August 23rd: Lake View

At lunch time, the three of us we're at raimon having some lunch, Hiroyuki invited me over with Torahiko. They wanted to disgust some things that what happened yesterday. It wasn't pretty.

"So, we just pretend nothing happened yesterday?" I said to Tora and Hiro.

"Y-Yes, so please let's not talk about it." Hiro said.

"Well, it least I didn't tell no one." I said, the two sighted in relief. But I'm not done. "Except to Toshi-san, because I wanted to replace the bed sheets." The two embarrassedly groaned.

"Relax, Torahiko. He's not gonna tell your uncles about it." Tora and Hiro relaxes.

Last night. I accidentally caught these two in my bed. No one got into trouble, but I kinda ruined their night. But the reason it happened was because they were doing it in my room that I'm renting out. Somehow, Torahiko forgot where I was staying. Toshi-san thought that they also ruined my night with Kouya, because Toshi left that little gift in my room. However, I told him that I didn't brought him over. But anyways, I did appreciate for what he did. Except that frisky object.

We dropped the conversation and changed a different subject after we surpassed this. Hiroyuki and Torahiko are kind of eager to hear something from me.

"So... how was last light? Did you have fun?" Hiro asked. I started to blush, because of last night, was the most romantic night I've ever had.

"Yeah..." I smiled and look away and rub the back of my head. "Last night was great."

"Did something happened? Where you and Kouya went? I saw you two leaving from us during the fireworks." Hiro said.

"Alright, alright... I was going to admit it anyways..." I said and paused and then continued. "Kouya... he, he... he... um... kissed me... I'm... I'm in love." I chuckled.

"Really?" The two cried. I nodded.

"Like... an actual kiss? On the lips?" Hiro continued.

I keep smiling. "Yes, he kissed me!" I cried. "What more do you want?"

"Nothing, Kelly." Tora said. "Now that we confirm it. Let me tell you something."

"What is it?" I was puzzled.

"Remember that fight I have the other day?"

"The upside down sandwich fight? You and Kouya were fighting stupid."

"Well, Kouya covered it up." Tora declared.

"Huh?" I'm confused.

"This is my point of view." Tora said as we hear his flashback. "I was walking by myself while walking through the bridge, then I saw you and Kouya at the river side, you two were like having a nice conversation and bonding well."

"You were there? You were peeping on us?" I surprisingly said.

"I didn't mean to, but I was curious. No one have ever hang out that much with Kouya, other than Shun-kun and Hiroyuki."

"Okay... so... what happened next?" I asked. "What this has to do with it?"

"The next day came before we went to the karaoke night. When I bumped into Kouya, I asked him curiously if you two were having a bond and I even told him about you and him at the river. He flustered and angrily denied everything what I said. Then he called me names and that's when it got ugly."

"That's what the fighting was about?" I said.

"Yeah, pretty much." He grins nervously and rubs the back of his neck.

"Tora, it is best not to ask someone who have feelings for someone." Hiroyuki said. "I remember how Torahiko behaved when he was near me." He smiles.

"Okay Hiroyuki, I've learned my lesson, that's enough..." Tora said.

"Every time someone brought it up, you always denied it." Hiro said.

"How ironic." I laughed.

"Come on, those were heavy feelings back there!" Tora protested.

So Kouya have feelings for me for a quite long time, huh. I don't want to bother ask this in front of him. After seeing his angry face during that lame fight with Torahiko. I decided best not to talk about stuffs that could piss him off. Well... I did teased him a little, but not too far. He's always been so nice to me since I got here.

...

Back at the inn, I relax and enjoy my day. I couldn't stop thinking about Kouya and our first kiss. I remember every bit of detail. I can still feel those warm lips from last night. Haah... There's nothing for me to do today, everyone are busy, especially Kouya, he's still working at the music store.

...I'm so bore... hmm... I wonder...

I pick up the phone on the nightstand and dial the same phone number. Let's see who's gonna answer...

"Sullivan's residence, who's speaking?" Is the eldest female voice I know.

"Hi, Samantha, is Kelly?"

