{Present Time}  

The both of us just sitting on the grass as Shiro end his story telling. I just stare at Kiyoshi's grave and hug my knees up to my chest. 

"I see, that's what happened." I said as I pluck small excess of leaves on his grave. 

Shiro just nodded, "I hope you're not mad or disappointed."

"Mad?" I turn to him, "Why would I be mad?

"Well, when he decided to talk to me," He lowered his head and look at me a little, "And not you." 

I smiled, "It's fine. I was able to see him for the last time because I was with him when he was taken to the hospital. I saw him but he didn't saw me." 

"I'm sorry." 

"You don't have to, I understand why you and especially, Kiyoshi did that." I said and just smiled at him. He sighed and lie on his back with his hand supporting his head. 

"I'm happy that you were able to recover, even though it was hard though." 

"Tell me about it. How can you move on when you're stuffed with crazy yet fun memories of that idiot." 

I lean beside him and we start talking about small memories of Kiyoshi. We did have some similar encounters about him, too, like, Kiyoshi being clingy or sometimes he likes to whine which Shiro did encounter but I asked Shiro why did Kiyoshi slowly stopped being clingy to me and he replied, "It's because Kiyoshi was slowly getting shy to you. Of course if you had a crush on someone you can't be that annoying. I'm surprised he was able to suppress that." For two years of figuring out why, it was because of that? I'm an idiot for not knowing that trivial reason. 

"I thought you were a girl." Then I chuckled a little. He flinched and slightly raised his head, "I'm sorry okay? Jeez! It was Kiyoshi's fault! Just drop that issue." 

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Seriously? What kind of parent would name their son Megu?" 

He let out a Tch! and didn't initiate to argue. I took a glance on my watch and we've been here for almost two hours. I wonder to where are we going next? If there isn't any place, then I should tell him about dinner later. I turn to him and ready to say what I have in mind but he cut me off and said, "Let's go to Kei and Haru's place." 

My eyes widen and glitter. It's been three days since we last saw them. I quickly stood up and replied, "Sure!," I pulled his hand and forcing him to stand, "Come on! let's go!" 

"You sure are excited to see Kei. Miss her huh?" 

"It's not that I miss her-" 

"Stop being a tsundere." Then he laughed. I glared at him and let go of his arm, "If you're gonna put it that-" I was cut of again when he suddenly reached for my hand and pulled me on to him. I safely land on his chest. 

"O-oi! what are you doing!?" I said as I hid my blushing cheeks. 

He slowly hugged me and whispered," Sometimes it's fine like this don't you think?" 

"Where in public!" Even though there wasn't too many people. "And plus," I rose but I wasn't able to continue my words when I saw Shiro's face. I just stared at him and he did the same. We've been going out for seven months and this is the very first time I looked at him purely. He slowly lifts his hands and little by little holding my warm cheeks. I know where this is going but I don't know why I can't pull back.
