"I'm glad you moved in together with me, [name]!" Makoto called out as he wheeled [name] into his apartment. [name] sighed with a smile on her face as Makoto came to a stop. He then removed her luggage that was on her lap and placed it on the ground. [name] then took a look around the apartment;

"That's because you've been pestering me about it." [name] spoke out with a giggle, and Makoto's face turned beet red. Makoto then shook his head and chuckled out as he wheeled [name] closer to their shared bedroom.

"Come on, I'll help you unpack!"

And [name] couldn't help but smile as Makoto brought her luggage towards the bed. He then flipped it opened and started to unpack for her; occasionally asking [name] where should he put certain items, which [name] could only shrug her shoulders and point the areas.

The third years from the Iwatobi Swim Team had graduated, and [name] ended up in the same college as Makoto; which is why Makoto had insisted that [name] move in with him in the apartment so that he can take care of her.

She had been going for therapy still, and made progress; currently she is able to take a maximum of 5 steps, and then she will fall down.


"Oh dear, will it be better for you sit at the lower tables my dear?" the teacher spoke as she saw [name] in a wheelchair. [name] was just about to open her mouth to reply her when all of a sudden Makoto cut her off with;

"It's alright, sensei. She will be sitting next to me." Makoto spoke and he carried [name] out of her wheelchair and pushed it aside. The girls in the class started to fangirl, whereas the boys were a little pissed off in a way as they had found [name] extremely charming.

"Kyahh! They're definitely soulmates!"

[name] then rolled her eyes as Makoto smiled softly at the girls and proceeded to walk up to the backrow of the lecture room. He then placed her down and settled down just beside her.

"Baka, you're drawing too much attention." [name] whispered, and Makoto chuckled.

"Sorry, I only want you as close to me as possible. So that I can look out for you."

"D-Don't say things so directly!" [name] whisper-yelled and hit Makoto with her books.

"You're cute when you're all flustered!"

"Stop it, Tachibana!"


"First day of school wasn't so bad was it?" Makoto asked as he lifted [name] from her wheelchair and placed her in their shared bed. [name] then pushed herself and carried her legs up; allowing herself to lie down flat on the bed. Makoto then climbed above her and laid down, wrapping his arms around her waist; and [name] automatically wrapped her arms around his back.

"The fact that you're full of surprises; why?" [name] asked.

"Because you deserve to be spoilt."

"Well, I didn't know you were the possessive and jealous type."

"H-Hey!"

"[name]! I got you this!" and Makoto handed [name] a stalk of rose. [name] was surprised that Makoto had managed to buy a stalk of rose for her just before their lunch break ended. Makoto then pecked [name] on her forehead before he grabbed hold of both their trays and headed off to return them to the return tray area.

In the meantime, [name] was smelling the stalk of rose and then she felt someone tapping her on the shoulder. She then turned and was surprised to find the most popular boy in the college wanting to speak with her; Kou.

"Ah sorry for startling you, I just want to tell you that you look cute. So maybe… Would you like to go on a date with me?" Kou asked, and [name] gave him a confused look.

"Sorry, she's taken already." And [name] was pulled by the front by Makoto; who was then glaring daggers at Kou.

"The fact that you're the second most popular guy in the college." [name] spoke out.

"I am?"

"Ne, Makoto." [name] spoke out after a little bit of comfortable silence.

"Yes?"

"What are your future plans?"

"Hm… Marrying you is the first thing on the list." And [name]'s eyes widened in surprise.

"STOP WITH ALL THE SURPRISES!"

"Hehe, you're so adorable! I'm glad that you're my soulmate!"


"My soulmate mark changed." Sosuke thought to himself as he took a look at his soulmate mark. It had gone into the shape of some sort of a shark and a whale shark hybrid.

"SOSUKE! MY SOULMATE MARK CHANGED!" and Rin burst into their shared apartment, panting.

"Mine did as well." Sosuke spoke and took a look at Rin's soulmate mark.

"Woah, we've got the same soulmate mark…"


"Oh god, another surprise." [name] thought to herself as she spotted Sosuke and Rin holding hands and walking towards them once they had entered the café that they the third years that had graduated were supposed to meet up at.

"Woah, they're gay?" Hana commented, and [name] could only nod.

"Ah, [name]; Hana!" Sosuke called out, and [name] smirked at him as she leaned forward and placed her elbow on the table before her; supporting her head with the back of her hands from the chin below.

"So, who tops?"

"[N-NAME]!" Rin cried out.

"Definitely me." Sosuke answered, and Rin's face turned beet red.