"Kelly, it's been quite a while since you called us. How's everything? Did you enjoyed the Bon Festival yesterday?" She said.

"Yeah, I really enjoyed it." I simply said.

"You sound pretty happy." She said.

"You know I'm always in spirits." I said. "How about you and the others?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, I didn't go, neither Henry nor Ashton. But Ashley and Sylvia did went out with some friends. Ashley was just trying to cheer Sylvia up, but she's still sharp on Henry. She's still anxious to pick you up. I'm still waiting for Henry to start this emergency trip." Before I could say anything she continues. "Oh! Kelly, I'm glad you called. You father called me yesterday, he talked about your college issue and he's considering you to study here in Japan."

"Dad is going 'plan B'?"

"Yes, he wants you to study in Tokyo. I actually started working on it. For now on, after we pick you up, you're going to stay here with us, there's no need to go back home."

"Oh, Dad told you that I should stay, huh..."

"Yes, but... isn't this too... you know... hard for you? You're staying away from your home?" She said.

"Yeah..." sighed. "I kinda first thought that I was going to Toronto, but I think I know why Dad chose Japan. He got a close relations with this country. That moment when Dad told me about 'plan B', I felt that I was gonna miss Seattle, but... I'm always ready for a new chapter in my life. I guess the time has come. All those universities from the US are a complete loss without me." I said.

I hear Samantha laughing. "Well, I see you can handle yourself. We'll continue your college degree after we pick you up, alright? And also on the bright side, you're going the same university that Ashley's going."

"That sounds great."

After talking with Auntie Samantha for a while longer and also explaining the state of the statue that the Midoriya Group are working on. It's now finished. The door knocks, must be Toshi as always. "I'll call you later, bye." I hanged up the phone, and face the door. "Come in!" I shouted.

Toshi-san again walks to my room and face me. He looks now happy since the last time I saw him with a sad face from the previous day. "Kelly, uhm, Kouya just called and he just got out from work and he wants to spend time with you this afternoon." He said.

"That's nice, at what time?"

"He will come in an hour, I'll tell you when." He said and closed the door.

Wow, my dad is sending me to stay here in Japan. This must be a coincidence, or fate! After graduating from high school, there's been some problems happening on several colleges in the US. To put it short. None of the universities hadn't accepted me. Is not that I have a bad reputation or bad grades, I'm a smart average student. The "plan A" was to find a college in my home country. Dad hoped that I should study the same university that he studied from, but failed. But now that Dad decided to go with "plan B" is to find a college outside from my home country. I know that this is too ambitious, but it just happened. I know that I'm gonna miss my hometown, but I also have family here. Things can be balance, I can visit them, and they can visit me and also... I can visit someone I have my eyes on.

...

An hour later at the lobby, Kouya came over to see me. He brought his guitar case. He looks in a nice mood.

"Good afternoon, Kouya. How was your day?" I said with a smile.

"Nah, today was like usual as always." Kouya said. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, but... where are we going?" I asked.

"He's going to take you to the lake to have a nice picnic together." Toshi came by and gives me a picnic basket. "Have fun." He smiles and waves and walks away. I check the basket and look for anything weird...

"What are you looking?" Kouya asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just to be sure that there's everything we need." No condoms, good.

...

A nice walking through the village until we reach the lake, is a very peaceful place to be. The water is so clear that I can see our reflection and the trees and the sky. So relaxing. I placed the picnic mat on the ground. The typical colors as usual, red and white. The two of us sit there and look what Toshi gave us in the basket.

"Let's see what we got here." I said. Looking through it again, there's a jar of peanut butter, honey, grape jam, strawberry jam and some other ingredients to make any kind of sandwich. "I guess we're having sandwiches." I said.

"That sounds good to me." Kouya said.

Together we make our own sandwiches of any kind, adding with everything or making a smaller or a big combo what-so-ever duplex deluxe. We were enjoying our time together that I couldn't stop staring at Kouya and giving him a smile with a blush. Eating together outside with a great view of the mountains and the sun shining above us, while the water in the lake is flat as a mirror.

"Kelly?" Kouya spoke.

