Chapter 11- Birthday wish
We've been in Japan for a month now, my throat was feeling better and I was able to whisper every once and awhile. My birthday was coming up in a couple of days, and I knew my friends were planning something because they were all jittery. Boy was I right. When I woke up on that day, and walked to the main house to get my breakfast, Kumi, Meroko, Emi, Tomoe, Takuto and Eichi were all sitting around a cake with smiles plastered on their faces.
"Happy Birthday Mitsuki!" They all cheered happily. I threw my arms around my chest and fled the room yelling as loudly as I could (which isn't very loud -.-) "YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME!" Once I reached my room, I slid to the floor panting heavily. I could tell this was going to be a long day. I haven't talked to Takuto since we got back from America, its because he has been avoiding me, and now here he was, sitting at that table, smiling for me. I sighed and stood up getting dressed. Once I was finished I walked back to the living room where everyone was.
"Mitsuki! Come sit next to me!" Meroko said happily patting the spot next to her. I plastered on my fake smile and ran over to her. I tried to avoid Takuto's gaze.
"You guy's better not sing happy birthday, I don't want to have to hear Meroko sing." I said. Meroko pouted and placed her hands on her hips.
"What's that supposed to mean?" We all started to laugh loudly. As they sang happy birthday, I just stared at my cake, wanting so badly to look up at the man in front of me.
"Um Mitsuki! Are you in there?" Meroko asked tapping my head. I blinked and looked up at her.
"What's wrong?" I asked. They all laughed.
"You need to make a wish silly." Kumi said. I blushed and nodded looking at the many candles. I closed my eyes and blew as hard as I could.
"Dang girl, you've got some powerful lungs." Emi said giggling. I blushed and smiled. We all started to eat the cake, and I took that chance to take a glance at Takuto. He was smiling and laughing along with Tomoe. Our eyes suddenly connected and I blushed looking away. My grandmother walked in. We all grew quiet.
"I hope you are enjoying your party Mitsuki. I have this present for you." She held out a box and then walked back to the door.
"Happy birthday Mitsuki." She whispered before exiting. We all stared at the present.
"Well are you going to open it?" Emi asked. I carefully tore the paper apart. Underneath was a box. I opened the lid and gasped.
"What? What? What is it?" Meroko asked. I held up the small music box.
"I haven't seen this in years." I whispered getting tears in my eyes.
"Well what the hell is it?" Meroko asked impatiently.
"Its the music box that Aoi gave Hazuki, its Eternal Snow." Takuto said. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Well, play it! I've never heard of the song Eternal snow." Kumi said. I pressed the button, and the beautiful melody played through the room. I wanted so badly to sing along with it, but I was instructed not to sing due to the surgery. Soon the song came to an end and I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"That was so beautiful!" Tomoe said. We all nodded in agreement.
"I guess this means we are opening present!" Meroko pulled out her present and everyone else followed her lead.
"It seems that no matter how much I tell you guys not to get me something, you still do it." I said shaking my head. Meroko shoved her present in front of me.
"It's out of love Mitsuki." She said. I blushed lightly, suddenly remembering that Takuto in fact did love me. I made sure not to look at him this time. I opened Meroko's present and pulled out two stuffed animals, one was a pink bunny and the other was a white cat. (I'll let you guess what they look like ;)
"They are adorable Meroko I love them thank you." I whispered hugging her. She hugged me back tightly.
"Geez Meroko, calm down, you're going to squeeze the living day lights out of her." Emi said. Everyone around laughed. I opened Kumi's present next. It was a dress identical to the one that I wore at the mall that got ruined.
"I saw this and thought of you. That day was the best." She said laughing. I smiled.
"Thank you Kumi." I grabbed Tomoe's present. She got me some jewelry, and then Emi got me my favorite books that I never had the chance to get. Next was Takuto's present. My hands were shaking nervously as he handed me the large box. I tore away the paper to reveal a ox, with an acoustic guitar. My eyes widened and I suddenlt jumped up and tackled Takuto with a hug.
