Oh mah gawd. It's been so long since I've been on FFN or written, for that fact. Sorry! x] I finished piano testing in the last 1-2 months and got awesome results. I hope I'll be writing more soon...

Sorry for the HUGE timeskips. I just felt that it's about time I wrote this and closed up the curtains. Thanks for everyone who's been following! :] I'll be continuing Campus Crush and a few other stories/one-shots after this!

"I'm gonna miss this place."
"I'm not."
The two boys looked out the window. "Liftoff. Fifteen hours until arrival."

I can't sleep.
Rin tossed in bed. 2:11AM. But Len's coming back today... she searched up flights and estimated that he'd be back by six that evening. There was still school to deal with before he'd be able to talk to her. I need sleep... but she couldn't. It seemed like hours before she finally let herself fall into a void of dreams.

"Crap, there was a test today?" Golden hair tousled, a slight dark shadow under those blue eyes. The teacher was too close for her to pull out her textbook and catch a glimpse. She slammed down her binder and sighed. "Doudemoii..."

"Three hours left." Mikuo nudged the drowsy Len.
"And another two or three days until I can see Rin. Curse you, weekend..."
"Ask her out tomorrow? Movies?"
"Nah..."
"No guts?"
"Don't wanna."
"Yeah right, wuss."
A month was drawing to a close. Len was glad. Two months ago, he would have thought that two weeks being separated from Rin was eternity. But he'd gone a month without her, and almost died on the inside.

Two hours left...
A hand spun the dial, pausing every second on the shabbily painted number. Rin opened her locker forcefully. Today sucked. I miss him like crazy. She dragged out her backpack. Gumi and Miku approached her.
"Seriously, are you okay?" They asked at the same time.
"I don't know." She honestly didn't...

One hour left...
"We're so close to home. It's like I can already smell it..." The blue haired boy looked out the window. It was five, and the sky was getting dark.
"One blasted hour - can't time move faster?"
"Nah..."

Twenty minutes...
Not a drop of ink on the printed paper.
I can't think.
The rustle of a jacket echoed through the desolate house.
I...
The door was pulled shut, keys making a clanging noise.
I can't...
The sleek black car pulled out of the driveway.
I can't stand it anymore.

"We're back!" Mikuo shouted as soon as they left the boarding tunnel. "Hey, I see my imotou!"
"Nii-chan!" Miku ran towards him, blue hair fluttering. "We should go." She started pushing him to the parking lot. "Oh and... Len..." She gave a worried glance towards him.
"What?"
"You... never mind..." Rin... maybe it's because of him that she's been so down. But come Monday...
Her phone rang. "Oh my gosh, it's Kaito." She gasped and grabbed Mikuo's wrist. "Let's go! I'll call him back when we get home. See ya, Len."
And then he was alone again.
I need to talk to her in person, just for once. He stared at the ground and shuffled forward, towards the exit.
"I can't stand it."
Rin got out of her car.
"I'll take chances..."
She walked towards the terminal, away from the parking lot.
He walked towards the parking lot, away from the terminal.
At a fast pace.
They collided.
"Sorry..." They said, before looking up.
"Len?"
"Rin?"
Len dropped his suitcase in pure surprise.
"Damnit sorry Rin, I-"
"What?" She stared at him.
"I never told you how much I loved you before I left."
She felt her heartbeat start to pound furiously. "And how much would that be?"
"Well let's say... a lot is an underestimation." He leaned forward and kissed her.
They broke away and Rin smiled, flushed. "But probably not as much as I love you."
"You have no idea..." They shared a light laugh.
"You grew out your hair." She gazed at him. "Ponytail, eh?"
"I'll cut it if you don't like it. Today, if you wa-"
"It's cute on you." She looked even more flushed.
"...I'm never cutting it short ever again."
For that moment, it felt like the rest of the world wasn't there. It was only them. They didn't notice Teto and Luka gawking at them on the side of the terminal, or the rest of the people at all.
A minute of awkward silence as they blushed.
And then Len spoke.
"We were separated for thirty-one days and nights. And next time I'll never leave you."
Two figures faded out of view, amidst the bright lights of the airport.
