2: Goodbye, Hello –KYORU
It's been exactly two years since the day she left them and they got her back. It had been the hardest day of his life—until now. That day, he'd unexpectedly lost a part of him that he knew he'd have to give up. It hadn't been the hardest day of his life because of that—no, he didn't even realize what he had lost at the time—but it had been the hardest day of his life because he'd had to spend it with Yuki (that damn rat, he meant) to get back that missing piece.
Today, though, was different. It was going to be the hardest day of his life because he had something to say. His problem was, he knew she would listen—and he didn't really want her to. He did, but…at the same time, he didn't. He just wished he could blurt it out—to get it off his chest—and she wouldn't be listening so he wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
He was on the roof, his usual spot now, it seemed. Whenever he was troubled he came up to the roof. It wasn't as much of a getaway now as it had been two years ago. Now, he'd much rather be spending his time inside with her, than out here in the cold air on the roof. But, he was troubled (which is why he was there). But, as every time he disappeared onto the roof, she would come and get him.
He heard her light footsteps at the bottom of the ladder, and didn't move. She climbed onto the roof and sat beside him. He didn't want her to say anything, but he knew she would. She was worried—of course she'd say something. He looked at her and she was smiling at him. His heart jumped and his cheeks flushed, but she couldn't tell because hers were flushed too from the frigid air.
"Let's go inside." He told her, and grabbed her hand. He led her towards the ladder and let her go down first. They were inside when he stopped her, and looked into her eyes with a true smile on his face. "You had me at goodbye, you know?" He left the room, still smiling, leaving her a bit confused and anxious to know just what he'd meant. But as she thought about it, that goodbye two years ago had been the hardest thing she'd ever said. But saying hello had never felt better.
