Hello, I am back with another episode of Relife... pulls string yay so yeah this episode is going to be weird and I had no idea where this was going so... yeah.
Kaizaki: Fallen you just gave us the scripts how do we know if we are doing this correctly?
Trust me, you'll fall into it and it may not sound sound but just go with it... it was a very... how do I say it rushed development... by the way it gets weird...
Kaizaki: Don't be silly weird things aren't always the worst things...
Right...
Hishiro: Let's get started Fallen doesn't own any of the relife characters and the plot itself is just Fallen's so... yeah...
Kaizaki walked slowly up the stairway that led to his apartment. His shoes made squishing sounds as it repeatedly hit the pavement. He was drenched from head to toe as the ongoing downpour washed off all the evidence that he carefully planned out. He didn't care that he was wet from the rain. heck, he didn't care that he might catch a cold or maybe hypothermia. He wanted the day to never turn out like this.
When he arrived home, he instantly dropped himself onto his bed. Recollecting his thoughts to the recent events that happened at the park, he couldn't help but feel the need to disappear. He had no energy to fix his life or try to make it better. He was too tired to think of anything else, so with that, he fell asleep. Cold and alone which seemed fitting for him. He had thought to himself as he was trying to make it much better for himself. That way he wouldn't have to get hurt again.
Morning came and as expected, Kaizaki caught a cold. Ah, this is the universe telling me not to bother with interacting with my friends. and my girlfriend. This is my punishment. I should have expected it considering all the signs that were shown in front of me. The whispers behind his back, the obvious lies that were told, the meetings that happened without him, the constant routine of being alone to celebrate anything special or just hanging out in general, and most importantly his girlfriend always being busy or just plain distant to him.
His heart felt heavy as he sneezed for the umpteenth time. He was glad that he had caught a cold, that way he wouldn't have to meet anyone of his so-called friends. Since they have all betrayed Kaizaki he had no reason to contact them. There was that reason and there was also the other one where no one would answer any of his calls or texts not even when something horrible was happening in his life. He wanted to tell them in person than over the phone but it seemed pointless to try to contact them now that he knew their reason for avoiding Kaizaki. So he just called his boss telling her that he wasn't able to come into work due to being ill and needed a week off. His boss complied because she knew that Kaizaki wouldn't lie to him and she knew of Kaizaki's situation way before Kaizaki knew himself.
Once the phone call was finished Kaizaki started coughing violently until something came out but Kaizaki didn't look at it knowing that it was just mucus or phlegm. Once he finished coughing he felt himself becoming lightheaded and dizzy at the same time. That was the universal sign telling him to go rest and he'll deal with last night's events another time. As he closed his eyes he hoped that nothing happens while he sleeps peacefully, knowing that no one would try to bother him. No one would care if he was injured let alone let the wound from being betrayed and outcasted to forever isolation be rubbed into salt as he wallowed in his pain. Kaizaki thought of one of the books that Hishiro was reading to him as he rested his head on her lap. He loved the sound of her voice as she was calmly reading him a story of a broken love. Her monotone voice was a melody to an alluring song that he must keep on repeat. He gazed at Hishiro lovingly and always asked how did he ever get so lucky to be with the most perfect girlfriend. He knew that she was the one and that he didn't need to go soulmate searching because she was right in front of him. Hishiro stopped reading and just looked down at Kaizaki with an unreadable expression.
"What?" Hishiro said as she placed the book down and Kaizaki just smiled at the thought of a clueless Hishiro. It was a rare thing to witness so he engraved her face into his memory. memorizing her features. From her pools of green that had a tint of blue swimming around in them to her pale complexion that showed when the summer hits. The smile that graced her lips on rare occasions to her cold hands that seemed to be keeping her heart warm. A small sacrifice to have the woman he loves to be a kind-natured woman. He loved her hands that way he would have an excuse to hold them or even cool himself off. All under the pretense of just getting more touches on his girlfriend.