"Thank you so much Takuto!" I said, the first words I had spoken to him in a month. He just patted my back. I suddenly realized what I was doing and pulled away blushing.
"Um sorry." I said turning away from him and walking back over to my seat. As the party went on and we all played games and chatted, Takuto stayed extremely quiet. I was mentally kicking myself for being so stupid. But it did sadden me that he still hadn't talked to me. I sighed.
"Are you ok Mitsuki?" Eichi asked while the girls were getting a game. Takuto was still sitting at the table. I looked at Eichi and smiled.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it." I lied, trying to act cheerfully. The morning dragged on, and finally they had to all go home.
"Thank you for coming everyone." I said as they walked out of the door. A hand was placed on my shoulder. I turned around to see Eichi.
"Come on." He said gesturing me outside to his car. I followed slowly.
"Where are we going?" I asked nervously. He smirked and opened the door for me. When I passed him, and whispered in my ear.
"Well, I want you to come over to my place so I can give you your present." He said whispering seductively in my ear. My eyes widened and I gulped down the knot in my throat. He shoved me in the car and then got in.
(Takuto Pov)
I sighed looking at the ground. I was such a freaking idiot. Why couldn't I talk to her. I wasn't even able to say your welcome. I kicked the dirt and cursed. But the again, I did make her smile, and that was the best thing I guess I could do, was atleast make her happy, even though she didn't love me. I knew that girl had been faking all of her laughs and smiles, but I can see straight through them. I looped a finger through the necklace I was wearing.
"Wait, Shit! I forgot to give this to her!" I yelled running back to her house. Once I reached the house, I bent over panting.
"Uhg going to America made me so out of shape from not working out! Damn those Americans." He muttered.
"Watch your mouth around your elders young man." I stood up to see Mitsuki's grandmother in front of me. I bowed.
"I'm sorry madam, but where is Mitsuki-san?" I asked wincing at the san part. I always hated being formal, but I knew that if I wanted answers, I had to do it.
"She went with Sakurai-Kun to his house." She said. I bowed and thanked her running down the road. But I suddenly stopped, my eyes widening.
"No his isn't thinking of-THAT BASTARD!" I yelled running as fast as I could to the city.
(Mitsuki's Pov)
"Wow, this place is so nice." I said quietly. Eichi suddenly pushed me down on the bed and straddled me. I winced when he ripped my shirt off. I knew this was coming, but not on my birthday.
"Aren't you excited Mitsuki, I'm going to make you mine so that disgusting Takuto doesn't steal you away from me." He said.I struggled against his grasp when he took off more of my clothing.
"Why are you doing this? I don't even have feelings for him." I said desperately. He slapped me.
"Don't talk back bitch. I saw the way you were looking at him." I felt tears run down my cheeks when he started to do weird things to me.
"What happened to you Eichi? You used to be so sweet." I said. He bit down on my skin. I yelped out in pain.
"It's because of Takuto, I don't want him to win you over." He said. I shook my head violently.
"But do you have to use violence? I don't like Takuto that way we are just really good friends. I've told you this a million times!" I said. He punched me in the stomach. I coughed, gasping for air.
"SHUT UP! That's what they all say Mitsuki, but yet they go running away from me." He said. I struggled more.
"Please don't do this! Let me go!" I said crying harder. He chuckled.
"Oh Mitsuki, I love it when you resist me." He said. I cowared away from him waiting for the worst. Suddenly the door opened. I jumped and took that chance to knee him in the place where the sun don't shine. He fell down on his side, and I covered myself up with the sheet.
"Get off of her Eichi!" It was the first time I heard him speak in a month. I looked over at the door to see Takuto.
"Takuto!" I gasped out. Eichi slapped me again, recovering from the hit I just gave him.
"Get out of here Kira! Mitsuki's mine!" He said. Takuto walked over and punched him, making him fall off the bed. He sat up holding his cheek.
"She doesn't belong to anyone!" Takuto said in a very dangerous tone. Eichi stood up and started to attack Takuto with punches and kicks. Takuto just dodged everything, and then he punched him in the stomach making him fall over.
