~3 years ago~

"I'm getting married, Kaji," Hino smiled genuinely at me, blushing slightly.

Although it wasn't much of a surprise, I had noticed the beautiful diamond ring Tsukimori had bought for her. It looked really expensive and it fit Hino well, the ring being simple yet elegant. It truly described the kind of person Hino was.

Hino and I were at a cafe near the hospital I worked in. After months of thinking over what career I was going to take, I decided to just stick with studying medicine and follow my grandfather's steps. But I never let go of music, it was still a big part of me as it always has been from the start. And just awhile ago, Hino visited my office and invited me to have some coffee over at my favorite cafe. She told me she had good news and she wanted me to be the very first one to know.

"Wow," My eyes widened, a smile twitching on my lips. "I'm so happy for you Hino. That's really great, great news."

"Yeah." Hino blushed. Ah, how I missed that blush. "Len proposed to me on my birthday last week, on the Ferris Wheel in Minato Mirai."

'Really? Tsukimori? Wow, I never knew him to be a romantic guy.' "That's...that's very sweet of him. Hino, I'm really happy for you." I reached out my hand across the table to hold hers, I squeezed her tiny hand gently to tell her I really was.

Even if my heart ached a little.

Hino smiled again, her eyes tearing up. "I thought this was really going to be hard to tell you... knowing that - "

"Ssssh," I patted her hand. Now I felt really guilty, Hino still thought about me. Sure I wasn't completely over her, over us, but I know that she was better off with Tsukimori. They deserved each other. "I'm completely fine, Hino. I'm... I may not - no - I now know that I can never have you to myself and I've known that since we left Venice. Hino, you must know, you don't have to feel guilty over telling me."

"But - "

"Shhh, no. Hino, I am your friend. Nothing more, nothing less. And I really am happy to be the first one to know about this, honored even." I winked at her, cheering her up and she giggled softly. As I saw a tear slide down her cheek, I would've offered to wipe it away myself but I let her wipe it with her handkerchief. I let go of her hand, knowing that if I hadn't, I wouldn't be able to let go anymore.

Hino took a deep breath and sipped her coffee, "May I ask you something?"

"Anything." I grinned.

Hino flashed a small smile, "Would you like to be... the best man? Tsukimori suggested it actually and I couldn't have agreed more. That is if you want to be, I understand if you don't."

"Yes."

Hino blinked, "Huh?"

I chuckled at her confused face, "I mean, I'll take it. I'll be your best man." I winked a second time and Hino smiled widely.

"Thank you, Kaji! Thank you so much! This means everything to me." She laughed softly and I couldn't help but chuckle. I took one last sip of my coffee and finished the remains of it before standing up from my seat.

"Well then, I must get going. My break's about to finish and I've got another patient to take care of."

Hino nodded, standing up as well and tucked in a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I see, you're a doctor already right?"

I chuckled, "That's right."

"Alrighty then, doc. See you next time?"

"You bet." And I heard her cellphone ring.

Hino flipped it open and replied to the message, "I have to go now, good bye and good luck Kaji-kun."

"Bye." I took a big step forward and wrapped an arm around her waist to pull her to me, hugging her. I didn't care if she would protest, this may be the last time I could hug her this way...

But when I felt her wrap her arms around me in a friendly hug, I felt better. I pulled away and smiled, ruffling her hair a bit.

Before I entered the hospital, I watched Hino as she met up with Tsukimori at the front of the cafe. Tsukimori got off his car and smiled widely as he saw Hino, hugging her. Hino stood on her toes to give him a kiss on the cheek and they got inside the car and drove away.

I wonder if there ever will be a day when I, too, will be able to do find the right girl for me.

"Kaji-kun, there's someone who wants to see you."

One of the nurses spoke up as they entered my office and I nodded for her to let the visitor in. A very unexpected guest came in with a familiar smirk that I've seen around a year ago.

