Summary: "I promise you to always be by your side… I promise to never hurt you… I promise to never let you down…" This was the promise Sho had made to Masaki. Seven years have passed since then and Sho knows positively that he still loves his partner more than his life. But sometimes life has unexpected surprises. Will he be able to keep his promise or not?

Epilogue
“She’s so beautiful Sho-chan!” Masaki said as he was looking at their daughter, after having brought her home for the first time.
“Have you decided on a name, my love?” Sho asked, as he kissed his husband’s forehead.
“Yes… Hikari!”
“I guess it suits her pretty well!”
The 3 month baby girl opened her eyes looking straight into Masaki’s. “Hika-chan… I’m papa Masaki and this is papa Sho… you should know that your papas love you veeeeeeery much! You are our light… my beautiful angel…”
................................................................
“Sho-chan?” Masaki had just come back from his work.
It was already two weeks since he started and he already had become the favorite teacher, among the children. Sunshine-sensei as the students was calling him, had found back his smile. It wasn’t just the fact that he had worked things out with Sho and with Jun. It was that he had found an extra reason to smile, a beautiful small reason to smile.
“Sho-chan where are you?” he asked again, this time being even more intense. He never felt at ease having Sho taking care of their little angel.
“Sho-chan… Don’t scare me like that!”
“In heeeeere!” a voice came from the bedroom.
Masaki pushed the wheels and opened the door to find Hika-chan on the bed, naked and Sho somewhere between diapers, talc and clothes.
“Sho-chan what happened here? Our bed looks as if bombs fell…”
Sho was sweating like crazy. “I… I’m sorry… Hika-chan… she was crying and I tried everything… I put her to sleep but she wouldn’t sleep, I tried to feed her, she wouldn’t eat… then I figured out that it was the worst…”
Masaki raised an eyebrow. “By the worst you mean poop right?”
Sho lowered his head. “Y-Yes…”
“First of all, couldn’t you just smell it?”
“But you know that I’ve had the flu and my nose is still not able to smell normally… It wasn’t my fault…”
“Fine… I accept that… but honestly…” Masaki came even closer “Tell me what the hell are all these? It’s just a diaper!”
Sho’s face had turned red out of embarrassment. Hika-chan was 8 months old and she would pass most of the days with Masaki or Jun. It was his first time to be alone and be in charge of a diaper. “I’m sorry…”
Masaki sighed. “Let me clean my hands first… I’ll do it…”
***
Five minutes later Hika-chan was all fresh and dressed, laughing at all the weird faces Sho was doing to her.
Masaki looked at them, smiling. “You are cute…”
“Only Hika-chan?” Sho whined.
Masaki came closer and pecked his husband’s cheek. “I meant you both…”
Hika-chan was already rubbing her eyes with her small hands.
“She’s sleepy…” Masaki said as he caressed softly the head of his daughter.
“Then what do you say we put her to sleep in her room and then go to ours? I can think of some activities to pass our free time in an interesting way…” Sho whispered in Masaki’s ear, sending shivers down the latter’s spine.
“Sho-chan! Stop being a pervert in front of Hika-chan!” He took Hika-chan from Sho’s arms. “Come here baby… papa Masaki will put you to sleep since papa Sho is being stupid again…”
Sho muffled a laugh as he saw the two loves of his life heading to the other bedroom. He knew that Masaki might complain like that but his flushed cheeks always gave him away.
I so love to tease you like that Masaki…
……………………………..
“Hello!!!” Nino greeted loudly as he entered Sho’s and Masaki’s apartment.
The couple exchanged bewildered gazes, not exactly understanding why Nino was there without having told them first and more importantly, without Jun.
“Nino-kun…” Sho tried to speak but the other had already sat on the couch and turned the TV on.
“I’d say to come here now!”
“What’s going on?” Masaki asked as he came closer to Nino. “Where’s Jun?”
“If you come here, you’ll understand everything!”
Sho shrugged and without uttering a single word went to sit next to Nino.
“Here it is!” Nino announced in an extra-enthusiastic tone.
“Here is what?” Masaki asked before losing his ability to speak.
His voice…
He turned his gaze on TV and watched a live connection to Jun’s drama school, where he was interviewed for being chosen the most promising new talent.
“Matsumoto Jun-san. You are only 22 years old and you have already received the best critics for your role of Marius in the last production of National Theatre of ‘Les Misérables’… How do you feel about that?”
Jun smiled and bowed to the journalist. “I’m honored that there are critics who found something in me. I always loved acting… There are precious people to me that sacrificed things so that I was able to continue my studies and be here today”
“I guess they are really proud now. But tell me, has this recognition offered you more chances?”
“The performances for ‘Les Misérables’ prolonged till the end of the season and I’m already discussing for a drama for the winter period. I can’t reveal much since it isn’t official yet but I believe that you will see me in your TV from this December…”
“That’s very good news Matsumoto-san. I wish you good luck”
“Thank you very much. Please favor me in the future as well” Jun bowed politely.
The journalist turned to the camera. “This was Tanaka Yoriko from Nakashima Drama School for NTV”
“You understand now?” Nino said, more than proud for his boyfriend.
Sho was left dumbfounded for a few seconds, before turning his head to Nino. “And couldn’t you just give us a call? You had to come here?” his tone being half serious half amused.
“And lose this?” Nino said as he pointed the sobbing mess that was named Masaki at the moment. “No way!” he laughed.
Masaki couldn’t even react to Nino’s comment. He was more than happy. He always knew that Jun was good but he couldn’t believe that he would get recognition so fast.
