subject: hey

hey, bokuto. how are you? yeah, look. i'm using text to tell you something. i know we haven't spoken for about... 2 or 3 years now and i'm sure you already have a girlfriend by now.

about what happened in the past, even tho you said not to apologize, i still feel like it was my fault i held you back from doing what you wanted to do; to become a volleyball champion. i was selfish and i think so much on our relationship i forgot how volleyball meant so much to you. the way you talked about them made me felt so bad about myself i could kill myself. i cried every night thinking i should've let you go before. but instead i forced you to stay beside me and neglected your hobby. your dream. for that, i'm terribly sorry.

bokuto, remember when i told you i always have weird dreams or visions every night and it became a reality eventually? i have a "vision" last week; i didn't see myself in the future. all i see is darkness and mist. when i woke up crying, the only word i muttered was your name, bokuto. i wanted you to be there for me. i can tell i'm not going to have a future. i'm not going to live long, bokuto. i'm scared. i've said to myself i'd rather die than to be here to live but when i was with you, i just... i wanted to live for you. when we broke up, i felt like i was before; full of despair, depressed, filled with tears and my heart broke into two. that's how sad i was when i thought of letting you go so you could be happy.

please understand that i love you so much, i would save you from any danger while i'm in heaven. i'll be your guardian. no danger can come to you while i'm in heaven. no way.

take care of yourself.

8 years from now, you were gone. bokuto stared at the message sent to him a few minutes ago and he was holding you in his arms watching the sakura trees leaves drop. you were smiling and tightly hug your boyfriend by his side. he knew you were upset inside that you were holding him back from his dreams but that wasn't his reason for you to break up with him. you did it because you want everyone to be happy except you.

"kou? what is it? you're crying." you wiped his tears as he put his phone down, thinking about what you're feeling now. it hurt, he knows. he thought he was holding you back but he never intends to leave you because he's going to be there for you. support you. leave his dreams just to see you smile. he intends to leave his dream to marry you.

"i-i'm just glad i'm here with you, (Name)-chan... i don't want you to think you're holding me back."

you're surprised. "h-how did you-"

"(Name)-chan... i want to leave my dream so i could be with you. don't ever leave me because you think so. i wanted to do this so i could be with you. be with our children. until the day we both die," bokuto stood up and held your hand, slowly kneeling before you. "(Name), will you be my wife and change your surname to bokuto?" he cheekily smiled when your face changed from confused to surprised. your tears visible.

"yes... YES!" you jumped into his arms and shared kisses. bokuto smiled so side his jaw might break but it was worth it. he is going to stop you from dying. he's going to help you.

he's going to change your future and lead it to a better path.
