《Falling For You {Kita Shinsuke}》{Epilogue (Pt. 1): A Confession Of Love}
Advertisement
I walked through the snow, the brisk cold air brushed through my hair as I travelled, giving me chills.
It's been a few years since we graduated high school. Shinsuke became a rice farmer and I became a designer, owning my own business and clothing line.
I just finished work, making my way to 'Onigiri Miya' a restaurant Samu decided to open.
Walking into the warm restaurant, the bell above the door signalled my arrival.
"Oh hey Nee-san, how was work?" Osamu greeted, smiling as he waved.
"Interesting as always, I have a few more design ideas that I'm currently working on" I answered, taking off my coat and taking a seat.
"I see, can't wait to see it" he replied, getting some food ready.
"Where's Shinsuke?" I asked before feeling warm lips on my cold cheek.
"Right here, love" Shinsuke smiled before taking his seat.
I smiled in return, talking amongst ourselves.
"Oh look, Tsumu's on TV" I said, making Shinsuke and Osamu turn their heads at the television.
Atsumu was shown wearing his Japan National jersey, the number 11 printed on the front and back.
"Miya-san, how did you manage to become one of the strongest servers on the team?" the journalist asked.
"I actually learnt how to do my jump float from my Nee-san back in high school" Atsumu chuckled, remembering the day clearly.
"She taught me and my twin brother everything there was to know about volleyball, she loves it a lot" he explained
The journalist continued to ask questions before a mop of white spiky hair with black tips and a mop of orange hair crashed the interview.
"Yo, Tsum-tsum" Bokuto cheerfully, slinging his arms around Atsumu's shoulders.
"Heya, Atsumu-kun!!" Hinata cheered, mirroring Bokuto's mood.
"How nice of you to join us, Bokuto-san, Hinata-san" the journalist welcomed.
"What are you guys talking about?" Bokuto asked, curiously.
"Oh I was just talking about my Nee-san" Atsumu answered, turning slightly to his senior.
"Ohh you mean, Hana-chan!!" Bokuto repeated, nodding.
"Oh Hana-senpai?! Where?!?!" Hinata exclaimed excitedly, looking around.
The journalist laughed at their reactions.
"It seems like your sister is quite famous in her own right" they commented.

"She was one of the best volleyball players during the time we went to school. She was the Guardian Fox of Inarizaki" Atsumu bragged, smiling brightly.
"Hana-senpai actually mentored me back when I was in middle school and high school. I'm really grateful for her and her guidance" Hinata said, looking into the camera before smiling brightly.
"If your watching this Hana-senpai, thank you!!!" he cheered, making the journalist smile warmly.
"She kept on receiving my spikes" Bokuto cried, hair deflating as Hinata comforted him.
Atsumu laughed before they were called over by their coach.
"Well, looks like we have to go" Atsumu said, gesturing to the coach.
"I see, thank you for joining us for this short interview, Miya-san, Bokuto-san and Hinata-san" the journalist thanked.
"Thanks for having us" Atsumu replied before leaving.
"When did he get so polite?" Osamu questioned, putting down the food.
I shrugged in response, beginning to eat.
"Open yer mouth, Shin" I said, feeding Shinsuke some food.
Osamu rolled his eyes at our interaction.
"Yer make me wanna throw up, Nee-san"
"Oh shut yer trap, Samu" I retorted playfully.
After eating, Shinsuke and I decided to go to the park and walk around.
"We haven't been here for a long time" Shinsuke said, smiling fondly at the memories we shared in this park.
I hummed in agreement before spotting a familiar hill and dragging my boyfriend with me.
"H-hey! Slow down!"
I only laughed as I continued to drag him.
We stood under the tree, reminiscing the past as the cold wind blew around us, making us nuzzle into our scarfs.
"This was the place where I asked ya out, remember?" Shinsuke breathed out, looking at me with his warm eyes.
"Of course...I'll never forget that day" I whispered, looking back at him.
Shinsuke chuckled before gently holding both of my hands, turning to face me.
"I just want to say...you make me so happy, you've been with me for all these years, supporting me and loving me unconditionally, I'll forever be grateful for you and all you do for me. I love you, Hana with all my heart and I'll love you longer than time itself. I want to continue loving you, to be the first thing you see each morning and to stay by your side forever" Shinsuke confessed, looking into my eyes which were tearing up from the heartfelt confession.