"Nothing." Kaizaki sais as he caressed Hishiro's cheek and sat up from his position and gave her a little gently kiss on her lips. Barely touching them as he could hear Hishiro's breath hitch from either surprise or anticipation. He didn't press their lips together but just ghosted a little bit of their lips and he just hugged her. He inhaled her scent and wanted that moment to last forever.
Kaizaki finished his memory of them as tears were rolling down his eyes and he went to sleep crying at something he'll never have again. His mind started accepting the fact that no one truly needed him nor wanted him. That new reality made his heart ache and he could feel his chest being hollowed up. He hated feeling like this but he would have to get used to it because no one was going to be by his side when he wakes up. All of his friends had already polished their knives, sharpened them and finally stabbed him making sure that he was left with scars. Tattered enough to become broken in the world. There was no more meaning in the world and his trust in others vanished just like that.
Hishiro's side...
Hishiro was walking down the hallway of her workplace in a rush to finish her work early so she could go on a date. She was going on a date with Yoake and she was excited about it because Yoake was finally going to propose to Onoya. Hishiro was happy that Yoake trusted her enough to let her help with the planning of the proposal. She was so in focus with Yoake's plan that she had forgotten about Kaizaki over the time span of 4 months. Her planning with Yoake was trying to make everything perfect from the restaurant, the music, the lectures or conversation they would have. Knowing that Onoya was a romantic, Hishiro was helping Yoake get a cliche way of proposing but also a little unique in its own way. Hishiro originally planned to tell Kaizaki on what she was doing but she was so caught up with her work that she had forgotten and there was also Yoake telling her to keep it a secret from everyone else. Knowing Hishiro usually tells Kaizaki everything, she distanced herself off from Kaizaki hoping that nothing bad would happen from it.
Kaizaki was worried about Hishiro to the fact that he would text her if she was okay or something like that but Hishiro couldn't break a promise that she made with Yoake. She told a little white lie to their friends not to talk to Kaizaki because they were having a fight and she didn't want to forgive him that easily and they believed Hishiro making them ignore Kaizaki's texts and making plans without inviting him. Hishiro told herself that she would eventually tell Kaizaki not to worry about her and about the whole entire thing... but that day never came.
As Hishiro was going towards Yoake's desk she noticed something was out of place when she entered the room. She looked around the office and there was Yoake teaching an intern what to do. Ohga bickering with Kairu over the placement of the letter or maybe it was another file. Onoya was cheerfully trying to get the arguing couple to stop making a scene. Hishiro thought nothing of it seeing how the office was still a normal thing but something still felt odd to her but before she could dive deeper one of the assistants asked Hishiro for help.
One week later...
Kaizaki still didn't recover from his cold but he was healthy enough to go to work which he dreaded the fact of coming back because he would see all of them there. He couldn't get the image out of his head. He had asked Hishiro to leave August 12th open and she agreed. So he set up a picnic out in the nice sun at a park. He wanted to tell Hishiro something dire and she had agreed to go with him but somehow it seemed like she had forgotten about their plans and forgot to tell Kaizaki that she couldn't make it because it was a coincidence that Yoake was only free that day as well and he wanted to go ring shopping and asked Hishiro to go. He agreed without any hesitation and left Kaizaki all alone waiting for Hishiro for hours. Once the set time passed for Kaizaki he knew she wasn't coming and started packing up to go home until he heard a familiar laugh that he always cherished every single time they were together. It was so long that he had heard her laugh and his heart was filled with hope until he spotted Hishiro.
She was locked in an embrace with Yoake and when they broke apart Hishiro was blushing. Yoake put a hand on Hishiro's cheek and wiped something away from her face and she held Yoake's hand and laughed. Yoake pulled Hishiro's face closer and closer until Kaizaki couldn't bare on looking at them any longer. His heart hurt from this and his world was shattered. He heard some of their conversations.
"Do you think the other's would be happy about this?" Yoake said and Hishiro replied to him without any hesitation.
