It Started With A Kiss

Chapter 37: I Won't Stop Loving You...

It doesn't matter when everything is different. 
I don't care if you are different. 
If you are in pain, I will help you. 
If you cry, then I'll help you smile again.
If you are all alone, I will not leave you.
If you are struggling, then I will help you back up.
I won't stop until I make you happy.
It doesn't matter if things are different.
But..you are the reason why I'm here.
You're the reason why you made me feel alive again...

I won't stop loving you.

Rain became even heavier.  But we just stood there, staring deeply into our eyes.  His eyes were so gentle.  So calm.  Tender.  That it made my heart filled with joy.  It's so welcoming.  His pierced sapphire orbs attached to mine.  I ended up being distracted.

"Hiyori..?" His voice soothed me.  It made me return back to reality.  A blush crept madly to my cheeks, a bit embarrassed at his sudden words, caught myself in a daydream. 

"You okay?  You've been spacing out for like five minutes." He rested his elbow on his knee.  His hair was soaking wet leading his other eye covered in it.

I blinked a couple of times as I shook my head lightly before I speak.  "I-I'm fine..." I stuttered on my own words.

"Don't look fine to me." His words made my heart stopped for a brief second. 

It was an awkward silence.  Only the heavy rain can be heard from the background.  The rustle of the leaves filled my ears, as I felt a bit relief.

Good thing rain was there.  I don't want silence to take over making it feel weird. 

"Yato--" "--Hiyori"

Both of us said in unison as I blushed again.  He averted his gaze.  "Y-You go first.." He ruffled his hair, embarrassed.

I adjusted my position, resting my back once again against the trunk of the tree.  Even though its a bit frisky, but it's kinda cozy.

I brought my body closer to me as I slightly look at Yato to my side.

A huge sigh escaped my lips, letting out a cold breath that has been holding up inside my chest.

For some reason, I can hear his thoughts. 

"When y-you suddenly disappeared Yato.. there was a guy who I encountered a few days back.  I think you might know him..". Listening, I continued.  "He told me everything about you.  He also said that--"

"Is he the same guy from before..?" Yato cut me off.

"Huh..?" I blinked out of confusion as he gave me a blank expression.  "Back then, when I.." His eyes averted from mine, "..asked...on..who was first kiss.."

At first I don't know what's he talking about, but seeing him blush made me realize on what he's trying to point out.

For some reason, my heart was beating like crazy.  I couldn't stop.  It was so bizarre yet surprised that he still remember after all this time.

It came back once again.  "I-I..." I couldn't say it properly.  I tried to look around just to find a clear answer but my mind's all whacked up.