"I want you to take my name, to start a family with you, watch them grow and have children of their own and grow old and grey with you." he continued, taking a deep breath.
"So..." he said, letting go of my hands and kneeling on one knee, bringing out a black velvet box, making me cry more.
"Will you make me the happiest and luckiest man on earth and grant me my wish?" he asked, opening the box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring as it glistened in the light.
"Will you marry me?" he finally breathed out.
Tears fell down my cheeks like a waterfall as I let out a sob.
"Y-yes..I will marry you" I managed to answer.
Shinsuke smiled and stood up, sliding the ring onto my finger before lifting me up and spinning me around, laughing in glee.
I held onto him and laughed with him, my tears continuing to fall.
We walked to Shinsuke's house, hand-in-hand, as he opened the door and called out.
"Tadaima, Obaa-san" he said, walking into the living room with me behind him.
"Okaerinasai, Shin-chan, Hana-chan" Obaa-san replied, smiling before her eyes widened.
"C-can you come here, Hana-chan..." she muttered, patting the seat beside her.
I smiled and made my way over to her, sitting down.
She took a deep breath before grabbing my left hand gently and looked at the ring that was on my finger.
"Oh child...is it true? Is it really true?" she asked in disbelief.
Shinsuke chuckled and I nodded in response, smiling softly.
She then laughed in pure happiness and pulled me into her embrace, caressing my head as I returned the hug.
"Obaa-san..." I whispered.
"Welcome to the family, Hana-chan" she chuckled, smiling ever so brightly.
"You may kiss the bride"
I was grabbed by the waist and pulled into a warm chest as my lips met Shinsuke's.
Everyone cheered as they clapped for the newly wed couple.
We pulled away, turning as we heard Atsumu sob loudly.
"Tsumu?" I called out, laughing.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!"

Shinsuke and I walked inside the venue of the after party, hand-in-hand, as everyone cheered and congratulated us.
"Yo, Nii-san~" Atsumu said teasingly, walking towards us.
"Hello, Atsumu" Shinsuke chuckled lightly.
"Meh, just call me Tsumu, yer part of the family now" he said while shrugging.
Osamu stood next to me and Shinsuke, sighing in relief.
"Finally...I have a brother that's not an idiot" he said, bringing his brother-in-law into a hug.
"OI DO YER WANNA START SOMETHING, YER SHIT" Tsumu bellowed.
Osamu then turned to me, kissing my cheek.
"Thank yer so much for marrying this man" he said seriously, going back to talking to his now brother-in-law
I laughed as I watched Osamu continue to thank his former captain while Atsumu shouted at his twin.
While everyone was dancing and partying inside the venue, I stood outside, taking a break from the party.
Breathing in the night air, I watched the stars and moon shining in the night sky, listening to the music coming from inside.
I sighed in bliss, feeling arms wrap around my waist and a warm breath on my neck.
"What are yer doing outside, love?" Shinsuke asked, kissing my temple.
"Just taking a small breather, nothing much" I replied, turning to face my husband.
He hummed, his hand grabbing onto mine as we began to sway to the music.
"Dance with me" he uttered, his other arm securely wrapping around my waist.
I smiled softly and nodded, letting him take the lead as we moved to the music.
We danced under the night sky as he twirled me around.
"Shinsuke!" I laughed as he suddenly dipped me, leaning our foreheads together.
I wrapped my arms around his neck while both of Shinsuke's arms wrapped around my waist, slowly swaying as we leaned into each other more.
"I love you, Shinsuke..." I muttered, my lips brushing against his.
"I love you too, Hana" he replied before closing the gap and putting his lips on mine.

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.
