Summary: Their last confessions to each other on the night of her 18th birthday.
STAY
8-8-8
She looked at her watch and looked around. She was seemingly looking for someone…more of expecting someone. She waited nervously. 'Isn't he supposed to be here by now?' She thought, still looking around. She looked at the ground and closed her eyes. She hoped for him to come on the very special night of her life.
She hoped harder by the moment that passed by. She looked around again. No sign of him. Breathed slower and heavier, suddenly she felt a slight tap on her shoulder. She spun around and smiled sweetly. "Suboshi," she said and gave him a big hug.
Suboshi didn't look happy at all. He stared at her and forced a smile "Yui," he replied as he saw his lady's face turn from happy to nervous.
Yui looked at Suboshi nervously "What's the matter?" she asked with her voice trembling.
Suboshi pulled Yui to the veranda and breathed deeply. "I have to tell you something," he said looking deeply into her eyes.
Yui felt her eyes getting very teary now. She was afraid. Afraid to lose him. "What?" she asked hesitantly.
Suboshi closed his eyes and then looked at her again. "I'm being called again" Suboshi blew it up. "They need me, they need my help," he added in.
Yui felt her tears flowing to her cheeks "But why now?" she asked, almost whispering the words. "They won't take you away from me again,"
Suboshi frowned slightly "War's going on again; I don't know what the hell happened again." He answered, hearing his voice trembling.
"Can't you just decline?" she asked.
He shook his head "I can't…I can't let them die there."
Yui cried harder "But…not now that I've realized something very important"
Suboshi looked at his lady "Before I leave, I have to tell you something I should've told you earlier."
Yui sobbed and sobbed as she kept looking at him "Suboshi,"
"Miss Yui, I love you."
Yui shook her head "I love you too, Suboshi…don't leave me…please don't"
Suboshi shook his head too "I have to…but always remember that I love you and I always will."
Yui cried harder again "Please don't go…stay with me…stay with me." She said, crying. Yui gripped harder on Suboshi's arms. "I want you to stay!"
Suboshi freed himself from her grip "I want to stay, but I have to go my way."
Yui tried to grip on him again "Never go away from me again! Stay forever!" She cried as she said those words to her love.
Suboshi stepped back "I love you, Miss Yui…I always will." He said and turned around.
Yui embraced him hard from the back "Please…please don't go…stay…stay. Don't leave me."
Suboshi turned to Yui "Listen! I have to go…this is for your own good!" He shouted at her for her to let him go…but he knew he didn't want to.
Yui stared at Suboshi as she cried "But you promised me you'll stay!" She shouted at him as he left swiftly. Yui watched him leave her all alone. "I love you, Suboshi," she whispered.
8-8-8
Suboshi leaned on the wall outside Yui's house "I love you," he whispered too. Suboshi walked and stopped. He looked at the house for the last time and at last…left the world where Yui was.
