Yuki watched from afar as the baseball team practiced on the field. Coach Kataoka had turned in his resignation and the rest of the third years were preparing for graduation. Yuki already had his mind made up on his future but everything felt bittersweet.
"So what now, Yuki-kun?"
Yuki turned towards Hana. He hadn't told her about his plans yet.
"University. I'll come back and visit, though. What about you?"
Hana nodded,
"I'm going to university, too. Entrance exams are a pain, though."
Yuki nodded. He couldn't believe his high school life was coming to an end; he felt like it was just starting. Looking at Hana, he wondered how things would have been if they had met during their first year of high school. Would things be the same as they were now? Or would they have broken up? Yuki shook his head; he wanted to focus on more positive things at the moment.
"Will you go with me?"
Hana met Yuki's gaze with a gentle smile.
"Yes."
Yuki took her hand and kissed her knuckles.
"Thank you, Hana-chan. I feel like I can conquer the world with you by my side."
Hana chuckled,
"Is that a proposal, Yuki-kun?"
Yuki shrugged,
"No...not yet, anyway. We still have time." Hana blushed at his words and Yuki grinned, leaning in to kiss her sweetly, "Let's go home. My parents want you over for dinner tonight."
Hana nodded and she let Yuki lead her as they held hands. Yuki glanced back at Seido, promising to never forget it and the memories of his youth, and then looked to Hana, smiling as he imagining his future.
The end!