"Of course, they'll be happy about this. They have been waiting for this moment the entire time we have known them." Yoake let out a breath.
"Thank goodness, I was worried that people might not like this idea at all."
"Don't worry, Ryu, you have nothing to worry about I'm right here and I'll be by your side," Hishiro said tenderly and that was the knife that plunged Kaizaki into darkness. Kaizaki remembered his friends laughing and shipping Hishiro and Yoake together because they would make a great couple. He thought they were joking but apparently they were hinting something towards Kaizaki. He was just too in love to with Hishiro see it.
Kaizaki let out a breath as his heart pounded against his ribcage and his he was tired of the heartache he was experiencing. He shoved all the good memories to the back of his mind. Over the past week, he had to change himself, just so he couldn't get hurt by society anymore. His opinion changed and now his perspective. he made a new resolve and that was to be like the old friends and make sure that nothing ever happened between them. As if they never met and became close friends in the first place. To forget all the memories they had and it was better this way seeing how Kaizaki was going to leave the company to go to their bigger branch in Tokyo. He was only going to work a part-time since he had to be at the hospital for a chemotherapy. He was diagnosed a month ago and was waiting for the right time to tell the others while coming to terms with it himself but it seemed that he was getting himself into depression.
He walked into the building and onto the floor where his co-workers were happily chatting away he saw that everyone he once knew were around Yoake's desk all cheering for something but Kaizaki didn't care about them anymore. He walked past them and no one noticed the difference in Kaizaki except for Onoya and their boss that lingered on the sidelines.
As Kaizaki sat down at his desk someone approached him and all he could do was sigh because he didn't want to deal with anyone at the moment.
"How are you feeling, Kaizaki?" It was Kaizaki's boss who had a look of concern. She noticed that Kaizaki was getting paler and losing weight. His eyes no longer held that shine that helped others motivate themselves. They held sadness and pain from everything but most of all he was tired. His dark circles under his eyes were a good indicator of that and she couldn't help but feel pity for him. When Kaizaki noticed that it was his boss he felt a little relieved.
"Yes, Saiki, I am all good just haven't recovered as much as I had hoped." Kaizaki tried putting on his smile that he practices in the mirror but she didn't but his smile one bit.
"Come with me to my office." Was all she said and she walked off to her office. Kaizaki confused at his boss' attitude decided to follow her to see what was going who had witnessed the interaction was intrigued of what was going on as well and she noticed that there was a strain in the relationship. Onoya wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on so she followed Kaizaki discreetly and let herself eavesdrop in on the situation.
"Tell me what is really going on your mind and don't give me the 'nothing's wrong' kind of bull. I've heard a lot of that and I sure didn't train you to value work over health so tell me the truth." Saiki cut right to the point as she sat on her desk while Kaizaki was standing at least 2 meters away from her. She hated seeing her star pupil beat himself down especially in a dark place that he can't seem to find a way out of. She was there for him but she couldn't cross the line that was superior and worker. She could give him advice but nothing would work out for him, so she went with the next best option confronting him and offering him her support.
"I found out on my birthday that my girl- ahem- ex-girlfriend was cheating on me with my best friend and they want to announce it to the rest of the group and I got the results back from the lab. They want me to be in an experimental group on curing my lung cancer as well as the other foreign substance they have found within me that keeps making me have the reoccurring stages of that cancer once again and lately, I've been hearing this voice in my head telling me to do bad things. They made me change my opinion on a lot of things and when I do something I should feel passionate about it seems like it's not even worth trying anymore. I'm tired of life. I'm tired of trying. I'm tired of feeling like being alone is great. I'm just tired. So please Saiki... please tell me that I'll get better." Kaizaki said truthfully and to be honest it felt good to tell someone about it. He just needed someone to hear him out even if it was his respected sempai now his boss. The news however angered Saiki as she listened to Kaizaki's problem. That was the reason why he was transferring to Tokyo and there was a reason why he looked so deprived of the old life he used to have. He was nothing but an empty shell of his old self. Saiki fought back the tears as she was also sad for Kaizaki but she told herself to remain composed because she had news to tell him too.
