It was something neither had expected, but both had secretly wanted. The question remained: where exactly did something like that lead? The answer: perhaps not where either was expecting. Rated T for adult themes.

Shortly after his third year at Sobu High begins, Hachiman finds out that he is terminally ill. While the others are moving on to the next stage in life, he's moving on to the final stage of his. How will this affect him and everyone around him? This is my first fanfic and I really love the series, so here goes. Note: I started this between the release of Volumes 11 and 12.

After ten years apart, Hikigaya Hachiman meets up with Yui and Yukino.

Haruno is tired of Yukino's feeble attempts at winning Hikigaya over and his own ability to deny the truth about how the girls in the Service Club feel about him. It's only natural that if her clumsy little sister couldn't claim her prize, the older one should take it instead, right?

He wasn't going to make it, if he kept on like this. Hikigaya Hachiman starts anew, against the only person willing to let him remain detached from the world.

Yukino is now a 20 year old college sophomore. She's taken a more active role in her family without neglecting the friends she's made. In a sense, Yukino has found her place. But an incident, a misunderstanding, will put her on a path that will ultimately lead her to make a choice between friendship, love and family. Yukino-pov. YukinoX8man.
