FLASHBACK
"Tooru! I-I love it!" Mizuki gasped at the sight of her new gift. I gently smiled, staring into her sparkling eyes.
"This is probably the greatest gift I've ever gotten". Mizuki smiled up at me, examining the necklace in her fingers.
It was about 8:30 at night, and we were both underneath a Sakura tree at a local garden that closed much earlier than 8:30. For all I know, Mizuki and I could get into a load of trouble. But, it was our little place.
"I'm glad you like it". I whispered. I had it custom made. It was a star-shaped necklace with T+M written on the front, and on the back it said, "You are the only star in my universe" Written in Kanji. "It's really beautiful. I love how the silver sparkles". She said holding it up.
"Here...let me put it on for you". I offered, gently grabbing her hand, taking the necklace from her. Mizuki put her back towards me as I unhooked the clasp, looped my arms around her neck, and hooked it back. Mizuki smiled and softly touched it with her fingertips.
"Thank you, Tooru". She scooted a little closer to me and leaned against the tree.
"Promise me you'll never take it off?"
"I promise". She whispered. I gently grabbed her hands, and wrapped each of them around my waist and hugged her tightly. "Never leave me Mizuki...I like you too much...No, I love you".
"I won't Tooru". I was waiting for her to say it back. To say I love you. Instead I just pressed my lips against her forehead and pulled her on the grass to lie down next to me. She rolled over on her side to look at my face. "I love your eyes, Tooru". I smiled, and Mizuki blushed a little. "I do too". I said. I held onto her even tighter, if possible, not wanting her to go anywhere.
I knew she was sick, but I had hope that it was just minor; that her disease would disappear. I hoped her heart wouldn't stop on her.
I watched Mizuki slowly close her eyelids as I hummed an unknown tune to her. Her Dad is probably thinking about calling to check on her. I don't know where she grew the guts to say that she was going to her friend's house.
Mizuki NEVER lied to him...I'd like to think she got some courage because of me, but, I don't want her in trouble. Oh well, she's here now...with me. Even if something goes wrong, that necklace will be a part of me that she has with her forever. Laying down here in this garden I stare at the beautiful girl I love, that I know I will always love. I closed my eyelids too...it's a good thing the garden isn't open tomorrow, because I don't want to move from this spot.
"Goodnight, my love". Was the last thing I said to her that night. "I love you".