"Thank you for your honesty Kaizaki and I suppose I could give you the good news early. I have accepted your application on moving to Tokyo with me and you can room with me as we build the Relife company to further parts of the city." Kaizaki looked at Saiki with a shocked expression. He didn't think that she would accept him let alone let him stay with her. He was happy for the first time in months without having to go back into his memories. Tears rolled down his eyes for the millionth time today. Saiki got up from her desk and embraced him into a hug. "There there Kaizaki. It's going to be okay now, I'll be your support no matter what happens okay." Kaizaki returned the hug and just nodded his head on her blazer making it soak up his tears. Onoya was shocked at the whole news and didn't know what to say. She was already tearing up about the fact that Kaizaki and she rushed to her friends and when she caught up to them. Yoake was there laughing while Hishiro was by his side. This little scene brought Kaizaki's words. I found out on my birthday that my girl- ahem- ex-girlfriend was cheating on me with my best friend and they want to announce it to the rest of the group. Onoya was beyond furious that this was the conclusion he had come up with seeing that Yoake proposed to her just 3 days ago. They finally told everyone that they were engaged today and everyone was happily congratulating them. Onoya was about to tell everyone about it until Yoake said the whole planning stages of his proposal which left Onoya at an awe on how cute her now fiancee was. She listened to his story and it was so cute seeing him flustered on asking so many people on how they proposed and the whole ordeal with her parents. She was too engrossed in the stories that she had forgotten about Kaizaki's situation.
Back to Kaizaki...
Kaizaki had finished crying and was apologizing profusely about his train wreck of a mood but Saiki laughed it off and said that a good cry makes a lot of things less painful.
"Now that, that's out of the way we need to start packing to transfer. We leave in a week." Saiki said in a serious tone and Kaizaki nodded his head at her statement. He was happy that he was leaving all the jumbled mess of complicated away from himself and his home. He thanked Saiki for the opportunity and went outside of her office and started working with a little bit of a better mood. He couldn't wait to leave everything behind and start fresh knowing that he didn't have many people to say goodbye to.
After a couple of hours, lunch came and Kaizaki was eating lunch alone once more and he was used to it already. He ate his sandwich quickly and started returning to his desk so he could finish work early and start packing as soon as possible. While on the way back to his desk he bumped into someone and when he did he immediately recognized who it was just by the scent. He cursed his old self for memorizing how he old love smelled like, however, he wanted to remain calm and composed so he got up first and held out a hand to her.
"Are you alright?" Hishiro shook her head and looked up. She saw Kaizaki with his usual smile on his face and his hand stretched out. Hishiro smiled at his gesture and grabbed it as he helped her up. As she was getting up she felt the electricity run through her and that reminded her how much she missed him by her side being the little goofball ball he was. However, that moment was short-lived as Kaizaki let go of her hand and immediately brought it back to his side. Hishiro frowned at his action and opened her mouth to ask him why he did it seeing as they told the company that they were dating. It wasn't a secret that they loved each other, so they didn't need to hide their relationship. "Thank goodness, you are okay, Hishiro-san, I'm so sorry for bumping into you. It won't happen again I swear." Kaizaki said formally and was acting like they had never met before let alone had a relationship with each other.
"Arata..." Hishiro started but Kaizaki's eyes flickered with sadness, guilt, and pain. Hishiro noticed but it was gone as soon as it appeared.
"I'm sorry, Hishiro-san, I have somewhere to be so... I'll get going now." He coldly brushed her off and started speed-walking away from Hishiro. As Hishiro was frozen in her spot and her chest ached while her mind reminded Kaizaki's wounded expression. Who hurt you, Arata? Why don't you confide in me? When did this happen? How long ago was this that you didn't trust me to tell me? Why do you look like you cried today? Your eyes are swollen and yet you didn't explain to me. Why are there so many questions and why can't I seem to be finding the answers to them.
