It was the night before regionals and you where home packing. Putting what you needed and taking in your suitcase.
"...Almost done."you tell yourself, putting your nicely folded clothes in the suitcase. Lining it neatly.
Packing like this made you think of the future. The thought made you stop suddenly. Reality began to settle in, looking around your room that has been your room for months. You've come to actually enjoy living in it. Now seem to be fading. Making you wonder if it was the right choice? That you made. Because inside you felt something, that was equal to physical pain. Looking at your clothes, clothes that would soon be nothing but a mere memory of your third year. With everyone. Growing up really hurt.
Regionals, this would be the last one you would be attending with everyone. Both teams Samezuka and Iwatobi. The last time to be with everyone, and should they make it to Nationals...
Shutting your eyes to not think about it. That feeling of loneliness came back, everything started to fade. Did things have to come and go so fast? Thinking about what Mako, Nagisa and Rin said and asked, made you feel miserable. You could't answer them, even if you wanted too. You just couldn't. Just last week you received a text from Seijuro with the same question,you could feel his pride and joy. Which you falsely felt. Looking again around the room. Dropping your head, a faint smile appears.
Haru comes home finally after a late night practice with his team. They where working on their relay exchanges, before they headed to regionals. All was quiet, lights off. Nothing but the sound of the crickets from outside. Glancing at the clock reading the time, it was passed shut eye time. Turning his eyes upward to the ceiling, in the direction of her room.
No doubt she must be sleeping. He tells himself. Being as quiet as possible he goes to the kitchen, to the fridge opening it finding to his surprise and joy mackerel dinner. Covered up in plastic wrap, with his name on it. He takes it out and goes to heat it up. This was truly a treat, one he was expecting to find coming home. Considering he had to change up what he loved to eat since May moved in. She kind of was tolerant of eating what he enjoyed. As she was in a sense the guest. But that eventually faded, and complained a bit if they could something else. Mix it up. Though not budging at first he did eventually. With having his favorite dish for lunch was alright it wasn't enough. Though he didn't mind eating other things, if mackerel wasn't present well he would a have liked it. But, she was his friend and due to her tragedy he like the others wanted her to feel comfortable. Though this was a surprise, her actually having his dish set aside. He wondered if that was what she made for dinner? Because if she did, that was rather cruel of her. Flipping the note open he reads it. While eating. It didn't take him long to finish, since it was only him. Once done he cleans up, climbs the stairs and proceeded to his room.
He stops before opening the door, turning the knob, pushing the door open he goes in, quiet walking over to the bed stopping. His eyes scan the room noticing the suitcase and duffel bag by the desk. His eyes stay upon the baggage, then direct to the one sleeping in bed. Nearly a year they've been here with him in this empty house. His parents didn't mind them staying and becoming their guardian for the time being, until they graduate. Well they would still be in a sense underage to be living on their own even when they went off to college. Should they choose to go. Going in a different direction if they choose. He didn't know what their choice was, they never talked about it to anyone. He was sure they weren't undecided like he was. It was clear they had made up their mind. What their choice was to be, he like the others didn't know. All of them assuming nearly identical choice they've made. Each of them proud of them, in their own way. They worked rather hard, after what they've been through. Anyone really in their position could have easily fallen off. But they didn't. They had help from everyone who brought them back. Taking them out of that storm they felt themselves lost in. A storm none of them could never really imagine going through. But, could feel it. Those years away from them affected them all, but they didn't know how badly until words where told.
Again nearly a year has gone by, with his future undecided he wondered something often. Looking at them sleeping, peacefully. Watching their shoulders gently rise and fall. Their first night here, he remembered they had trouble sleeping. Having flashbacks and nightmares. He would often hear them crying in their sleep. Trying so hard to conceal it, but he heard. Now, they could sleep peacefully. Going through so much, he was rather glad they had overcome it. Returning to their lively and sweet self. That carried throughout the whole place. A complete opposite of him. Yet, blended well together. Surprisingly. It made them comfortable. That was all really. Looking at their blanket, he pulls it up more to cover them and tucks them in a bit more. It was the least he could do. Being careful not to wake them from their slumber. He wasn't sure what came over him, that made him do that gesture. But he did.
Turning around he walks out the room, stopping before exiting. Glancing back at them, just as they rolled facing the wall. He was sure he saw a faint smile on them. If he squint his eyes well enough. Being careful and quiet he leaves the room, shutting the door softly.