"I would stop if I were you Eichi, I've talked to certain people, and what you've been doing to Mitsuki can be shown to everyone in Japan. How you hurt her, and almost raped her." He yelled. I winced at the volume of his voice.
"What do you mean?" He asked. Takuto opened the door to show Eichi's father. I felt so exposed with only a sheet covering me, but Eichi had ripped up all my clothes.
"Eichi, I'm very disappointed in you! How could you ever hurt an innocent girl like Mitsuki?" He yelled. He looked over at Takuto.
"Get her out of here young man." He said. Takuto looked at me and smiled softly. He walked over to me and picked me up, wrapping the sheet around me tightly. I grasped his shirt, crying into his chest. He held me tighter.
"Shh, it's ok Mitsuki, it's over." He whispered petting my hair. I took a deep breath and nodded. He set me down gently as if I were made of glass.
"Where's your shirt?" He asked. I wiped my eyes and looked at anything but his eyes.
"Eichi ripped it up." I whispered. I heard Takuto shuffling and looked up at him. I instantly regretted that, he had taken his shirt off and held it out to me.
"A young lady like you shouldn't be walking around town without a shirt on."
"Ok, I'm ready." I said quietly. He turned back around and picked me up again. I yelped in surprise.
"Takuto what are you doing? I can walk on my own." I said. He didn't say anything to me. I cuddled into his arms, happy that he had rescued me. He set me down once we got outside. He hauled a taxi and we climbed in. I looked over at him. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, his expression was blank. I sighed. We soon arrived at his apartment and he grabbed my hand leading me upstairs to his and Wakaouji's apartment. Once the door was closed, he turned to me.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. I took a step back.
"What are you-"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE WAS BEATING YOU!" He yelled. I gasped and felt tears fall. He just sighed.
"I'm sorry I didn't-"No it's ok Takuto, you're right, I should have told you, but he threatened me Takuto, he said he would punish me badly if I told anyone. I was scared." I whispered falling to the ground and letting the tears fall freely. He knelt down beside me and tilted my head up. I looked into his eyes and saw the love he felt for me, which only made me cry more. I jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"I'm so sorry." I whispered. He hugged me back with all of his strength. I felt him stroke my hair to try to calm me down. He pulled me away from him and forced me to look him in the eyes.
"For what?" He asked quietly moving the hair that fell into my eyes back.
"All you've done is care for me and love me, and what I did back was hurt you and not notice at all that you loved me." I said. His grip on me tightened. I knew he had asked me not to mention it, but I didn't care anymore, we needed to talk about it eventually.
"Don't be sorry Mitsuki, it's not your fault that you don't have the same feelings for me, I wouldn't want you to force yourself to love me, because that isn't right, and I would feel horrible for taking advantage of that, so don't be sorry." He said, his voice cracking slightly. He kissed my forehead. I blushed.
"But no matter what, I will do my best to protect you and do anything for you. I love you Mitsuki." He whispered. His words sunk into my mind and kept on repeating like a broken record. I pulled away from him.
"You say that, but why haven't you talked to me at all for a month?" I asked him. He bit his lip and looked away from me. I brought my hand to his cheek and made him look at me.
"I'm sorry Mitsuki, I just didn't know what to say to you. I was just scared to what you would say about, about me loving, even though I already knew the answer." He said shyly. I smiled.
"I'm mad at you for not talking to me, but I understand why now, just don't be scared to talk to me. We are best friends right?" I asked. He nodded with a smile. I could see the tears he was trying to hide. I brought my hand up to his eye and wiped away the one that escaped.
"You know it's ok to cry." I said. He smiled and gave a small laugh.
"Yeah I know, you said that before, when we were talking about my past on the roof." He said.
"Oh yeah I remember that." I said with a smile.
"There it is." He whispered. I titled my head confused at his statement. He smiled at me.
"I can see through your fake smiles Mitsuki. You were faking your happiness ever since we came back from America. I haven't seen you truly smile in a very long time it seems." He said. I blushed slightly. How was it that he was able to see through that? We sat on the floor in silence.