"Hello there, Kaji-kun. It's a pleasure to see you again." Matsuka-chan entered with her hands on her hips and although she looked much more grown up than a year ago, her green eyes still held that independence of hers. Her short hair had grown up to her shoulders and looked more layered and she had grown a few inches - maybe a little taller than Hino - but certainly not taller than me.

I stood up from my seat and nodded towards her, offering my hand. "This is a surprise, Matsuka-chan."

She shook my hand and smiled warmly, "I just passed by to visit a friend of mine who happened to be confined in this hospital due to his carelessness and I heard that you were his doctor."

"Ah, so you do remember me." I grinned.

"Of course, how could I not remember my apprentice back in Venice? The rebellious one if I may add."

"I don't recall being rebellious at all."

"Hmm, sneaking out during rehearsals? I'm sure it was because of a girl...?"

"Was."

"Oh," she blinked, apparently realizing something. "I didn't mean to pry."

"No harm was done." I waved my hand to assure her and offered her a seat. "Is there anything else you'd want to know about me?"

"Is that what you thought I came here for? To get updated about you?" She raised her eyebrows and smirked again.

I raised an eyebrow, lost. "Uh, why did you come here then?"

Matsuka laughed, "Ahahaha, I was just kidding around Kaji." She laughed some more and I rolled my eyes, same ol' Matsuka. "Well since I'm going to be staying in Japan for quite some time before I go back to my tour - "

"You really pursued your career as a musician, huh?"

"Of course, it's where I belong. Anyways, I'd want to some company while I stay here... would you mind?"

I chuckled, "Well, I guess I'm left with no choice am I? Sure, does dinner sound like a good idea for you?'

"It's a date." She winked and I was a little taken back but I liked the way she was clever. She certainly is different.

"Seven o'clock? I'll pick you up."

She got a piece of paper from my desk and a pen and wrote down her address and cellphone number. She smiled as she slid the paper closer to me and returned the pen, "I'll be waiting. Oh and Kaji,"

"Yeah?"

"Call me Nami, okay?" She smiled widely, cute dimples appearing on her cheeks. "It was nice seeing you again."

"I'll be at your place at exactly seven. See you - Nami."

"Bye Aoi." and she shut the door behind her, leaving me utterly speechless and confused by the sudden increase in my heartbeat.

It wasn't long until we started dating and I couldn't get enough of Matsuka Nami. Weeks and weeks of hanging out in the cafe near the hospital became nights spent just by looking up in the stars in the park. I confessed to her on the second week that she stayed in Japan and she was happy to return the feelings I felt for her. Even though the week after, she would be leaving for Europe once again to continue her tour.

But amidst the distance, our relationship stayed intact. We talked for several hours over the phone or over Skype in the internet. I just couldn't get enough of her and I missed her terribly. Seeing her through her webcam and hearing her voice over the phone was different when she's by my side physically.

And now, I was at the airport waiting for her to arrive. I brought flowers and dressed up real nice, I was just too excited. I have waited long enough to feel her soft jet black hair, caress her flushed cheeks and to kiss her unbelievably warm lips.

"Aoi!" She called out to me, waving her hand up in the air while she dragged her luggage with her other hand.

My eyes widened and I ran to her. As soon as I caught her in my arms, I crushed her in a tight bear hug. "Nami..." I whispered her name on her ear and kissed her cheek. "You're here."

She held my face between her hands and giggled, "Of course I am, silly. Hey, I missed you too." And she stood on her toes to kiss me fully on the lips, wrapping her arms around my neck.

On the day of the wedding of Hino and Tsukimori, I brought Nami as my date and she was happy to meet Hino again. They got along just fine.

