"[name], why didn't you tell me?" Sosuke asked as he laid [name] onto her bed, pulling her covers over her. He then settled himself on just a small space on the bed, holding her hand tightly. He was heartbroken. He was heartbroken to see [name] in this state, unable to see anything with those beautiful pair of light blue ocean eyes.

"How has life been for you?" [name] asked with a smile, clearly avoiding Sosuke's question.

"Miserable, ever since you went missing. Now don't avoid my question, why?" Sosuke spoke with a stern voice as he gripped [name]'s hand tighter in his; afraid that the moment he let go, she might just disappear into thin air.

"It's sad though. I didn't expect it to happen to me so quickly. I inherited this blindness from my grandmother, who had the same pair of light blue ocean eyes, just like mine. I didn't want anybody to take pity on me just because I couldn't see anymore. I didn't want anybody to look down on me and assume that I can't do anything on my own. Especially you. I know the moment if you know that I'm going blind, you'll do everything for me." [name] spoke as she grips tightly onto Sosuke's hand, and Sosuke could only chuckle at her response as he knew what [name] had said, was all so true.

"Because I know, you love me." [name] spoke out, and Sosuke's eyes widened.

"I'm not dumb Sosuke. When I still could see back then, I know you're in love with me." [name] spoke as she sat up on her bed. She then gripped onto Sosuke's shoulder lightly, knowing that he still has his injury, and made him turned to face her.

"I-I-I… I really do love you…" Sosuke mumbled out, and [name] smiled.

"[NAME]!" a shout was heard, and the front door burst open to only reveal a frantic looking Makoto, and a panting Rin who was holding onto an emotionless expression Haruka by the collar. Makoto then ran towards the bed and grabbed hold of [name] in a tight hug.

"M-Makoto, I can't breathe!" [name] stammered out, and Makoto immediately let go of her.

"This is where you've been?! How could you leave us just like that?! Do you know how worried we were when we realised you sold your house and moved?!" Makoto started to blabber on, and [name] moved her hand to find her pillow…

*WHAM! *

"[L/N] [NAME]!" an all too familiar female voice was heard, and [name] could only cringe and smile slightly the moment she heard that voice. She then felt the air within her being squeezed out as she was getting hugged extremely tightly, by none other than; Rumiko.

"You bitch! Why did you up and leave us just like that?!" Rumiko scolded, and she felt a hand on her shoulder. She then turned to look and realised Miranda was shaking her head.

"[L/N]-SENPAI!" and [name] felt the air within her being squeezed out once more.

"H-Hinami…" [name] stammered out.

"YOU KNOW IT'S ME JUST BY MY VOICE?"

"I hope the ones who are still in High School didn't skip practice today." [name] spoke with a wide smile, and almost immediately did the current team of Iwatobi High gagged.

"Come on, this calls for a celebration!" Yuri yelled out, and almost immediately did [name] felt arms pulling her up from her bed.

"Girls, she needs to stay in bed today." A deep voice was heard, and the girls turned to look at who had spoken, none other than Yamazaki Sosuke who was holding a tray that had a bowl of hot soup on it, water as well as medicines.

"Looks like Sosuke made a move already." Rumiko teased, and Sosuke's face turned beet red.

"S-Shut up."

"Your fever has gone done already." Sosuke spoke as he looked at the reading on the thermometer. He then turned to see that [name]'s light blue ocean eyes were looking towards the side instead, where the window was. His heart clenched a little as he stroked [name]'s head, and that's when her eyes shifted back towards him.

"I'll be your eyes from now on." Sosuke spoke out, and [name] could only smile sadly.

"Everything seems so different. The way things move when I can't see them, the way some things smell when I don't know what it is. Everything is so different without my eyesight; it's kind of beautiful in a way. To feel everything, and appreciate everything." [name] spoke out with a gentle smile, and Sosuke chuckled.

"That's the [name] I know."

Two Months Later

"I'M TAKING THAT FROM YOU!"

"WHAT, SOSUKE! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!"

"BUT YOU CAN GET HURT!"

"I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FAR MUCH LONGER THAN YOU!"

"GIVE IT TO ME!"

"SOSUKE!"

"Ah, young love." The landlady chuckled out as she watched Sosuke snatching the vase of lilies away from [name], and setting it aside onto the ground. [name] then huffed as she walked back towards the counter, muttering under her breath as she settled herself down onto the seat and pout.

"You know, [name]. Sosuke will make a good husband for you. You two look so cute together, and the way he's looking out for you." The landlady spoke, and then chuckled the moment she saw [name]'s face turning bright red.