"Yes, Kouya?"

"I have a thought, and I think you have thought about it too." Kouya said with a concerned face.

"What is it?"

"How is this going to work? You and me." he said.

"Oh, our relationship..." Kouya nods. "I have thought about it, the moment when I started to have feelings for you."

"You live in America and I live here in Japan. We live so far away from each other."

"Yeah, I know..." I sighed. "But... there's something I want to tell you."

"What's it?"

"Well... if I say it. Will you believe it? It's the only thing I have for support." I said.

"Alright."

I said and explained to Kouya about my college problems back home and my Dad is considering of putting me here to study here in Japan. Kouya listened carefully and haven't said anything while I keep talking.

"So... what do you think, Kouya? I... don't have to come back home." I said, Kouya is thinking.

"What about your family and friends?" he said.

"They'll understand, and I can visit them on holidays and..." My voice softens. "I want to stay in touch with you, Kouya."

"Kelly..."

"I want this opportunity... I really want to see you." My voice is breaking. "Kouya...? Are you... skeptic about this? Please say something."

"No, is not like that. I think this is great for you." He said as he puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Would you... support me?" I said.

"Yeah, no matter what happens or wherever we are..." Kouya smiles and reach out his dog tag necklace and shows it to me. "'We are forever with'." I remember that slogan from that day. I really understand what it really meant. I smiled and look at him when a tear from my eyes leaked out.

"Kouya, I love you." I said as Kouya picks up the tear with his index finger from my cheek. He approached and embraces me closer and caress my cheek with his right palm.

Kouya softly replies. "Kelly, you're the most optimistic and strongest person I have ever met... I love you too." We share a kiss together. This time it tasted differently. Kouya's lips tasted like grape jelly with peanut butter. Mmm, a hint of mint.

After having this little discussion, we continue on with our picnic. Kouya opened his guitar case but once I take a look...

"That's different. Looks antique." I said and then it reminded me about the samurai sword in my suitcase. It was an old fashion guitar. I was impressed by the details it had. "It's beautiful." I said.

"Thanks, it was a gift from my father after my debut." Kouya said.

"That was nice of him." I replied. "Are you going to play it for me?"

"Of course." He said and sits comfortably and he holds the instrument with his hands. A tranquil sound rings from the instrument. Then Kouya sings. It feels so warming... I wonder... huh, could this be... is the solo that Kouya sang the other day. It sounds better with this guitar. Kouya plays his string instrument and sings with passion just as he finishes, I clapped.

"That song I wrote it sometimes before I met you." Kouya said. "When you were a little depressed, I thought, this song could cheer you up." Kouya revealed.

"Aw, Kouya." I happily cried.

"Whoa!" Kouya cried when I hugged him and he leans back, I'm now on top of him. "Hey, easy." He said.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." I chuckled.

We stared at each other eyes until we kiss sweetly, then Kouya holds me and changes position, he's now lying on top of me. I can't look away those gorgeous narrowed eyes of his. He's really handsome. Kouya gently kiss me and it was getting warmer than ever. I really enjoy making out with him.

The red sun sets behind the mountain as Kouya cuddles me behind with his strong arms wrapping around my torso as we sit and watch the breathtaking sight, and I really enjoy seeing this with the person I love.

"No matter where we are. We always have a great sunset view." I said.

"Uhm, Kelly?" Kouya spokes.

"Yeah?"

"Tomorrow tonight, my bandmates and I are gonna perform in a nightclub. We could also hang out there." Kouya announced.

"Is that a date?" I asked while chuckling.

"Well, if you say so, but we're not going by ourselves." He said.

"That's okay, it will be fun hanging out with your friends." I said. "So, this nightclub, where is it located? In Kazenari?"

"Yeah, I'll take you with me on the motorbike. I know where it is."

"Cool, that'd be okay."

"And after that, we could spend some time alone together." Kouya whispers behind my shoulder. That really boiled my face. I'll just simply keep enjoying our alone time watching the sunset instead.

The sun slowly hides behind the mountains when I slowly close my eyes and rest on Kouya's shoulders while he continues playing his antique guitar.
