"I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes, I fall into your arms, I'll be safe in your sound til' I come back around"

After days passed, Hinode got out of the hospital, it was only 3 days left before Natsu returns to Tokyo, he was willing to tell him that he was gonna get married soon, as soon as they arrived back to the mansion, Hinode got off and ran to Natsu's apartment, he knocked but no ones there, he then got out and saw him on the bench near the shore, he sat beside him without saying anything. "I...just wanna tell you something.." Natsu looked at Hinode, as Hinode hesitated to tell him, he had no choice, he have to tell the truth. "My mom, wanted me to have a wedding with her friend's daughter," , Natsu stayed silent and just gazed at the sea smiling smoothly, "Im....sorry.." Hinode said. "Right, I knew that." Natsu gave Hinode a comforting smile, and looked away. "I have always known that," This time Natsu tried to hold his tears, and just smile, but it didn't work. It was clearly shown on his face. 'It dosen't feel bad.' Natsu thought. "I.." Hinode began, "I promise. One day, one day. We will meet again. And I hope, you won't forget about me, we'll be together in a world where no one will stop us. Trust me. " Hinode gave a warm smile to Natsu, Natsu embraced him while crying on his shoulders but dosen't make any sound. "I trust you." He replied in a calm voice.

'Not everything works, you'll just have to be patient to wait for the right time.'

The time has come where Natsu will return back to Tokyo, he and Hinode watched the sunrise for the last time, he's eyes were getting better, his condition was getting better. Natsu embraced Hinode for the very last time, drifting with the words "I'll be waiting" as they parted. 

The flight didn't took that much long. Natsu took his keys and opened his condo, he turned the lights on and gathered all his things in one place, he opened the terrace and looked to the city towers of Tokyo and city lights, he missed it, but he also missed Okinawa. After that, he took a warm bath to take the stress at the flight out. Hour later, Natsu layed on his bed after closing the terrace and blinds, while opens the AC. he looked at his phone, and searched Hinode's name on the mail.

Sunshine : [ are you home?]

Natsu smiled as he sees this.

Natsu : [ yep..The flight was stressfull though..]

Sunshine : [ Then have a nice rest! Don't sleep late okay? ]

Natsu : [ okay okay, you too..]

Sunshine : [ goodnight then!!~~ ]

Natsu : [ goodnight..]

His smile fade out as he return his phone on the desk near him.

*3 months after he left Okinawa*

'Our every moment I start to replace, because now that they're gone, all I hear are the words I needed to say.'

Natsu continued his routine, he was hanging out with some of his friends he met from the past few projects of his work, he also got the news that Hinode got married last month, there's nothing he can do but to say, "congratulations" he didn't got to visit to Okinawa,' its just hard, seeing someone you had loved, married someone else? ' as days past Natsu tries to forget those sorrow he left for months ago, and just making new ones. 

'That's how it works.'

He took his laptop and saw the journal, he read some of his journey to Okinawa, which made him smile. Thinking that Hinode was fine now, he did it, he showed how strong he was. And he scrolled down and saw his very last journal which he didn't finished.

He placed his hands and started to write.

[ I..miss him.]

He closed his screen and set it aside, "Life goes on I guess.."
He closed his screen and set it aside,
He fell asleep dreaming of nothing but darkness, once again, he heard Kaito's voice calling his name, smiling towards him. It was wonderful.
