- Epilogue -
Not even a week later does the weather feel like it changes. Spring ends and summer hopped right on bringing its humidity and unbearable heat.
"Natsume-sensei..." One of my students calls out to me in a lazy tone. It was Friday today and the day was just about to end; well, the school day anyways.
"Sensei...can we stop for today? My brain has melted...."
I laugh and close my teaching binder. "Alright, you girls can relax until the bell rings. Just don't be too noisy. We have Mr. Kougami's class taking a quiz next door."
"Okay!"
I start packing my things up to leave, then sit on my desk when I'm done. I close my eyes and fall deep in thought.
It's been a week since Kougami and I have been a couple. Although we haven't had much time together, there was something comforting about just thinking about him.
And every time I see him, I feel warm and happy. It's been awhile since I'd felt this way.
Instead of having it throw me off, I welcomed the feelings of pleasantness. I loved him and that was all there was to it.
I spin my chair from the window to the chalkboard. Under the word "season" I erase "spring" and begin to write "summer".
I'm interrupted by one of the girls whom nervously came up to speak to me.
"Um....Sensei..." I turn at the sound of the quiet voice. Her last name was Tanaka, and she was almost silent during class, barely speaking, only doing so when I would call on her.
"Yes?" I smile at her, trying to seem more approachable and friendly.
"I um...I was just wondering if you were interested in being the supervisor for a club I want to start..." She begins.
I stare at her for a while before thinking about it and answering.
"Hm.. well I'll think about it... but give me sometime to organize myself." After all I had Harue to take care of. I could work around it somehow, maybe ask someone to take care of him for me, maybe Akita could baby sit for me if I paid her?
I really wanted to help her with her club. I was pretty interested in the whole club system here in the beginning. I had forgotten about about it due to my settling in and such, but now was the perfect opportunity, and I was willing to make it work for me and the club.
"What kind of club is it?" I ask her, curious about her intentions.
"It's going to be the classical music club." She answers with more excitement. "I got a lot of my friends together from other classes. Many of them play instruments and they want to join so..."
"I thought we'd have a music club like that." I tilt my head to the side in thought. "I mean this is a private girls school."
"There are music clubs. But it's more like, choir and school band." She explains. "I want to start a club where there could be more soloing, you know?"
I nod. "Of course. I used to play an instrument in 4th grade. I think it was the song flute. I always hated playing with the other kids. I wanted to be solo at least once for our performance." I think back to my elementary days which seem ancient. "I'd be awesome if we could get you girls to perform at festivals and such.
She nods excitedly at the idea as the bell rings letting everyone out.
"I'll have an answer by Monday." I reassure her while she runs back to her desk to grab her bag.
The classroom clears out and I grab my bag and my keys ready to lock the door.
I leave the building a little later, after most of the school has emptied, as usual, and head to the front gate to meet Yamato.
Our meeting place enters my field of vision and Yamato is no where in sight. I shrug and walk over to the gate and stand beside it, waiting patiently.
I was feeling impatient though because I wanted to see him.
I close my eyes for a moment to distract myself from the feeling of longing. I had just seen him during lunch had I not? Why was I being so needy?
My feelings were noticeably getting stronger for Yamato.
"....Haruna."
"Yes?" I answer before processing the sound of his voice.
It's Yamato.
I get goosebumps and look up to make eye contact.
As soon as his eyes meet mine he breaks out into a smile. "Let's go home."
That smile of his sparked something inside of me because I suddenly felt all fuzzy and what not.
I feel my face turn a bit pink as I nodded slowly and began walking with him, side by side.
After walking for a while and being pretty far from the school he takes my hand in his.
Even the most simple gestures from him made me get nervous and excited at the same time.
I felt like a teenager again, reacting to my first love.
I was feeling pretty funny about that, but there was nothing I could do to stop my emotions.
We pick Harue up as usual and get home.
Harue begins stepping up the stairs to our apartment cheerfully singing a song he had learned at the beginning of the week at school.
His voice stops abruptly as soon as we hear him reach our floor.
"Harue?" I call out to him. When I get to our floor, I see the apartment's owner there.
"Good afternoon." He bows politely.
-----------------------
I unlock my door as he instructs and open and the horrific scene unfolds before the four of us.
"I got a call earlier from an occupant floor above you..it's the apartment above this one..."
I stare down at the mess before me. There was a freaking piano.
"They tried hauling in a grand piano...it didn't go so well."
Pieces of ceiling sat beside the now, badly damaged piano.
My mind is pretty much blank right now.
"So then..."
"So then I need you to move out while repairs are going on....I know it's difficult and the inconvenience is great but..."
I shake my head. "I understand. Things happen." There was nothing much I could do about the situation itself. My job in this now was to find somewhere to stay at least for tonight.
"The construction workers that came earlier told me to prohibit the entrance of the room, because of it's dangerous conditions.They did retrieve what they did and stashed it here in the entrance."
I look behind me and sure enough there were a few sealed boxes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We left with the bare minimum. The people only got as far as the bathroom and laundry room because our room was destroyed together with our hallway and kitchen.
So they only gathered the few clothes that were stashed in the laundry room and basically everything that was in the bathroom.
My laptop was in the living room so it was, thankfully, safe. Harue's precious arrangements where saved as well.
The apartment manager leaves after we talk a bit more, and after he tells me that repairs will begin in June and go until August.
"I can't believe this," I say aloud as I hold my face in my hands. "Two months?"
"You were supposed to believe it back there, when you saw what happened." Yamato comes over with a some tea.
We were now at his home after he had suggested that we stay in his place. I was hesitant at first but...
I really had no other free alternative.
"Thanks for letting me stay here." I hug his arm as he sits down. I wasn't usually that bold but I really was grateful.
"You can thank me with a kiss." He says in a teasing tone as he grabs my chin and pulls my face closer to his.
"Oba! Look!" Harue points at the TV.
Yamato and I pull away fast as lightning. Harue knew we were a thing, but it felt wrong to kiss in front of him.
"W-what is it?" I ask nervously turning to the TV. It was a commercial for some apartments in the city part of Tokyo.
It reminds me that we can't stay with Yamato for long; we needed to find our next temporary spot.
"Thanks for letting us stay here but, we won't be in your way for long." I turn to Yamato again. I didn't want to depend on him too much.
"..." He looks away from, and speaks up quietly. "You don't have to leave..."
"Huh?" His voice was almost in mumbles and I couldn't really make out what he was saying.
He then turn to me and gives me the most serious expression before proposing something that I wouldn't have expected in that particular moment.
"Why don't you just live with me?"
