I didn't care about the drawing at the back. I didn't care about the time or where the sun was at that moment. I didn't care about my car being in the parking lot. I didn't care if anyone saw me cry. All I cared about was running.

A Run to Happiness

Like Tamaki said, I had chased after her. I didn't know if I was too late or if I was just in time. I didn't even know if running to the parking lot would save time. I didn't want to know anymore. All I wanted to do was run to her and tell her exactly how I felt. I was running out of time. I was running out of breath. And I was slowly losing her.

"Shit!" I cursed I was realized the traffic jam in the street. It's rush hour. Of course, there would be a traffic jam. Here I was thinking that I could get a cab to the airport. I looked at my wristwatch. I had taken a lot of time in reading the paper. I had taken too much time and was losing it as every second reached the next. I turned to look for a faster way out of this. Everywhere I looked it was filled.

"Damn it! I'll just run." I said to myself as I took off on to the next corner. I passed strangers, bumped into children, and almost hit a post as I turned to the side.

And after a long jog from our school, I reached the pit stop, soaking wet. I felt the suspense coming up. There was a lot of time till her flight. I had a lot of time to look for her. This was good. I turned around to begin my search and bumped into someone while doing that. How careless of me. I got too jittery I hadn't realized that there were people around.

"Sorry" I said as I started walking.

"Ootori!" someone yelled from behind.

"Okawa" I said as I stared back at her.

"What's with the wet look?" she asked as she pointed to my clothes.

I wiped off the dropping sweat on my forehead and walked closer to her. "Don't go."

"Huh?" she asked with a confused look. "I'm leaving in thirty minutes and I already paid for my ticket. It'll just go to waste."

I ignored what she said and held on to both her arms. "I'm serious. Don't go."

"Why?"

I thought she was smart. I thought she would actually get a clue as to why I didn't want her to go. This girl was stupid. Her stories are all so hopeless romantic, but here she is clueless of what seems so obvious.

"Do you seriously want me to tell you the reason?" I said a little annoyed. I haven't planned this out so I didn't know what was coming in next. I had just thought that if I started off with "Don't go" then she would get the whole point of as to why I was soaking wet and why I was here in the airport.

"I guess" She shrugged, "I don't have too much time."

"You don't get why I'm here?" I said, delaying the time. I didn't want to confess in this place. It was perfect. It just wasn't right.

"No." she said bluntly. "I don't even know why you're wet."

I grabbed the letter from the pocket. It had crumpled because of how I placed it in my pocket as I ran. "Remember this?"

She dropped her bag and covered her mouth. "You already read it? I thought Tamaki would give it to you tomorrow."

"Tamaki read it three hours ago, when you gave it to him, before you left." I replied. "And I read it just awhile ago before I ran here."

"You ran here?" She was surprised. Who wouldn't be? No one can ever make me run that distance and only this girl has successfully done it without her knowing why.

"Why did you think I was wet?"

She shrugged. "Some little kid wet you on your way here?"

"Whatever." I went straight back to where we left off. "This is the reason I came here. You told me to run. And Tamaki said so, too. And so I ran to you, of course. Who else would I run to?"

She was silent. She stared deep into my eyes.

"And don't stop me when I start talking because I'm only saying this and once only."

She nodded her head.

I took a deep breath. This was going to be a long sermon. "You told me to run. And I ran. I ran because I didn't want to know that you were crying every night just because you wanted to see me. I ran because I wanted to call you "Yuki" someday. I ran because I wanted to be with you. I want you to call me by my first name. I want to hold your hand and not worry at all. I want to know that you're not feeling guilty about your grades or if Shirou is getting sick at a certain moment. I wanted you to find me as a good source of inspiration for all your stories, and all the other drawings that will enter your big stupid head." I walked closer to her. Slowly my hands reached her neck, her shoulder, her cheek. "I don't there to be a reason for us to be separated. I don't you to take that flight off to Okinawa. I don't want anywhere away from my sight. It's unbearable."

I saw that her eyes were wet. I wiped them off with my thumb. I closed in the gap between us. And before I kissed her, I said something that made her cry more.

"I love you, Yuki"

Four words. Those four words were words I thought would never come together. But there was chemistry to it. As if those words were meant to be tied up together.

I kissed her softly on her lips. It was a first time, but I guess it went fine. I would never know if there was nothing to compare it with. But it felt like it was just the both of us, like were one being held on tight by that small kiss. She kissed me back a second after. She wrapped her arms around my neck and we stayed in that position longer than I expected.

As we pulled apart, I looked into her eyes. They were red for the tears that spilled. She closed them and both our foreheads touched. "When did you realize it?" she whispered.

"A second after reading your letter." I replied back.

"So, what do you want me to do with the ticket? They don't accept refunding." I couldn't believe she bothered to ask while we were in this position.

"Keep it. It's a reminder of today." I replied immediately and gave her another quick kiss. "Let's go home."

We pulled away from each other. She looked at her ticket one more time and then back to me. She suddenly turned red and yelped.

"What?" I asked while pushing up my glasses.

"I suddenly realized what just happened." She covered her mouth.

I raised one eye brow. "Where were you this whole time?" I yelled then slapped her head. "Don't tell me you were unconscious?"

"No, that's not it!" She waved her hands around. "I just made a realization."

I looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"I can call you Kyouya, and you can call me Yuki. And we're officially together." She sighed.

"You make it sound so sad. You suddenly regret it?" I asked. Being together was something hard. It was the fact that you had to love one person and make sure that you didn't stare at anybody else. It was making only one girl happy and not any other. It was another challenge.

"No, I don't. I just couldn't believe it. I actually have a boyfriend."

"Is this what girls think about?" I asked rhetorically.

"Don't you guys think about that, too?"

I shrugged. "I guess we should go tell Tamaki the good news."

She nodded.


A/N: Did anyone miss me? Because I so missed all of you!!! And isn't this great? They're finally together. I'll give all of you a heads up. Remember the first chapter?
