The bond between Sakusa and me continued to grow stronger with each passing day. We spoke of our dreams, our fears, and the love that had blossomed in the most unexpected of circumstances. 

One moonlit night, with the stars as our witnesses, the air was charged with an unspoken tension. The soft glow of the lanterns painted our surroundings with a warm and intimate light. 

"Omi," I began, my voice filled with a mixture of excitement and vulnerability, "there's something I need to tell you." 

He turned to me, his eyes locking with mine. "What is it?" 

"I love you," I confessed, my heart pounding in my chest, the words flowing from my heart to my lips. "I love you more than words can express, and I can't imagine my life without you." 

For a moment, there was silence between us, the sea's gentle whispers the only sound. His gaze held mine, his dark eyes reflecting the emotions that danced in the lantern's glow. Then, with a smile that touched the corners of his lips, Sakusa reached out and took my hand in his. 

"I love you too," he said, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity. Those three words hung in the air, powerful and true. 

We continued to hold each other's gaze, our hands entwined, and our hearts connected. Then we shared a kiss, the kind of kiss one cal only dream of having. It was peerfect. It was a night that we would never forget, a night when our love was declared beneath the canvas of the star-studded sky. 

Our connection was far deeper than words could convey. It was a love that had grown amidst the rolling waves and the endless horizons of the sea. With every glance, every touch, and every shared moment, our love blossomed into a beautiful, unspoken promise. 

Our love remained steadfast, and I couldn't help but wonder about the journey ahead. My heart longed for the shores of home, and I knew that our love would be tested when I finally returned to the kingdom of Miyagi. But, our love was a force to be reckoned with. It was a love that transcended words, a love that spoke through the silent moments and meaningful glances, a love that had taken root in the depths of our souls. Hand in hand, we would face whatever challenges lay ahead.