The train came to your stop and you get off quickly. Dressed in your Samezuka attire. With your things and hurry to Samezuka, looking at the time. You would make it, you knew you would. Today everyone was heading to regionals. The sun was barely rising when you left, now it was up and ready to go. Trying to suppress your own yawn, being a bit tired from waking up early. But filled with energy. Being careful not to trip over your own two feet. Seeing the school right ahead.
Rin looked at his rooster and watched as his team loaded the charter bus. Sosuke stood by him with Aiichiro. Double checking everyone was here, normally this would have been the manger's job, but she wasn't here...yet.
He lets out a stressful sigh. Looking around."Where is she?"he said.
Sosuke couldn't help but smirk."Hn..."
Rin noticed it."What's with the smirk?"he question his friend. Sosuke just kept smiling.
"You seem rather worried."he points out."We have nearly everyone on and your worried about her. You do realize Momo is missing too."
Rin grumbles at him."I know Momo is missing. Okay. I am well aware of that."he defends himself."I'm just hoping she doesn't miss the bus. Because we can't come back."
"We did load some of her equipment."Aiichiro tells Sosuke."It would be a shame if May missed it. Not to mention,"he looks to Rin."You have som-"Rin gives him a sharp glare, shushing him."Y-You know, never mind. Haha."he laughs nervously, looking away scared.
"She should have stayed over."Rin tells him, sounding more like he was blaming himself."I had a feeling this was going to happen."He takes out his phone seeing no message from May. Nor missed call.
"Wait for me!"Momo yells running over, waving his hands, running. Getting their attention."Hey! Wait for me!"
"Well, Momo is here."Sosuke tells Rin."That's nearly everyone one."
"..."Rin sighs.
"I'm here! I'm here!"
They hear you yelling, looking in the other direction seeing you. Running, with your bag and suitcase, and an extra bag. A grocery bag. They turn back towards Momo, then back to you.
"Their going to-"Aiichiro panics."Momo! May wait! STOP!"he yells, but it was all in vain, before he, Rin or Sosuke could do anything it was too late.
By the time you and Momo realized too, the collusion happened. Both of you crashed into the other, toppling over the other. Bags went flying and minor injuries no doubt. That hurt, your head hurt. Rubbing it a bit, to try and make sense of what just happened.
"Ow..."you whine."My head...it hurts..What did I run into? A wall?"Flinching from the minor pain."What a hard wall."
"Hey!?"Momo snaps."What's the big idea?!"
Realizing it was him, you where stun at first though that all went away when he started yelling at you."Oh..it's you. Geeze Momo, what's you problem?"you blame him."Didn't you see me?"
"W-What?!"He was shocked."Didn't you see me? I was coming first! You crashed into me!"He blames you.
"W-what!?"you where baffled by what he said."No I didn't! I was clearly coming first! Your big head nearly gave me a concussion!"
"My head's not big! If you weren't so small then I might have seen you! Y-You imp!"
"Oh no."Aiichiro sighs."They're going to start."
Applauded and offended by what he just called you. Not to mention upset."Be quiet you bug boy!"
He gasp in horror."Their not bugs! Their beetles! You witch."
"Clumsy otter."
"Heartless vixen!"
"Annoying."
"Cruel."
The two of you banter at the other one, bickering non-stop with insults. While the others and those on the bus watch."Their at it again."Aiichiro shakes his head."Honestly those two, can be more alike then they realize."
"This is stupid."Rin mumbles to himself. Messaging his temples aggravated by the two before him arguing over and over. Over the most stupidest thing."Their wasting time."
Sosuke couldn't help but smirk."It's actually entertaining."
"You're not helping."Rin hushes him, then focuses back on the two. Having enough he puts an end to it."ENOUGH!"And that was enough to end it all. By the look Rin had, you and Momo quickly stop, grab your things and board."They seriously...you know what never mind. Let's just go."he tells the other two. Allowing them to load first, he follows after finding they had stopped."What the?"He peers around Sosuke to find you handing out snacks to everyone from your grocery bag.
Which the team greatly appreciated and enjoyed."What is she doing?"Rin said rather confused. Sighing again."We have to go. C-Can you two just..."he points for them to take their seat, which they do. Though not before you gave them their snack.
