"So you two really are together huh?"
Her hair was caught by a gust of wind from behind and the pigtails swirled in front of her face, masking her expression.
Kazu was glad. He hated hurting people physically, emotionally even more so. None the less, this had to happen between them, the sooner the better.
"I love him. I know I'm young, but we're… well I'm not an idiot. I really do love Ikki."
Ringo lowered her head as though crying, but when she spoke her voice was clear. "So that's that then. I'm never gonna have Ikki am I."
"I'm sorr-"
Ringo caught Kazu off guard. "You have nothing to be sorry about. It's love after all." With that, she hopped off of the roof and sprinted away on her Air Trek, moving faster than Kazu had ever seen her move before. He recognized that run, that desperate speed that lead to a void in thinking.
But, there was nothing he could do, nothing he could take back and what was done is done.
He could pretend to ignore the tears he had seen running down Ringo's face.
Right?
Yay! More Air Gear stuff. I'm cosplaying as Emily for Jacon
