This is it! The final chapter!

LAST CHANCE

Kyoya woke up with slightly black bags under his eyes. He didn't or should I say couldn't sleep well last night. The reason? Oh we all know that.

It was a weekend which means there are no classes. He isn't usually happy during weekends because that means he doesn't have a reason to go to Nami Middle but this was the first time that he wanted to stay away from his school. More and more problems just keep on coming when he's there. He thought that maybe he could get away from it all by just staying at home and enjoying some indoor things or something. Well that was the plan at least. Sadly, he's not used to staying at home. It's not really a surprise that he'd spent most of his time at Nami Middle and only goes to his house to sleep.

Kyoya decided to go for a walk. He walked from his house to the supermarket next to it but was irritated by the noise and the large crowd. That is so not what he needed right now so he took a different route and walked towards an empty street leading to a place where he saw beautiful cherry blossom trees. When Kyoya reached that place, he stopped to look at the view. He doesn't like cherry blossom trees but this was the only place that gave him peace and quiet so he didn't care anymore. His problems were slowly fading on him until he saw a familiar place next to the beautiful scenery. Oh great. Just what he needed. It turned out that he knew that place. It was a very memorable place in fact. He was surprised that he didn't notice it earlier. He wished to leave but his feet aren't obeying. He stood there in front of the place. He can't believe that his memories of that place had happened more than a year ago. That memory when a certain someone whom Kyoya doesn't like to mention asked him to make a promise to stay by his side and gave him an unforgettable experience [see chap 4]. He can't forget how cool the wind was, how bright the sky was…and how gentle the voice he heard was but above all, it was the soft lips that made him never forget. Wait. What?

'What the hell am I thinking? How could I be all happy thinking about him when I should be mad at him? I don't understand. What's happening to me?'

But he couldn't help but think of him. He couldn't help but remember everything he knew about him

'…you know what makes me think that this is a great view?...it's because I'm watching it with you…'

'Kyoya, I know that it's going to be hard. Probably because I'm always not around because I have the Cavallone family to lead and you'll be busy with your own responsibilities but promise me…that you'll stay with me forever'

'I'm serious. You know that I love you Kyoya, so much that I would never want anyone to have you but me. I just want to assure that even though there are times that I'm not with you, I would still know that you are mine forever and that'll put me at ease.'

'Kyoya…a-are you alright?'

'IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!'

"STOP IT!" Kyoya snapped. 'I won't make a fool of myself anymore. I may have loved him but that was before. I don't hold feelings for him anymore.' Kyoya said like he was talking to someone and desperately convincing that someone that he doesn't love Dino anymore. He felt all jumbled up. If before, his mixed emotions were just like a messy room, now, it felt like it was a messy jungle. He felt like a bamboo getting hit by a strong wind. He also felt like thunder zapped him. Like a black hole sucking him into darkness and many more feelings. But all the feelings he felt all lead to one feeling. He felt hurt. Really hurt. He's not supposed to feel this way yet he can't help it. He doesn't want to be affected but he is. So what does this mean?

In the middle of his dilemma, he suddenly heard his phone rang. For once, he got startled by his Nami Middle Anthem ringtone. He looked at the screen. 'Romario?'

He was debating with himself whether to answer the call or not but in the end, he chose to answer it.

"Yes what is it?"

"Kyoya-sama, is Dino-sama with you?"

Kyoya instantly got annoyed. What part of "angry at him" doesn't he get? How and why would he be with the most annoying person to him.

"Of course not? Why would I be with him?"

"Oh I'm sorry. I just thought that maybe you're the person Dino-sama wanted to go to before he leaves."

"Before he leaves?"

"Yes. You see, today's his flight back to Italy"

Kyoya felt the same thing he felt when he heard about the news of Dino going back. Only this time, it was more intense. He felt his chest ache once again.

"Kyoya-sama are you still there? Kyoya-sama?"

"…Yes."

"Dino-sama said that he'll go somewhere before he goes to the airport and meet with us. But his flight will leave in just 2 hours but he's still isn't here. If you don't mind me asking, do you know where he could be?...Kyoya-sama? Hello?" the other end was silent then afterwards, there was only the sound of the busy tone.

The next thing Kyoya knew, he was running. He can't control himself. His body's just moving on its own. He's looking at every direction. Trying to search everywhere for him. He passed by every place to find him. He doesn't know why he's doing this. Does he just want to give him a piece of his mind or to stop him from leaving? But he knows one thing. He needs to see him. He badly and desperately needs to see him. He ran for a while now. He's losing time. One and half hour left. As he was running, he suddenly came into a stop. A thought ran through his mind.