One week later... yet again...
Kaizaki was all packed for his move and ever since his accidental encounter with Hishiro he made sure to not run into her because all the negative thoughts come running back to him and he didn't like how they seem to have a huge influence on him. However whenever he was in a time of need Saiki was there for him and she listened to his problems without a single complaint. Kaizaki was dazing off until he heard the doorbell ring, it was the mover he had thought as he said.
"Coming." As he opened up the door there stood Hishiro, in a white dress that hugged her not too tightly around the curves but enough o show that she had a great figure underneath. That white dress had embroidered flowers sewn on the bottom of the dress and its vibrant colors were indeed eye-catching making Hishiro's beauty more emphasized than any other day. Kaizaki was shocked at Hishiro's appearance and his eyes drank in the wonderful sight as if she was the finest person in the world.
Hishiro took in Kaizaki's appearance and she saw that he was getting skinny as well as looking tired and weak. She noticed how the shirt that used to fit him hung a little bit loosely that it could easily fall off his shoulders. She could see the bones of his collar and cheekbones. She noticed the bags under his eyes but most of all she noticed the things behind him, there were boxes lined up and labeled. Hishiro didn't want to believe it was true when she received the news today at work on how their boss was transferred to Tokyo to help expand their lab and experiments. She was taking someone along because they needed a good support team and Hishiro thought nothing of it because her mind kept going back to Kaizaki. She checked her phone and unblocked Kaizaki and she saw all the worried messages that she had gotten from kaizaki over the past 4 months especially him asking where she was on August 12th. Her heart dropped when she looked at the date and the messages. It was asking if she was able to make it or if she was alright or if she was too busy they could always reschedule for another time.
He poured his heart out in the messages and voicemail explaining that none of their friends aren't answering anymore and sometimes he would go all philosophical in the message and tell her how maybe it was his fault for thinking that he could be happy when he hasn't accomplished anything yet. All those messages ended after his birthday and Hishiro noticed that Kaizaki wasn't in for a whole week after his birthday and how she thought nothing of it.
She remembered Onoya finally remembering the conversation she eavesdropped in with Kaizaki and their boss and that was what crushed Hishiro's heart. She reached out her hand and placed it on Kaizaki's cheek. Usually, when she did this he would lean into her hand and give her a cheeky smile and blush at the same time. Hishiro loved those moments where she knew that Kaizaki loved her but all she got instead were tears flowing down Kaizaki's eyes.
"Why are you here?" He said hoarsely as his throat was getting more and more sore from all the coughing he had been doing over the week and Hishiro noticed his voice as well making her feel even more hurt that she didn't notice anything wrong with Kaizaki. Something so harmless made Kaizaki looking at Hishiro as if he was just meeting her for the first time. Those eyes that stared at Hishiro with a gentle love were no more an eyes that were cold towards her.
"I heard that you were leaving and I wanted to see you," Hishiro said as Kaizaki took Hishiro's hand off of his face. He simply turned around and Hishiro followed him and she noticed so many things that changed in Kaizaki's apartment. It was once warm and comfortable but now it was cold and empty and it looked like someone abandoned it as Kaizaki left papers flying around which was just letters that he was never going to send. Hishiro noticed one of the letters that said her name on it. She started reading it:
Dear my dearest love Chizu,
Wait... should I really be writing dearest love. It sounds so sweet and tender that I sound like my old self. Maybe I do still have lingering feelings for you but I'll make sure to crush them when I move away from you. I know about your relationship with Yoake. Even though, it would have been nice for you to tell me that things weren't working out instead of completely ignoring me and leaving me with so much hope in my heart. The pain hurts knowing that you have fallen for someone else that isn't me. I'm sorry that I put you through a relationship that didn't even last a year. I'm sorry for being the kind of boyfriend that seems clingy seeing as all my messages and calls went unanswered. I'm sorry that I tried to change you now that I am on the receiving end of your cold demeanor. I'm sorry for everything that I have done but I did it because I love you and I wanted to let you know that the world wasn't a scary place at all. I'm sorry for loving you and making you my girlfriend. I'll properly let you go and be happy with someone that isn't me. You'll never get this letter because I'm going to burn it. Hopefully, my feelings for you will burn in those ashes and I can finally look back on our wonderful memories that I seem to be the only one cherishing at the moment without breaking down. Maybe I'll get better or maybe I'll just die without any of you guys knowing how I died or why I died. I made sure that no one in the office knew about my condition except for our boss because well she was the one who told me to go to the doctor's and I found out from there. Though I made her keep it a secret... what am I saying this letter will never reach anyone and if it does no one will think it's important anyways and just throw it out just like the people in my life have done to me. Once I became nothing to them I was thrown aside without any concern about my feelings or the after effect of them. So, I'm just going to stop writing this and throw it away later. I need to finish packing.
