I'm just gonna say a few things before I start this oneshot.
1) I will be using the Japanese names
Tanmoku Ki - Duamnu Xi
You Keika - Yang Jinghua
2) This is based on the events in the second season
3) Shin Shiyou will not be Tanmoku's fiancee in this oneshot.
Thank you and please enjoy the oneshot.
~Timeskip to months after the last episode of the second season~
"Tanmoku Kiiiiii! Wake uuuuuppppppp!" You Keika sighs, poking the boy's back. "Seriously? Otherwise, I'll use my tactic for waking up." He grins mischievously, getting ready to shout.
"Uhh... I'm up." Grunts and grumbles come from the bed as the 18 year old begrudgingly gets up from the bed, stretching.
"You're really lazy, you know that?" Keika only got an death glare in response, making him flinch. "W-Well, what are we doing?"
Ki stands and looks at the calendar on the wall. "Hmm..." He then turns around to his partner. "Keika, when's your birthday?"
(I know there isn't an calendar. It's for the story!)
"My birthday?" He sits on the bed, thinking. Hmm... It's..." His eyes widen in shock and realisation, "Today..."
"Happy birthday, You Keika." Keika looks up to see Tanmoku Ki with an small smile holding an cake with lit candles. The cake gets placed on the table.
Still shocked, he wanders off the bed and to the table. He bends down and closes his eyes, being silent for an few moments. He re-opens them and blows.

"Tanmoku Ki, where are we going?" After he had the cake, Tammoku Ki took him to the car and started to drive with no clue where he's going.
"Somewhere familiar. We're here." He stops the car at the side of the road and gets out. Keika follows him, curious. Until he sees the sand. He stumbles back slightly, memories flashing through his mind.
"This is where...-"
"You met that boy, yes."
"But... How do you know... Why..."
'It's now or never.' Tanmoku Ki grabs You Keika's hands and gets him to face him.
"Tanmoku Ki..."
"Keika, I was the boy you protected back then."
"What.........." His eyes fill with hope. "Really?! What happened to you?! How did your hair turn white?! Where did you-" His sentence gets broken off by an sudden extreme pain in his head. He drops to the floor, screaming in pain.
Tanmoku Ki drops to his side, trying to use his powers to help, but it doesn't work. "Damn it!!! Keika! Keika!! Keika!!!"

"TANMOKU KI!!!!"
Gasping deeply, Tanmoku Ki gets pulled into the real world. Covered in sweat, he shoots up and looks around his room quick, before realising that it was an dream. None of it even happened.
He grabs onto You Keika's waist, hiding his face."Tanmoku Ki... Are you ok?"
"I'm just glad you're here."
