The Fate we Choose (Inazuma Eleven GO/CS/Galaxy)

Chapter 58 Together Forever

(Don't own art (￣ω￣) )

Shōko POV

I was in a hallway listening to music, humming along with the melody. But then I could hear footsteps coming from behind me so I turned around.

!

"Shu-chan...?"

Shuuya gave me a tired smile.

"But... I thought that Endou-kun..."

Shuuya: "You can ask Sumire later about it."

"Ah..."

I see... Sumi-chan probably made him come to me.

"Well..."

The two of us became quiet. Then I turned away from him.

"Have you been taking care of yourself? Shirabe says you don't come home much."

Shuuya: "Yeah."

"...I see."

Shuuya: "You... found it, huh?"

I put my fingers to the ring on my left hand.

"...Mhm. I found it when I left."

*Flashback*

I was packing some clothes because I would be leaving soon.

"Stupid Shu-chan... Risking your life for all this..."

Shu-chan and I fought over his plan to protect soccer. Our fight turned even into a bigger one when Shu-chan said he was going keep Shirabe with him.

I paused my packing and wiped some of my tears.

"...Didn't you say you'd always be with me? I want to always be with you but if you're risking your life to do this..."

*sniff*

I looked around our room, it was dark but I could still see everything. I looked towards the bed cabinet.

"Ah right my photo album should be in here..."

!

Ah... this is Shu-chan's side cabinet but...

"What's this tiny box doing here?"

I picked up the box and then opened it.

!

...There was a ring inside.

...Shu-chan, you really are an idiot.

I covered my mouth so it was hard to hear me crying. Then with shaking hands I took the ring out. I held it tightly in my fingers.

*Flashback end*

Shuuya: "I see... I was surprised when I saw you wearing it."

"...Are you going to tell me properly?"

Shuuya: "Eh?"

I clench the ring tightly.

"...Nothing is holding us anymore, right? Then..."

I slipped the ring off my finger and was about to turn around until...

!

I felt strong arms hugging me from behind. I froze.

"...Shu-chan?"

I couldn't his face but then again I couldn't see anything but the ring in my fingers.
