The Final Goodbye-Yuta

Yo sorry its been a phat minute! 
-----------

The setting sun was shining through the orange leaves of the trees surrounding Jujutsu tech. For once it was quiet-oddly quiet, but it was nice and peaceful. The sound of the wind rustling through the trees, and the crunching beneath my feet as I walked through the courtyard. I stopped and took in the nice view, and the fresh smell. I could hear footsteps behind me, only for it to be my best friend Yuta. He was standing there with a sad smile on his face and a paper in his hand. 

I gave him a confused look as he stepped forward and looked down at the paper. 
Eventually giving it to me, I quietly read it to myself. "Yuta..this is great news! This is your opportunity to shine and grow stronger." I say handing him the paper. It was a transfer letter from Kyoto, inviting him to join their school. He finally broke the silence filling the air. "Y/n you do know i'd be leaving here right? We'd probably never see eachother again" His eyes scanned the lines of the letter again, his face was calm but something was bothering him.

"I understand that, but I'm not going to be selfish and tell you to stay here if something like that is going to benefit you overall. You're my best friend of course I don't want you to go." I respond, scanning his features while he focused on the letter in his hands.  "I didn't ask for this.." Yuta trailed off, his voice soft. "They think i'd be better off there." It seemed as if he didn't know what to do. 

"Maybe its for the best yuta.." I say swallowing hard, almost forcing the words out of me. Of course Yuta had always been different and stronger than others here, and we'd miss him like hell but.. isnt it best he goes somewhere he'll succeed more? It was no doubt the higher ups were afraid of him and wanted to execute him for his power. 

Yuta finally looked up, hurt in his eyes and something else that almost looked like.. hesitation? 

"Do you really believe that?" He asks. I look down at my feet before looking behind him trying to avoid eye contact-fear of losing control of my emotions. "I believe you are stronger than you think, and that you'd fit great there, if that's what you choose."
Truth is, I didn't want my best friend to go anywhere. To be even more honest, I wish we were more than just best friends. 

I could feel him slipping from my fingertips in that moment. Like sand running through your hands. As much as I love to see him succeed, I never want him to leave. I felt if I didn't tell him, i'd never get another chance to. "Yuta I don't know what exactly you need." I start trying to get the courage to tell him. "I just know I don't want you to leave, but if that is what you choose to do I will support you" I say lightly grabbing hold of his arm. 

Yutas expression changed, the conflict in his eyes deepening. He took a step closer, the letter still crumpled in his hand, but now it seemed irrelevant, like a decision that suddenly didn't matter as much. "They don't want me here..." He says causing me to raise my head. 

"I don't want to leave either," Yuta whispered, his voice barely audible over the soft rustle of the leaves. "But I feel like I have to." For a moment, everything stood still. The world seemed to hold its breath, waiting for what would come next. I nod, holding back my tears back as much as I could, failing as they stream down my cheeks. But instead of begging him I smile up at him and he grabs my small hands, in his bigger warm ones. "I'm always going to be here for you" He smiles. 
I chuckle, "And I'll always support you." 

He looked down at the letter again, sighing softly, his grip tightening.

"I need to go," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "There's so much I still need to learn, and this transfer... it could help me control everything better. I can't afford to hold back anymore." My heart sank. I tried to keep my face neutral, but the weight of his words pressed down on me, crushing the fragile hope I'd been clinging to. "I know." I smile. Yuta gave me a soft smile, the kind that almost made things worse. "This isn't goodbye forever. I'll visit... I'll stay in touch."

"I promise." He adds. I nodded, but my throat was tight, and the ache in my chest made it impossible to say anything else. The words I wanted to speak—don't go, please stay—were caught somewhere between my heart and my mouth, too tangled with fear and doubt to make it out.

He hesitated for a moment longer, then turned to leave. I watched him walk away, his figure growing smaller as he disappeared down the path, the shadows swallowing him up until he was gone. The air felt colder without him there, the silence deafening.

And that was it. He was leaving. For good. Not knowing if i'd ever actually see him again. 

The days passed and that empty feeling never went away. I was lacking at practice and sleeping as much as I could to distract myself from the pain of missing him. I told myself I should be happy for him. Yuta had always been destined for more, and this was his chance to grow, to become the sorcerer we all knew he could be. But knowing that didn't make it hurt any less. It didn't fill the void he left behind. I was on my way back from training when I heard a voice.

"Y/n."

I stopped, my breath caught in my throat. "Yuta..?" I whispered, as if saying his name too loudly would break the illusion. He nodded, his eyes softening as they met mine. "I'm... I'm back," he said, as if that wasn't already obvious.

In a split second my feet were carrying me to the tall man in front of me, jumping into him and squeezing him in a tight hug. "But... why? What happened? I thought you were leaving for Kyoto."

"I was.." Yuta started putting me down and holding me in place. "But... I couldn't go through with it. I thought leaving was the right thing, that it would help me grow stronger, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I was leaving behind everything that mattered to me."

"Everything?" He gave a small, almost shy nod. "Yeah. Everything. The team... you."I blinked, the breath I hadn't realized I was holding finally escaping in a shaky exhale. He had come back. He had chosen to stay. "But why?" The words slipped out before I could stop them. I needed to hear it. I needed to know why, after everything, he'd changed his mind.

Yuta smiled, stepping closer again until we were just a few feet apart. "Because I realized something while I was gone," he said, his voice soft but sure. "No amount of training or strength could replace what I have here. What I have with you. I don't want to be somewhere far away when what I need... what I want is right here." "I... I thought you were really leaving," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't think you'd come back."

"I almost didn't," he said, reaching out to gently take my hand. His touch was warm, grounding. "But I couldn't stay away. Not when I knew what I'd be missing." I squeezed his hand, the knot in my chest unraveling. I didn't need to ask if this meant things were different now. It was in the way he looked at me, the way his fingers laced with mine. This was something new, something that had been unspoken between us for too long.

And for the first time since he'd left, I felt like everything was going to be okay.

He was staying.

With me.
