Kimi ni Todoke Fanfiction

A Second Christmas

Chapter 12

Epilogue

Sawako slowly opened her eyes and awoke from her sleep. She turned to see that she woke up a bit early this time. 'That's right, I have school today…' Sawako got up and went to her desk to look at her cell phone. She opened it up and looked at her mail again.

FROM: SHOTA KAZEHAYA

SUBJECT: walking to school

MESSAGE:

Hey. Let's walk to school together tmrw. I'll be waiting for you at the end of your street at 7:50. And don't try to say no! ;)

Sawako was so happy getting the text. She was able to walk to school with Shota now. Inside her mind, inner Sawako was dancing around in happiness. Sawako quickly put her uniform on and stared at herself in the mirror. 'I…look okay, right?' Sawako thought. She was starting to become overly conscious of herself, and how she looked. 'W-what am I doing? It's just school!' Sawako thought to herself. She went downstairs to eat her breakfast and quickly headed for the door, with her jacket and school bag.

Sawako began to notice that it was still snowing a bit that day, and it was a bit chilly. She ignored it and ran to the meeting spot. 'I hope I'm not late!' Sawako thought to herself. As she noticed the meeting spot she stopped in her tracks.

There she noticed Shota standing there looking away. He wore the scarf and hat that Sawako had created for him. Sawako could hear her heart beat go a bit faster and louder. 'He really is wearing the things I made. He doesn't think it's cursed, or embarrassing Thank goodness' Sawako smiled to herself, when Shota noticed her.

Shota took a moment to admire Sawako. Her smile really was beautiful and it brought warmth to him, even in this cold weather. He started to remember what had happened yesterday, and could feel his face go red. The soft feeling against his cheek, the faint breath Sawako left on him that smelled so sweet, her hand gripping his hand at the moment, he could remember all of that so vividly. 'Ack, if I keep thinking of this, she really may think of me as a pervert!' Shota thought.

"Ah! Sorry, did I make you wait!" Sawako's voice quickly brought Shota out of his thoughts. He stared at Sawako who gave an apologetic face and he quickly shook his face.

"No! Don't worry, I just came here. Besides, it's not even time yet!" Shota pointed out, and Sawako sighed in relief.

"That's good. I didn't want to make you wait in this weather." Sawako said truthfully. Shota smiled to her and held his hand out.

"Shall we go?" Shota stated happily. Sawako blinked in surprise, but smiled back and took his hand. The couple began to walk to school, hand in hand through the light snow that fell.

As Sawako and Shota were reaching near the school, Chizuru and Ayane had noticed them and called out to Sawako.

"Ara ara~ you're already acting so romantic in the morning? I wonder what happens at night? He he he." Ayane said while nudging Shota. He quickly blushed in surprise, but Sawako was too confused to understand.

"O-our cute Sawako spends so much time with Kazehaya! We need to spend more time together!" Chizuru said while crying. Ayane stared at Chizuru with annoyance. 'Oi oi, weren't we going to bother Kazehaya about his relationship with Sawako?'

Sawako also began to have tears. "I-I'm so sorry, Chizu-chan!" Chizuru noticed and quickly hugged Sawako, forcing her to let go of Shota's hand. They both hugged each other for a while. Shota pouted for a bit. 'Stealing Sawako like that…'

"Stealing Sawako like that… I bet that's what you're thinking, am I right?" Ayane quickly said his thought, and Shota quickly blushed in embarrassment.

"Oh shut up."

"Oh, seems you're not denying it!" Ayane said with a laugh. Shota opened his mouth, trying to make a comeback but couldn't. The group walked to school like that, with their usual chatting.

"Today is the last day of school. I hope you'll all behave yourself. Don't do anything reckless, okay?" Pin said to his class with a serious expression. However the serious expression quickly faded away, turning into the energetic face Pin always had. "Pft! As if! I don't really care what you kids do! It's not like you'll listen to me!" Pin laughed to himself, as the whole class sweat dropped comically. 'Why do we have such a weird teacher?' was what the whole class thought.

"Really, what is up with our school? If they wanted us to leave school for holidays, they should've made last Friday the last day of school. Geez, making us go to school for nothing." Ayane complained to her friends as they sat in the classroom. Due to the cold season, they did not dare go outside to eat lunch.

