Well, this is it.
This is the LAST CHAPTER of Complications.
Tbh, when i first started this ffn, i thought that no one would review, and no one would even read it. I really wasnt expecting the 70+ reviews and many favorites that I have today.
Thank you all SO SO MUCH for reading complications, and for this one final time for this story:
I hope you enjoy the chappie!
Love Love Love Love,

I stepped out of the house, squinting at the blinding sunshine that shone out from over the top of the buildings.
My shimmering aqua hair was pulled into what was now my signature style: in two pigtails, trailing a bit below my waist. My tan uniform and bookbag were neat and in order, but there was no one to impress at this time of day. No one was up and about, I was the only student roaming outside.
I lived five minutes away from my school. The said school began in over an hour from now. So, why was I up so early?
Mostly to think.
His words still lingered, brushing by me like a cool summer breeze, his voice echoing through my mind.
"Miku...I-I think I love you."
My face still burned when I thought of him saying that. He loved me? Please. The last person he would love would be me...
I arrived at school, the normal brisk walk lengthening into a thirty-minute stroll.
Sakura trees...
It was spring. The blossoms of the cherry tree opened, blooming into sweet pink flowers that gave off a pleasant odor.
Talking, chipped white paint...
I sat down on the bench, and a rush of memories coursed through my veins. When was the last time we really had a personal talk? Did yesterday count?
Secrets...
He liked Meiko, he had to like Meiko. He would never like someone like me, never.
Surprises...
Yesterday was a surprise. Everything was surprising. But nothing mattered if it wasn't true. Kaito could lie, it wasn't as if he had a face which gave everything away... It could have been a dare.
A dare. That was plausible.
I didn't notice the students filing in the school, teachers parking in parking spaces and hurrying to classrooms, my friends chatting as they bustled around looking for books, and Rin and Len holding hands and walking right past me.
So naturally I wouldn't notice the boy standing right next to me.
He wasn't just any boy. He had dark blue hair and eyes, a broad smile, a pale blue scarf, and a love of ice cream...
"Miku?" he whispered. I jumped.
Although I was startled, I didn't need to look up to know who he was. I could recognize his voice from a mile away if I wanted to.
"Kaito," I muttered, and on second thought, I looked up at him. I was met by his peircing gaze.
"I took things too far yesterday," he said softly, putting a hand on my shoulder hesitantly, as if I was an injured animal and needed special care. "I shouldn't have-"
"It was a dare," I said coldly. "wasn't it."
He shook his head and sat down next to me.
"No, it wasn't." he said. "Maybe it doesn't look like it, Miku, but I meant every word that I said yesterday. I do love you, and I always have."
A shiver ran down my spine. Always? But he loved...
"Maybe I didn't realize it at the time," he murmured, "I didn't realize it when I liked Meiko, when I was at that winter dance and tripping over my own feet, but I've loved you all this time." He whispered. "It just took a while for me to realize it, for it to sink in."
His words sunk in slowly, and my heart quickened its pace. It was the beginning of the year again and I was spinning out of control.
Triple baka, boxes of orange juice, mint chocolate ice cream that melted and ran down the side of the waffle cone and onto my hand...
"I.. I know who Kaito likes..."
"Who?"
"M-Meiko."
The sense of longing, hurt, crying all night, waking up a mess...
"Miku! Miku, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
The confession, admitting to liking someone...
"Is it... Gakupo?"
"Now that wasn't too hard, was it?"
It became all too much for me, and I stood up.
"Why you?" I sobbed.
Kaito followed me, standing by my side. "Miku?"
"Is that all you can say?" I shot, wiping at my eyes so that tears wouldn't spill out, "Whenever we talk, and I get upset, all you say is 'Miku?' Can't you say anything else?"
I stared at him, straight in his eyes, almost challenging him to say something back. He didn't.
"I..." I began, and my lip trembled and my eyes watered. "I don't know why it always ends up this way! You smile, I fall for you. You laugh, I fall harder. Anything you do can make my day."
Kaito looked at me, opening his mouth in suprise. "But, I..."
I shook my head. "You see," I whimpered quietly, "You always treat me like this. I give up everything to you, and you ignore me. I talk to you, and you run to someone else. I loved you for more than a year. All I got was heartbreak. So tell me why,"
I said, standing close to him and placing my hand on his shoulder, blinking and trying not to burst into tears,
"Tell me why I still love you." I whispered.
He didn't speak, but merely lifted my chin up with one finger. Our heads tilted to the side, and our lips met in a simple kiss. His soft lips tasted like the coolness of the rain and the warmth of the sun captured in one second of a moment, and he lingered a bit before hesitantly pulling away.
Our eyes slowly opened and they locked, his deep blue eyes focused on me as he murmured softly in my ear, "Maybe I wasn't there then, but I'm here now."
The pink blossoms of the sakura trees littered the ground as the wind blew gently and we leaned in for another kiss.