"Did I forget anyone?"you asks, double checking seeing everyone had something."Good."You smile.
"May."Rin calls to you, you turn around to him seeing him thumbing to the first two seats."Come on,let's go."
Understanding, you go and make your way to the seat. Expecting him take the window seat, he instead gives it to you. This was a surprise. Which you gladly take, Aiichiro watches you happily take the seat with Rin following, he smiles to himself. Once Rin sat down he tells the driver to go. When the bus moved your heart jumped. It made you smile to yourself. The ride there was wonderful, you would though sit up in your seat to talk with those behind and Rin. Some would ask if you had anymore snacks. Which you did and didn't mind getting up to give it to shared laughs with them, answered questions if they had any on their form. You even congratulated Aiichiro with a surprise treat for improving his time. Despite what happened with you and Momo outside, you did apologize to him in a way and the two of you talked. Well he actually did more so than you. You even praised him too. Which he found rather embarrassing but took it.
Rin didn't mind you doing your thing, watching you interact with the team, pumping them up and providing encouragement, even taking pictures of everyone too. It was refreshing to see you being this way. Just like how you were back then. Your eyes smiling brightly. With that cheerful smile on, that made anyone feel welcomed and important. The kindness and care when you spoke. The smallest gestures to assure the others. Making them feel comfortable. You treated everyone here so well. He smiles to himself, when his phone vibrates. Taking it out, reading just a bit of it before he had to put his phone away when heard you coming back. Saying excuse me, you take your seat.
"You know, you spoil them too much."he tells you smirking to himself.
You laugh to yourself. Shrugging your shoulders."I see no harm in that. Besides,"you lean over him and look at everyone."..."you didn't finish and smile to yourself sitting back. Closing your eyes soaking up the feeling all around you. A sense of peace."It's been so long since I've experienced this feeling. I love it."Opening your eyes looking to Rin."Thank you, Rin."
He smiles back at you shaking his head."For what?"
"Why do you always have to tease me?"you poke him, making you both share a laugh."You know why. Must I have to spell out to you all the time?"
"Yeah."he says casually."You don't make sense most of the time."
"That's because you never listen."you put the blame back on him, though in good spirit."But if I must, I guess you might as well. I just hope you can understand it in laymen terms."
"If you're putting it like that, then never mind. I think I have a feeling on what you mean. And you're welcome."He then points out the window."Look."
You look out the window at the scenery before you. A beautiful coastal scene, the water glisten like clear blue crystal. The sun's rays simmered over it like gold glitter. Skies as blue as the air itself. It was a sight to behold. Taking it all.
"It's so breathtaking..."you admit."I can't believe I missed this...last time..."you lament."So glorious, I could look at this all day."Captivated by what your eyes saw, you sit up in your chair, with your camera, aim your lens about to take it. When Rin comes and puts the window down for you."Thank you."Adjusting the lens and focus you take a few snaps each one getting what you needed.
Done, you look at the shots you took. This new feeling came over you, this warm feeling. Each picture you took was better than the last. Never would you have imagined you could capture such a picture. Such a moment. Sitting yourself back down, you still kept your eyes on the photo. Mumbling to yourself.
It took about another hour to get to the hotel, upon arriving you and the others where surprised to find that Iwatobi also was staying at the same hotel. Nagisa waste no time and hugs you. Which you return. You give Gou a hug too, say "Hi" to Rei who was delighted to see you. And jokingly asked how you managed to survive the ride. Everyone greets everyone, you though try to hide away from Ms. Miho, she still spots you and says hi. Which you return rather reluctant. Momo tries to woo Gou, Rin puts a stop to it,dragging him away.
"You sure have your hands full."Rei tells you.
Sighing you nod agreeing. Hearing Rin call for everyone, that was your cue. Excusing yourself and go with the team. Taking your bags, which you had a bit."Here."Sosuke comes and helps you.
"Oh..um.."you blush."T-Thank you..."When you remembered something, shoulder."Oh second thought, I have it."you tell him reaching for your suitcase. But he hoist up,where you couldn't reach it.
He just gives you a smile and carries your suitcase."I've got it."With that he follows the team.