And [name] burst out laughing while Hana chuckled quietly by the side as both Haruka and Makoto stared with a confused look in their eyes.

"[name], I've got something to announce though." Hana spoke once she had finished laughing. [name] then looked at her with a questioning look; and Hana smiled softly as she opened her mouth to speak;

"Do you think my baby is going to be a boy or a girl?"

"Huh?"

"I'm pregnant."

"WHAT?!" [name] yelled out.

"Haru couldn't control himself eh." Rin teased, and Haruka's face turned beet red.

"Makoto, I want to go home. I think I'm going to faint anytime." [name] whined out, and the whole group of swimmers laughed.


6 Years Later

"[name]! Are you done? If you don't hurry; we'll miss the party!" Makoto called out, and [name] huffed as she tried to pull her dress up, but being wheelchair-bound; she was having extreme difficulty.

"Makoto! Help me!" [name] called out, and Makoto immediately came out from their shared bathroom and headed over to where [name] was at. He then helped [name] by allowing her to wrap her arms around his neck, and pulling her to stand straight. He then lifted her dress and helped her zipped up then. After he was done, he set her back into her wheelchair.

"Sorry for all the trouble." [name] mumbled out.

"It's alright, I love doing it for you." Makoto spoke out, and [name] eyed his pocket.

"Why is there a bulge in your pocket?" and [name] tried to reach out for it, only to have Makoto to take a step back from her.

"I-It's nothing!"

"It is something!"

"Come on, we're late!" and Makoto rushed out; pushing [name]'s wheelchair as well…

"MAKOTO, MY HEELS!"


"You're both late!" Gou called out as she came up to Makoto and [name]; with Seijuro just behind her.

"Ah, I'm sorry. [name] was taking her own sweet time." Makoto teased.

"HEY!" [name] whined out and lightly punched Makoto on his side; since he stood beside her wheelchair.

"[NAME]-CHAN!" and all of a sudden [name] was wrapped in an extremely tight hug.

"Mika!" [name] called out and she hugged the lad back tightly; how much she had missed her.

"Nana is here too! Come on, let's go meet up with the girls!" Mika giggled out as she stole [name] from Makoto, and hurriedly pushed her towards where the girls had gathered.

"Makoto! Make us proud ya!" Seijuro commented as he slapped Makoto hard on his back.

"Mmhmm! We'll be looking forward to the surprise!" Gou added on.


"Where are we going?" [name] asked as Sosuke carried her up the stairs; along with Rin who was carrying her wheelchair up as well; and the whole group of swimmers following them.

"You'll see." Sosuke spoke.

"Where's Makoto?" [name] asked as she looked around. Rin then set her wheelchair down and Sosuke then placed her back into her wheelchair and then he gestured a finger forward. [name] then looked and spotted Makoto leaning against the roof ledge, looking out to the view before him. [name] then wheeled herself towards where Makoto was standing…

.

.

"Wow…" [name] mumbled out as she stared the view before her. The ocean view was what greeted her, and the moonlight shone against the water; causing it to glister.

"I remember how you always ran to the beach to calm your nerves down." Makoto spoke, and [name] hummed in response as she remembered back when she could run; she will always run to the beach to sort her thoughts out. She just loved the ocean view.

"[name], how long have we dated?" Makoto asked as he turned to look at [name].

"Hm… 8 years." [name] spoke out as she herself turned to look at Makoto.

"Then…" Makoto spoke out and got onto one knee, and [name]'s eyes widened in surprise.

"Will you do the honours and marry me? I want to take care of you for the rest of my life." Makoto spoke out as he brought out the box that was in his pocket and opened it; revealing an engagement ring. And [name] could only cover her mouth as her eyes remained wide opened.

"Aww, [name]-chan is getting engaged!" Nana whispered out as she latched onto Nagisa's arm.

"It will be our turn soon aye, Nana-chan!" Nagisa commented as he planted a kiss on Nana's cheek.

"I take that as a yes?" they heard Makoto's voice and turned to look before them; [name] was nodding her head and Makoto was smiling like he had struck lottery. He then slipped the engagement ring onto [name]'s finger, and hugged her tightly.

"SHE SAID YES!"

And the whole swim team applauded.


"[name], are you feeling alright?" Makoto asked as he hugged [name] closer to him in their shared bed. [name] then nodded as she looked at her engagement ring on her finger; and smiled softly at it. She then turned to face Makoto and planted a kiss on his nose; causing him to blush.

"Thank you, for not giving up on me."
