After collecting her things from the house she used to call home, Y/N and Umeji made it back outside. The rain had already stopped falling by the time they had finished and the sun was shining brightly on the puddle-filled streets. Y/N looked up and smiled at the barely noticable rainbow beginning to appear in the sky and quickly grasped Umeji's wrist to gain his attention.

"Ume-kun, look!" she exclaimed, pointing at the cerulean blue sky above them. The blonde glanced upwards and grinned at the beautiful sight.

"A rainbow, huh?" he asked, gazing at Y/N's excited expression with amusement on his face. Y/N nodded and continued grinning, not letting go of Umeji's wrist. The blonde looked down at her hand tightly grasping his wrist and a smile lit up his features as the familiar warm feeling spread through his body. He gently released her hand, only to grasp it in his larger one and proceed to run forward while tugging her with him. Y/N gasped and then laughed from the sudden motion.

"Umeji! Why are you running?" she asked with sparkling eyes, looking up at his mischievous face. Umeji merely laughed as he continued pulling her along.

"You'll see!" he yelled back to her, causing some of the people on the street to give them disapproving looks for being so loud. The pair continued to run down the streets of their town until they reached a large park. The trees and grass were covered with dewdrops giving them a glittering appeal, and as the pair reached the lake, they were met with a spectacular sight.

"Woah" Y/N said in astonishment, her eyes widening at the magnificent scenery. Umeji smirked and placed a hand around her shoulders, bringing her into his side. Y/N gently placed her head on his chest and looked towards the lake with a joyful expression. The pair stood together for a few minutes, simply admiring the view as she sun slowly started to set above their heads. The sky gradually turned a golden orange and slowly faded into a scarlet red as time passed. Y/N smiled and looked up to meet Umeji's eyes as he grinned at the girl in his arms.

"Never knew you were so romantic, Ume-kun ~" she teased, poking his stomach with her finger. Umeji chuckled and swatted her hand away before gently grasping her hand. He gazed into her E/C orbs with a mixture of adoration and intent, which took Y/N's breath away the longer she stared.

"Will you be mine?" he mumbled, nervousness briefly flashing across his face. Y/N blushed, clearly taken aback by his question, but soon nodded eagerly at the preposition.

"O-Of course! Should have asked back at my house, eh?" she joked, causing Umeji to roll his eyes. He smirked and quickly brought his lips down to meet hers, making the H/C-haired girl even more flustered than before. This time round, the kiss was quick and the two pulled away smiling lightly. Umeji intertwined their hands together and sent Y/N a wink before beginning to make their way to Osoro's house. There was a pleasant silence between the pair as they walked, both preferring to savour the moment than to ruin it with chatter. Eventually, they made it and Umeji turned to Y/N.

"I'll see you tomorrow Y/N" he spoke with a caring smile, gently patting the girl on the top of her head. Y/N huffed in frustration and swatted his hand away while standing on her tiptoes to mess up his hair. Umeji laughed and grabbed onto her wrists to prevent her from reaching his head.

"Hey! No fair!" she pouted, causing Umeji to smirk at the short girl.

"Aw, how adorable" he teased, earning another 'hey!' from the H/C-haired girl. This bantering continued for a solid ten minutes until Osoro's cough brought the two out of their argument.

"Guys, as much as I'm enjoying this, it's getting kind of late and my dad is about to lock the door" Osoro spoke, wearing a smirk on her face. The pair blushed from slight embarrassment as they simultaneously pointed their fingers at the later.

"It's his/her fault!" They yelled at the same time, causing both of them to blush even harder. Osoro grinned at the two and shook her head in amusement.

"Honestly, get a room" the muttered, before leaving her two friends outside with identical expressions of shock on their face. Y/N quickly snapped out of it and groaned lightly.

"Speaking of rooms" she mumbled, "I probably have to go get settled. Bye Umeji!" Y/N called, causing the blonde to wave at her.

"See you tomorrow Y/N" he spoke, before leaving with a small smile on his face. Y/N grinned to herself as her eyes glossed over with happiness.

'Finally, I can begin my new life.'