“I’m sorry… but I… he… deserves it… he’s passed through so much…” Masaki said between sobs and hic.
Nino smiled and hugged him. “I know Masaki-kun… I was kidding… I mean when he told me last night I was crying like a baby…”
“Nino-kun…” Masaki cried even more.
“He’s coming here!” Nino said after Masaki was calmer. “He wanted us all to be together…”
“We should celebrate, right Sho-chan?!”
“Of course Masaki!”
Masaki was already clapping his hands. “I know… we should open that expensive red wine! You had told me that you bought it for a special occasion… well this is a special occasion!”
Sho frowned. “But Masaki… This wine… I had bought it for us…”
“I thought that it was just the brothers that were sick romantic…not you too…” Nino said.
“And what is wrong with being romantic?”
“I didn’t say that is wrong… it’s just that…” Nino offended himself.
Masaki went between them. “Stop this out of point quarrel you two. If you wake up Hika-chan you’re both dead!” he said in the most serious tone, Nino had ever heard.
“YES! Mama Masaki!”
Masaki turned around and looked at Nino pouting. “I’m not his mama, I’m his papa and so it’s Sho-chan!”
***
For almost twenty minutes there was total silence among the three when the door’s ring was heard.
Masaki opened the door, revealing a grinning Jun. “Nii-chan!”
Masaki looked at him with teary eyes. “I’m more than proud of you Jun… Congratulations!”
Jun said nothing else. He fell on his knees and hugged his brother. “I wouldn’t be able to do it if it wasn’t for you... I…”
“You’re making a mistake here Jun… It was you that achieved this… you alone…”
“I’m sorry to interrupt but there’s a young lady who’s dying to see her uncle…” Sho said, holding Hika-chan in his arms.
“Hika-chan!!!” Jun took his niece in his arms and kissed softly the top of her head.
“You’re so beautiful… you know that? It’s a pity to wear this dress though sweetie… I guess Uncle Jun should go shopping for you… it seems like your papas have not the best taste in the world…”
“Yyyyy- yeeee- aaaaaaaa”
Everyone goggled.
“Did I hear well?! Hika-chan… Hika-chan just…” Masaki said gripping Sho’s hand tightly.
“... agreed with her uncle! But she has a point… grey over grey is just too much!” Nino commented as he sat back on the sofa, making everyone laugh.
“I guess it is time for the wine” Sho spoke as he headed to the kitchen. “Today my daughter spoke her very first word!”
He came back with the bottle and four glasses. “Did you forget something?” Masaki asked pouting.
Sho smiled and pecked his husband’s cheek. “I was kidding my love… Our daughter spoke her very first word!”
“Cheers!”
…………………………………………..
7 years later…
“This is a special place Uncle Jun?” seven year-old Hika-chan asked curiously.
They were all gathered in the hill, where Masaki had left their names on the trunk of that tree, years ago. Masaki and Sho wanted to renew their vows.
“For your papas yes… this is a very special place…” Jun said holding his niece’s hand.
“Do you have a special place?”
“Yes! Pink Rabbit!” Nino snapped before Jun was able to close his niece’s ears.
“NINO!”
“What?! Isn’t that hotel where we became one for the first time our special place?” Nino whispered in Jun’s ear, smirking, since he knew the other wasn’t able to react.

“Masaki, my love. I know I’ve made many mistakes in the past. I had made many promises which unfortunately I wasn’t able to keep. I hurt you but because of that pain, I was able to see things more clearly… I was able to appreciate what I would almost lose and change my priorities. It made me fight even more for the one I love the most in this world. I want to say that I’m grateful to the angel that made you cross my path that day at the university café… I couldn’t imagine my life without you… You have tolerated me even though I have many flaws, always passing by difficulties smiling. You should know that this smile made me smile as well. This time, in front of all our friends, I won’t make another promise… I just want to tell you that I love you from the depth of my heart… I love you Masaki…”
Masaki was watching straight in his husband’s eyes. It was true… they had passed through a lot of things… hurt, fear, angst… but then again they managed to get out of it stronger. They had almost become exactly like before. Three years ago, Masaki had traveled to the US and underwent surgery, restoring some of the nerves with the help of some tiny activators, implanted in his problematic area. He wouldn’t walk again in his life but at least it helped him have a much healthier sexual life.
Sho was scared but he had insisted. When he took in his arms his daughter for the first time and her tiny hand wrapped around his finger, he swore that he would do the best he could so that they would become a happy family. After all these years, they had found their balance, between work, Hika-chan and their own private time and Masaki couldn’t feel anything else but complete.
He took a deep breath before started speaking. “Sho… I’ve made many mistakes as well. I realized them and tried my best to change… for me, for you and for our precious daughter. I could never believe how lucky I was in my life… you’re my lover, you’re my friend, you’re my family. I know that life could be better but life could also be worse… so I’m grateful because even though we passed through a lot, God decided to keep you by my side. You said you have flaws but I have many flaws myself… I’m always energetic, I’m overreacting, I’m a cry-baby yet you say that I’m enjoying my life… that I’m being spontaneous… that I’m sensitive… Thank you for putting up with me… Thank you for being there… I won’t make any promises myself… I’ll just declare out loud that I love you… you’re my breath… you’re my everything… Sakurai Sho”
Everyone cheered and applauded as the couple kissed exactly under the tree that had been witness of their love.
This time together, they sculpted something new, something that would represent that new phase of their lives.
Promises might break but true love is unbreakable
Sho & Masaki