You make it to the counter where Rin checks in everyone, giving them their room and room keys. Pretty much everyone is paired up with someone except you. Being the only female, which was understandable, though you where rather bum because you actually where hoping to room with Aiichiro. Rather disappointed too. Because you really wanted someone to play games with and you enjoyed his company. He was rooming with Momo just like back at the dorms. Though he assures you, the two of you will make time to sit and talk.
Everyone having their room key, Rin tells them to get settled and meet in twenty."So?"Sosuke comes over to you."Where's your room?"
You exploded inside turning nearly red, you started to sweat and panic. On the inside of course. Outside you just trembled like a leaf and lost your train thought. His question was all you could focus on at the moment. That and your wild imagination that went crazy. This couldn't be happening?! You scream inside, too soon. Way too soon. All the while you where think this, he stood there confused. Watching you fluster and silently squeal nervously. He was sure he heard your heartbeating like crazy in your chest. Though he didn't mind being patient with you, there was still the matter of getting settled in his own room too.
A pair of eyes watch you and Sosuke, though mainly pay attention to the behavior between you both. You looking like a little school girl with your crush. Squealing with joy inside, Sosuke standing by you, his hand out tapping your shoulder. No doubt you exploded inside, that you fainted.
Eventually you wake up on your own, finding yourself in your room on the bed. One of the two beds, sitting up rubbing the back of your head, trying to recall what happened and how you got here. Because the last you remember was being in the lobby before everything blacked out. Finding the light and turning it on, your things where here put on the other bed. Stretching for a bit, when you hear a knock on your door. Getting up you walk over and open it. Surprised at who it was.
"Hello May."I hope I'm wasn't interrupting you or anything. I was just wondering if you would like to get something to dinner with me and maybe we could have a little chat. What do you say?"
Rin finished announcing the members that would be involved in the events tomorrow. With the relay team being, Momo, Sosuke, Aiichiro and himself. Once the brief meeting was done, he tells everyone to make sure they get plenty of rest for tomorrow and dismisses the team.
Looking at the time, Aiichiro was rather happy."Well, I have sometime I can spend with May. I know she'll be happy. Well, if she's up and I hope-h-"
Overhearing him, Momo looks his way."After a fall like that, I highly doubt it. I'm not doctor but it was clear she hit hard. I'm surprised really, with a hard head like that she didn't leave a dent."
Aiichiro gives him a weary smile."Don't say those things. But I hope she's alright. Maybe I should let her rest. We can hangout later. Still..."
"Just let her rest."Rin tells him, coming over.
"O-Okay."Aiichiro complies though rather bummed.
Coming out of the shower, Mako hears a knock on the door. Answering it, finding Rin. Who came to see Haru for his own reason, wanting to know if his old friend had made a decision.
"So how long has he been gone?"Rin ask Mako. Who clearly didn't know.
Though assumed it had to be while he was in the shower."I don't know. He snuck while I was in the shower. You know he's probably out jogging or something."
"Great."Rin sighs rather annoyed and frustrated."The entire place is crawling with collage scouts. Of all the nights to go MIA. That guy is such a loose cannon."
Mako picked up on something with Rin."So you wanna talk to him about something."
"Yeah. I want to ask him if he's decided what he wanted to do yet. Guess he's just running away as usual. Big shock there. What is he thinking..."
"I wouldn't read to much into it."Mako tells him."With some people it's just how they clear their head. He's more of a doer than a talk."
"Well that's a polite way of putting it."Rin said a bit with disagreement in his voice but accepted it. Mako just chuckles. Now getting a bit more serious, Rin pulls up the small stool by the wall and turns his attention to Mako."Okay, enough about him. What's the story with you?"Ending Mako's laughter."Look theirs no reason swimmer of your level wouldn't be scouted by at least scouted by a seconder school."
Before Mako could answer that, a knock came to the door. Opening it finding Nagisa and Rei there who where rather surprised to find Rin with Mako instead of Haru.
"Rin?!"Nagisa and Rei say together shocked.
"Don't any of you people give a damn your swimming regionals tomorrow?"Rin berates them, flicking Nagisa on the forehead ."Go to bed."he tells them.
"Ow."Nagisa whines holding his forehead."Cut us some slack, it's barely eleven."
Rei though gets to the point."Is everything alright?"He asks Rin.
"I just dropped by to see Haru for a minute."He answers, leaving the room."He's out doing whatever, so I guess I'll just have to wait. Goodnight."
