Summary
Title: Shota Oni
As the sun set on the quiet town, Tsubaki stood outside Yuu's high school, heart pounding with determination. He had grown taller and stronger since the incident that scarred Yuu's face, but the guilt still lingered in his soul. With a deep breath, Tsubaki stepped forward, ready to face his best friend.
Yuu turned around, caught off guard by Tsubaki's sudden appearance. His eyes widened in surprise, then softened with recognition. Before Yuu could speak, Tsubaki blurted out, "I'm sorry, Yuu. I will always protect you, no matter what."
A mix of emotions flickered across Yuu's face - surprise, confusion, and something else Tsubaki couldn't quite decipher. Then, with a small smile, Yuu reached out and ruffled Tsubaki's hair. "You've already grown so much, Tsubaki. But you don't have to bear this burden alone."
Tsubaki felt a weight lift off his shoulders, replaced by a warmth he had longed for. As they walked into the fading light together, Tsubaki realized that true strength came not from physical power, but from the bonds of friendship and forgiveness that he and Yuu shared.
