Rumbling Hearts (君が望む永遠)

There you are.

Hey.

Come on. Let's go.

What is it?

Takayuki, are you sure you want to go to Koyou University?

Yep.

It's nothing but a glorified junior college!

What about Hakuryo.

My grades aren't high enough to stay here, man.

And I'm pretty burned out

on studying after twelve straight years.

A decision you'll live to regret, my friend.

All colleges are the same.

Some are just more expensive.

Mitsuki...

Hop out and hit the showers. We're done.

Hey, Mitsuki... want a towel?

Thanks.

I always just stand there with my mouth open.

Why do you do that?

You're such a good swimmer...

I know you'll be on a pro team someday.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for.

Yo!

Mitsuki!

I told you I'd find his lazy butt.

Takayuki? Shinji...?

I didn't expect to see you here on a Sunday!

Happy Sunday.

Yeah, why they got you working on the weekend?

Well duh...

We got a meet coming up.

You look ready for the challenge.

Of course, I am.

Stop hiding!

Hi... Takayuki... How are you?

Uh... I'm doing fine.

What's your deal?

It's not like he's gonna bite your head off.

On a weekend?

You came out to the school 'cause you forgot a book?

Even a genius makes mistakes sometimes.

And you dragged poor Takayuki along?

No way... He just followed me.

Liar! I was having a nice relaxing day

until you came along and ruined it.

Aw, nothing like watching a friendship blossom.

This is no friendship.

Shinji and I are in love... Didn't you know that?

Okay, you're grossing me out, man!

Stop trying to hide your feelings!

Dude, cut it out!

I feel like I need to take a shower now.

Please, Shinji, don't be so cruel.

That's enough, man!

Okay seriously cut it out, you guys...

You two need to work this out when you're alone.

Oh, give me a break.

You know...

This lifestyle... it doesn't offend me,

but you should consider being more discreet.

Discreet?!

Poor Shin has such an abrasive boyfriend.

Are you done?

You started the joke.

Yeah, I guess you're right...

I know if I get her too worked up,

she'll start throwing punches.

You watch your mouth.

And I hear she hits like a guy.

Uh, Mitsuki... Can we just go--

You better stop flapping those gums of yours!

I'm just sayin'...

I mean, look at those guns you got.

You're cut from marble.

A lot more than me or Shinji here,

and we work out almost every--

What's wrong with you?!

You apologize to me!

You got three seconds, buddy!

Three--two--one--Do it!

Wait, but you were the one who hit me!

Stop the violence!!

You're a dead man!

Hey, wait...

Where'd Haruka go?

I guess she must've headed on home.

Figures! You suck!

Ow...! What is your problem??!!

Do you need medication?!

Fine, run away!

Leave me here in pain!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

On the hill?

Yeah. Meet me there later.

I have to talk to you about something important.

Why don't you just talk to me now?

Because it's a private matter.

How important could it be?

Just be there, Takayuki.

Yeah, whatever.

Hello...? Wonderful. I'm early.

I wonder what's got her so worked up.

Could it be-- Maybe she has feelings for me...?

What are you doing here?

Um, hi, Takayuki.

Is Mitsuki with you?

No, she isn't... She wanted me to, uh...

Oh, I get it.

She must've told you to meet her out here, too...

Sneaky...

So... Is this your first time up here?

Yeah, it is.

It's got a great view.

You always did like this hill.

I knew... I knew that this was your favorite place...

You come here a lot.

Even before we met that first time at the bookstore...

I knew you, Takayuki.

You've never been a stranger to me.

Um, I, uh...

I like you!

I like you... I always have...

Will you go out... with me...?

Takayuki Narumi?

I don't know who you're talking about.

You should. He's in your class.

He has brown hair, hazel eyes...

No way! You like this guy!

You got a crush!

Mitsuki! I don't want anyone to know!

Your secret's safe.

But... You should tell him.

I don't think I'm ready for that.

You will be someday.

Oh... Haruka...

I-I don't know what to--I'm, uh...

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have opened my big mouth.

Well... I'm flattered.

Let's do it... Let's go out.

Thank you... that makes me so happy...

Yeah, I know, Mom.

I know. I'm eating fine. Healthy as a horse.

Would you stop worrying about me? I'm great.

Oh... I got another call...

Yeah, I'll call you back tomorrow...

Of course, I'll eat dinner. Bye.

Hello?

It's me. How'd it go?

Hey, Stealth Cupid. It was fine.

Kill the nonchalant attitude.

I want the dirty details.

Oh. Well, uh...

Hey, she was serious, you know.

I mean, I hope you don't think this is some big joke on you.

I don't.

Well, are you gonna go out with her or not?

Mhmm.

Really? Good... I mean... Great!

Yeah, that's... that's great.

But don't string her along? Okay?

Haruka is my friend, and I can't let her get hurt.

You make that poor thing cry

and you'll have to answer to me. Got it!

Yeah. Sure thing, boss.

I'm not fooling around, Takayuki.

Hurt her and you die.

Got it.

Yeah, I know...

I got it at that store by my house.

Is it any good?

Best video game I ever played!

That's for sure.

Hey, Takayuki...! I didn't tell you.

I picked up that new game, Infinitron, last night.

It's already out?

He was up until sunrise playing it.

Really?

But I only got to level two.

Your girlfriend's waiting.

She's cute. You two walk home together every day?

He sure does. Too bad, though.

I guess there's no Infinitron in your future today.

Sorry,... Loverboy!

What does that chick see in you...?

We're hotter, but she goes right for the skinny guy.

Yeah, what's your secret, skinny guy?

Hiro, let go of me.

Hold him 'til he passes out!

They were that excited over a video game?

Yeah. It's state-of-the-art in graphics and sound.

My computer wouldn't even run it.

I'd have to play it at Shinji's.

What about you? Do you like video games?

Not really. I like board games.

Oh. I guess that's cool...

Does that make me strange?

No... What do you spend your free time doing?

You have any hobbies?

No, I don't really do anything I'd call a hobby.
