"Wow, is even more beautiful than i thought," Yukari commented flattered, viewing the environment around her. Her brown eyes shone, making her emotions float.
"I knew that you would like it," Makoto said relieved, perhaps he saw that reaction coming, he still had his doubts. It was now a less weight in his conscience.
The pair take advantage of Valentine's to visit a famous part that was on a city a bit far of Tatsumi port island. It was about two hours of trips they enjoyed together, but now the main thing of the expected day began. They can delight this day in peace.
Both were in an open field with several trees around, it was windy, so the scent of the meadow and flowers was quite noticeable. Apart there were not many people, giving them enough options where to eat together to choose.
"I can't seriously believe you worked for all one week just for this..." Yukari shaked her head, unbelieving, lowering her gaze. "Really ... am I so important to you?" She muttered looking away, a slight smile on her face. She felt it was too much.
To her, it was really weird how much Makoto wanted to be by her side. While is true that they were togetherfor months, dating rarely, he tried his best to please her, although both were just starting this stage. He was used to be more quiet and reserved, until he slowly started to be more open to her, who would say that he would do this just to make her happy.
She had a hard time believing it, she couldn't help feeling flattered by these gestures she never expected to feel this early.
Worried by her reaction, the young blue-haired scratched the back of his neck "Well, a lot..." he confessed smiling "You told me that you wanted to came here, i did everything possible to make it happen today. I had slight problems but I didn't think about stopping" Yukari was still bowed, leaving the young man confused "¿Or you wanted to visit other place? Oh, sorry, i didn't believe what... oh."
She hold his hands, smiling at him "it's not that, dummy" she released a sighs "you don't have idea how much this surprises me. I thought you was that kind of guy who was just going to wait for me to give your chocolate..." she admitted blushing, will it be shame? "yesterday when you told me we would come, I was dumbfounded, it was very sweet of you."
"I see, im glad" Now it was he who felt ashamed of misunderstanding his girlfriend. Despite everything, he was still a rookie.
"But you know, you could have taken me to a more elegant place if you wanted to earn more points from my heart" She said placing a hand on her chin thoughtfully.
"¡¿Wait, really?! Oh god, i knew i need to follo..." he narrowed his eyes instantly as she began to laugh, "don't scared me like that..." He tightened the grip of his bag, looking away.
"Sorry, sorry. Hehe, you're were so focused on the theme that i couldn't help but tease you, my sweet Makoto- she said giggling again. She like it to do it often, perhaps it was very different to the constant she already do to Junpei, It didn't save him from taking him off guard.
After shaking his head, letting go of that joke, Makoto took her by the hand, taking her off guard "alright, we already here, let's prepare everything" he said smiling before leading her through the meadow. Yukari got carried away, still blushing from the action, even if it wasn't the first time he did it, she was still dumbfounded on that side of her boyfriend.
Who would say that the boy who said he didn't care about anything would end up being that sweet?
In fact himself did not seem so sure of his own words, despite for something he will had overcome it and be more open than before. Although, Yukari did not remember since when, not even when they began to date, everything happened suddenly, so fast, as the days went by. It didn't bother her at all, but she was worried that he wouldn't tell her what happened to him, the least she want is Makoto to lock himself back again, as she had done on several occasions after barely sight of progression.
A few steps later, they both stopped in a perfect spot, "Theres a good sight of the area here" He extended his arm pointing the rest of the area "I never saw a place like this in Tatsumi Port Island, is a fresh exchange, don't you think?" He turned jis gaze to Yukari, who was still looking at the place in silence.
"..."
"Yukari, Is something matter?"
"Oh no, sorry! I-I was distracted..." She commented embarrassed, looking to the left with her auburn pupils, somewhat disoriented "What were you sa-saying?" She didn't notice how her voice were trembling.
Makoto raised an eyebrow confused "Well, this opportunity is unique, we don't have a view like this inside the island" He stopped when he saw Yukari's expression, worried, he brought his face a little closer to hers with his arms crossed, "what are you thinking?"
Blushing, she was startled to notice that she had her guard down "Ah?! Well... it's just...- She bit her lower lip looking for the words. God, since when does he know how to take me off guard?
"Yu-Ka-Ri tell me" he spelled to annoy her, still worried about whatever was in his girlfriend's head. Her brown-orange hair remained the same as a year ago, slightly long. It was clearly more arranged for this appointment.
She took the long strand of the right side of her hair, fiddling it nervously while thinking what to answer. "Makoto... why you picked me?- she murmured, clenching her lips, seeing the flowers around them, so colorful and significant, they contrasted to how she felt inside, confused.
The boy waited for her to continue, closing his blue eyes.
"You know many girls, all of them very pretty and attentive to you" she smiled sadly, "I usually see you very lively next to Fuuka, or even Mitsuru-senpai ... she is even more beautiful" she looked back at his face, the wind was moving his huge lock, exposing his right eye "tell me, why me? Im nothing spe... huh?"
She fell silent when she felt a hand on her cheek. Makoto smiled at her, caressing her subtly, and directly causing a tear to escape from that eye.
"Well, I wouldn't know where to start but ... it's simpler than you think Yukari" he shrugged, placing his other hand on her shoulder, "You are special to me, you know. I will not get tired of saying it... You helped me to move forward, whether directly or not. You are the only one who came to understand how I was feeling, and .." he lost his words, there were things he couldn't say, he hated having to keep them right now "you helped me to get out of my own darkness..." his hands started trembling "You were there, accompanying me, thanks to you, i gst back to myself... i left apart that other personality..."
"Makoto...- Yukari was surprised to see his eyes forming tears, a blush covered her faces. An enormous emotion dominated her chest, him, he really was just open up to her. She didn't know why she felt so much nostalgia and sadness as she thought, it was as if she had really spent even more time with him than she could remember, "I... Makoto..." She smiled tremblingly, unaware of what was happening to her.
"For nothing in the world would I decide to forget you"
Without holding on, the couple hugged tightly, as if the other were nowhere to fade away to never return. They did not want to separate, not after having met, made so many memories, and above all, they did not want to return to the solitude for which both suffered for so many years.
Not for nothing, their hearts complemented each other ...

"Im sorry..."
"Don't worry about it" he replied stroking her hair. She was lying on his shoulder, while he was around her with his arm "you know you can let it out, i'm going to be here to calm you..."
"You are?" Yukari looked sideways at him, having her head stuck to his cheek. She took one of the folds of his shirt and squeezed it with some force, "Are you really never going away to never come back? you promise?"
Makoto was surprised, it was obvious what she was referring to. Of course, that was what he had in mind, if he could, he would never break that promise "Yes, I will always be by your side..." an idea arose in his mind "But with one condition..." He smiled proudly.
"Oh which one? Do not be so mean.." she knew that he only was playing with her, but still, it didn't seem like the moment.
"If you in exchange..." He gently pressed his forehead to hers, on her right side "You never stop loving me, understand?" he whispered with some regret in his voice, also transmitting what he lived.
Yukari smiled, circling the young man in her arms, hiding her face in his neck, unleashing all the pressure she felt. The two falling on the grass and petals, happy being next to each other. They had made a silent promise, to always be side by side helping each other move forward ...
Nothing could separate them, either in the calmest of days surrounded by happiness, or the most unfortunate of sadness fate ...
They're going to be together...