"This may sound weird, but I'm grateful that Eichi was my boyfriend, because without him, I would be dead next year." I said. Takuto looked at me surprised.
"And it's also interesting how so much happened in only a couple of months. And how me and you became so close in so little time." I said. He smiled.
"How long you know someone doesn't matter, it's how strong the friendship is. Time isn't necessarily important to close friends, because a day together feels like ten years have passed because they have no other worries in the world and they have their friend to keep them standing. When I met you Mitsuki, I felt like I had known you for years, we just related to things so well." He said. I blushed lightly and then smiled at him.
"I agree with you Takuto, I felt the same way when I met you. Honestly, when you first came up onto the roof, I thought you were going to be a mean snobby popular kid, because I heard around the school that you were like that. But they are all wrong, you are the probably the kindest sweetest guy I have ever met in my life. I didn't feel alone when I was with you because I knew you could relate with me because both of us lost those precious to us." I said.
"I also agree with you." He said mimicking what I had said. I stuck my tongue out making him chuckle.
"Mitsuki," He said suddenly. I looked at him seriously. He took my hand in his.
"Next time, don't be afraid, come to me, because I will help you no matter what." He said. I nodded and smiled happily at him.
"I promise you!" I said smiling. We sat in a comfortable silence until something suddenly popped into my head.
"Hey Takuto, remember when I slept over here, and I thought I had a dream where you came into my room and kissed me, was it really a dream?" I asked. He froze at the question.
"Um, well," He said laughing sheepishly. "It might be true." He said avoiding my gaze on him.
"Takuto!" I said as fiercely as I could. He sighed and looked at the ground tracing his finger on the carpet.
"Yes, I did kiss you." He said looking back up at me. I smiled satisfied that I finally got a straight answer.
"Ok thank you for finally telling the truth." I said standing up. He looked up at me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Well it is my birthday still and Tanaka always prepares a special dinner for me." I said. He also stood up.
"Oh and by the way how in the world did you know to come look for me?" I asked.
"Oh yeah!" He said loudly and took something off that was hanging around his neck.
"I forgot to give this to you, and then I ran back and your grandma told me where you were, and then I just kind of figured." He said holding out a dark blue shiny guitar pick with a crescent moon on it. I took it from his hands.
"Are you sure you want to give this to me?" I asked admiring it. He smiled.
"Of course, when I saw it, I thought of you." He said. He took it from my hands and wrapped it around my neck. He took off Eichi's necklace and held it up to me.
"Do you want to keep this?" He asked. I took it from his hands and walked over to the balcony. I opened the door and looked out. It was just the ocean so I threw it and far as I could.
"That takes care of that. Well, I have to go now Takuto." I said turning around to face him. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck giving him a hug.
"Thank you for saving me. I don't know how I can ever repay you." I said. He gently wrapped his arms around me.
"You don't have to repay me at all. I'm just glad that you are safe." He whispered in my ear. I shivered and pulled away smiling at him. I turned around about to walk away but he grasped my hand.
"Takuto?" I asked turning to look at him. He looked at me seriously with his blue eyes. I gasped quietly.
"Can-can I try something please?" He asked quietly. I just stared at him. He pulled me closer to him. I felt my heart skip a beat. Our faces were extremely close, I could feel his breath on my lips. My cheeks were burning as he held me tighter as if pleading me to stay.
"Just trust me." He whispered tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear. He titled my chin up a bit higher and connected our lips. I felt a wave of shock run all through my body. The kiss was soft and gentle, but it held so much love. I slowly closed my eyes and stepped closer to him. He brought a hand up to my cheek and the other hand rested on the small of my back. I felt my cheeks grow warmer and warmer and he pressed harder into the kiss. I traced my hands up and down his exposed chest. 'WHAT AM I DOING?' I yelled in my head. He suddenly broke this kiss, only pulling a centimeter away from my lips. We both panted from the lack of breath. My lips were still tingling and felt as they were on fire. I then finally realized how close we still were. I pulled away quickly making him look at me in surprise, and slight hurt.
