Kazuya's PoV
I wish she would have chose me. I sigh as a sat at the edge of the rock watching the waves crash at each other. I sigh once again. I just wish life is easy. "Hey kazu.." I didn't look because I already knew who its was. "yo ichijo" he sat beside me "so uh how are you?" he hesitantly looks at me and looks away. it became silent for a moment. "I'll be fine, just take care of Rise, will you?" he looks directly at me "Wait do you like rise?" I just looked at him not knowing how I should answer that "You like her, Don't you?" he started to smirk.
"yea... I like her.. but don-" Before I finished my sentence he hug me "Bro get off" I was so confused I didn't know what was that about "kazu don't ever give up on rise, got it?" What the hell is he even talking about. "Rise is your girlfriend you brat" He laughed loudly "No no no she isn't" He said " Yes she- wait what? she's not?" He shakes his head "She isn't" I grabbed him "You're serious right? no take backs?" He put up his hand "Yeah we just did that to make you feel jealous not give up on her. Oops" he said while smirking. "Thanks"
I need to find Rise. I ran to where the group is "Hey have you seen Rise?" They pointed that way. I ran as fast as i could until i saw kyoko. I still needed to give her answer.
"Kyoko look.. i'm reall-" she shush me "Kazu you don't need to answer me now" I grabbed her "I'm really sorry kyoko but I need to answer now" I look at her seriously then she nodded. "I liked you ever since we were young. I admired you I even want to marry you but... but kyoko when you were gone Rise was there she brought me the light that I needed. you were my safezone always keeping me warm not letting me out to the danger. but she.. she was my savior.. she's my savior when I was in danger. she was there for me through my ups and downs. I know I'm not making any sense right now but one thing I can say is that. I love her"
She removed my hand from her then sigh and looked at me. "Nothing can stop you?" I nodded "Then go" she signals me to go to the villa where we were staying. I run as fast as I could to tell Rise that i truly love her and I don't want anyone other than her. Just her alone.
I stand at the back of her door. "Rise? are you there?" I heard a crash. I opened the door immediately "You okay?" Then I saw Rise sitting on the ground "Ka-Kazu-kun? what are you doing here?"
Rise's PoV
Kazu likes me.. But I ruined it. I shouldn't have agreed on that plan. Kazu was hurt because of me. How could I even face him. I want kazu, I like him so much, I want him to be mine and mine alone. "Kazu i like yo-"
"Rise? are you there?" kyah! i threw the pillow and I fell on my butt. The door opened immediately and saw kazu with concerned face "You okay?" I was so flustered "Ka-Kazu-kun? what are you doing here?"
He scratch the back of his head and shyly said "Wanna take a walk? The sky is beautiful" then smiles. Every little thing he does makes my heart melt. "sure"
We were walking side by side. Waves were calm while the sky was full of stars. It was so beautiful just like the night of the festival when me and Kazu was alone. I looked at him and thought and wished I could turn back the time. The time before i've hurted him. The time when ichijo asked me to do the plan.
I felt tears running through my cheeks. Kazu looked at me worried. "Hey why are you crying" going on with the most soothing tone i've ever heard. He wiped away my tears. "I just.. I just wished we could go back to the time at the festival" I weeped more. Then out of nowhere he pulled me into a tight hug. My eyes were widen, I didn't know what was happening but it felt like eternity.
Then he started to speak. "Ichijo told me about it." I looked at him confused "what?" Then he repeated "Ichijo told me your plan to make me jealous. Though you didn't need to because I was planning to confess that night" He chuckled. "I'm sorry.."
"Rise.. well done You really did captured my heart" He smiled " Could you give me another chance? no more waiting. Not as friends but as lovers?" He was turning red I nodded. I couldn't stop crying because of the joy I've felt.
He caress my cheeks. I closed my eyes instinctly. He leans closer and closer until there were no more space between us. He kissed me below the sky full of stars. Hearing the soothing sounds of the waves. It was a night to remember.