From... The one you want to make you keep your distance away from... Kaizaki.
Hishiro was in tears as she read the letter, while Kaizaki was in another room checking that he had everything for his trip to Tokyo. He was ready for his new life. That's what he made up in his mind anyways except for the fact that Kaizaki's heart was telling him to take another chance with Hishiro. It was beating rapidly for her the moment he opened up the door but seeing as he placed a mask he couldn't just take it off. He built it for these occasions so he wouldn't get hurt again. Hishiro rushed into the room and saw Kaizaki picking up the passport that had his plane ticket in it and rushed up to him. She collided her body into Kaizaki's and held him in a death grip hoping that her feelings were coming across. Kaizaki let out a sigh and tried getting out of Hishiro's embrace. Hishiro only tightened her grip on Kaizaki hoping that he wouldn't leave her.
"No." She said like a child wanting to keep her treasured toy from ever leaving her. She loved Kaizaki and she didn't want him to leave let alone try to move on from her. He was the greatest thing that happened to her and because of her actions, she might be losing him forever. She didn't like the fact that it took her too long to realize. "I love you, Arata. Don't leave me please." She pleaded and she was starting to tear up.
"I have to." Was all Kaizaki said as his mind and heart were fighting with each other. His mind was telling him to get out of her embrace and just leave while his heart was telling him to stay and fight for their love. To listen to Hishiro's reason for why her behavior was like that. Why she chose to cheat on him or something along the lines of that. "Let go... Hishiro-san... I... I-i don't... have time... to be dealing with you." Kaizaki said as coldly as possible making sure that he was indeed rejecting her. Making sure that he wouldn't get hurt again. Making sure that what they used to have was a mere fantasy. "Go be happy with Yoake-sempai. You guys are made for each other." He said his name with such venom and he was on the brink of tears. "You don't need me in your life and its gotten to the point where you had to resort to cheating on me and turning our friends against me to make me realize that you never wanted me. You used me for a person who was also in a relationship." Kaizaki grasped Hishiro's fingers and tried loosening his grip on her. "I don't understand why you are here at all. Maybe... just maybe.. you wanted to see your work in its final stages as I suffer from your masterpiece." Kaizaki said as his voice was breaking from all the pent up emotions he had tried to lock up in his heart.
"That's not true at all Kaizaki. I want you and it's always been you. I have never cheated on you... not now not ever." Hishiro mumbled the last part as she tried to close the distance of their bodies closer just so he could feel her heartbeat trying to break out of her chest. Closing that distance that was being blocked by their excess amount of clothing.
