11: gentle kiss
One thing she always loved about this Haruka was the way his aura brightened up even her now dark and clouded heart. His smile was one that broke through those clouds and gave her a ray of hope. In all of this suffering, all of this tragedy, there was a good ending. He was living proof of it.
All she had to do was find it.
She was grateful that she found him, her last thread of hope to cling and hold onto was right in front of her and she grabbed it the second she could.
"...Haruka, I know you feel bad about everything that happened....
Perhaps worse things are yet to come but...
...You coming here and showing me that there was a good end means the world to me."
Leaning over, she reached up and gently pressed her lips against his. Even before all of this, the girl wasn't good at expressing how thankful she was. This was the only thing that came to mind...Even if it was a bit embarrassing.
Carefully, she parted her lips from his and smiled lightly for the first time in a long time.
"...T-Thank you."
