“how did you….”

“I guess this is what they call the red thread of fate”

He then took the phone from her hand, he didn’t say anything

“aren’t you happy to see me?”

“I thought I was never going to see you again”

“me too….”

“look, I didn’t leave because I wanted”

“so, you wanted to leave me?”

“no, I didn’t mean that way”

She then placed her finger on his lips trying to stop him to keep trying to give explanation, time was flowing really slow until this moment when the time stopped completely, she was the weak point of Harima, each time that her flesh touched Harima lips, he could not stop himself of wanting to be with her

“I don’t want to push you to explain something that is now in the past”

Every single word that she said was so pure, Harima was captive of her voice and her words, she was forgiving him for leaving her, he could not cry because what he was feeling at that time was real love, fate gave him the person he needed, it was like an oasis in the desert, the bottle of water to refresh his heart, the warm flame that his frozen heart needed, she was someone that made him prisoner of the desire, she was everything in one, different from Marisa who made him challenge himself, different from Erica who was a shield, different from Tenma the failed test of courage, Annabel the helper, everyone before Reina were only people that Harima confused with love, he didn’t have to imagine a future with Reina because fate had already decided that they both belong to each other, yes, they would have twisted times but they will be able to overcome anything that come to their lives, time started running again

“you might find it funny”

“what?”

“it seems to me that time stops every time that I’m with you”

“so, you can be romantic too huh?”

“is a fact”

Then she held his hand

“c’mon let’s go”

“where are we going?”

“we are getting ready for the fireworks”

“fireworks?”

“didn’t you come to Hiratsuka for the fireworks?”

“I thought they had them on August”

“they made this year special and decided to do them for Tanabata”

“OOOOHHH right, I forgot about that, I brought some foreigners to this city”

“really?’

“yea”

“that’s why you left me at Tokyo?’

She stared at him, he could not get himself to tell her who they were

“I’m joking”

She started to held his hand tighter than before and he answered with the same and held her hand tighter

Grand Hotel Kanachu

“I’m staying here tonight”

“really?”

Harima felt that an invitation was coming next because of the chapter at Tokyo, he started to sweat

“I’ll be right back, I’m going to change and get ready for fireworks, don’t leave me this time”

“I promise I won’t”

Harima could not stop himself of imagining Reina undressing herself and taking a bath getting ready for a quality night, everyone at the lobby were staring at him because he was turning red and then time started to go slower and a song started to play

“……………. I want to see your face in every kind of light………………………………”

Reina was so radiant, she was so gorgeous, she was wearing a pink and red yukata, the yukata design included Sakura flowers in it, and on her head a red corsage, the smell of her shampoo was so sweet, Harima could not move, she was getting closer and closer

“it seems it worked”

“…..”

“c’mon, you can move now”

“what if I tell you that I can’t”

“what do you mean”

“I want to keep this image of you in my mind”

She blushed

“you look amazing”

“do you have a yukata?”

“I actually didn’t bring one”

“let’s go buy one”

They went to buy Harima yukata and were deciding which Yukata looked better on him, they found one blue, it had a design of Sakura on the shoulder, it matched Reina one

“ok, go try it”

“ok….”

Harima was delaying too much and Reina decided to enter the room where Harima was changing, he was half naked

“what are you……”

“shhhhhh”

She started to help him put the yukata on and while touching his body she started to kiss his body with her lips, she was turning him on and stopped when he could not resist

“ok, is ready now”

Harima looked like he was exhausted because she drained his life by kissing him the way she did

They started to head to the beach, there were several booths selling traditional food, Harima and Reina shared Tokoyaki and Yakitori and sat together waiting for the fireworks

“I’m really happy to be here with you”

“me too”

They held hands and then it began, a big explosion in the sky and the light shining like stars, you could feel how your chest tremble by the sound of the explosions, Harima looked at Reina eyes and they reflected the fireworks, she was so beautiful, she was perfect, Harima was her slave, Harima turned to watch the fireworks and Reina got close to his ear and whispered

“what are you doing the rest of your life?”

A big explosion made Harima heart go to maximum revolutions and then he looked at her and ………

Temple near Kaname Water Park

“this is the place”

“it was a bit far”

“ok Yamiko and Shirayuki, please stay here, you can’t come with me for the next part”

“This is the only entrance to the sanctuary so everything should be ok”

“ok”

Anne started to walk but she didn’t know what was about to happen

Inside the Sanctuary

July 7, 11:48 pm

Anne started to pray and someone appeared in front of her, a dude with a sake jar on his hand

“Hello Miss….?”

“Hello Mr. Hikoboshi, my name is Anne Nassau Weilburg and I’m here to make my wish come true”
