The Fireflies brought him back (Hotarubi no Mori e Fanfic)

Chapter IV

Hotaru's POV

Another busy day at work, it sure is very tiring. Were all on our way to go home. We all need a good rest.

It has been almost a month since I last had a dream about Gin. I dont know why still, I keep reviewing what had happened again and again and it seems I cant figure it out. My hallucinations of him seem to have gone too. Oh, how I hope he would visit me soon! I really, really miss him, very, very much.

I think even when years pass or even decades, still, I wont be tired of waiting for him. He's my one great love after all.

Fate might have only given us a short amount of time to be together and tore us apart after, but my heart knows that was a love that would last a lifetime.

We say our Goodbyes and we head home. I snuggle in bed and tear up a little. I look at my cabinets and on the top most shelf, I saw Gin's mask. The beautiful thing he left me by.

I reach for it and place it in my heart. I could still remember the time I held it so dearly in my heart, the last summer Gin and I would spend together, the summer of his disappearance.

I then fell a sleep while holding the mask in my chest. And something you wont believe happened. I had a dream, a dream of Gin!

It has been a month! I'm so happy! This is so overwhelming too!

I see him standing before me with his sweet smile, I really, really long for.

He reach out his arms to touch my face. Just then tears start streaming down from my eyes.

"Gin, I miss you, I really, really, miss you. Please come back. Don't leave me again, stay with me. Live with me in Happily Ever After." I said.

He stayed silent for about a minute and continued to look at me, smiling. Then he finally spoke.

"My dear, Hotaru, I miss you too, I do. How I want to spend time together again like before. But you are quite mistaken, I never left you, I have always been with you. I may have disappeared physically, but I was there in your heart, truly alive. As long as my mask is with you, you are with me, please know that. The mask is a key, so please keep it, hold it in your heart and never let go. I will be back, physically, that is, I promise. I just need more time. Please continue holding on, because I wont either. Goodbye for now, Hotaru. I love you." Gin said and once again, was out of sight.

I wake up with tears in my eyes and my hands continually holding up the mask to my heart.

I put the mask down and look intently at it, as if that was Gin holding my hand.

"I love you too, Gin. Yes, I will keep holding on, believing. I know you will come back. And when you do, we'll live in Happily Ever After, I'm sure of it. You'll live inside my heart forever and no one can ever change that or replace you. Once again, I love you." I said.