"Well, I need to get going now Takuto." I said hurridely, turning my back to him.
"I guess I will see you later." I heard him say. I nodded and quickly went to the door and walked out of the apartment. I turned around, gave a smile and waved.
"Thanks again." I said then closed the door. I took a deep breath and brought a hand to my heart, which was beating rapidly. Why do I have this reaction when I kiss Takuto, and not when I kissed Eichi? I then looked down at the shirt that I was wearing.
"I forgot I was wearing this! I should return it." I said turning around to face the door.
"On second thought, I can give it back to him later." I said. I took out my phone and dialed Meroko's number while walking to the elevator.
"Mitsuki?" She answered. I pushed the first floor button and the doors closed.
"Meroko, come over to my house ASAP! I need to talk to you about some things." I said and then hung up.
"Oh hello Mitsuki! I've been seeing you around here quite a lot, I hope you and Takuto are being safe." Max, the manager of the apartment complex, said with a wink. I blushed.
"Shut up Max! I'm not even going out with Takuto!" I said. He chuckled.
"Doesn't look like it." He said. I looked down at my shirt, well Takuto's shirt.
"There's a reason for this." I said nervously blushing. He just chuckled.
"I'm not going to ask, but i'm just surprised that you aren't with Takuto, probably the nicest guy I've met." He said. I blushed and looked at the ground.
"I have to go now Max, see you later." I said. He tipped his hat at me. I ran all the way back to my house. Once I got there Meroko was standing there out of breath.
"Did you just get here?" I asked her. She held up her hand up. I laughed.
"Yes I did, now come on, I want to hear about what you need to tell me, wait where did you get that shirt?" She asked taking a hold of my hand.
"It's Takuto's." I said. Her eyes widened.
"You didn't." She said. I blushed knowing exactly what she was talking about. I shook my head violently.
"NO! Of course not! I'll explain when we get inside." I said leading her to my room. She sat down on my bed watching me look for another shirt to wear. I looked at her, and she closed her eyes. I changed quickly and then sat on the bed.
"Ok give me details!" She said. I stood up and looked out the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
"Well the reason that I was wearing Takuto's shirt is because, Eichi tried to rape me, and he ripped my shirt. Takuto saved me and then gave me his shirt." I explained. Meroko suddenly jumped up.
"WHAT! I'm going to kill that bastard if its the last thing I do! Wait, hold it, did Takuto see you, well you know." She asked. I blushed.
"NO!" I yelled defensively. She smirked at me.
"Mitsuki, are you sure there isn't anything else you want to talk about?" She asked in a playful voice. I blushed looking down at my hands.
"It's about Takuto." I said. She snapped her fingers.
"I knew it! What happened between you two? Did he confess?" She asked. I blushed even harder.
"Well, I forgot to tell you this, but while we were in America, I overheard him arguing with Eichi, and he kind of yelled that he loved me, and then after I had the surgery, he confessed to my face. Ever since then, he hadn't talked to me. Until today. Wait how did you know that he liked me?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Mitsuki! It's freaking obvious! I could see it from just looking at him!" She said. I sighed.
"I'm so stupid!" I said hitting my head. She grabbed my arm.
"No you aren't, just a little oblivious sometimes. What happened between you two Mitsuki?" She asked.
"He-he kissed me, and he told me he loved me again, and that he would do anything to protect me. Meroko, I feel sad that he loves me so much, but I just can't return it." I said sadly. She started to laugh. I pouted.
"Hello? Depressed friend here! Aren't you supposed to be helping me? Not laughing at me face?" I asked. She just laughed harder.
"I'm sorry Mitsuki, but now I know you really are stupid!" She said. I frowned at her. She wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Sorry I didn't meant to sound so harsh, but tell me, how did you feel when you kissed him?" She asked. I brought a finger to my lips.
"I felt, like I was on fire, or electricity was running throught my body. His lips were so gentle and soft." I said remembering the intense sensation. Meroko started to laugh again.
"What's so funny?" I asked. She flicked my forehead making me fall back onto my hands.