"Now now, Yano-chin! Isn't it fine? We get to spend more time together!" Chizuru said with a jolly grin. Sawako nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, Sawako was it scary yesterday?" Ayane asked.

"What was scary?" Sawako asked back in confusion.

"Oh yeah, Sawako had to walk home alone yesterday!" Chizuru said with surprise. "Were you okay?"

"Huh? Oh, yesterday Shota and I walked home together!" Sawako said happily. Ayane and Chizuru grinned to one another. 'He really does love her!'

"Well, did anything happen!" Ayane asked with anticipation. Chizuru stared at Sawako with anticipation in her eyes as well.

"Did anything happen? Well…" Sawako thought of it to herself, when she finally remembered what she did yesterday. 'I…I kissed him yesterday!' Sawako screamed to herself. 'Was that sudden of me? Rude?' Sawako's face was all red at this point, and she began shaking her head back and forth in confusion. Ayane and Chizuru looked on in confusion, deciding not to question her any further.

The day passed by, and Sawako still felt really embarrassed at what she had done. She kept looking at Shota in class, and would always blush furiously as she did. As the bell rang to indicate the end of class, Sawako sighed to herself. 'W-what do I do? I'm so nervous now around him!' Sawako thought to herself.

"Sawako. Do you have anything to do?" Sawako quickly looked up to see Shota smiling to her. As soon as she saw his smile, she remembered yesterday and how he smiled right before she did that. She quickly could feel the blood go to her face.

"Whoa, are you okay? Your face is all red!" Shota quickly noticed and he felt really worried. He hoped she didn't catch his cold.

"Umm, no! It's fine! Nothing to worry about!" Sawako stuttered as she replied. Shota looked on in confusion and continued on.

"I'm going to be out a bit longer. I got to help Pin out with something stupid." Shota looked away in annoyance at the thought of stupid Pin. "Anyways, can you wait for me at the shoe lockers?" Sawako couldn't speak, and just nodded her head in agreement. Shota smiled.

"Great I'll see you then." Shota grinned to Sawako before she left, and she just sat there dazed, staring into space.

"Sawako…Earth to Sawako!" Sawako quickly snapped out from her trance to see Ayane and Chizuru standing at her desk.

"Are you going home with us?" Chizuru asked happily. Sawako opened her mouth in shock and started feeling guilty

"I-I'm sorry…I already said I was going to wait for Shota…" Sawako was frowning and looked like she wanted to cry.

"Ah…It's okay. Just chill, Sawako!" Chizuru tried to say in a comforting way.

"Oh don't worry Sawako. It's natural you want to spend time with your boyfriend!" Ayane said with a grin, but looked away and started to have an evil laugh. 'Oh how Kazehaya would be depressed if Sawako didn't want to walk with him!'

"Yano-chin, don't do that. It scares me a lot…" Chizuru said with a scared tone.

Sawako, Chizuru, and Ayane all walked together to the shoe lockers. They all changed shoes and Chizuru and Ayane said their goodbyes to Sawako. Sawako leaned against the shelf as she waited for Shota. The wait was actually for quite a while, and Sawako's legs were starting to get tired. 'I guess its okay to sit for a bit…' Sawako thought to herself. She slowly slid to the ground and leaned her head back. There was no one around, and it was really quiet. Sawako had been so tired today for some reason, and before she knew it, she started dozing off until she went into a nap, dreaming about the moments she shared with Shota.

Meanwhile, Shota was in the P.E. office with Pin, and could feel his patience dropping by the second. Pin was talking even longer then expected, and Shota could care less about what Pin had to say. He quickly wanted to get back to Sawako.

"Hey, Shota, you listening?" Pin said, already noticing Shota was not concentrating on him. Pin couldn't help but be pissed about getting ignored.

"HEY, SHOTA!" Pin shouted out loudly. It got Shota's attention and he just glared at Pin.

"Look, can I go yet?"

"What's with your attitude?"

"What's with you dragging me here to listen to your life problems?" Shota really was starting to get annoyed, and Pin could tell. A light bulb turned on in Pin's head, which was a rare sight.

"I see now…You wanna go to Kuronuma!" Pin said correctly. Shota felt a jolt up his spine and turned away.

"Haha, I knew it! You're totally in love with her, huh? No wonder you two are dating?"

"Oh shut up!"

"Go to her…"

Shota stared at Pin with surprise. It was rare for Pin to be so nice. For some reason, Shota could tell Pin would ruin the moment. He decided to try and not jinx it.

