" Ive heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime, And Im pretty sure that you are that love of mine.."

"How about this, 'Before you go', by Lewis Capaldi?" 

"Oh, I know that one, its also one of my favorite song, nice choice." Hinode smiled as he closes his eyes and starts, he pressed the keys smoothly, and opened his eyes again while he change it into a different key, I began to hum to the song, but quiet enough so he can't hear it. It was beautiful as ever, it was relaxing, amazing, magical. The piano stopped, "so, how'd it go?" Asked Hinode that made Natsu realize on what's happening, "Im speechless, it was...amazing." Natsu let out a smile, that made Hinode noticable happy by his simple compliment. "You know, it was nice hearing you play my favorite song.." Natsu said. Hinode nodds and just further smiled. "this song, fits you." He said. Natsu flustered and just scratched his nape and looked away, "nah...its not." He grinned. Hinode laughed a little, "right, right." 

'Time runs fast dosen't it?'

Natsu thought, Its been a long time since he felt this feeling, happiness perhaps, its time to move on, Natsu said to himself, 'I have to let go.' . He woke up in his room, he and Hinode had become close at the following days, they hangout always, and Natsu was still continuing his work, but also gives time to hangout with Hinode. It indeed calms him and makes him smile even if they were together for a while, they once watched a movie called 'geostorm' it was sci-fi, Hinode enjoyed that movie and so did Natsu. Only 2 months left before Natsu return to Tokyo, he dosent wanna go back but he needs to, he needs to.... If only theres time left, he planned to go back to Okinawa before Hinode's birthday, he wanted to finish his work more earlier before the final week, so he can spend that one week to hangout with Hinode, Natsu also noticed that Hinode became pale and his eyes was almost ash gray, but he dosen't show any signs that he's weak, even dosen't show any signs that he's hurt. Hinode just acts sweet, and kind around him. 'thats why I like him.' Natsu continued to type on his laptop, he was writing a journal on it, just to read it one day where everything goes back the way it is, a little adventure on a journal would be good, he thought.

[ 9/12/21                    Wednesday

         These days were, good. Me and Hinode gets along everytime, I do enjoy those times, it never gets boring every moment were together, I was thinking on visiting Hinode again especially on his birthday, if only I got to see him everytime. Im sad, hurt, angry, mad, and dissapointed. But you know what? I'll put on a smile and move on, It will hurt but I will survive. ]

Natsu let out a deep sigh as he types for more.

[ I was working on the project more earlier than usual, so after the last week I can spend that time with Hinode, I wanna get to know him more, even for a short time, it'll be worth it. _ ]

He stared at the screen, while thinking about what to write next, the time passes as he write unto it.

The music was relaxing and outside of the window was cloudy, a perfect time to go to the shore.

Natsu stood up and took his hoodie and cap, he wore those and tan through the empty streets and to the white sand, he stared at the sea, looking at every detail it have, and was observing the wind that was passing by, why didn't he took a photo of it? I also asked that myself, but let's find that out together. 

'This blue sea, looks amazing, calm, and pretty, yet it was dangerous, scary, dark. Its better to let go of it than showing everyone what darkness it helds.'

Natsu looked around and saw a small hill, with flowers and dandelions upon it, he ran up to it and sat below the big tree on the hill, the big tree was giving shallow from the light above, its view from the sea was good, although its a litte far away from the sea, you can still see it from there in a wide area. 

*AN HOUR LATER*

Natsu returned to the apartment, he took of his cap, and and sat on an empty chair near the bed, he let out a sigh, and rested for a bit.

A silent sound woke him up, he felt something, he opened his eyes and everywhere was white, it was blinding in every place where he look, he faced to his back, it was very dark, so dark. And there stood Hinode, in that familliar smile of his, his side was full of darkness, it was slowly taking over the bright side where Natsu is, the bright side was getting darker, and darker, before the darkness swallowed the remaining light, Natsu woke up, it was just a dream, no, a nightmare.

'When you hurt under the surface, like troubled water running cold, well, time can heal but this won't.'

'Would we be better off by now, If I'd let my walls come down? Maybe I guess we'll never know..'

Natse heard Hinode whispered beside his ear before he woke up.

'I don't wanna fall asleep, I don't wanna pass away, Ive been thinking of our future because I'll never see those days, I don't know why this has happened but I probably deserve it, I tried to do my best, but you know that Im not perfect.'

"He'll live. He will live." Natsu slowly swallowed his words crying while saying these, he tries to stay silent as possible, trying not to make a sound.The clock was ticking, as he look around the place.

"He must will." He said in a solemn voice.

Natsu fell asleep, and dreamt about the boy. This time a women's voice called the boy, "Kaito! Say goodbye to your friend! We had to leave" the boy named Kaito looked back at him giving a slightly sweet smile, that won't let him forgot about. Natsu ran to him giving him a big embrace, even if its a mystery, even if he is a mystery, Natsu still feel that he will meet this person one day, and if he loses this person he would regret everything, its like.. he felt love in that person on his dreams.
