"Before you go, was there some things I could've said to make your heartbeat better.."

*AN HOUR LATER*

After them watching the sunrise scenery, and after they parted, The rich woman called Natsu and was allowed to continue his work again on the mansion, which made Natsu relieved, because that he can finally continue to do his work.

He was told to come in the mansion before sunset, and asked the rich woman if it was okay for him to overtime since the garden was being trimmed and fixed by several proffesionals, which Natsu just agreed for the sake of his project and work. Today wasnt that normal day like any other, since him and Hinode had a talk, its like he found someone that he can comfort from this complicated world, and to do what he didn't did to someone two years ago, he told himself, he must correct what he did wrong, so he can finally forget the past, the past with full of regrets.

It was '5:30' afternoon, Natsu packed the camera and the stuff he was going to bring at the mansion, he went to the mansion's front gate, and there he met the old man again waiting before the gates.The old man opened it and allowed him to go inside, he came inside the mansion looking at all the details again after 1 month has passed since his last visit at the mansion. It was still amazing as ever, then he headed to the gate behind the garden, the light has been shown and the garden has been showed again, it was still magical, enchanted, beautiful.

He took his camera from the case, and began to picture the garden more seriously, he did not put any lighting gear to it, instead he only used the light of the sunset, he tries to make it view how this garden really is special and show the beauty of it in any angle possible, the memories in it was possible to show in just a simple shot, every nooks and crannies in the garden has turned out to be wonderful in any angle, so far Natsu enjoyed taking pictures at some specific part of the garden, photography was a good job, he thought, you'll experience different occasions, enjoy the beauty of nature and any other subject of the place, things, and person whom your capturing, Its amazing to capture meaningful sites all over or just in a one simple place.

*AN HOUR LATER*

Natsu sat on the copper chair and table and started arranging the laptop, so he can transfer the photos into the laptop and pick a shot that has the most beautiful capture of the garden and work on it.

*FEW HOURS LATER*

While Natsu was fixing the photos,

He heard the piano again, but now he knew the one whose playing the piano was Hinode himself, by hearing him play the piano made Natsu smile even for a bit, Hinode's hobby was sure wonderful, the piano itself was purely fantastic, and makes a beautiful sound and the person whose using it is also a great pianist, Natsu thought to himself if somehow one day, Hinode can play his favorite song on the piano and sing it with him, its going to be a fun experience even just an hour. And Natsu also thought to himself if he can see Hinode play the piano even once.

It was beginning to get dark outside, then the garden lights lit up and it was amazing, to this chance, Natsu took his camera and capture the spots that have extraordinary garden lights that made the garden more magical.

While taking a shot someone approached him to the back, it was Hinode, it was the first time Natsu saw him in casual clothes.

Hinode told him to follow him to the garden pond, Natsu agreed and took hold of his camera, to follow Hinode to the pond, when they arrived, Natsu posed his camera to capture the garden lights, reflecting the clear waters of the pond and the water lilies upon it, it was amazing indeed.

They sat on the grass near the pond and the flowers that's surrounding it, while Natsu was capturing some photos, he turned the camera towards Hinode and slowly zoomed into Hinode's eyes, he can see the lights reflecting on it, but he noticed that his eyes were more dull than the last time they met, he slowly put down his camera on his lap, looking towards Hinode.

Their eyes met and Hinode slowly smiled, by looking at it, its pretty but was hiding the darkest fear, Natsu faint a smile, thinking about the things he can do for the young master, "hey, I was wondering.." began Hinode "how old are you anyway?" Natsu let out a laugh, "Im 23." "how about you?" He asked. "Im about to be 23 at Christmas,, but I don't know if Ill still last that long.." Hinode let out a smile but drift off as soon as he told it, "Im often out of control these past months, I just sometimes can't control myself, even if I wanted to stop, my body was thoroughly moving by itself..." Natsu listened to him quietly, "I-I shouldn't be telling you this---" Hinode stutters, "no, no, its okay, its good that you open up." Natsu forced a smile then let out a deep sigh, The wind was cold as the time passes.

*AN HOUR LATER*

Natsu headed home, after Hinode helped him fix his stuff, they waved goodbye.

Natsu closed his eyes, and dreamt something special that he wanted to happen, one day.