Hino, looking beautiful in her wedding dress, congratulated me when I told her I was together with Nami. She giggled and nudged me with her elbow jokingly, "See, I told you you'd find someone better than me for you." I protested, saying that I shouldn't compare her to anyone even if it was Hino. But her reply struck me the most, "Kaji, I wouldn't get hurt if you told me Nami's the best woman in the world because she's the only woman who you would see in your own eyes. I get that especially with Tsukimori and the way he sees me, that's how love is. The one who's made for you is the only one who you would pay attention to and the rest is just a blur. It's no about comparing at all but it's about who you choose to be with the most. So go on with Matsuka-chan and tell her you love her."

"Hino-chan..."

"I'll be waiting for your wedding next!" She giggled and pushed me off, "Go!"

"Alright, alright." I chuckled as I watched her go to Tsukimori and dance on the dance floor as newlyweds. I sighed and walked towards Nami who stayed on her seat, watching other couples as they began to dance. Once she saw me, she blushed.

Nami looked absolutely amazing in her dress and her hair was rolled up in a cute bun. I took her hand and kissed it, "Nami, may I have this dance?"

She giggled, "Absolutely."

We walked on the dance floor and we wrapped our arms around each other, swaying to the beat of the music. I leaned my head on her soft hair and smelled the scent of her strawberry-scented shampoo. "I love you, Nami."

Nami pulled away and asked, "Do you mean that?"

"Of course I do. I couldn't have said it in any other way, I mean it all from the bottom of my heart. I love you so much, Matsuka Nami."

"So much that you'd... we'd also end up like this?" She blushed as she meant the wedding. She asked if I were to marry her.

As serious as she was, I couldn't help but chuckle. She punched my arm, "It's not funny."

"I'm sorry, you're just too cute when you're flustered."

"Well?"

I bit my lip and adjusted myself around her, "What do you think my answer will be?"

Nami frowned, "Don't play with me, Aoi. I'm really serious, I love you too and I can't... I can't bear myself to go over the same heartbreak I had years ago. I don't want to suffer the same fate with you. When I'm with you, I feel complete. Like nothing's going to go wrong and everything's okay. You complete me, Aoi. I don't ever want to be separated with you again."

I brushed her cheek with the back of my hand gently, as if she was as fragile as a flower. "Who said we're separating again?"

"My tours... they're going to begin soon and I'm not sure how long my break's going to be here in Japan."

I shook my head, "Nothing's going to separate us, Nami. I promise that. I'll support you all the way even if that means I'll have to quit my job."

"What?" Her eyes widened.

"I'm a musician as well, Nami. You know that and I could always be with you on your tours, am I right? I'll be your personal assistant, your secretary or accompanist on the piano during your concerts. We'll figure something out."

"You'd do that?"

"Why not?"

A tear escaped her eye and I wiped it away with my lips, Nami sighed in relief. "You love me too much."

I kissed her forehead, "It's not a bad thing, right?"

She giggled and hugged me tighter, "I love you too and I can't wait to spend my entire life with you."

"So can I. We might as well be engaged right?"

She laughed softly, her body shaking against mine. "The ring would come later."

"I could get the ring now if you want."

"You have it?"

"I could buy it now."

"No!"

"No? Why not?"

"I - I don't want it to be so soon. Let's just... cherish these moments first as a normal couple. The engagement can come later."

I chuckled and brushed her hair away from her face, "As long as we know who we're going to be with."

"Of course. I've already decided."

"I wonder, who must be that lucky guy you love so much?" I teased her with a smirk and her green eyes glimmered with mischief.

"I'll show you." She stood up on her toes and gave me a long, deep kiss. I kissed her back with the same urgency, my arms tightening around her waist as I brought her closer to me.

"I think I know." I murmured between kisses.

"Oh, do you?"

"Yes, I do."

After what seemed like forever, we pulled away and the sky seemed darker as time tickled by. "It's late, I should take you home."

"Take me with you." Nami said as she stared into my eyes. I kissed her before slowly untangling myself from her. We bid goodbye to Hino and Tsukimori and all our other friends before we got to the car.

"My place?" I asked Nami when I ignited the car to life. She smiled sweetly in return.

"I'm yours."