'Could that place be it' he wondered but there was no time to think. He ran as fast as he can, starting to become breathless and tired. But he didn't care. All that's in his mind is the hope that he would see him there. He reached the place. He climbed that stairs as fast as he could even though he felt his feet getting heavier and heavier until he opened the door. The rooftop of Namimori Middle School was empty. He looked around but saw no one. Instead, he saw something located at the edge of the rooftop. It was small white paper and it was placed at the floor. When he came closer and picked it up, he noticed that it was a letter. Not only that, it had his name written at the back of it. He opened the envelope and flipped open the folded paper. He read quietly the letter which said:

Kyoya,

I'm sorry for everything I did. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you. I'm leaving so that you won't have to deal with me and so that I can't hurt you anymore. I understand if you forget everything that has happened and everything about me. Live a happy life and find someone who could love you better than me. Thank you for the happiness you gave me. I just wished that I could have done the same for you.. Take care, Kyoya. Goodbye.

I've always loved you.

Dino

His hands shook as he was reading the letter. His teeth gritted and after reading the said letter, he crumpled it and threw it forcefully out the rooftop. "Forget about everything"? What the hell? After all that's happened, he just wants him to forget it all? As if it was that easy!

His breathing became restless. His face covered with his bangs was drawn in anger. He can't control his feelings anymore. He screamed as loud as he could and afterwards, shouted all the things he felt.

"YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU EVEN WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS UNTIL I CAME HERE! WHAT THE HELL? SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE LIKE THIS? WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO TALK TO ME OR EVEN SAYING A WORD? WHO SAID THAT I WANTED YOU TO BE GONE IN MY LIFE? IF YOU WANTED ME TO HAPPY, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT. YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED BESIDE ME…SO PLEASE…JUST COME BACK!"

He tried to catch his breathe after that long, loud speech. He felt exhausted but he felt relieved, though it didn't last long. He's really passed his limit. He can't control his feelings anymore and he can't stop himself from letting it all out. This is by far the hardest and most challenging battle he's ever faced. Could he win this? He doesn't know anymore.

Then, footsteps. He suddenly heard footsteps, getting closer and closer. Who could it be? He wanted to know the other person in the rooftop who, in an unlucky turn of events, had maybe overheard all the embarrassing things he said. He was going to turn around to see who that person was but before he could, something happened.

The next thing he knew, long arms were wrapped around his body. Gently pulling him closer to a warm embrace.

"So does that mean that you still love me?" the stranger whispered into Kyoya's ear. In an instant, he felt like his worries and pain were blown away by the wind. All the stress and the problems, they disappeared as the stranger's embrace tightened. Tears began to flow from his eyes without warning. It's been a long time since he felt this…happy.

He turned and faced the stranger. Well he was no stranger anymore when Kyoya saw his face.

"So I was right, you were here."

"I still am." Dino said with a gentle smile

"I thought that you left already?"

"I was about to leave until I saw you running towards the school. I was going to go quietly and leave you with that letter but after hearing what you said just now…"

Dino went closer to Kyoya until there was almost no space between their faces.

"…how do you expect me to leave?"

Tears from Kyoya's face began flowing again. Dino swiftly brushed his thumb under Kyoya's eyes and slowly, he kissed Kyoya's lips. It's been so long since they've had a kiss that long. Their lips seemed like they missed each other and now that they've met once again, they felt like they never want to let go of each other.

After all that has happened, for Kyoya, they didn't matter to him anymore. Because he found what he was looking for. He found the last piece to complete that puzzle of his memories. The most important piece of all. And now that his past was found again, there's nothing more to do but to live the present. It won't be hard anymore because he knows now, that he will always be beside him and forever, he will be a part of his memories.

END

Thank you so so much for reading my fanfic. Thanks for those who reviewed and for those who favored and subscribed as well. i'd like to thank Shiroyama Gabi-chan, galux kitty, Zamszyk, HimeCharlie, xbleedinglotusx, Setsuna Alaude, ezzelin, and Kurea Cavallone. without you're reviews and support, I would never have wrote this story this far.

What do you think of the ending? Do you like it? Hate it? Do you want a sequel or an alternate ending maybe? If you do, please tell me, okay? But I think I'll only do an alternate ending or a sequel if 10 or more readers would say they want to have one. One more thing, I might put a little extra after this chapter—if I have the time though.

Thanks so much again. If you read and liked this story, then I hope you'll look forward to my future fanfics. See you guys again soon. I love you!
