Epilogue
Date: September, Monday 28th.
A few days passed after the incident. Akihiko was released from the hospital on Sunday and insisted he'd go back to his daily routine as if nothing had happened. Minato was a little nervous about it, but knew that his senpai was a strong man that would be okay in the end. The word about Akihiko taking a bullet to save Minato spread around like wildfire. Since then, people had stopped being so disturbed about Akihiko and Minato's relationship. No one had ever heard of somebody risking their lives to protect the person they loved. The student body was actually very astonished with how the two of them were completely open about each other since school started after the break. It had to take a lot of character to ignore any negativities towards them completely. In fact, some people would see them and say that they were very cute together.
Akihiko would still ask if Minato ever had any trouble with people bothering him for anything. Every time, Minato would laugh a little and say that everything was okay. Because of Akihiko, Minato seemed like a completely different person to everybody. He didn't always have his earbuds to ignore everything around him. He didn't just stare at everybody with a blank soulless expression. He had a smile on his face most of the time. He finally was happy with living and didn't see death as a solution to his emptiness. Akihiko and Minato were sitting on the roof one day after school had let out.
"Hey, Aki." Minato said, breaking the silence.
"What's up, Blue Pup?"
"Thank you. For being the light that brightened up my darkness." Minato said as he rested his head against Akihiko's shoulder. Akihiko sighed in happiness.
"I'm happy that I got to be the one to make you feel this way. In a weird way, that typhoon had to have been the best thing for us. It forced us to finally admit to each other how we really felt for the other. During the storm, I had a storm of emotions inside me."
"In a shining ray of light, my guardian angel came down during the darkest of times and saved me from the abyss of eternal darkness. That angel is you, by the way." Minato said.
"I figured." Akihiko chuckled as he leaned down and kissed Minato.
"Aww, how can anyone hate something this cute!?" Yukari squealed.
"Yukari-Chan! You're gonna get us caught!" Fuuka exclaimed. The two boys jerked their heads and saw the door to the school slightly open, with everybody peeking through.
"Have you guys been spying on us this whole time!?" Minato yelled out. Everybody walked out onto the roof.
"We assumed that the two of you would be up here." Mitsuru chuckled lightly.
"I knew it'd be a bad idea. I figured that we'd interrupt something."
"Junpei-san made no such remarks. Hypothesis is that he desired to spy along with the others." Aigis said.
"H-hey! That ain't true, Ai-Chan!" Junpei yelled out. Everybody just laughed.
"Great to have friends like this, isn't it?" Akihiko said as Minato nodded.
The End.
[Oh my god, it's over. T-T Sixty pages and 21,000+ words done in like a week. Thank you everybody that read this and gave me such positive reviews. I had a good time writing this and I hope you had as much fun reading it. Oh, and don't worry. I'm making a sequel. But, sadly, it won't be for a long time. It'll be about after the final battle with Nyx. Minato didn't die after the fight, but is instead an empty shell of a person. So, please wait for it until then. And if any of you that have friends that would be interested, tell them about this story. My aim is to always entertain and cheer up others.]
