As days passed, Giyuu eventually healed up, finally bidding Shinobu a goodbye.
It was surprising as Sanemi visited Giyuu every single day, even going to meet him when he was about to leave.

"Tomioka, you're okay now?"

Giyuu nodded, walking to him as he held his hand. He looked back at Shinobu.
"See you later, Kocho."

Shinobu nodded.
"Take care!"

She sighed softly.
How cute...

"...So, how're you feeling now, Tomioka?"
Sanemi asked, walking beside Giyuu.

"I'm feeling good, better that you're here for me."
Giyuu smiled, blushing softly.

"...Don't mention it."
Sanemi wrapped an arm around Giyuu's shoulder.

"Hmm..."
Giyuu gently pressed his head against Sanemi's shoulder as they walked.

We're together... Despite all the things that have happened...

Is it fate?

Because if it is, I'm really grateful... For allowing me to enjoy my days with someone like Shinazugawa-San...

I love him... very much.

Giyuu smiled at his thoughts.
Sanemi noticed his smile.

"What're you smiling at?"
He asked curiously, a small smile playing on his lips as well.

"A-Ah! It's nothing..."

Sanemi sighed.
"Stop hiding things from me, Tomioka..."

Giyuu didn't reply.

"...You hear me? I don't want you to hide things from me and then end up doing something horrible..."

"You should say it, while you still have time."

Giyuu chuckled softly.

"Nah, I think I have just enough time to tell you everything..."
He held Sanemi's hand that wrapped around him, squeezing it gently.

Sanemi sighed, his gaze fixed on the road.

"I don't know, Tomioka..."
He looked at Giyuu.

"What if I don't wait for long?"

Giyuu's eyes widened, but he laughed again.

"Then... I will run after you!"

Sanemi looked at Giyuu, a small chuckle escaping his lips.

His mind slowly shifted to his thoughts as he watched Giyuu laugh and talk, so happily, as if there was no end.

...Am I going crazy...?
Even if I am, I don't care, I guess...

After losing almost everyone in my life, the people I loved so much...
I always had a feeling in the back of my mind...

It would tell me...

"Don't fall in love, it's stupid..."

"They leave you at the end, and you're left heartbroken."

"Just stop caring."

But the day Tomioka started spending time with me, showing me how he really is... Childish and clumsy...

I decided not to listen to my mind.

My mind tells me that love is stupid...
Well, if it really is, then I don't mind people calling me stupid.
