"huh ? you're moving ?"
isagis hands stop fiddling with the ice cream in his hands, the cold wetting his skin. you nod curtly. "dad said it's for work, and that we'll be back in like a year or something like that." when he hears your words, the blue eyed boy feels a multitude of feelings wash over him. was it anxiety ? disappointment ? fear ? he looks at you, but you don't return his gaze.
your shoulders feel heavy and it wasn't from the guitar and school bag slung across your body. you turn to him.
"in two weeks. i'll be at the train leaving for miyagi so... make sure to be there okay ?" you say with your heart clenching. he can only muster a nod before reaching to take his cold hand into yours. his grip is strong, as though he was afraid it would run out of his grasp.
instantly you took comfort in his affection. shoulders gently brushing against each other. bodies so close you could smell each others scent. nostalgia was a common feeling when isagi would reach for your touch, and you soaked in every feeling of it.
the walk home was silent, with only the feeling of his skin on yours and despair leaving trails behind.

isagi yoichi is the last person you see before boarding the train. people are crowding the station. adults with their kids, elderly trying to weave their way through, there was a bit of everyone among the boarding area. you stare at the small bunny keychain isagi gifted you in your hand, it's beady black eyes staring right back at you. the white fur feels soft as you ran your finger through it.
"the trains coming in a bit so, uh..." for some reason, you don't know what to say. isagi covers your worries with the same warm smile he always offers. "we're matching !" he holds out his own bunny keychain that was adorned with gray fur. you smile at how cute he was
"i guess it's a way to have a bit of you while i'm gone." you muster with a smils. he nods.
the intercoms ring in your ears, signaling that your stop was about to take off. you quickly take your suitcase and give him one last look. "i'll miss you, so wait for me."
"before you leave..."
you stop in your tracks and feel his hands reach for your shoulders, closing the distance and sealing his lips onto yours into a sweet kiss. his eyes are shut closed in embarrassment. it's chaste and saccharine. you feel yourself melting into him as he cups your cheeks with his sweaty hands.
there is no way this is happening right now.
you're kissing your own best friend right before you leave for essentially the other side of japan. sure, you always daydreamed of seeing isagi as someone more than a friend, but your sweet nothings were always shut down with the concept of being just friends.
the moment he lets go, you realize that he's a flustered mess. he licks his lips as though he's attempting to savor the flavor of your lip balm and his cheeks are redder than tomatoes.
"i'll be here... so..."
your lips bloom into a smile and you pull him into one last hug before heading off.
"see you later bunny !" you call out with a child-like tone. he can only hear your voice and the pounding of his heart like a metronome. "yeah, i-i'll see you later !" isagi mumbles out despite the fact that you were out of his view.
he's already dreading the next year that will take him into high school without you.
