The light strums of a guitar was the only thing heard through the dim room. On the middle, there, sat a grand piano. A man with short, wavy brown hair sat by it's stool as a woman about his age sat beside him on a separate stool.

Her fingers gently strummed the guitar's strings as she played a gentle tune. Satisfied by the sound her guitar made, she looked at the man beside her with gentle, dark orbs. She parted her lips as she strummed her guitar to a simple tune.

     i will always remember
     the day you kissed my lips
     light as a feather
     and it went just like this
     no it's never been better
     than the summer
     of 2002

Flashback

He chased after the ball with all the bits of strength he had left in his feet as he tried catching up with the opponent who currently had possession of the ball. He slid, his foot ready to crash into his opponent's leg.

To his surprise, the male jumped up, the ball in his possession, and dodged his attack. Shindou's eyes widened as two of his teammates ran and tripped over his foot. His teammates fell, face first and Shindou ended up spraining his ankle, as his teammates were lying over his legs.

The sides of his leg ached with so much unbearable pain, he had to be rushed to the hospital. The other two were benched. Rieko immediately followed the men carrying the stretchers and entered the ambulance along with them.

"Excuse me miss, who are you to Mr. Shindou?" One of the medics inside asked while the rest of them treated Shindou's foot as he released groans and grunts of pain as they sprayed his injured leg with disinfectant. Rieko couldn't stop herself from crying as the tears slowly dripped down her cheeks. "I-I'm his girlfriend. Nakamura Rieko." She spoke gently, the pain of her loved one laying on a stretcher overwhelming her with so much pain.

They arrived at the hospital, with Rieko sitting down on one of the hospital chairs as she impatiently waited for them to finish treating Shindou. Roughly an hour has passed, and finally a female doctor left the emergency room where Shindou was rushed into earlier. The woman approached her as Rieko stood up, wiping her tear stained cheeks. "It'll be alright miss, I can assure you, he won't die. His leg though..."

The doctor shook her head, and with a downhearted voice, she said, "I'm afraid that there's a 79% chance that his foot cannot heal. I'm sorry, but if this happens, we'll have to...." She trailed off. Upon noticing the miserable look on the girl's face, the doctor immediately added saying, "But we don't know that for sure! For now, we've properly treated his leg. He'll have to walk in a cast for a few weeks, or even a few months, but if he works hard, I can assure you that he will make a full recovery!"

The tears rolled down her already, tear stained face. She couldn't stop crying. "Takuto..." She whispered. "He'll be alright." The doctor offered her a smile before excusing herself. Strange how this could happen on one soccer tournament. "He won't die... Right?" She whispered to herself, slowly sliding back onto her seat.

Rieko cried, her friends coming over to accompany and comfort her.

     we were only eleven
     but acting like grown ups
     like we are in the present, drinking from
     plastic cups singing, "love is forever and
     ever" well, I guess that was true

The room slowly filled up with people from different places. All of them coming to listen to the beautiful songs of the lovers.

     dancing on the hood in the middle of the
     woods of an old Mustang, where we sang
     songs with all our childhood friends
     and it went like this, yeah

     oops I got ninety-nine problems singing
     bye, bye, bye hold up, if you wanna go and
     take a ride with me better hit me, baby,
     one more time paint a picture for you and
     me of the days when we were young
     singing at the top of both our lungs

The two lovers smiled as they made a beautiful performance, switching vocals every now and then as they made a perfect combination.

     now we're under the covers
     fast forward to eighteen
     we are more than lovers
     yeah, we are all we need
     when we're holding each other
     i'm taken back to 2002

     dancing on the hood in the middle of the
     woods of an old Mustang, where we sang
     songs with all our childhood friends
     and it went like this, yeah

     oops I got ninety-nine problems singing
     bye, bye, bye hold up, if you wanna go and
     take a ride with me better hit me, baby,
     one more time paint a picture for you and
     me of the days when we were young
     singing at the top of both our lungs
     on the day we fell in love
     on the day we fell in love

     dancing on the hood in the middle of the
     woods of an old Mustang, where we sang
     songs with all our childhood friends
     oh, now

They shared a sweet smile, one that showed nothing but pure love and adoration to their partner.

     oops I got ninety-nine problems singing
     bye, bye, bye hold up, if you wanna go and
     take a ride with me
     better hit me, baby, one more time
     paint a picture for you and me
     of the days when we were young
     singing at the top of both our lungs
     on the day we fell in love
     on the day we fell in love
     on the day we fell in love
     on the day we fell in love
     on the day we fell in love, love, love
  
They smiled as everything around them faded into nothingness, the artificial foot ignored as if it weren't there to begin with.
