"So....what do we do now?" Mitsuha asked looking around as the two exited the old store.

"Let's try that sto-" Taki began saying before his stomach spoke for him instead.

*Stomach Growls*

"We got our answer" Mitsuha chuckled along with Taki as the two exactly knew what to do next , the two started roaming around the mall in hopes to find a restaurant. It wasn't long before they found one too , a rather "cute" looking as what Mitsuha described it , the first time she saw it.

The two made their way in , finding an "couples" seat really easily , probably as it wasn't rush hour so the seats were fairly empty.

I can't do this anymore....being shy around Mitsuha. I wan't to just be with her and stop being weird , should i just ask it out? I mean i've already confessed but hell , can i just stop being awkward with her.

"Hey Taki , can i as...ask you something?" Mitusha said blushing and gently lowering her voice.

"Go right ahead" Taki said smiling.

"Did you...." She started.

"Hmm?" Taki questioned.

"Did you mean...what you wrote on my wrist that day?" she asked it out with whatever confidence she could gather at that given moment.

"Mitsuha....." Taki gently mumbled...

"I'm sorry , for putting you in such an awkward sit-" she was on verge on tearing down before Taki cut her off.

"Mitsuha , I meant each and every single word i wrote. I'll say it again , I know we just recently met again and stuff but , i still love you same i did or maybe even more now. That you're not out of my reach anymore...." Taki said the last line with his voice breaking up.

"Taki..." Mitsuha said as a tear escaped her eye , "I love you too....I just didn't wanted to make it weird , I...can't tell how.." she spoke what she could articulate , as the time passed. Her sobs would just not allow to speak her at all. 

Taki stood up from his chair and moved it next to Mitsuha then gave her a tight bear hug , "I know what you mean Mitsuha...I know. One thing's for sure, i'm not letting you go far from my anymore. Would you be my girlfriend Mitsuha?" Taki said stilling keeping hugging her.

Mitsuha's reply to that was to set herself free from his hold and smash her lips against his, which she was just trying to hold back since the day they met. The more they kissed , the more their mouth urged for it. Eventually the two were broken off their trance by the waitress bringing them their food , who was pretty embarrassed to walk in on the couple.

The two had their lunch and headed for what they left the house in first place , shopping.

"What do you think their clothes size is?" Taki asked as the two were browsing through the T- shirts on the rack.

"I'm pretty sure L should be enough for Hina and XL Should be enough for Hodaka" Mitsuha replied picking out a few T-Shirts. The two handpicked atleast 3-4 pairs of T-Shirts and shorts for each of them and after they payed for it , the two decided to go on a small walk before heading home.

"Mitsuha , you have no idea how much you mean to me. I'll show you that one day..." Taki said as the two walked along the path. Mitsuha was technically hugging Taki's arm at this point , the two didn't mind the showing affection in public. They both knew what they've went through to find each other again is just way too much for someone to understand.

"I just. Love you Taki...a lot!" Mitusha said before smashing her lips against his cheeks for a quick peck. The two , no longer tried to be shy to each other anymore. To them , they could finally be themselves...the ones they felt deeply in love with. 

"I know , let's go to a amusement park tomorrow along with Hodaka and Hina" Taki suggested.

"I think that's a great idea, i might have to head home after amusement park though. Got work day after tomorrow anyway" Mitsuha smiled.

"We'll see about that tomorrow ,  for now i just want to be with you" Taki said pecking Mitsuha's head.

"We're Back" Taki said opening the door as footsteps started making their way towards the door.

"Welcome Back!" Said Hodaka and Hina wearing a apron.

"Hina were you cooking again?" Mitsuha asked.

"I just started , oh wait I forgot something!!" she ran back into kitchen.

"I'll help ya" Mitsuha said removing her footwear and heading into bathroom to freshen up and change. 

"Were we able to help you two?" Hodaka teased Taki.

"You have no idea bud , i finally said what i wanted to say to her" Taki sighed.

"Annnnd?" Hodaka asked curiously.

"We both are a couple now" Taki replied smiling.

"Congratulations man!" Hodaka said offering a fist bump which Taki took no time to return.

After laughing and chatting over dinner and both Hina and Hodaka appreciating the new "cute" clothes , it was finally time to rest down. Mitsuha and Hina both shifted to bed while Taki and Hodaka both stayed down in futons.

As the light were closed , "Oh by the way , we forgot to tell ya" Taki said.

"Forgot what?" asked both the young ones curiously.

"We're going to the new amusement park tomorrow , don't oversleep!" Taki said smiling.

"Really!?" both of them said.

"Yeap" Mitsuha replied.

"Thank you!!!!!!!!" Hina said hugging Mitsuha tight as the sleep drifted in taking away the occupants in the room.