"Mitsuki! It's obvious you fell for him. And you fell hard." She said. I raised my eyebrows confused.
"Oh my god really? YOU LOVE HIM YOU IDIOT! L-O-V-E, love!" She yelled at me. My eyes widened and I finally fell onto my back.
"But how? He's my best friend!" I said. She hit her head with her hand
"Mitsuki, love can happen no matter what situation you are in." She said. I nodded slowly taking in what she said.
"But why haven't I noticed it before?" I asked. She sighed.
"Please just use your brain and think back, and then you will actually believe me that you do i fact love him." She said. I frowned and thought back to when i first met him. When I saw his blue eyes, I felt electrified by the color and the intensity. I remember him always being there when I needed him, and him giving me advice, and how every time we had kissed, it felt amazing. It had felt so right to be around him. My eyes widened.
"Five, four, three, two, one." Meroko counted down.
"Oh my god I love him!" I said. She started to clap.
"Congratulations for finally joining us in the real world. Now, what are you going to do Mitsuki?" She asked. I shrugged. Meroko nearly fell over.
"Really? You better thank me for this one day." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me into the bathroom.
"Ah Meroko! What are you doing?" I asked. She just laughed grabbing my make-up bag.
"Hun, we need to get you all dress up, and I'm going to help you with that!" She started her work.
"So, have you ever had a dream with Takuto in it?" She asked while carefully applying my eyeliner. I blushed.
"Yes, twice actually." I said. She took a step back and glared at me.
"Really, and what happened in those dreams?" She asked. I thought back to them, and instantly remembered that song that I had sung. My eyes widened.
"That's what the lyrics meant." I said quietly. Meroko looked at me strangely. I jumped up from my chair and ran into my room.
"Hey get back here! I'm not done with you!" She yelled holding up the curling iron. I grabbed a piece of paper and started to write quickly
"What are you doing?" She asked looking over my shoulder.
"Well, like I said, I had a dream about Takuto. In that dream there was a song playing, and I had never heard it before, and only certain lines were playing. Now do I realize it was talking about Takuto." I said writing the song down that I had created in my dream.
"So wait you wrote this song in your dream? Mitsuki! You idiot you even knew you loved him yet you ignored it!" Meroko said. I blushed.
"Either that, or I was just too dense to realize it." I muttered. I finished writing the last line and admired my work. She grabbed my hand.
"Good you finished, now let me finish you, and then you can go sing that for him, and then kiss, make love and happily ever after." She muttered. I frowned at her.
"Make what?" I asked. She just chuckled nervously.
"Nothing, I didn't say that ok!" She said starting to curl my hair. I just shook my head and looked down at the paper with the lyrics on it.
"What's the name of that song?" She asked.
"Myself." I whispered with a smile on my face. Soon we were finished and put on the new dress I got and grabbed the lyrics and Takuto's shirt.
"Go get him Mitsuki." Meroko said. I smiled and put my shoes on and ran all the way back to him apartment. Once I was standing outside his door. My hands were trembling as I brought my hand up to knock.
"Oh hello Mitsuki." Dr Wakaouji said. My eyes widened and I grabbed his hand leading him somewhere away from the door.
"Dr. Wakaouji, can you please stay out for a little longer. I need to talk to Takuto about something that I should have told him a long time ago." I said. He smiled and nodded.
"I understand." He said giving me a hug.
"Good luck kiddo." He said then walked away. I took a deep breath and looked back at the door. I walked over to it slowly and heard Takuto singing softly. I sighed happily at the beautiful sound. I shook my head remembering why I was here and knocked on the door. It swung open to reveal Takuto.
"Mitsuki? What are you doing here?" He asked. I smiled.
"May I come in Takuto?" I asked. He just nodded and stepped aside. I walked in and turned around to him.
"Is there a special occasion or something?" He asked. I tilted my head slightly.
"Why are you all dressed up?" He asked blushing lightly. I just smiled and walked over to him.
"Is it so wrong that I'm dressed up?" I asked in a teasing voice. He just shook his head.
