Chapter Text
Hope was looking through some documents in his study when he felt his phone vibrate in the pocket of his pants.
He took it out and saw he had a new message. A smile touched Hope’s lips when he saw who it was from.
Lightning.
She wrote what her train was getting close to the station and what she would be here in an hour.
The young man quickly wrote a reply and after sending it, he placed phone back in his pocket. Then, he grabbed his car keys, closed his house, went to his garage, sat in his car, started the engine, and drove to the train station to meet Lightning.
It had been two months since all of them had been reborn in the new world and all of them had already met with one another except Lightning. Until now, they had kept in touch thanks to messages and letters, but today Hope was going to see her in person.
And he was excited and nervous because of thought at seeing Light again. He couldn’t wait to see her.
It took Hope forty-five minutes to reach the train station. He found out on which platform the train would be arriving, and began to wait.
And fifteen minutes later it arrived. The train stopped, the door opened, and Lightning steeped out, holding her suitcase. She looked around, saw him, and smiled.
Hope felt butterflies fly in his stomach and his heartbeat quicken at the sight of her smile. It was beautiful and breathtaking.
And directed at him.
Hope had feelings for Lightning as long as he could remember. First, it was a crush and then it turned into love. But he couldn’t confess. First, he was younger than her, then she disappeared, then it was end of the world and he was controlled by Bhunivelze. So, there weren’t many opportunities to confess.
But now they are reborn in new world. One, without gods, magic and crystals. And maybe one day Hope would be able to confess.
But for now…
“Light!” Hope ran to Claire and hugged the young woman. “I’m so happy to see you. “
“Me too,” the ex-warrior broke the hug. “Let’s meet with others?”
“Yeah,” Hope agreed and the pair went to his car, placed Claire’s case into its trunk, and got into car, Lightning sitting beside Hope in the passenger’s seat. Then, Hope started the engine and they drove off from train station to meet their friends.
…he would enjoy a new life with Claire.
