"I can't just do that, Ayame." Turning away so they wouldn't kiss, Ren sighed. "That's all I've been doing. Thinking about the future - because that's all that really matters." He got up and wiped the sand away from his clothes; "I wouldn't even be here if I didn't think about the future as frequently as I do. I wouldn't be with you if I didn't." He couldn't stop talking, because the thought of Ayame's absence made him worry a lot more than it should.
Looking down at her, Ren put on a very serious expression. "The last thing I want is for you to lie to me the first hour we've even been together."

Hurt by the fact that he just rejected her kiss, she backed away, sitting legs crossed in the sand, and looking at him in bewilderment. "The last thing I want is for you to lie to me the first hour we've even been together."
The way he looked at her wasn't the way he did before. He didn't look angry or happy or sad. He looked afraid. It wasn't a matter of him being upset for leaving or lying, but simply being scared of something. She understood.
"Ren..." She stood up, pathetically coming up to just below his collarbones, and stepped towards him, putting her head against his chest. "Don't make me slap you again." she muttered, slowly putting her arms around his waist, worried that he'd just pull away.

"Do you think this is a joke?" Ren snapped as he pulled away from her embrace, no matter how much it hurt the both of them. "Slap me again, Ayame. Do you think physical pain can change anything? Do you actually think it matters?" He glared at her while slowly backing away. "The first time you slapped me all it did was bring more distance between us. Until this day, I still wonder why it was necessary for you to slap me like that. But I forgave you because I care for you, a lot." The amount of maturity and thought he put into his words surprised him.

"Well then thank you for forgiving me, but." she said, her voice shaking. So despite all of her attempts to bring him closer, she really just drove him away. She turned away from him and dropped to her knees in the sand. "Just look at us. Twenty minutes ago, we were kissing on a Ferris wheel and now we're fighting on a roller coaster."
Her shoulders shook as she held back sobs. "I love you, Ren, and I wouldn't take a ride like this for anyone else." She turned to look over her shoulder. "But can we just get off now?"

Ren didn't know what to do anymore. Go up to her and hug her like nothing happened - or continue to stay angry to stand up for what he truly felt. "I don't want to be in a relationship with a girl that's going to leave me later on..." Ren began to turn around slowly, not being sure if this is what he really wanted.
"I really do care for you, Ayame. More than any girl I know, but..." He looked back at her sadly. "I don't want to jump into a relationship I know I'm going to get hurt in." Ren has been hurt too many times to count. Was he running away again? Obviously. But no one can stop him this time; what he felt this moment was indescribable.

He was calling it off already? Or was he realizing that maybe he just didn't want to be with her at all? Either way, Ayame just stared at him, with whirlwinds of emotion twisting around inside her.
"I really do care for you too." she whispered. "I waited ten years for you, and came to this school to see you again." A pained smile appeared on her face. Her eyes were still dry, and her voice was still clear. "I'd risk being shunned by my family just to stay with you."
The grin turned to a frown, and her eyes reddened. Was he even worth the tears anymore?
"But if you didn't want to be with me, Ren," she said coldly, standing up defiantly and walking up the beach past him. "that's all you had to say."

"No." Ren said as he held her hand as she stood beside him. "If I didn't want to be with you, I wouldn't be here." He muttered as he looked down - turning red as he was trying to admit all that he was feeling. "I'm just scared of what I'll do when you leave me." Ren's eyes were tearing up a bit, trying his best to hide them. He looked at her, trying his best to say the last sentence.
"...Like my parents did..." He covered his face with his hand while he was still holding her wrist. "When they did, I don't know how long I've suffered depression. I think I still am, honestly." He smiled weakly, realizing how pathetic he was. "Imagine what will happen if I lost you?"

"I'm just scared of what I'll do when you leave me." "...Like my parents did..."
His parents...left. That's why he got so mad. That's what they did that made him so angry and so hateful of everything and everyone. Suddenly, Ayame hated those people. Rage writhed in her chest.
"Imagine what will happen if I lost you?"
"Ren..." she said softly. There were tears in his eyes, something she never thought she'd ever see. She moved his hand away from his face and wiped his eyes. "I'm not going to leave you." she said firmly. She moved long strands of hair out of his eyes and looked at him, who he really was. All she could see was that boy who fell and scraped his knee that day.
"I love you." she said. "I'm not going to leave you ever again. Not for anything. This is my life, and spending it with you is all I want. I don't need revenge. I don't care what anyone thinks. I don't want you to be in pain anymore. I don't want you to be alone anymore. I don't want you to cry." Tears started tolling down her cheeks, and she couldn't get anymore words out. Hopefully what she just said was enough.

Ren held her around her waist and smiled slightly. "Don't you go crying too, idiot." He sighed and kissed her forehead lightly, not knowing what to say next. "I guess I can trust you.." He laughed quietly, "Just promise you won't.. leave, alright?" It seemed like Ren was trusting her with everything he had, and even though it was 'risky', he knew that Ayame wouldn't betray, or backstab him no matter what.
"I love you too, alright?"

"I promise!" she said, laughing through her tears. And it was the truest promise she'd ever made. Her mother and Ryouya probably would have wanted for her to spend her life with Ren, not risking her life to avenge their deaths, which couldn't be reversed either way.
"I love you too," she replied, pulling away just enough to turn and look at the ocean. It ebbed and it flowed, and no matter how long you stared, it didn't get old. "Hey, when we're older, we should live near the ocean." she said happily, turning back to him, getting up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek.

"Hey, when we're older, we should live near the ocean." Ayame seemed really happy, and in return that made him happy as well. "I'd like that." Ren replied simply as he smiled when she kissed his cheek. Hoping that there won't be anymore difficult obstacles that will tear them apart, he sighed and hoped for better and more wonderful days together.
