Chapter 40: Soaring

She felt her eyes widen as she felt his lips on hers. The fireworks continued to light up the sky, matching the drumming of her heart.

She couldn't believe it. He was kissing her He was actually kissing her. She dreamed of this moment countless of times now. She imagined all possibilities of how this could happen, and now that it was finally happening, she knew that it surpassed all those things she could think of.

It was no denying that her heart felt like soaring at that very moment.

So she shakily grabbed a hold of his shirt and returned the kiss.

They separated from each other just as the last firework faded in the sky. She didn't even notice it, but there was a trail of tears running now her cheek and she started to unconsciously sniff her nose.

"You missed a spot," he told her as he wiped a stray tear on her cheek.

She managed to produce a laugh, but even then you could still hear that she was crying. "Thanks," she croaked as she rubbed her nose. "I uh, I'm still a little shocked, I guess. I didn't expect you suddenly do that. Now, I'm all disoriented and trying to convince myself this isn't dream, because if it is, I don't think I want to wake up."

"Hey," he said as he cupped her face with both of his hands, "I told you, didn't I? I'm here, I'm real, and I'm never leaving. You're not dreaming, and even if you are, you would rather wake up because I'm right here beside you."

She felt herself take a deep breath and her heart was so overwhelmed with all her feelings for him, for this man who put her through so much but she could never stopped loving.

So, just like he did, she leaned up to him and took his lips.

She poured everything into that one action. Her emotions, her feelings, her heart, her soul. She wanted him to feel what she was feeling for him right at that very moment, for him how happy she was, how grateful, how she was so much in love with him.

She didn't even notice when he took her in his arms and pulled her closer to him, or when she wrapped her arms around him, holding him close.

And just from that one kiss, she knew that he felt the same way.

When they separated, they unconsciously had their foreheads meet. Both of them were out of breath, but they were smiling.

"I guess that's one way for us to know that we feel the same way," he joked.

She laughed lightly hit him with her hand. "Shut up," she told him. "You're ruining the mood. I want it to last longer."

He gave out a chuckle and she giggled along with him. She just felt so light, so happy that she didn't want this moment to end.

He pulled her to him and kissed her forehead.

"I love you," she heard him mumble against her forehead. She was caught off guard by his declaration that she quickly looked up to him, her eyes wide.

His eyes were calm, serene, happy, in contrast to her shocked ones. And for the second time that night, she felt like crying.

"I am in love with you," he continued. "I am absolutely, irrevocably in love with you. I'm so in love with you that every time I look at you I feel like my heart is going to burst, that every time you're with me, the world becomes brighter, that every time you smile, I just can't help but fall for you."

Oh god, if he didn't stop saying all of these things, then it'll be her heart that will burst because she's so in love with him that she couldn't help falling for her even more.

"Ugh, Tsubasa," she complained as she started wiping her eyes again. "You're making me cry again. You're the one making my heart burst."

He chuckled again, and only embraced her closer. "Then, I'll be there to wipe your tears again."

She produced another croaked laugh. "Who knew that you could be such a romantic," she remarked. "We're not even dating for even a day and you're already reaching and passing boyfriend expectations."

"It comes natural," he replied. "But maybe because you're my girlfriend. It's hard stopping myself from showing and telling you how much I love you."

She put a little bit of distance between them, and looked at him in mocked suspicion. "Oh no," she started, "Now you're just doing this so I can give you another kiss."

He gave her a nonchalant shrug. "Maybe," he answered vaguely, giving her a wink.

Oh you little-

She smacked him in arm, as he yelp in pain. "You're pushing it buddy," she told him as he nursed the part she just hit. "You gotta earn your kisses. Remember we just started."

"What?" he whined, "But I'm your boyfriend. I thought I can get them for free now."

She shook her head as if she was reprimanding a child. "Nope," she answered, "You need to do something first so I know that you deserve it."

"But I just poured my heart out to you," he said, "I think that deserves a kiss."

She rolled her eyes in mock exasperation. "Oh alright," she conceded, "You big baby. You also made me cry twice tonight. That should have made nulled it."

"You were crying because you're happy though," he reasoned. "At least I hope you were. Were you?"

