A.N: Sorry for the late update. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and very happy holidays! I can't believe it went by so fast! It's currently Dec 30 that I am working on this, but I know I'll be posting this after the New Year.

So I hope that everyone had an amazing New Year. All the best to you, your families and for health!

If you guys were wondering, no I didn't forget about the Reigisa 'Best Date Ever' fic XD. I plan to finish 'Decisions' first and then work on it. I have everything planned out; it just has to be typed. This will be the last chapter and then I will have an epilogue.

Thank you to everyone who has been reading so far!

The two weeks that Hikaru was required to stay in the hospital flew by quickly. She was kept company by the frequent visits of her swim team, Gou, her father, Rin and even Sousuke, Momo and Nitori. She was surprised to see them but their visit made her happy!

When her father came to visit two weeks ago the day after Rin left, Hikaru told him what she had to. She told him that after she graduated university, she wanted to move to Australia to live with Rin. It took her a while to muster up the courage to tell him and she was nervous to see and hear his reaction. But she had worried for nothing. He accepted her decision and supported it as well. He wasn't going to tell her what to do anymore.

They had made the compromise that he came with her. Not living with her, just being in Australia. Hiro felt nervous about sending her to Australia alone so he wanted to come along. Luckily, his company has a building there so he could just transfer location. Hiro asked his boss in advance and he said it was okay. Until Hikaru graduated, Hiro was going to work here in Japan.

Hikaru had to admit, she was also nervous of going to Australia alone. Her father was going to be there at least. They were going to live in different cities though. It was better to be 30mins apart than almost 11 hours apart. Hikaru was looking forward to her future and couldn't wait to see what it had in store.

During the first week, Makoto and Haru would come visit her and bring the notes that they took in class. They didn't come to visit her all the time though. Nationals were coming quickly and Hikaru didn't want to be the cause of lack of practice. The final exam was coming up and they wanted to help Hikaru study. Even in Hikaru's free time she studied. She made sure to study hard and ask a lot of questions of what she didn't understand. She wanted to pass this test and not take the year over again.

The next week, Rin told her he was going to Australia with Haru for a couple of days. Hikaru was glad that Rin was taking Haru to Australia. With Haru not knowing what he wants to do in the future, this trip might have him figure it out.

There was a knock at the door and Hikaru knew immediately who it was.

"Come in, Makoto!"

Makoto opened the door and entered the room. Today was a great day. Hikaru was getting out of the hospital and Rin and Haru were coming back from Australia. Today was the perfect time to be getting out. Nationals were two days away and Hikaru really wanted to be there to cheer everyone on. So when the doctor told her the good news, she cried tears of joy.

It didn't hurt for Hikaru to move anymore and she was able to walk but she just had to take it easy. The 'no year of swimming' was still in effect.

"Are you ready?"

Hikaru nodded. She was dressed in jeans and a hoodie that her father brought her from home. "I'm ready!" She got up from the bed and went over to Makoto. Her father had brought her bag home so she didn't have to carry much. She only had her cell phone on her.

"Haru and Rin should be at the airport in a bit. Their flight landed already."

"Okay! Let's go, let's go!"

Xxx

Upon arriving at the airport, Hikaru and Makoto waited for Haru and Rin. When the boys saw them, Hikaru and Makoto waved.

"Makoto! Hikaru!" Rin exclaimed.

"Rin!" Hikaru trotted over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She planted a big kiss on his lips.

Rin smiled happily and kissed her back. "It's nice to see you out of that hospital bed up and about." He grinned.

Hikaru giggled. "Ya! I'm happy too."

"You guys came all this way to meet us at the airport?" Rin asked.

"Yeah!"

"You guys must be tired after your long trip." Makoto said, directing his attention on Haru.

Haru wanted to say something but nothing could come out. He still felt really bad about what happened with him and Makoto.

"Haru…"

Haru looked up at Makoto.

"Welcome home."

Nationals were finally here. It was the day that the swim team had been looking forward to. It's what they've been training so hard to make to.

Hikaru was in the stands with Gou, Miho and Coach Sasabe. The relay started and everyone cheered the loudest that they could. Tears formed in Hikaru's eyes when the boys won first place. She was so happy for them. They worked really hard for this win.

Xxx

Haru, Hikaru and Makoto had a flight to Tokyo in two hours but first, they had to stop by at Samezuka because Rin had told them that he had something he wanted to show them.

But first, they had to go to the swim club and the boys wrote down all the sights they saw during the relay. Hikaru was not part of the relay, so she wrote about how grateful she was to be part of the swim club.

"Oh, can I open one now?" Coach Sasabe asked, reaching for a sealed envelope.

"No, you can't!" Hikaru responded.

"We're going to open them in a few years when we're all together again." Rei told him.

Makoto glanced at his watch. "We better go. We still have to stop by Samezuka academy."

Xxx

Upon arriving at Samezuka, the Iwatobi swim club came face to face with Samezuka's former swim captain.

"Now, I'll show you the most incredible sight you've never seen before, right here!" Rin opened the pool doors and each member of the swim club stared in awe.

The pool was covered in cherry blossom petals.

"OH MY GOD!" Escaped Hikaru's lips. It was such a beautiful sight. She had never seen anything like this. "I want to swim in this!"

The boys let out a laugh.

"Well I can't swim in this, per the doctor's orders…but I'll just float or something! Yeah that's it!" Hikaru rambled.

"Yes, we definitely will. I just have to give you something first."

Hikaru looked over at Rin who was holding a ring in front of her. "R-Rin…"

There was a blush on his cheeks. "It's not…I mean…it's just a promise ring." He showed her his hand and that he had one too. "I love you, Hikaru. And in 2 years, when you come to Australia, I'll give you the real thing."

Happy tears fell down Hikaru's cheeks. "I love you too, Rin."

Rin put the promise ring on her finger.

Hikaru looked at the boys. "You guys knew about this."

"Of course we did!" They replied in unison.

Rin let out a laugh.

They all undressed and ran towards the pool.

In the water, they all splashed each other happily while Haru floated in the water.

Hikaru went over to Rin and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you."

Rin wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love you too."

And they kissed.
