If Tomorrow Is Coming
Ch 8-Considering memories

kenzo sent the photos together to me and Lily via chat

:"thank you for the picture" I said

:"Together"

:"what if we play again? after camp is done" asked Lily

:"can tuh! but you're not busy?" tabya back kenzo

:"I don't" I answered

:"i also don't, except Sunday" replied Lily

:"what if we play Saturday?"

:"okay" answered me and Lily

.

.

camp is over, obviously they're exhausted aren't they? the other disciples had already returned to their homes and rested.

but I'm not home because I go somewhere. I can see good men like Kenzo. I come back because Kenzo reminds me of the man I love...

I'm approaching ley's tomb.

well, it's a long way from my house, but I don't care about it

because he was my best friend and the person I liked in the end, even though I couldn't protect him at all and I regret that.

.

.

the ley tomb

:"ley, what about your day."

:"ley, I met someone who looked like you. that's kenzo, my classmate."

I sat on the outskirts of his tomb, looking at the blue ceiling above Sana

:"I get the same happiness as when I met you Ley, I miss your nagging and advice.Let me see those memories."

my tears flowed slowly, remembering many things in the past.

regret, sadness, all of it mixed. when I realized that I had been happy in the past.it's just that I had a hard time accepting the reality

I looked up at the ceiling to see the clouds that make up an object.I like to see things like that along with ley.Our imagination grew there

.

kenzo pov's

I haven't been to Ley's grave in a long time, how much I miss her

ley is my best friend of all time, always with me whatever the conditions.he is very good and.yah anyway! he is the best of the best!

.

I just got to his funeral, I saw someone sitting behind me. He looked up at the sky, and like I knew who it was

:"hanabi?"

the kenzo pov end

I was shocked and wiped my tears

:"kenzo?"

I turned to the source of the voice, turned around and stood up straight

:iya, do you. know ley?"

kenzo approached me with a yellow rose bucket

:"ah.yeah, he was my best friend first" I replied rather nervously.

:"that's so! it's nice that my best friend can be visited by a beautiful and nice person like you"

kenzo put the yellow rose bucket on top of Ley's grave, praying there

:"is Ley your best friend? I never saw you guys together" I asked on the sidelines

I prayed while waiting for Kenzo to answer my question, well, because I had not prayed before either.well, replaced by crying remembering the past.

a few minutes later

we finished praying, and I waited for an answer from the silent Kenzo for a moment

:"not never see, I always play with him. Ley is like that, if he thinks his friend can't socialize and just get along with him. he refused to invite others even if threatened"

after being satisfied with the answer kenzo gave me, I smiled brightly afterwards

.

.

kenzo and I went home.

home, room

I was in my room, sleeping in my bed that was so big and soft

looking at my pictures with Lily and Kenzo at camp, I don't know what makes me so happy.

:"unfortunately, just for a moment, see how cool I can be to make the best friends" my inner self

:"let this happen every time" my inner self

it was a pity that it ended so quickly.I hoped that it would be something extraordinary in a long period of time.

when was the last time I expected that person to always be by my side? without having to leave me.

flashbacks

ley suddenly appeared at my school gate, waiting for me to appear before him

:"helloo! hanabi~" ley who suddenly appeared in front of the face

:"i'm waiting for you" ley smiled brightly

.

.

.

:"why do you always treat me" Ley ate that strawberry ice cream voraciously.

:"this is all I can do in return"

:"what have I done for you until you return the favor"

:"before that, last time it was his ice cream just talking! sniffed you out!" I hit Ley's back because she wouldn't stay still while eating

:"remember!!" ley laughed

.

.

a few months have passed, me and Ley are very familiar, even people think that we are brothers.

mall, accessories store

:"what about this? I need something interesting"

I showed her all sorts of bracelets and necklaces

:"what are you buying accessories for?"

:"memories, you and I. if you want.I also want to collect it, it has become my habit"

after I said that, I went back to see the other accessories that were there

I realized that Ley blushed in embarrassment at that moment, only that I let her and silently smiled.

:"a-ah..memories yes..if that's what I like?" he said nervous

:"you want to? just take what you like"

I'm happy with the answer, at least.

:"all right I'll look for him" he continued

.

.

:"thank you for shopping here, please come back"

I kept looking at the bracelet and earrings that Ley picked out, she was really very fit to wear that thing

:"the bracelet you chose is very good! those earrings suit you too!"

:"are I handsome?" ley is cool-style while walking backwards

:"very handsome" I replied

and he was embarrassed again

.

.

.

in park

:"aaaaaaaaaaaaa" cried ley like a man without a job

I am still focused on my HP, just looking at her who is whining bored while circling

:"why are you?"

ley squatted in front of me, looking at my face

:"I like you but I'm sure you'll turn it down because you don't want to destroy our friendship"

I was obviously embarrassed by the expression that I said, especially we were in the park.

:"you..like me?"

:"so much like you."

- they left when I was really happy.

.

.

hospital, in front of the operating room

:"om.. ley state..?" I was obviously worried, I almost cried

:"pardon us, dear.when we know this is the only thing that makes you happy, but we can't save her.." replied Ley's father grudgingly

ley's father hugged me and cried, as did his mother, who was standing behind me. He cried to hear her son who was not there.

how come? why didn't you tell me? this way I won't spoil you too much. I'll protect you, but why don't you tell me? you have a severe illness until you have to undergo surgery? I don't want to lose everything anymore..

I cried in ley's father's arms until I realized that my mother, brother shahiro and cookies had come and seen it. shahiro walked over to me and hugged me to calm me down, who was crying so hard at the time.

.

flashback off

.

I just fell silent to tears.I can only remember a memory that makes me happy, but also makes me regret.I hope to be better so as not to disappoint ley. that's what I think.

haha, the SD days feel like yesterday.

- passed by seconds

I remember clearly how she expressed her feelings back then. People immediately looked at us and smiled in shame at our behavior, even though I did not know which one I should have noticed at that time.

I like you too, ley.

shahiro pov's

I opened the door to Hanabi's room, wanting to call her over for dinner, but I saw Hanabi who had fallen asleep there.

I closed the door and stayed for a while in front of his room.

:"at least you're happy to see Ley again, right? even if I just look at the tomb" I murmured

shahiro pov end