"Of course not, you look beautiful Mitsuki." He said. I took a step back and looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Takuto, there's something I really need to tell you." I said. He looked at me puzzled. I was suddenly scared to sing the song for him because I still didn't have my voice back. But I closed my eyes clasped my hands together and sang, hoping for the best.
"Doushite doushite suki nan darou
Konna ni namida afureteru
Ano koro ha ushinau mono ga oosukite nani mo utaenakatta
Sukoshi hanareta basho soko ga watashi no ibasho datta
My voice was back again, and even more powerful. It felt amazing to be singing with a healthy voice. I smiled and sang even louder not afraid anymore.
Kimi no hitomi no oku ni ano hi samishisa wo mitsuketa
Futari niteru no kana? fuu
Kitsukeba itsu mo tonari ni ite kureta
Doushite konna ni suki nan darou
Kimi no koe kanshii hodo hibiiteru yo
Ima made nani ga sasae datta ka
Tooku hanarete wakatta yo
Nakinagara sagashi tsuduketa maigo no kodomo no you ni
Kedo soko ni ha eien nante aru wake nakute
"dare mo shinjinakereba iin da yo" tsubuyaita ne
Futari niteru no kana? fuu
Ano toki kimi wo mamoru to kimeta no ni
Doushite omoide ni suki nan darou

Kimi no koe kanshii hodo hibiiteru yo

Doushite konna ni suki nan darou
Kantan sugite kotae ni naranai."
I opened my eyes slowly and smiled at Takuto who was staring at me with a surprised expression on his face. I walked back over to him.
"Takuto," I said quietly taking his hands in mine. He looked down at me.
"Mitsuki, that song, it was so beautiful." He said. I smiled.
"I wrote it because of you. Takuto, I love you." I whispered. I got up on my toes and touched my lips to his. He pushed into the kiss and wrapped his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around his neck in attempt to bring him closer. We broke apart panting for air. He touched his forehead to mine.
"So where did this come from?" He asked. I blushed.
"Meroko helped me realize it because I'm very dense." I said. He chuckled and kissed my lips.
"Yes you are, but that's one of the reasons why I love you." He said. I smiled.
"Oh is it? What are the other reasons?" I asked. He just smiled and took my hand guiding me over to the couch. We sat down and I leant up against him.
"Oh how the way you shine when you hear music, or how happy you look when you sing, or how you can make others around you smile. Or how you blush when you are embarrassed or mad." He said.
"Is that all?" I whispered with a small smile. He chuckled.
"Of course not, those are just the things that stand out the most. I love everything about you Mitsuki." He said. I got goose bumps when he said that. I looked up at him and smiled.
"I'm glad you got your voice back." He said holding onto me tighter. I nodded.
"Me too, it felt so great to sing like that. I felt so alive." I said. We sat in a comfortable silence.
"Mitsuki," He whispered in my ear. I looked up at him.
"I love you." He said. I smiled and kissed his cheek, then his other cheek, and then I hovered over his lips.
"I love you too Takuto." I whispered back before connecting our lips. He ran his fingers through my hair and down my back. I felt his tongue slide across my lips. I hesitated, but opened my mouth slightly. Our tongues danced together. It felt weird, but yet it made me feel like I was on fire. We pulled apart panting for air. He lied down on his back and pulled me down with him. I was about to ask what he was doing until he rested my head on his chest and held me tightly around the waist. I could feel his breath on the top of my head. I blushed heavily. It was so comfortable lying like this, I could stay here all day. I cuddled closer to him.
"Do you want to be a singer Mitsuki?" He asked. I nodded.
"More than anything." I said. He chuckled and took my hand in his.
"Then how about we do it together?" He said. I smiled and closed my eyes.
"That sounds perfect." I said. 'My birthday wish has come true.' I thought.
My eyes started to droop, and I finally fell asleep to the beat of heart.
I wish that I can make Takuto happy again and that Eichi will leave my life, and my heart.
YAY! They are finally together! Awe they are so cute! haha ok I know I totally suck at writing kissing scenes and I apologize for that, but it's kind of hard to describe it when you've never experienced it. Please review :)
