Kio's pov...
Gazing up at the stars I feel the wind blow lightly through my hair, I smile lazily due to my tired stat.
"Hi Kio." I hear a voice call from behind me.
I turn my head looking at an outline of a human, I smile weakly up at him before dropping my gaze back down on my hands.
"Hi," I weakly say running my hand through my hair.
"Nice night to see the stars." He comments, sitting down next to me on my roof.
"Ya, I guess." I sigh letting my hand trace the roof tiles with my pointer finger, hearing slight movement from the roofs surface.
The wind blows again through my hair making me scrunch my face up due to the cold.
"How have you been?" He asks making me turn my head to look at him. I breath in deeply, letting out a shaky breath afterwards.
"Sad, I miss you." My breathing shallows from trying not to cry. He just hums in response looking up towards the stars.
"I know. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I sigh looking at the stars too. "I can see Cassiopeia." I point out, lifting my hand to trace it with my finger.
"Ya, it's very pretty." He grins looking down at me, I just smile lazily back making him frown. "You should go to bed."
"Why, this is the only time that I feel alive." I say standing up and walking up my roof to the top. The wind blows my shirt against my body, making me smile and look back at him.
He grins standing next to me on the roof now, he blows air on my forehead making me giggle.
"I love you." He says looking down at me. I frown looking down at my closed hands and feel tears well up in my eyes.
"Why did you do it?" I say shakily, looking back up into his white eyes. He frowns lifting his hand to my face, the wind blowing against my face and hair. "Why did you have to leave?"
"I'm sorry Kio, I never meant to hurt you, I'll help you get through this hard time, please don't do something you'll regret, like me."
A sob racks through my body, I slowly sit down on the roof again and pull my face into my hands to muffle the tears.
"I thought everything was fine, why did you lie to me?" I cry out quietly, the wind rushing through my hair roughly now, making me look up.
"I didn't want you to worry, I regretted it right when I did it, please, please." He trails off making me look away.
"I guess I really am tired, I have to go inside." I say wiping my tears with the back of my hand and pushing myself off the ground. The wind whirls around my body making me stand still, not wanting to fall off the roof.
"Wait, can we look at the stars one last time?" He questions knowing this is the last time we'll ever see each other.
"Fine." I state walking back to my original spot on the roof, sinking onto the tiles again.
Wind blows through my hair and clothes making me shiver from the cold.
"Sorry." He says making me shake my head.
"It's fine you can't help it." I pat the spot next to me so he can sit down, smiling so he knows it's okay.
We continue pointing out stars until I feel like I'm about to pass out from exhaustion. I see the stars all mash together making one big star like the sun. Wind blows against my head and I turn to see him again, I blink my eyes trying to get rid of the cluster of stars in my head.
"I think it's time for me to go." He smiles gently standing up slowly, me following after
"Thank you." I whisper looking up at him one last time. He smiles blowing air on my forehead again, making me giggle quietly.
"Thank you." He says spinning around me. "I left you on your own and I'm truly sorry for that. But it's been a year now, it's time to let go."
I smile sadly looking at my feet,
"You were the best thing that ever happened to me." I sigh rubbing my tired eyes, trying to stay awake.
"You were too, but I don't think it was the right life for me." He states giving me a sad smile.
"Ya," I trail off in thought before the wind is blowing my side roughly again.
"Goodbye Griffin." I smile up at him, a tear spilling out of my eye.
"Goodbye Kio."
Griffin smiles back before he starts to glow, the wind pushing at my back rushing towards him. He looks at me one last time with a smile on his face before he disappears. The wind rushes past and starts to circle me before blowing off into the starry night.
After that no more wind showed up, I look down the street seeing the flickering lamp posts and the stars off in the distance. I walk down the roof towards the ladder, looking behind me one last time to see our spot we always sat at, looking at the stars together.
It's time for me to move on and find new love. Griffin will always be in my heart and nothing will change the way I feel about him, but he wasn't happy in his life and I understand why he did what he did. He'll never leave my side, I know he's watching over me.
Staring at the stars together will always be our thing.

If you're confused at all, Griffin has passed away (he didn't want to live anymore) and he's the wind that Kio is feeling, if that makes sense.
