The trees were rustling softly as he approached the place where we had decided to meet. The sky was a magnificient blue and there was a crisp breeze. The last bits of snow were already melting away and tiny flowerheads were stucking out of the snow to taste the first bits of sunrays. The scent of plum blossom lingered in the air. Spring was coming.
There he was, the tall blond guy with the warm hazel eyes. As usual he was dressed very handsomely. As expected of a model.
"Hi _-chi. It sure has been a while." he said gently and sat down.
/Yeah it's sure been a while. You still look ridiculously good!/ you tought to yourself while you regarded him with a kind look.
"How are you doing? Ah why I'm I even asking, it must be wonderful at your place." he laughed, but there was a sad expression in his hazel eyes. He looked more mature than a few years ago when you had met him. His delicate features had become more sharp over the years but he was still very handsome.
"There is a new guy among us generation of miracles. His name is Kagami Taiga, and I don't know but I always get this weird feeling when I see him. His character is a little bit like Aominecchi's but he might be more considerate than our bluehaired macho. I think Kurokocchi is keeping him and his temper under control. And he sure is fitting well in Seirin, those bastards managed to defeat us and Kasamatsu-sempai is going very hard on us now. Leaving the gym before 6 pm is practically impossible. But somehow I'm having fun at basketball again. I wonder if it's that redhaired bastard's doing. Can you imagine, that Kagamichi even defeated Aominecchi. It's been a long time since I've seen Aomineechi smile on court. Anyways Aominecchi is really excited to meet him again in court. He's even started to practise regularly. Sa-chi is delighted! Even Murasakibarachi's spirit has been lit. He has even started to run laps on a regular basis. Lately he's been practising for many hours with Himuro-san. That Himuro-san sure is handsome. He might even be more popular than me! Unforgivable!"
/It's good that this Kagami guy has lifted your spirits so much. I'm very grateful to him! Kise-san, you are still the same. Your eyes lit up when you talk about something you love. And basketball sure is such a thing. I'm happy that you're doing well! Please don't look back because my heart can't take it if you're sad./
"Last week I had a photoshoot for some basketball magazine and afterwards I couldn't even get out of the building because of all the fangirls who kept blocking the exit. They are cute but no one is like you. No one is as smart, as lovely, as beautiful as you are. Last year's valentine I received like a ton of chocolate but I gave them all to Murasakibaracchi. He was very happy and jumped around like a little kid. But for someone his size it looked quite grotesque. Some birds outside the window nearly had a heart attack. So I had him in return promise me to escort me when I'm doing some photoshoots again. Otherwise it's quite impossible to get out of the building. But with that giant by my side it shouldn't be a problem."
"_-chi, you know what I recently realized? I'm truly a lucky person to have met you. There is no one I've ever loved that much. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. I still cried like a baby after you left me that night. It felt like my heart was going to break into pieces. I couldn't breathe. All I wanted to do was to go with you. How pathetic haha. Luckily I still have a bunch of good friends who supported me during that hard time. Murasakibarachi even offered his snacks to me. But I declined since I couldn't bring myself to eat anything anyways. Oh I'm talking to much again right? Sorry to bore you!"
Again he looked at you, seemingly lost in thought. His beautiful face was saddened by the thought of you.
/Kise-kun, I'm so sorry to have caused you so much grief. I'm good now. I'm happy to see that you have moved on without me. And you're wrong, I am the person who is truly lucky to have met you. Are you still wearing the ear ring I gave you as a parting gift?/
And miraculously like he could read your thoughts he said, "You see this ear ring? I'm still wearing it. I don't think I'll ever put it off. It'll probably start rusting in my ear lobe haha. Well who cares, it's yours to give me so I'll keep it until I die. Imagine how that'd look, a gramps with an ear ring haha. I'll sure be the center of attention, don't you think?"
You smiled as you thought: "You'll always be the center of my attention, don't you know? Because you're the only one my heart belongs to, Kise-kun."
"Okay, _chi, I need to get going now or else Kasamatsu-sempei will eat me alive. I love you!" And with one last long look and a gentle smile he layed down the beautiful bouquet of white lilies and kissed your gravestone.
