It's Hard To Love Again.

You are my sky

Asano gulps as the ferris wheel starts moving. He was there in front of Manami, his heart was pounding.

"O...O...Okuda....." He stammered.

"What is it Asano kun?" She asks politely.

"I....I....j...just....wanted" Asano was trembling all over when Manami notices it.

"Asano kun you're trembling, are you okay. she bends down near him and gets hold of his cheeks. A lighting shiver is sent down Asano's body.

"She's touching me, she's touching me" the thoughts raced inside Asano's mind.

"Asano kun. Your body is so hot"

As he hears thr words Asano's face turns redder than a tomato.

"Asano kun your body is getting hotter. Let's go to a doctor you'll get sick." Says a concerned Manami.

Manami signals the authorities to stop the ferris wheel. she slowly takes out Asano and walks along with him.

Asano rests on the bed as Manami goes out to get water for him.

"Why am I such an idiot. All I need is to propose to her?" A frustrated Asano curses himself..

The door opens and Manami enters with a bottle of water and some medicines in her hand.

"Asano kun, have some water and these medicines. You'll feel better"

"Thank you so much Okuda, I'm really sorry I ruined your ride. I'm actually not a ferris wheel person" Apologizes Asano.

"No please don't say that. I actually am not fond of ferris wheel myself" she smiles as she hands him the medicine.

Asano turns away hiding his embarassed face.

"Okay then I am sure you are hungry. You wan to eat something?" Asks Manami.

"Oh no please don't tire yourself for me, I am fine" replies Asano.

"No need to be so polite. You like ramen right?"

"Uh....yeah....thanks"

"Okay then I'll get the food. You don't go anywhere" says Manami as Asano nods a yes.

Manami walks out of the room as Asano lays his head down when the door slams open hard startling Asano. it was an angry looking Aiko along with Yuko.

"A.....sa....no san" calls out Aiko.

"Aiko san, I'm really sorry I ruined your plan, I didn't mean to I just don't know what to do when she's too too close to me" apologizes Asano as he keeps his head lowered down.

Aiko cools down and goes near him.

"I know its hard but Asano kun tonight is the last night of our trip after this it'll be a busy life again. You need to do it before the trip ends.

Asano gets lost in deep thoughts as Manami enters the room with bowls of ramen.

--------------------------------

It was already 11 and the students had just finished their party. Asano walks upto his room when Aiko blocks him.

"A..sa....no....san... you are not sleeping in this room"

A confused Asano stands quietly.

"You're staying at my room" says Aiko.

"Wh......wwh....what" stammers Asano as his face becomes redder than a tomato.

"I really want to spend the night with Yuko. I am begging you" begs Aiko.

"But...but Aiko san-"

"Just go to my room I have fixed everything"

Aiko pulls Asano towards her room and knocks on the door. Manami opens the door and gives a bright smile, Aiko pushes Asano inside and pulls the door closing it.

"O....okuda I....I am really sorry I didn't mean to-"

"I know Asano kun. Aiko san just wants to spend a little time with Yuko kun and I think we should give them time as well"

"Thank....thank you so much for understanding me Okuda"

"It's nothing really and besides" Manami stretches her body.

"I don't feel like sleeping yet." She walks towards the window.

"Ah....the moon and the stars are clearly visible and beautiful today"

Asano follows her towards the window and stands beside her. As Manami admires the beauty outside Asano silently stares at her.

"It's a really beautiful sky, isn't it Asano kun?" Asks Manami.

"Yes it is" replies Asano. "After all you are my sky" says Asano inside his head.

"I wish this trip never ends. i wish it'd last forever"

"I wish we last forever too. I don't ever want to lose you" another thought rushes inside Asano's head.

A breeze blows over as Manami lets out a large yawn.

"This is the only moment I have to do it"

As Manami keeps on talking Asano takes in a deep breath and releases it relaxing himself.

"Okuda" calls out Asano as Manami looks at him.

Asano goes  close to her and plants a kiss on her lips. While Asano's eyes were shut with embarrassment Manami's eyes were wide open with shock.

Asano breaks the kiss as a stunned Okuda stands still with her eyes still wide open.

"I love you Okuda.......will you please go out with me" Asano looks on with firm eyes waiting for a reply.

Manami takes a step ahead and lands a slap on Asano's face and runs out of the room. A shocked Asano stands in the room all alone.
