A/N: I got the title from GFRIEND's song 'Rough' since the song means 'running through time' and all that time shit. I also recommend this song to you guys. Listen to the beauty!! And oh, watch the lyrics 'kay? And this is what i like about Nozomi and Eli's seiyuu's, even their seiyuu's are a couple (and gay for each other) 😆😆😆 and the picture are obviously Nozomi and Eli's seiyuu's

No One's POV [ 2 Years Ago ]

"Elicchi please stop crying. It makes me cry too." Nozomi said, hugging Eli who's crying after Serina's departure.

"I was so weak and stupid...!! I can't even stop Serina... I'm so sorry Nozomi..." Eli sobbed.

"It's okay. We all failed stopping her too. It's not all your fault Elicchi. Stop crying." Nozomi said and hugged Eli tighter. Eli just buried her head on Nozomi's chest and continued crying.

'Serina-chan you don't know how much Elicchi loves you, don't you?' Nozomi thought and patted Eli's head.

"Elicchi, everything's gonna be okay. She'll return to you." Nozomi said and held Eli's hands.

"I'm here for you." Nozomi said, pressing her forehead to Eli's. KiSS BABY, KISS!!

"Th-Thank you, Nozomi..." Eli said. Nozomi wiped away Eli's tears and smiled before kissing her lips. Eli just kissed back without herself knowing. It's not like Nozomi is stealing away Eli from Serina. Nozomi also likes Serina but this time, Nozomi needs to comfort her precious Elicchi.

At a distance, Maki was watching with her arms crossed and has bitch-looking face again.

'Hmph.' Maki thought and scoffed before walking away, bumping Nico.

"Maki-chan..." Nico called. Maki just blankly stared at Nico before walking away completely.

'Serina's departure really broked her down.' Nico thought and slightly punched the wall.

"Serina, you're a fucking idiot for hurting Maki and Eli..." Nico mumbled, tears slowly falling down her eyes.

Nozomi leaned back and hugged Eli again.

"You can cry all you want today but tommorow, i want you to smile." Nozomi whispered.

"Okay... Okay..." Eli said and kept crying on Nozomi.

[ 3 Weeks Later ]

Everything went back to normal. Not Maki, Nico, and Hanayo though. It was the graduation day. Hanayo and Maki were way upstairs, watching the ceremony. The two weren't saying anything and smiles weren't shown on their faces. Nico wasn't smiling too.

"So... They're graduating huh?" Hanayo asked a few minutes later.

"Yeah..." Maki said.

"Time surely flies..." Hanayo said.

"Kayo-chin!" Rin yelled and hugged Hanayo from behind.

"Rin-chan?" Hanayo asked.

"Honoka-chan wants to talk to you! You too Maki-chan." Rin said and suddenly kissed Hanayo's cheek.

"It's great! A great big news!" Rin yelled.

[ Later On ]

"I-Is that true...?" Eli asked Hanayo and Maki who's finally smiling after Honoka's announcement.

"Yes!" Maki yelled.

"Serina-chan's gonna come back. But we don't know when though. Sonic-senpai can tell us when he knows too." Hanayo said.

"That's great... Really great.." Nico said.

"Awww, my Nico-chan is crying." Maki teased and pinched Nico's cheek.

"I ain't crying you lil' shit!" Nico yelled.

"I'm glad to hear that news. Now let's have a little graduation party~!" Nozomi cheered.

"Yeah~!" Rin yelled.

"Nozomi." Eli called and leaned close to Nozomi's ear.

"Thanks for comforting me." Eli whispered.

"Anything for my Elicchi." Nozomi said with a bright smile. Eli just smiled back.

And that's how Eli and Nozomi was after Serina's departure two years ago
