly forgetting his tiredness.
He heard her sigh of relief. She then composed herself
"Thank you" said Yukinoshita "Now would you, please walk with me."
He obliged and matched her pace.
The walk was silent, albeit very tense, which the unlikely pair seemed to notice. Hachiman tried to distract himself with his thoughts while Yukino wore a forlorn look and stride forward.
some time later beads of sweat appeared in his for head, his hands sweaty due to his clenching, the adrenaline from earlier seems to subside; focusing forward he looked up and noticed that he was at the station where Yukino usually ride to get home, thinking that this is their stop, he announced his farewells, but Yukino who is currently looking downwards, shaked her head and said "Till I get home"
He grunted.
"Why not here?" He asked
Yukino uncharacteristically faced him with a desperate look answered.
"Please..." Yukino said "I'll tell you on the way"
He grunted again, but nonetheless said yes.
After getting tickets they rode the train, right on time before the conductor announced it's departure, they sat by a nearby window, and basked in the afternoon sunlight.
The ride was silent for a minute, the sun now touched the horizon;
Hachiman then stared at Yukino, who is currently reading a book. He faked a cough to grab her attention, which he thinked worked as he saw a glimpse of her eyes staring at him for a brief moment.
"So..." He started
"I love you, I don't want us to be just friends" she said, an he was stunned.
In a span of a few seconds, he was in denial.
Another few, in anger, wording his disagreement saying that she might be wrong after their moment inside the infirmary; which was countered by Yukino's answer of: " No it didn't start there, although it is the catalyst of this... conversation"
Another few in bargaining, saying she deserves better than a rundown loner like him; which was found laughable by Yukinoshita and accepting his words as compliment
And lastly a few minutes on her stop, he accepted, with a genuine smile and saying:"If I predicted this would happen, I would've asked for a date instead of being friends"
And she replying: "Because when you asked that you just wanted to be friends...I knew that will never happen, I knew that we will never be friends, because the moment I laid my eyes on you I knew that you are the person I want to be with" she said
He was flustered, and found interest at the cracks on the floor.
"While I admit, that I might've risk everything we've built so far made me nervous..." She looked straight with a saddened look "...I-I want you to know how much I..."
She stared at him "How much I love you..."
He blushed hard, and stared at the floor with more interest.
She faked cough to grab his attention.
"So..." She started
"Are you going to say something; something of a reply to what I said on the train"
He paused, and smiled, forgetting his flusteredness knowing that he didn't have much to loose, to the girl which he promised everything to.
"Thank you?" He teased, inching closer.
"And?" She said, with the glare, but was inching closer.
"Thank you demon superwoman?" He teased more, now closing in his face to her.
"And..." Her voice now quivering and husky, pupils dilating, cheeks flushing, breathing unstablely.
"I love you, Yukino"
Are the words he wants to say, before a train derailed.
His reflexes took in and pushed Yukino out of harm's way, she looked at him in shock unmoving.
His vision swirled, his breathing staggered.
'Ahh the train hit me, I guess' he thought
His hearing is muffled he didn't notice Yukino screamed to him.
His sense of taste seemed to betray him when he can't feel Yukino's lips upon him giving him breathes with tear
His sense of feeling, craved her touch when she put his hands to her wet cheeks
His sense of smell, scented his blood and her scent mixing together
'Goddamn gods of romcom' he thought
'let me have something to remember her please' he searched as his vision darkened
'PLEASE!' he called out to the heavens
'Please...' his thoughts desperately tried to rack up something.
'5:44' he thought 'THE TIME!'
It was 5:44 in the afternoon, inside a train coming home from Chiba Highschool, when she decidedly show "herself"...no when she decidedly let "herself" be heard.
'A time I mustn't forget.'
'I MUST NOT FORGET!'
'I must remember!'
he then saw black.
