Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye

Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye



"So that's it, huh? Three whole years." I muttered, as we were sitting on the rooftop one last time. It was way too late and we probably should have left the school building a long time ago, but... well, we needed to have this bit of private time. We needed to sit here, in our special little spot (that was very against the rules, but we never cared, so why care now of all times?).

"You know, Shou, you still haven't asked me to go to prom with you." I commented and Hizashi's eyes widened.

"WHAT." he exclaimed, truly shocked at what I had just revealed. Shouta gave me a confused look.

"I didn't? Huh. Must have forgotten. I just thought it was pretty obvious that we'd go to prom together, I mean... it is the only rational choice." he replied, as he looked out over the city as the sun was setting over it.

"The only rational choice. Fuck, Shou, you're just so damn romantic sometimes." I answered with a grin.

"Well, it worked on you before, didn't it?" he asked. Hizashi just shook his head. He still didn't seem to be over the entire prom thing and how Shouta hadn't even asked me to go with him.

"Shouta, how the hell didn't you ask her to prom? And how are you still going together? What the fuck?" he wanted to know, looking back and forth between the two of us, absolutely shocked.

"Zashi, when you're older you'll understand." I replied with a chuckle, as I leaned against the railing.

It was a really beautiful sunset and I was honestly kind of sad that we were leaving UA so soon. Don't get me wrong, my time at this school wasn't great and I mostly hated it. A lot of terrible things happened while we were all here, but... well, I also found some friends for life. And the love of my life. Or at least of this part of my life, I didn't know what the future might bring.

But then again, I couldn't imagine that things between Shouta and me would change that much. We had been through a lot of shit together and yet we were still here and together and as happy as we could be, considering the circumstances, so why would I think things would be changing?

"What the fuck do you mean I'll understand when I'm older? I'm already older than you!" Hizashi protested.

"You're only like a day older than F/N." Shouta said, shaking his head and snickering to himself.

"Yeah, but still! I don't get how you're going to reward this behaviour by going to prom with him, F/N, I really don't." Hizashi replied with a sigh. I just laughed and shrugged. I was glad that Shouta and I were on talking terms again, so I was honestly thrilled that he was even willing to go to prom at all.

"I'm just glad he's subjecting himself to the social norms and is actually going to prom. Because I was honestly doubting it for a while and even though an anti-prom would have been kinda cool, it's still not the same as an actual prom." I replied. Hizashi shook his head again.

"You're hopeless."

"Oh yeah, what colour dress are you wearing?" Shouta suddenly asked, looking back at me. I grinned.

"Your favourite." I answered. Shouta rolled his eyes, but smiled at me. He turned around and eyed up the huge glass building behind us. It was fucking weird to think that we had spent the last three years here. It all just seemed so insignificant, now that we were done with it at last.

"You're just trying to make it difficult for me to get you flowers, aren't you?" Shouta asked with a sigh.

"No, I'm just trying to look like a snack for you, because I know you like seeing me in black." I answered.

"Ew, get a fucking room." Hizashi joked.

"True. But how the fuck am I supposed to get matching flowers for that? Within a few days?" Shouta replied.

"Oh, Shouta, please tell me you'll be extra edgy and get her like black roses or some shit." Hizashi chuckled. I gave him a confused look. Black roses? That was a bit too much, to be honest.

"Yeah, no. No black roses, please. But you can always get something white in contrast. Or red. Red looks good with black. I might actually be wearing some red shoes with the dress, so red would make it look really cool." I mused. Shouta smiled at me and nodded quickly, before turning back around and looking at the sunset.

"Alright then. Red it is." he answered, taking my hand into his and just holding it while looking out over the city.

"Guys, I'm actually getting really anxious here. Like, can we please stay in touch? Because I'm just so fucking scared of all of us going off to do our own thing and forgetting about each other and you two breaking up and getting married to different people and... and all of it just falling apart, it really sucks, okay?" Hizashi suddenly said. I looked over at him and he truly seemed distressed.

"Hizashi, of course we'll stay in touch. It's the three of us, okay?" I replied. I had been having the same fears, to be honest, but when it came to Hizashi (and of course Shouta) I actually meant it when I said we'd stay in touch. Maiko and Hideko and some other people in our class?

I knew I'd probably only stay in touch with them for a few months and then slowly but surely forget about them unless their names came up in some conversations. Those guys were friends for high school. But Hizashi and Shouta (and Nemuri)? They were friends for life and I wanted to keep it that way, too. I loved them all to bits and I didn't want to ever lose them under any circumstances.

"Yeah. We'll stick together. That's the least we can do for... for Oboro." Shouta said. I was a little surprised he was bringing him up first, but this was maybe the chance to get him talking a little more, before he shut down again. Everytime it seemed he was opening up a little more.

"Yeah, Oboro would have made sure we all stay in touch. We kinda owe it to him, honestly." I agreed.

"Absolutely. If he's watching us or something he'd be so proud we're up on the roof right now." Hizashi commented.

"He'd be crying." Shouta said with a slight smile on his face. I chuckled, remembering how Oboro had a soft spot for the weirdest things. One time he cried because his sushi was arranged in a cute way.

"He'd be bawling his eyes out." I replied.

"God, I really miss him. It sucks that he's not here with us. He would have gone all out for prom." Hizashi muttered.

"I miss him, too." I said, pulling Hizashi into a group hug. It was one of those group hugs that were absolutely necessary.

"We all miss him." Shouta agreed with us. He wasn't usually one to enjoy group hugs, but he seemed to like this one. And honestly, I think we all did, because this was just such a raw moment for us.

This was the end of our three years in high school. Our three years where so, so much had happened. I had given up my old friends and found new, better ones. I had fallen in love, I had gotten a whole lot of detention. We all had lost our best friend and we were still somehow going on. Even if we wanted to stay away from each other after school, I don't think we could.
