A/n: Hi there, nice to hear from you again! _ I decided to put an epilogue after the story just cause I felt that I should put more than just one chapter in this story. But if you guys still think that this story should be worth going into a chapter story or not, please do comment. Anyways, enjoy the final installment of Our Promise!
A month has passed since the day Yoite had decided to live his remaining years enjoying what time he had left. Since then, things have been really peaceful. So many things have happened in just a few months. It seems as if it was just yesterday that Tobari- Sensei told me that I was the Nabari King. Yes, many things have happened…and I don't regret any of them…
Miharu and Yoite climbed out of the bus as soon as the bus had stop and the doors had opened.
"Ready to go?" Miharu asked but didn't wait for Yoite's reply and started walking to the direction of their destination.
They both walked side by side in silence admiring the beautiful sunset.
"Time seems to go by faster than before, don't you think?" Miharu suddenly asked, breaking the silence that they had both shared at that time.
"Yeah…" Was all Yoite could say at that moment. "I don't have much time either…"
They both then turned right at a corner.
Miharu then looked up at Yoite. "Are you okay? Not too tired?"
"Mmm-Hmm."
"We're almost there." Miharu replied. Suddenly, a couple pushing a stroller with a baby inside was walking towards their direction. They both moved to the side to let the couple pass. As they did, the baby within the stroller smiled and giggled happily as she looked up at Yoite and Miharu .
Suddenly, as they started to walk again, Yoite stopped after a few steps behind Miharu. Miharu stopped after realizing Yoite was not following and turned back. "Yoite…? Do you want to turn back?"
Yoite shooked his head and placed his hand upon his chest with a smile on his face. "Mmm-Mmm. I want you to come with me." And then Yoite started to lead.
Miharu smiled and followed. "Mmm-Hmm."
After a few minutes of walking, they both arrived in front of a typical Japanese modern home. Yoite walked a little bit so that he stood right in front of the house gate. The name had read, "Kodo".
"Did you need something here?" Suddenly, an old man no younger than in his mid 40s or 50s appeared.
Yoite widened his eyes.
"Oh, no." Miharu suddenly intervened running over to the two.
"Your yard…" Yoite turned to look over the man's yard. "Your yard is very pretty."
"Thanks." The man opened to gate and began walking inside.
Yoite smiled.
When the old man was inches from his door, as if he realized something he quickly turned back, but by then, he realized they were gone.
Miharu and Yoite sat upon a local bench admiring the slightly orange sky.
"Thank you. It was a small, but pretty house." Yoite said with a smile as he turned toward Miharu.
"Yes it was."
"The yard was pretty." Yoite looked down with a serene smile on his face.
"Mmm-Hmm."
"I thought he would be taller…" Yoite looked up at the sky. "But I guess not."
"Disappointed?" Miharu asked.
"I'm not sure. Not so much disappointed as…I don't know. I'm glad I met you, Miharu." Yoite suddenly said out of the blue. He then slowly tilted his body, and landed on Miharu.
"Are you tired?" Miharu asked as he caught him.
"A little."
"It's spring already." Miharu turned back to look at the sky.
"Mmm-Hmm." Yoite mumbled as he had his eyes closed against Miharu.
"Let's rest a little while and then go home."
"Mmm-Hmm. Let's go home." Yoite replied.
Yoite became very weak after a while to the point where he could no longer walk and had to be on a wheelchair. I suppose thinking about it now; I should have seen this one coming. After all, Yoite…will leave soon. I wish, I could, maybe, stay with him a little while longer…
Yoite sat on his rocking chair covered in a blanket, as he knitted.
"Tea time. What would you like?" Miharu said standing up from the spot he was sitting on beside Yoite.
"Lemonade." Was all Yoite said.
"You got it."
"When is everyone coming over?" Yoite asked.
"Should be about time, right?" Miharu responded.
"Okay." Yoite turned back to what he was doing earlier. Yoite leaned back on his rocking chair and watched to birds soar high up into the blue sky. He smiled, and slowly, his eyes began to close. And at that moment, his hands began to disintegrate.
Soon after, Miharu walked in the rocking chair slightly rocking in front of his eyes. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Yoite?" Miharu quickly ran towards the rocking chair with the tray of tea in his hands. "Yoite…" He widened his eyes when he noticed that nothing both clothing, the blanket, and his yarn were left.
Miharu looked up at the sky and saw small sparkles floating up into the sky, as if it was glitter. He quickly knelt down and placed the tray of tea beside him, before placing his hand upon the clothing that was proof Yoite had been sitting there.
"I see…so it was his time then…" And at that moment, for the first time in a long time since he confessed to Yoite, true tears had fallen from his eyes without him even realizing that they were there.
"Death ends a life, Death does not end a relationship."
~FIN~
