one week.

you had one week left in tokyo.

"kenma?" you texted him.

your texts were returned quickly,
to your surprise.

"hm?"

"i go home next week..."

you only got to spend
a few good days together
after your first date.

now, your trip was on the cusp of its end.

he left you on read.

it took him another minute to respond.

"oh."

"yeah..."

"but hey! that just means we need
to make the most out of this week
( •̀ ω •́ )✧"

that's what you'd planned to do.

but the week was already over.

you'd been together every day since then, but it was already over.

it was as if it never happened.

it felt like just yesterday
that you gave him the news,
but now,
the two of you sat in the same spot you did nearly two weeks ago.

the same sunset shined down on you.

but it wasn't the same.

no blanket.

no food.

no joy and excitement.

you were just delaying the inevitable.

holding your knees to your chest,
you rested your head on kenma's shoulder.

his arm carefully held your waist.

"you won't ghost me once i get home, right?"
you asked quietly.

"n-no!" he said timidly.

"not that i think you'll ghost me!"
you frantically told him.
"i just don't wanna lose this."

"me neither."

"then don't forget about me, alright?"
you said assertively.

"i won't," he assured you.

so, the two of you sat there,
mostly in silence,
waiting for the worst to come.

you could've spent the rest of your life
in that moment,
basking in the fading sunlight with him.

or maybe your first date.

there, you'd really love to stay.

sitting on that blanket forever,
eating together
like the rest of the world was frozen in time.

absolute heaven.

for a moment, you wanted to run away.

ditch your family and just hide with him, away from the rest of the world.

that would be a dream come true.

you loved this more than anything.

but as they say,
all good things must come to an end.
