"Hey Touko..?"

"What's up, Stephy?"

"Are you mad at me that I sometimes don't have you come with me on my adventures?"

"What? No, I would never be mad at you, ever!"

"I... see. That's very nice and comfortable to hear."

"Heh, you find a lot of comfort in me, but I don't mind. I find comfort in you as well~"

"I am... so happy that I met you and found meaning in staying with my head up, even in the darkest times. I would've been empty without you."

"Stephan... You are always make me having to keep in tears of joy fron hearing just how much I have meant and still mean to you..."

"Then please don't cry, my beloved. I might've cried as well over my appreciation for you, but even such tears has to be made into more happiness."

"Yeah, crying drains you a lot after all, whether they are happy or sad, grateful or tragic."

"Couldn't have said it better myself, my beloved Touko."

After our conversation, we hold each other's hand, anticipating the incoming raft.

And within a blink of our eyes, the raft was there, waiting for us to take us towards the sunrise that is almost as beautiful as Touko, but she is still more beautiful than it, and will always be.

Walking hand in hand up to it, I let Touko go onto it first, before I soon after go onto it myself.

"Ready to go on one final adventure with me?" I ask Touko as she embraces me in a hug and kisses me on my lips.

"I am always ready for anything when I am with you, my captain~"

We soon sit down on the raft, holding each other tightly. But not because we were afraid, we just always love being close with each other.

We can feel that the raft begins it's departure, but me and Touko remains relaxed. Even if we had felt fear, that would be okay, because our voyage in front of us might be endless.

But as long as we are with each other, no voyage is ever too long of it.

I love you, Touko Kirigaya.

(Author's Note: This one might feel very different of it, I just wanted to try something else from my never ending feelings for Touko.

It might feel like a vent, an experiment, or a ton of other things, but it was just something I wrote.

Sorry if you became sad from this, I will not try to make too much melancholic stories, even if I am pretty sure I've warned that a lot of things I write here are personal of them.

But I trust many to be able to share my personal feelings and thoughts about Touko.)
