Chapter 57 White Day Picnic
Ichika's POV

School had ended for the day, and I was in the courtyard with my friends.

"Saki", I heard a familiar voice yell loudly. "Ichika!"

After I heard this I looked up, and saw Tsukasa.

As I took a closer look at him…I noticed that he was holding a picnic basket..

"Onii-Chan", Saki greeted happily before walking up to him. "What are you doing here?"

"And why do you have a picnic basket with you", Shiho asked.

"Today is White Day", Tsukasa pointed out. "Plus, the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom. Therefore, I am stealing her away from you guys for the rest of the day and taking her out for a romantic picnic!"

"That's so sweet, Onii-Chan", Saki stated.

"It is", Honami said. "Well then, I guess we'll see you tomorrow, Ichika-Chan."

"See you guys tomorrow", I greeted.

"Bye, Ichi-Chan", Saki greeted. "Bye Onii-Chan! You two love birds have fun!"

With that, my friends all left.

"Well then", Tsukasa started, before holding out his hand to me. "Shall we, my lady?"

After Tsukasa asked this, I giggled, before taking his hand in my own.

"Let's go."

…

Tsukasa and I were now in the park.

After eating some Yakisoba buns, we were now lying down.

We were leaning against the tree, and my head was resting against his chest.

"It's not that long to go until graduation", he pointed out. "How does it feel knowing that you'll soon no longer be a high school student?"

"I'm being honest", I started. "It's kind of scary. I have no idea what the future holds."

After I said this, Tsukasa sat up, and I lifted my head off of him.

"I understand", he said. "However, I believe that you, Saki, and your friends have a bright future ahead of you."

"You do", I asked.

"Of course", Tsukasa replied. "Your career as professional musicians will only continue to grow. And I'll be supporting you every step of the way!"

After Tsukasa said this, I smiled at him.

"Thank you, Tsukasa", I said.

"Oh", Tsukasa said suddenly. "I almost forgot! Please wait a moment, Ichika."

With this, Tsukasa went to the picnic basket before pulling something out from it.

"Her you go", he said as he held it out to me.

"A CD", I asked, before reading the cover. "Wait, this is from that artist that composes English Miku songs that I like!"

"I remembered you telling me that you struggle to find physical copies of their music here in Japan", Tsukasa revealed. "So, when I found this CD in a music store in New York, I knew that I had to get it for you!"

"Tsukasa", I said.

Then, I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Thank you so much", I said.

"Anything for you, my love", Tsukasa said, before pulling away from me. "So, what kind of music does this artist even make?"

"Why don't we listen to some of his songs together", I asked. "We can't listen to the CD here, but I have some of his songs on my phone!"

After I said this, I took out my phone and began playing some music.

Then, Tsukasa and I laid down again, and I nuzzled into his chest once more.
