Y/n's P.O.V.
I winced as I carried the tray of food into the dining room, where Kou and Azusa were waiting patiently. I put on a small smile to them, despite how destroyed I felt on the inside.
"Hey guys, sorry I took so long. Dinner is ready."
"No problem, M Neko-chan~ Thank you for the food!" Kou said cheerfully. I limped my way to the table and set the tray onto the table, wiping the top of my forehead. I really wish Ruki was here right now. I could've used the help cooking dinner. I still have five other trays to get out here. Azusa raised his head slightly, giving me a concerned expression.
"What happened....to your leg?" he asked. I glanced down at my leg. It was better bandaged now, but red still bled through it. I just put on a smile.
"It's nothing. I just, uh....tripped?" I said. "You're not a good liar." Kou stated bluntly, making me stick my tongue out at him childishly. However he then put on a serious expression.
"It was Yuma-kun, wasn't it?" he said. I frowned at the mention of Yuma. That was the last thing I wanted to talk about. I don't want to speak about that cruel, heartless boy right now. In fact, I don't even want to see him.
"I tripped." I stated again, more firmly. However, they both knew they truth, I could see it on their faces. However they both knew better then to bring it up. Kou put on a smile and stood up. "Well, at least let us help carry out dinner." he said. I looked at him surprised as Azusa started to stand up as well.
"No guys, you don't have to...."
"We'll help....we want to." Azusa replied, putting on a kind smile. While it was a small gesture, it made me smile. They were so nice. At least they treated me well, unlike Yuma...hey wait. Where is Yuma? I still don't see him.
"Where is Yuma-kun? Kou, did you tell him it was time for dinner?" I asked. "I did, but he doesn't want to come. He said he wasn't hungry. He seemed kinda...off." Kou replied. I tilted my head.
"Off?"
"Yeah, its hard to explain....maybe you can convince him to come down." Kou said. I sighed and crossed my arms across my chest. "I seriously doubt it, but he needs to eat. Where is that idiot?" I asked.
"Out in his garden, sitting in an apple tree." I nodded and limped my way through the room, and eventually making it outside. The cool air of the crisp night welcomed me, making me shiver slightly. My leg pulsed with pain every time I walked on it, but it should be better within a few days or so. I looked around at all the plants Yuma had grown. That was one thing I was always impressed with. I truly enjoyed his green thumb. We even grew a few plants together. But....those days are over I guess.
I spotted his apple tree farm up ahead, and limped my way toward it. I immediately spotted brown hair hidden in the leaves of the tree before me. He was pretty high, I could barely see his face in the darkness. However I called up to him.
"Yuma-kun! Get down from there!" I called.
"....go away" he said. I looked at him in surprise. Why was he up there in the first place? The apples aren't even close to being picked yet. I stepped closer towards the tree.
"Yuma-"
"Don't get any closer!" he hissed, making me practically jump back. I could hear his breath hitch, and then he sighed.
"G-Gomen, I didn't mean it like that," he said, his tone laced with guilt, "I just....I don't want to hurt you. I'm scared that I'll hurt you more." I felt my eyes widen. What...is he talking about? I thought he didn't love me. I thought he didn't care. So why does he suddenly....
"Is your leg okay?" I blinked, and quickly nodded. "Uh yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just uh...just a scratch." I said. I could see him frown from up the tree, and he turned his head away.
"....Y/n-san. Gomenasai." he said.
"Yuma-kun."
"I-I'm sorry that I hurt you. I don't know what got over me. All the girls at school, the way they looked at me when I flirted with them....I-I guess I just enjoyed the attention. But I didn't stop to think how you would feel. And what do I do instead of apologizing....I hurt you even more." he said. He sounded choked up, like he was about to cry, which broke my heart.
"I did love you, I swear I did, and I still do. I just never took the time to appreciate it. I miss how we use to be. Going out on dates, growing plants in the garden, sharing sugar cubes, I...I miss that. But I had to go and screw it up," I could barely see tears stream down his cheeks and drip down to the bottom of the tree, "I know you won't forgive me. I don't blame you. I just....wanted to say I'm sorry." He hugged his knees and buried his face in his knees.
"I'm such an idiot...baka..." he murmured. I stared in utter shock at what I just saw....he apologized. The cruel Yuma I've seen for months had melted away. I can see him now....the Yuma I love.
I didn't hesitate to limp over to the tree with determination, and looked up. I'm not leaving Yuma to be hurt all alone. I reached out to a branch above me, barely managing to grab onto it and carefully pull myself.
"Come on....come on, ugh...ngh." Yuma raised his head slightly and looked down at me, and his eyes widened as I managed to swing my leg over the first branch.
"What are you doing?!" he said.
"I'm coming up to you, obviously!" I stated while balancing myself on the tree, shakily standing on both legs. I looked up to the next branch, and reached out to it. I tried to stand on my tipy toes, wincing as I put pressure on my injured leg.
"B-But you're hurt! And you've never climbed a tree before!" Yuma stated. "Nope, not until now!" I stated. I finally managed to grab onto the branch with a weak grip of my fingers. I attempted to raise myself up, barely lifting off of the branch below me.
However....the dreadful sound of snapping came to my ears.
The branch I had grabbed onto had snapped off, and I began to fall. I screamed as I was coming closer to the ground, unable to reach any other branches. My whole life flashed before my eyes. My childhood, my times at school, and of course....every memory I had of Yuma.
A sudden blur whirled past me, and then before I knew it I was embraced in someone's arms. We both hit the ground with a thud, but I wasn't laying on the ground, but rather my savior. I looked down, seeing Yuma's eyes were shut as he groaned.
"Itai..." he muttered.
"Yuma-kun!" He snapped his eyes open and looked up at me. "Y/n-san! Daijoubu?!" he asked, sitting both of us up, with me sitting in his lap. "I'm fine, daijoubu." I quickly stated. He let out a small sigh of relief before glaring at me, his brown eyes still teary.
"Baka! What were you thinking?! You could've gotten hurt! Do you want to be further injured-" I interrupted him by wrapping my arms tightly around his neck. He froze, his figure tensing up. "I forgive you, Yuma-kun. Gomenasai, I...I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." I said. His breath hitched before he hugged me tightly.
"Baka, you shouldn't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong." he said, his voice strained. I could feel wet droplets on my shoulder, and his grip on my tightened. I smiled, reaching a hand up to stroke his hair.
"Daijoubu, Yuma-kun. I forgive you. And...I still love you." I stated. He didn't respond, but rather he buried his face into my shoulder and continued to cry. He didn't need to tell me anymore though. I already knew that he still loved.
And I still loved him.
