Koko already left yet the blonde stayed behind the tree, sitting there hugging his knees like a child. Resting his head on the tree, closing his eyes and letting the wind wipe his tears. He sighed. He got up and took a glimpse of his sister's grave.

"I miss you. We'll see each other soon." he let out a bitter smile and left to find Yuzuha.

He saw Yuzuha sitting on a bench. It looks like she's been crying too, looking at how her eyes are still red.

The girl noticed his presence and let him sit beside her. They exchange smiles and let the loud silence eat their atmosphere. They both knew those smiles were fake and noticed the other was crying.

"Must be tough for you." Yuzuha broke the silence.

"Yuzuha..." Inui looked down trying to hide his emotion.

"Say that to yourself," he added. The girl sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder. Inui patted Yuzuha's head, comforting her.

"Inui, I saw him here earlier. Did something happen to you?" The blonde froze for a second.

"I'm fine."

Your eyes say otherwise, Inui. Yuzuha thought.

She gave him a hug, it doesn't matter what happened between Inui and Koko. It doesn't matter why Inui's sad. But she's so sure that her friend needs it right now. They are forever grateful for how they are each other's comfort person. Someone who can see their weak state, someone who they can cry with. Friendship that people are willing to kill to have. Their friendship is the most precious thing to ever exist.

Platonic soulmates.

"Thank you for dropping me off, drive safe." Yuzuha waved goodbye to her bestfriend.

She was about to go inside her apartment when someone pulled her. She was about to throw hands when she saw who it was.

"You scared me."

"You scared me too. You're not responding to my texts, Yuzuha." Takashi held her soft hand but Yuzuha removed it, dropping his hand.

"I'll go inside. Go home, Mitsuya."

"Do we have a problem? Is there something wrong?"

"Everything, Takashi. Everything." She whispered.

"Why? What do you mean? Tell me, please.." He said lovingly. He reached for her hand and planted a kiss.

"No. I.." She couldn't finish her words, afraid to tear up in front of him.

"Is it because I told you that I love you? I do, and I mean it with all my heart, Yuzuha."

"Stop. Go home."

I love you too. I tried so hard not to.

I know Hakkai will get hurt. I promised to protect him and I cannot be the one to hurt him. I can live without my love for you being fulfilled. But I must admit that I am so lonely. I want to be selfish. Just for once, I want to be selfish. I want to be with you, Mitsuya.

Mom, what should I do?

"Yuzuha, am I bothering you? Please answer so I can stop if you don't want to." Yuzuha cannot reply even a single word. Mitsuya looked at their hands. For the second time, Yuzuha dropped his hand.

"Guess, I'll take this as an answer. I'll go now, don't worry I won't be bothering you anymore. Sorry.." He forced a smile and patted her head.