"I can't trust your words, Hishiro-san. Not anymore." He was completely defeated and decided to tell her the truth. "I became insecure about everything when you started avoiding me and the one time I felt like we were connecting was when you said yes for the first time in a while for a date. A date I had planned on my birthday. A date to tell you the bad news and good news. A date that would determine where we stood in our relationship...," Kaizaki was already crying at the memory as he was letting everything out. "I wanted us to have a picnic out at the park near my place." Hishiro gasped as she remembered that Kaizaki asked her if she was free on August 12th and she said she was free. The look on his face was a look of relief and hopeful. It reached his eyes and she remembered the tired look he had but was fighting it as he happily walked away humming. That was when she received a text from Yoake telling her that he needed to act out his scenario to make everything perfect and the only day was August 12th the exact same day. She said yes immediately and it slipped her mind in telling Kaizaki because she had to tell him the reason why she suddenly couldn't come. She told herself that when everything was over she would get to tell Kaizaki about all of her ideas and situations that happened during the event. She knew that Kaizaki would understand her reasoning but what she didn't know was that her way of handling it was putting too much of a toll on Kaizaki's mind and body. She was slowly changing him into a person that she couldn't reach out. A person that seemed almost like herself. In fear of seeing the person that brightened up the room constrain himself made her resolve in trying to make this better.
"It's just a misunderstanding, Arata. I was with Yoake just so he could perfect the proposal he had planned for Onoya. I was just helping him out because he knew that I would take it seriously and focus on it without making fun of him. I didn't know that it would turn out like this. I swear Arata that it was just a misunderstanding so please just trust me." Hishiro said as her arms were getting tired of fighting Kaizaki's attempt to break free which was hard in the beginning but his grip was getting weaker and weaker. She felt his body tremble and she didn't know what he was doing at all.
"I can't." His voice was weak and defeated but it held the truth. "I don't have the capacity to trust anyone anymore. I wish I could but I'm tired of being strung up for your guys' amusement. Let me... just leave and start a new life."
"No I can't do that, I can't lose you to something like this. Please, just give me a chance to prove it to you." Hishiro pleaded once more as Kaizaki's attempts at making her lose her grip were working but she wanted to fight that was until she remembered what Goal-sensei taught her. When the partner wasn't in the mood to be reasoned with they have to take it by force.
That is exactly what Hishiro did...
She took initiative and made sure Kaizkai was getting the point.
"I'm sorry." She said as her meanings were for all she had done and all she was about to do. She flipped Kaizaki around and they both fell. Kaizaki hit the ground and he didn't know what was going on until Hishiro pressed her lips onto Kaizakis. Her hands were gripping Kaizaki's wrists hoping that they were locking them into place and she placed herself between Kaizaki's legs. Kaizaki couldn't believe what was going on but his mind was slowly losing with his heart. He was in desperate need for air and he tried pushing Hishiro off but his hands were being pushed down by Hishiro's as it also had her weight added on it. It wasn't until he was having a coughing fit when they pulled away. Kaizaki rushed to the bathroom and Hishiro was hot on his trail. She watched Kaziaki lift the toilet seat and started coughing up blood. Hishiro watched in fear that Kaizaki might leave her sooner than she had thought and rushed to his side. Stroking his back and whispering sweet nothings into his ears. Kaizaki was too tired from the blood loss to push Hishiro away. "Don't hurt me anymore, Hishiro-san. Please... just... j-just let me... be. Leave me alone and never come back... That's what you did before. Nothing is going to change if you start doing it again." He said in between breaths and his voice breaking from the threatening tears that were about to fall down from his eyes. Hishiro shook her head as she bit her lip to calm down the tears and overwhelming pain that was digging into her chest. She didn't think that her actions would make her boyfriend like this. She finally realized that she was the cause of his pain and would do anything to make it go away except for leaving him or breaking up with him.
"I won't leave you, Arata. I love you and I know you love me so please don't leave. I need you here. I can't live without you anymore. That letter you wrote for me isn't true. I love how you care for me when no one ever had in a long time. I love how you showed me a brand new world that was filled with color. I love the childish side of you that brightens up my day. I love you enough to follow you anywhere. I love you enough to smack you across the head in thinking that I don't cherish the memories we shared together as well. I love you. All of you. You invaded my body and mind and I can't seem to get enough of you okay?" Hishiro said each word as she scooted closer and closer to Kaizaki who was having a little bit trouble breathing. Their eyes never broke contact and by the last sentence, Hishiro finished with a kiss that tasted like iron and salt. She didn't care if she was tasting her lover's blood what mattered was that he was there not fighting back. When she broke apart Kaizaki was about to say something but she cut him off with another kiss hoping that this was enough convincing to help him realize that she indeed does love him. Every time he was about to say something she would kiss him over and over again. Tears fell from both their eyes and with every kiss, the need to hold each other in their arms was growing faster by the minute. Each kiss became more passionate as Hishiro didn't know how to ask for entrance for a french kiss she just simply licked Kaizaki's lips and well as the tip of his nose which made Kaizaki laugh at Hishiro's awkward attempt to deepen the kiss.