You stood by yourself on the elevator in deep thought, after the dinner you had, why wouldn't you be thinking this deeply. Conflict could be seen in your eyes if someone looked close enough. Unsure if this was the right thing to do, the more you thought about it, the more being to regret it. Becoming upset, you could feel the hot tears starting to form. But then again, maybe it wasn't all that bad. Trying to look on the bright side. Your mind drifted to wondering what April would say and what she thought. So lost in your entanglement of thoughts you didn't realize you had stepped off and had started walking.
"Wow! May-May you look really nice."Nagisa says, snapping you out of your thoughts. You look up surprised and shocked to find him, Rei, Mako and Rin who was halfway down the hall. Who turned around to hearing Nagisa. The blonde comes over into your personal space, curious as to why you where dressed in what you wore. Yellow strapless sundress with white floral design. Your hair was half up and rest down. Rather nicely. Wearing light brown wedges, about at least an inch. A white small jacket, you had a bit of make-up on. Just on your lips and some mascara. Though anyone could hardly tell, you also had that white seashell clip you managed to get fix in your hair.
"You look very lovely, May."Rei compliments you."Is there a special occasion?"
"Thank you."you thank him, then answer his question. Though you where hesitant for a second."Oh, umm well..I just thought I go out for a bit."You simple tell him with a smile."Yeah. Wanted to look around for a bit."
Nagisa didn't believe you and looks at you suspiciously."There is no way you would dress up so nicely, just for a night on the town..."his look was like he was pressuring you. Getting into your face. That you begin to feel uncomfortable and step back. His eyes trying really hard to read your own."I know!"Your heart jolts."You where on a date!"Your silence and shock seem to verify his accusation. While the others rather shocked."Yeah. That has to be it. But the real question is who where you out with? Hmm...I mean it couldn't be me nor Rei. Mako or Rin. That leaves..."He gasp."Haru's not here. And you just came back by yourself...It makes perfect sense the two of you had a secret date!"
"Nagisa,"Mako steps in."I think you're taking his a bit out of hand."
"But it makes perfect sense."He turns to Mako."I mean they do share the tub together."
"What?!"Rin appears behind, slightly scaring Nagisa from the sharp and dark glare of his eyes.
Rei sighs."Nagisa, stop jumping to conclusions."
"But it makes the most sense."Nagisa defends his claim."They could no longer deny it, they had to meet together in secret to spend a romantic night together."
"They live together."Rei tells him trying hard not to get frustrated."Why would they need to go out?"
"Better question, why are they bathing together?"Rin throws in, demanding an answer.
Nagisa thinks about what Rei said."Okay fair point. Then if not Haru...what about your friend Rin, Sosuke? Yeah, you finally asked out Sosuke didn't you May?"He looks at you with a wink and mischievous nudge. Snickering. While you just remained their to stun to speak not to mention flustering. Badly. Nagisa didn't stop there he kept going and going, burying you assumptions and questions.
That you nearly got crushed by its weight, if not for Rei who managed to hush him and shut him down."Nagisa."He grumbles. Then turns his attention back to you."Just pay him no mind. Anyway, you do very nice this evening May."
"He's right."Mako agrees."So was it a date?"He jokes with you. You didn't really find it funny, watching him smile to his own humor.
Your eyes look at each of them, a part of you wanted to say something but you didn't. Holding it in, instead you give them a rather tire smile."It wasn't a date, I just wanted to go out. That's all. Where's Haru?"you noticed.
"He's not here."Mako tells you."I'll tell him you say hi. It looks like you're tired, you should head to your room."He suggest.
"...Ma-"you stop yourself, looking away for a second."Yeah. Okay. Goodnight you guys."You bid them and leave, Rin follows you.
Mako and the others watch you walk off."She looked more like something was troubling her, than tired."Rei points out. Looking to Mako, who kept his smile on.
"She's tired."Was all he said.
Rin walks you all the way to your room, which you thank him. Though before you go in, he asks you not to go to sleep just yet. He'll be back in 10 minutes. Agreeing, you don't go to sleep instead you just clean yourself up. You had enough time, it actually took Rin twenty minutes really. You managed to shower and change into your nightwear. Blue shorts and a light blue tank top with bubbles. You let your hair down. Rin came back holding two boxes. To small ones, well one was really small, the other seem the size you would use for gifting clothes. He gives you that one and asks if he could come in. Which you didn't mind.