"I-If I was his wife, I will probably be rotting in bed because he doesn't let me do anything on my own!" [name] whined out as she placed her elbows onto the table and supported her head with her hands.

"If you keep complaining, I'll tie you to the bed instead." Sosuke spoke as he came over to where [name] is and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Didn't know you're into that kind of stuff,Sosu-chan." [name] spoke, and smirked for she knew Sosuke was definitely blushing crimson red right now.

Four Months Later

"Take care of yourself alright?" the landlady spoke as she hugged [name] tightly. It had been six months ever since Sosuke and the others had come to live, and it's time to head back home. And since they found [name], Sosuke insisted that [name] come back to live with them instead of being out here in Tokyo alone. With his constant pestering and loving threats, [name] finally gave in.

"Thank you for these past 9 months of looking after me, I really appreciate everything you've done for me." [name] spoke as she gave the landlady a kiss on the cheek. The landlady then chuckled as she ruffled [name]'s hair, and soon [name] felt something around her neck.

"Even though you can't see it, keep it still. Thank you for being a daughter to me."

"[name], welcome to your new home!" Sosuke called out as he set both his and [name]'s luggage onto the ground. He then turned and frowned slightly as he spotted [name] standing at the same spot. He then spotted [name] frowning as she walked towards a certain piece of furniture, and allowed her hand to run across it.

"Sosuke, I'm back at my old house. Why is that?" [name] asked, and Sosuke's eyes widened in shock.

"H-How did you know?"

"I've been living here for practically my entire life; it smells the same. The furniture is still at the same spot." [name] explained as she settled herself onto the comfortable sofa.

"Well, apparently you see… We all chipped in to buy this house, because… We know it means a lot to you, and that you're trying your best to forget some stuffs. But it is important to you." Sosuke explained, and then he tensed up slightly as he heard [name] laugh.

"This is why, I love you."

"[name], you do realise you're like a white rose, aren't you?" Sosuke spoke out, and [name] smiled slightly as she realised Sosuke had learned from her when she explained why she gave out certain flowers to certain customers.

"Because I get painted by lifes' colours."

"And then you'll become a beautiful one." Sosuke whispered back out as he kissed [name] on her lips.

"Sosuke…" [name] mumbled out, and Sosuke stroked her hair in response.

"Yes, love?"

"You need to go and take a shower, you smell."

"YOU JUST HAD TO RUIN THE MOMENT."

Five Years Later

"I realized that, not all is lost. I've got people who truly care about me, and that sometimes things happen; and we're not to be blamed. We can't control when and where, and also how things are going to be; but we can only hope for the best, forgive and move on. I realized that I should continue to live, not only for myself, but for others. I realized, there are more to life than meets the eye. You don't have to always enjoy life just by looking at things with your own pair of eyes. You should feel life. Feel it like as if it's a human, wanting to be understood. Not fight it like it's your enemy. Because this life, is a once in a lifetime kind of thing; cherish it." [name] spoke as she smiled at the juniors before her.

[name] was back at Iwatobi High, with the rest of the volleyball teammates that she had played with during the three years of her time in Iwatobi High. Although a good five years have passed, [name] hasn't changed much. Her dark brown hair had grown out just below her spine, and her pair of light blue ocean eyes still sparkle.

The only thing that changed was…

.

.

.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT ME!" a voice roared through the gymnasium of Iwatobi High, and everybody could only laugh as [name] pout slightly at what had just happened. A rather worried looking Sosuke was seen walking deeper into the gymnasium, and grabbing hold of [name] tightly.

"But…"

"NO BUTS! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO YOU!"

"And now you have [name], arguing with her pair of eyes!" Miranda called out, causing everybody to erupt into a fit of laughter as [name]'s face burned crimson red.

"Everybody is just teasing me." [name] whined out as she laid in the shared bed of Sosuke and hers. She then pouts as she heard Sosuke chuckled, and felt the spot beside her on the bed sink down; indicating that Sosuke had joined her in bed.

"But I told you, I'll be your eyes now." Sosuke spoke as he planted a kiss onto [name]'s forehead.

"Thank you though, for being my reason for holding on." [name] spoke with a wide smile, but a hint of sadness in her voice that was obviously caught on by Sosuke. He then wrapped his arms around [name], and nuzzled his nose into the crook of her neck, trying his best to give her a sense of assurance.

"If only…" [name] thought to herself as she hugged Sosuke back tightly.

"I love you, [L/N] [name]."

"I love you too, you over-protective whale shark."

A/N: Suckish ending because I was thinking if I should do a sequel or not.