After that very passionate moment... (I'm keeping it, pg guys)
Kaizaki had his back against the bathtub as Hishiro was straddling his lap. their foreheads were touching and they were both out of breath. They looked at each other without breaking eye contact.
"So... does... this... mean that... you are... staying?" Hishiro had to ask after that moment they just had. Kaizaki laughed so much that tears were forming in his eyes.
"If that little make-out session didn't tell you yes I don't know what will," Kaizaki said as he looked out from behind Hishiro and saw Saiki smiling at Kaizaki and she was glad that he was back to his old self again but it would have been a better thing if they didn't have dried blood all over their lips and outlining their mouths.
"I'm guessing you'll not be joining me to Toyko then." She said intending a hint of something else behind her words and Hishiro got the hint and just hugged Kaizaki closer to her as if her gesture was saying he's all mine back off. Saiki laughed at that motion then proceeded to take a picture of the rather odd couple and started laughing as she walked out of the apartment. She knew that the photo would be used to tell a tale of a strange event.
"You're not leaving me," Hishiro affirmed Kaizaki as when Saiki was nowhere in sight.
"I'm going to have to leave you sooner or later," Kaizaki said with a chuckle and it felt good to laugh like this. "Besides... I think Yoake is a better kisser than me... he seems more experienced." Kaizaki looked at Hishiro with sad eyes.
"I didn't kiss him so I don't know if he is." Hishiro bluntly stated and added to it. "You were my first in everything and I plan on keeping it that way." Hishiro cupped Kaizaki's face and planted a kiss on his nose. "Yoake is engaged to braided glasses girl and I have no intentions of breaking them apart. I'm yours and only yours okay." Hishiro said as she forced Kaizaki to look at her and she watched Kaizaki's features soften and he finally said.
"Okay but please I can't trust you just yet. We'll take this relationship one step at a time." Kaizaki said hoping that Hishiro was okay with his decision. She nodded and Kaizaki gave her a small smile. He held out his hand and said. "Hi, my name is Kaizaki Arata." Hishiro returned the gesture and shook it.
"Hishiro Chizuru, nice to meet you too, Arata... I love you."
"Hishiro-san, you said your greeting wrong."
"No, I didn't. I love you and I want to make sure you know that I love you every day so I love you. I'll keep saying it until you say it back to me." Kaizaki looked at Hishiro with disbelief and just shook his head when he noticed that she was being serious.
"It makes me wonder why I fell in love with you, Hishiro-san."
"I wonder that myself." Hishiro pecked Kaizaki's lips before standing up and held out her hand. "It's my turn to brighten up your life like you did with mine." Kaizaki grabbed her hand and pulled himself up showing her that he'll accept her gesture and hopefully they could have that relationship once again.
This was my attempt at writing a fluff piece. Tell me how it went... by the way, I was bored one class and decided to make this episode on my calculator... please don't follow my example as I am currently running away from my cast members for participating in such a script. says away from the camera I told you guys to be warned it gets weird
Kaizaki: When you said weird I thought of a cult or something not having a make-out session with Chizuru with blood tablets in our mouths.
Hahaha... I'm not sorry about that... Anyways hope you guys have a great day I'll update more... maybe... if the idea comes to me Turns to Kaizaki... You liked it and we all know it anyways.
Kaizaki: Shut... shut up. It was just an act an act I tell you.