"Thanks…I'm going first then." Shota said as he got up to the door. Before he left, Pin said one last thing.

"Yeah, go make out with your girlfriend! Ha ha ha!" Shota quickly blushed from that and glared at Pin before he left. He was too embarrassed to say anything.

'Stupid Pin, what does he even do with his life anyways?' Shota kept insulting Pin in his mind as he went to the shoe locker. 'I bet Sawako must have left by now. Not that I blame her…It's been 30 minutes…I better apologize to her later!' Shota thought to himself. He really wanted to beat Pin up for holding him back so long. He sighed and changed his shoes. As he started to walk forward, he saw a body leaning against the shelf. As he walked closer and closer, he was surprised to see Sawako there.

"S-Sawako!" He quickly ran up to her, to notice her eyes were closed. He could see her body moving a bit from light breathing, and noticed she was actually asleep. He placed himself beside her and smiled at her peacefulness. 'I'll just let her sleep a bit longer…' Shota thought to himself. He leaned back and relaxed. He started to also feel a bit tired, and before he could go and also take a nap, he felt a weight on his shoulder. His eyes opened completely, and he stared down to see Sawako leaning against him. She was still asleep, but she seemed to have a faint smile. Shota felt the blood go to his face but it quickly went away.

Shota remembered the conversation he had with Sawako yesterday and said what he said yesterday once more to reassure himself as well. "No matter what, I'm going to stay with you, Sawako." Maybe she couldn't hear him, but he wished those words would reach her. At the same moment, in Sawako's dreams, she could hear those words being spoken, and felt that she wanted to smile even more.

A few more minutes passed, before Sawako started to wake up. 'This…is so comfortable…' Sawako had no idea what she was leaning on, but she knew it felt kind of nice. However, she forced herself to get up. Her eyes started to slowly open.

"Ah, you're awake?" Sawako heard Shota's voice and started to understand her surroundings. She was in the school still, at the shoe lockers. And she was leaning on none other than Shota. She quickly moved her body back.

"I-I'm sorry!" Sawako said apologetically. Shota blinked in surprise and looked away.

"What's with you? You sound like you don't like leaning against me…" Shota said with a bit of arrogance in his voice. Sawako blinked and looked down.

"T-that's not it. I do enjoy leaning against you. It's just…aren't I heavy?" Shota could feel a bit red from Sawako's truthfulness, but still laughed.

"He he, sorry. I was just teasing you. And you're not even close to heavy. You're as light as a feather!" Sawako blushed at Shota's comment. He got up and went in front of Sawako.

"Come on, let's go." Shota offered his hand to Sawako. She took it and nodded in agreement. She held onto Shota's hand the whole time as they walked back home.

"Umm…Shota. It's been bothering me for a while…" Sawako and Shota were almost at Sawako's house, but she wanted to ask him first, since it was eating her away.

"Yeah, what is it?" Shota was a bit confused at what could be bothering Sawako.

"Well…yesterday, you said… 'I don't mind eating your cooking every day'. Umm…what did that mean?" Sawako was nervous and shifting around as she asked the question, and when she looked to Shota, he saw that his body seemed to be frozen in surprise.

"Eh! Shota!" Sawako noticed Shota's shock, and he quickly shook it off. 'So…does that mean she does or doesn't understand it?" Shota sighed to himself, and Sawako thought if she did something wrong. He smiled to himself.

"Hmm…I'll tell you when I'm older. Maybe a few years from now, then I'll tell you!" Sawako was confused, but agreed in the end. 'To be exact, I almost thought of that as a proposal…How embarassing of me! But…If he does say that to me one day, then I think I'll be even happier than ever..' Sawako thought to herself as she blushed. 'For now, I don't think we should think that far ahead. But one day, I'll tell you. I'll tell you you're the only thing important to me, and ask you to be with me forever.' Shota thought to himself as he walked with Sawako.

"Shota…So no matter what, you'll stay with me?" Sawako was still blushing , but she wanted to hear Shota say it again. She thought she heard him say it in her dreams, but she wanted to hear him say it himself. Shota stared at Sawako and grinned.

"No matter what, I'll stay with you! And if you're ever unsure, then I'll always say that to you again!" Sawako stared at Shota and smiled. 'That's right. In the end, we'll both face those obstacles together, because we love each other.'