He sits on one bed and you on the other. Opening the box, to find to your surprise a Samezuka swimmer's jacket. With your name written on the front in yellow and on the back in large letters: MANAGER.
"...Wow. Thank you."you tell him trying it on, it fit like a glove.
"You're welcome."Rin said."The whole team thought it would be a good idea. After all you've done for us. Plus,"he looks at you smiling."You're member of this team."
"..."you smile warmly to yourself."And you say I spoil the team. So, what about the other box?"You look at the small little box in his hand."Is that my official manager whistle?"you joke. Laughing to yourself. Stopping when you noticed Rin didn't laugh with you. There was clearly something plaguing his mind or something. He seem so serious, which made you worry. Did he know? You weren't sure, but you started to get nervous and uneasy.
If he did know, how did he find out? You were careful to hide it away from everyone. To make sure they wouldn't catch on, that way...that way. You would spare their feelings. Then again, that was being selfish. After all they've done for you and what you've said to them. The moments and re-connection that has been reestablished. To soon come to a sudden end. Did he know? Did he? You wanted to know, because his silence was not helping you at all. Panicking inside now, you where here for regionals. Here to support everyone all that you could. Give it your all till the very end. Did he find out about Nationals? Thinking of your choice, you begin to curse yourself harshly. Watching his mouth begin to move. Heart pounding like a deep drum. Here it comes...you prepare yourself for it. Opening your mouth to quickly smooth over any anger he felt, with sincere apologize. Reach him before he crossed that finish line. Beg him not to tell the others, you would tell them. You promise that you would. Your arms jolt out to grab hold of him and desperately explain yourself. At that same time he holds out the small black box to you, standing up just as you lunge towards him. He turns around to face you, only to have you crash right him.
Causing him to hit his back up against the wall, luckily he managed to hold the small box up so there was no damage done. Except for you, hitting his chest, you got knocked back. Rubbing your noise. Complaining how it might be broken and apologizing to Rin. Who just gives you a dumbfounded look. "You're so weird sometimes."he mumbles to himself. Then helps you up.
"Thanks."you tell him."Sorry."
He sighs."It's fine really. Anyway, here.."he gives you the small box. Taking it you look at it wondering what could be in it and why he was giving it to you. Looking at him curious and suspiciously.
"What is it?"you question.
"You have to open it."was all he said. Looking away then back at the box, seeing you hadn't opened. Clearly you weren't going to do it. Looking at him."I promise, it's nothing bad. Okay. So don't give me that look. J-Just open it. Okay. Because I have something I want to say...alright?"
He was serious. Even if he wasn't looking at you. Complying you do as your friend asked you to. Taking off the top to find what looks like small dome shaped peach dessert."What is it?"
"It's hakuto jelly."he tells you. This was a surprise. Looking at him."Remember? I promised you that when I come back I would get it for you. Because you wanted to try it. So...here."he pulls out a wrapped up spoon and gives it to you.
Delighted and touched, you take it and thank him. Then sit on your bed to enjoy your treat. Rin sits next to you, watching you happily eat away. Enjoy every bite. Squealing with nearly every bite.
"Sooo good."you squeal. Looking to him."You're so great Rin. Thank you a million times thank you!"
He chuckles to himself, and lays out on the bed looking up."You're welcome. There's a surprise when you get to the center."
"Surprise? Really?"you look at the treat seeing nothing. So you kept eating wanting to know what it was.
As Rin listens to you eat, he tries to get his words together in his mind on what he was going to say. He could sense you getting closer and closer to it. Anytime now, he was ready to do this. He just hoped he was on time. When he heard your surprise gasp that was his cue. And the way you stammered with shock saying his name.
"R-Rin...?"
He sits up finding you looking at him speechless and most importantly shocked. You weren't expecting this at all. Not by a long shot. Was he serious? Was he really asking you this? His eyes told you yes, looking back at was inside the box after you finished and reached the bottom. Reading it again. A few times to make sure that was you read. Gasping against this time silently. Showing him the box, he nods his head. In your eyes so many questions came. Mainly, whys. Speechless, you where just speechless. With nothing to say. Waiting to hear what he had to say. He takes the box from you and holds it up so you could read it while he repeated was printed inside for you.
"I want you stay with me. Always."
