Hearing Aoyama scream, Sora, who was on the deck of the departing vessel, snapped her neck around to the bay, and saw him.
"AOOOO!!!" She screamed back, tears leaking out of her eyes.
"I LOVE YOU, DON'T FORGET ME!!!"
"There was a girl that young on the forces?" Someone whispered.
"That's horrible."
"She's still so small."
Aoyama paid no mind to the people around him.
"Sora! You promised you'd marry me when we were small didn't you?! Come back!" his voice cracked.
"I'm sorry Ao!" She cried, "I'm sorry!"
Aoyama heart dropped to his feet, his limbs were frozen and his eyes were hot. The painful feeling continued to stab his chest, and his lungs felt like they were being ripped apart.
"Sora!" He screamed again, clutching the clothing covering his heart that hurt so much. "SORA!"
Saito was departing the next day, and was standing on the dock next to Aoyama. He grabbed Aoyama's shoulder gently, trying to comfort the boy.
Sou watched curiously as Kohaku pressed a finger to his ear(?)
"What are you doing?"
Kohaku ignored him, and whispered, "Alright, go, now." perhaps it was to himself, Sou wasn't sure. Kohaku continued, "Are the negotiations going well?"
"Haku?"
"Three,"
Sora suddenly disappeared from the side of the deck.
"Two,"
Distant yells were heard from the boat.
"One,"
Sora was... floating?
"Go!"
Sora was thrown off the boat towards the dock.
"YEET!" Someone in the crowd yelled.
"Catch her, pretty boy!" one of the soldiers screamed.
Lifting his arms, he caught Sora's slim frame, her body landing perfectly into his hands.
He stared at her, admiring her amber-colored eyes, her pink lips, and her long, lilac-tinted hair. And before Sora could process what was going on, Aoyama's lips were pressed against hers, his hand buried in her hair.
Needless to say, the crowd cheered, some crying, and some laughing happily.
The soldiers gave a thumbs up to Aoyama, "You'd better take good care of her!"
"I will!" he screamed back.
Looking back at Sora, he smiled at her pink-dusted cheeks, and gently let her down onto the ground and hugged her tight.
"You scared me, Sora." he whispered into her ear.
"I'm sorry, I should have told you."
Aoyama smiled.
"We're going home."
Aoyama, still carrying Sora, began to shove his way through the crowd, swiftly dodging bodies and coming out untouched. People screamed words of encouragement and congratulations at them as they walked away to get a taxi.
Sou nudged Kohaku.
"You planned this from the start, didn't you?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about~"
"You lying rat. Why didn't you prevent it if you knew it was going to happen from the start?! We would have saved a lot of time and effort."
"I just wanted to play with my new toys!" Kohaku cheered, "It was pretty amusing watching you bawl your eyes out in from of Sora~"
Sou froze for a few moments, processing the information.
"Wait- you asshole! You were there?!" he yelled.
"Hmm~" Kohaku grinned deviously. "Who knows?"
"You're a horrible excuse of a human being."
"Bold of you to assume I'm human." Kohaku smiled, mischief swirling in his green irises.
"Oh whoops. I forgot."
Kohaku laughed, then threw him a small obeject. "Catch."
Sou swiftly caught what Kohaku threw with one hand.
"What's this?" Sou examined the object carefully. "... a recording?"
"Yeah, that right there, that's what you can use to sack the commander."
Kohaku tapped the play button.
There was some static before a voice began to speak."That BITCH. Taking away all the fame and getting more pay than me! I'll kill her! I'll kill her!"
"Excuse me but what the f*ck?!"
"Watch your language." Kohaku snapped. "That's the commander. You can go ahead and report him if you'd like. Or you can give it to Sora."
"Why don't you do it?"
"Because this world is boring. I've caused wars, finished toying with the commander and Aoyama and Sora's relationship is going back to normal.The most I can do is cretae some drama and strain relationships, but that's no fun at all."
"You're scum. You know that?"
"You all still love me though~"
"Unfortunately."
"Well, I think I'll leave. There's no point staying if I can't have fun."
"Where to this time?"
"Hmm~" Kohaku thought for a while. "Maybe to Musutafu, in the another reality, I think I remember everyone having supernatural powers there. If I recall, they're called quirks."
"Ohoh? Sounds interesting."
"Are you coming with me again?"
"Of course! When have I not gone with you? Who's gonna keep you in check if I'm not there?"
"We both know that you're not enough to keep me in check."
The two laughed together.
They sat on the edge of the harbour. Kohaku making small splashes in the water with his feet.
"By the way," Kohaku began. "I heard you've benn using "he" to refer to me."
"Yeah, well, I can't exactly call you "it" can I? That'd sound super weird."
"Well, "he" is a funny way to refer to someone can be both." he chuckled.
Sou laughed with him.
The two got up, and began to slowly walk around the town near the harbour. They bought food and played in the arcade.
The sun had begun to set by the time they were done.
"It's time to go!" Kohaku yelled. "Let's go out with a bang!"
Sou laughed, tucking his hands in his pockets as he stood on the edge of the building with Kohaku.
"Why do we do this anyway? We could just leave normally."
"Of course, it's to scare people!"
"You're a disgrace to dragon kind."
Kohaku laughed. "I'm the strongest one! Don't criticise me you peasant."
Sou playfully shoved him down, before throwing himself off and halfway down the building, they disappeared.
(Which scared a whole ton of people btw)

Sora and Aoyama got home at sunset, they flopped onto the bed (after showering because Aoyama insisted) and fell straight asleep.