She chuckled as she leaned closer to him. "Yes, you big dork, I was happy," she replied teasingly. "I am happy."

He started to lean towards her. "Good," he said, "Because I am too."

Their lips were about to meet, but of all of the sudden her phone rang.

"Oh come on!" she exclaimed in frustration. The both of them separated from each other as she reached for her forgotten string bag on the grass.

He could only sigh in defeat once she got her phone out of her bag.

"What Ayame?" she asked in exasperated tone as she sat beside him. Apparently, calling wasn't enough for her cousin and instead video called her.

"Woah, someone sounds grumpy," Ayame remarked. "No need to sound hostile, I just wanted to ask where you are, and also ask if you know where Tsubasa is, but I guess I didn't have to ask that seeing that you guys are glued together."

"Okay, great, now you know," she snapped. "I'm hanging up."

"Wait, wait, wait," Ayame panicked. "We're not done yet. I still don't know where you guys are. We're going home soon and I have to tell your mom something about where you are so she knows what to expect."

"We're in Hikarigaoka Park," Tsubasa answered for her as she gave him her phone. She needed to take her hair out. It was bothering her and it probably looked hideous by now.

"Really now?" her cousin asked in amused suspicion. "What are you guys doing there of all places?"

"We watched the fireworks, duh," she replied as combed her hair with her hand, and seeing her do that just wanted him to grab her and kiss her senseless.

"That ended 15 minutes ago," Ayame pointed out. "You guys could have returned here a few minutes ago, but instead you guys decided to stay there. What did you guys do since then?"

They shared a look between then from the corner of their eyes.

"We figured the streets were going to be crowded so we decided to wait it out till it becomes less congested," he lied.

"Uh huh," Ayame answered sarcastically. "Yeah, it was so congested Ishizaki stepped on my foot. Wow, you have no idea how much I'm calling bull shit on that. Nice try though. A for effort."

She gave a glare to her cousin, who childishly stuck her tongue out to retaliate.

"Seriously I just want to know what you guys did," she pleaded to them. "It's not like you guys did something private right?"

Their love life was, and when she found out about how their current relationship is, then it's not so private anymore.

"I don't see why you guys have to hide it," she continued, "It's not like you guys made out or anything."

They slowly looked at each other, staring for three seconds, before looking away with pink cheeks.

"What was that look for? Don't tell me you guys actually- Holy shit, you guys did! Oh my god, no way," they saw her look away from the screen and screaming, "Guys, Tsubasa and Sanae finally kissed. They're fucking dating now!"

They also heard from the background, "No way!" or "You're joking" or even "Don't make me hope like that!"

Ayame replied by, "I'm not! Just liste-" she then hastily looked back to them. "Don't leave okay. We're coming there. We need details. Understood? Good," and she finally pressed the end button.

They stared at her phone for a few seconds, before slowly turning to each other.

"So much for trying to keep it secret for a while," she remarked.

He chuckled and wrapped an arm around her. "Hey, at least they're the first ones to know. God knows how long they've been waiting for it."

"Oh yeah," she agreed as she put her head on his shoulder. "I think they even have a betting pool for it. I wonder who won."

"Whoever it is must be really happy," he remarked.

She chuckled amusingly and moved closer to him.

"But not as happy as us," she pointed out as she removed her head from his shoulder.

This time it was his turn to chuckle, "Not as happy as us," he agreed. Then he leaned down and finally took her lips for the third time.

End Chapter

AN: this is guys, the final chapter. it's not as long as all the other chapters, but i figured that keeping short and sweet (like, diabetes inducing sweet) would be perfect to end this novelesque fanfition

i didn't exactly think it would lead to this massive word fanfiction. but i had fun writing this, and i hope you guys had fun reading Flying on Little Wings. as i said, this was mostly created because i dont like how the manga handled these two's relationship and when they finally got together, i imagined them being such dorks for each other. they're so in love with each other you dont know whether to puke or gush over it. so i hope you all truly enjoyed my writing and hope to see you guys soon

also, yes. there will be a sequel where we explore tsubasa's and sanae's woe during my version of the world youth arc

thanks for everything!
