Finally Together

It had been a few years since Yuujirou had graduated high school, and things were going pretty good for him, he still hung out (read picked on) Mikoto who was now a medical student, and he had a pretty steady modelling job, but... he missed his best friend... he hadn't seen or heard from Tohru in years, the last time he saw him was graduation day, after that... nothing. Tohru hadn't even say bye as they were packing to leave, he had acted so out of the ordinary, and that made Yuujirou feel very angry and sad.

The two had grown closer even after they were done with being princesses, they were still classmates, still roommates, still teased Mikoto relentlessly, they were still best friends... or so Yuujirou had thought.

They had grown so close that even more people mistook them for a couple, the incidences of people (sometimes the same people) asking if they were together grew, hell even Mikoto was guilty of asking at times too. Of course they both would deny it because truly there was nothing between them. Well... Yuujirou would deny it and curse out whoever brought it up (unless it was his mother or step-dad), whereas Tohru would just look awkward and embarrassed and shake his head slowly.

"Have you heard from him?" Yuujirou asked Mikoto, yet again, while they were sitting at a restaurant, having lunch and catching up before Yuujirou's next shoot.

"No, I haven't heard from Tohru in at least a year," the pinkett replied, "are you sure you two didn't have any unresolved problems?"

"Yes, as far as I knew we were getting along just fine." the blond answered, and it was true, he thought things were fine, they didn't have an argument in the weeks leading up to graduation, Tohru did seem a bit... down but he didn't seem angry. When Yuujirou had asked his best friend what was wrong (multiple times), the greenett had said everything was okay.

"Well, maybe he's just been busy?" The pink haired medical student offered weakly.

"Too busy to contact me, but not busy enough to forget to contact you?" Yuujirou sighed, starting to feel sad at the mere thought.

"Sorry, Yuu," Mikoto patted his friend's hand gently. "I'm--" he was cut off by his phone ringing loudly, he checked it, Megumi, he'd better answer. He offered Yuujirou an apologetic smile as he accepted the call.

Yuujirou checked the time, 1:15, he had to be at the shoot in 20 minutes, "I have to go." he whispered to Mikoto and then went to go pay his part of the bill. As he was exiting the restaurant, he bumped into someone else.

"Oh, I'm so sor--" the blond began and then he realized who it was, "Tohru?"

As soon as the greenett realized who it was that he had bumped into, he tried to bolt, but Yuujirou was quicker and had grabbed his arm as soon as Tohru looked like he was about to run away.

"Tohru... why...?" the blond started, glad to see his friend after so long, but feeling a hard to describe feeling in his heart.

"I... do you have time to talk?" Tohru asked, looking down and refusing to meet Yuujirou's eye.

"I will in about an hour or so, could you please wait for me, Tohru?" to which Tohru nodded.

As they were walking, Yuujirou finally noticed Tohru had grown several inches taller than him, he had also grown his hair out a little so it now fell almost at his shoulders.
