▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

HOW NOSTALGIC it is to meet someone from the past. How many years was it when you've last saw Kazutora? You still remember when he protected your frail body from a bunch of gang. Kazutora knew he couldn't handle the beatings, fortunately Baji saw and saved the both of you. The two of you were still so young, it makes you feel sentimental.

But now Kazutora's infront of you and it made you nervous.

Meeting someone you've known but in the end you ghosted them, acting if they're not here. You despise it. You despise someone protecting you, it makes you guilty for their wounds.

Scars that will forever be with them, you don't know if they'll embrace it reject it for the rest of their lives.

You too have scars however you reject them. You can't accept it effortlessly.

"Hanemiya-kun," The teacher states, raising a hand towards the seat that was right next to yours. "Go ahead and sit right next to [last name]."

Kazutora gave a simple smile, "Of course."

The sound of his footsteps getting louder each step he takes forward by your place. For sure, your heartbeat was getting faster every moment.

Does he still remembers you? Of course he does. He couldn't stop thinking about you, even staying in jail. Did you miss him? Did you forget about him? You just couldn't forget someone you're close with, they were part of your memories.

Kazutora pulls out the chair from beside you and takes a seat, resting his palm on his face starting at you, a grin kept on his face.

It was kinda awkward, he was indeed staring at you. Drops of water slowly coming down through your face, your throat getting dry.

A clap can be heard, jolting you from your seat. "So! Today we'll be going back to our topic..." The teacher announces.

The young man beside you chuckles silently, you were still the same as before. You get easily frightened, that's why he kept on protecting you.

Writing words coming out from your teacher printing them on to your notebook for handouts, you had to study and review once you arrive back in your house. There Kazutora was, admiring your work out in the public. It was really obvious.

He wants to hear your voice. He wants to know if you're doing okay. He wants to talk to you. He wants to know if you're on his side.

"Kazu-chan is strong though," You pouted at the younger Kazutora. Both of you walking towards Musashi Shrine, where everyone is waiting. "That's because he saved me..."

Kazutora's eyes widen, his face getting flustered from your words. "Kazu-chan knows he couldn't do anything but still! You stuck by my side. Thank you, Kazutora-kun."

Long lasting memories will only be engraved in his mind. How innocent and naive you both were years ago. Playing nonstop, hanging out with the others, he wishes if he could just stay like that forever.

But now you both have matured.

The once bright light he had saw inside you had now started to burn out, he hates it. Seeing you vulnerable, no one protecting you. Talking about dreams and futures, he couldn't see those in you anymore.

"How long are you going to stare at me?" You gulp, asking at the man beside you not even bothered to take a glance at him. "You've been staring at me since morning. It's already dismissal."

It's not like you were annoyed but you are actually annoyed. You had a hard time concentrating during all of the periods, you don't even know if you wrote something wrong here and there.

"[name]-chan, do you miss me?" The first question he asks after not meeting for days and years. You kept silent as Kazutora places his seat beside your table.

He pokes his fingers at your cheeks, "Answer me."

You hate it, you hate it so much. Seeing him and acting like everything's still the same. You knew Mikey wouldn't still forgive him.

"Hey," Kazutora proceeded rest his face on the table facing at you. "Do you still remember where we slept underneath that tree? I miss it. Everything was bright and clear."

You had enough of it, "Why are you saying those things."

You don't wanna get emotional again, you've already wasted too many tears. You don't wanna break down especially infront of Kazutora.

Kazutora blinks, looking up at your face. "That's because I want to stay there forever... but I know that couldn't happen anymore."

"At least you're aware," You bluntly commented. "... Nothing can be the same, we're different from years ago."

A giggle came out from Kazutora, "You sure are right."

A moment of silence, both of you were sitting comfortably despite the fact that you both had met again after years. You could say you were both close before you decided to keep a distance. Innocent smiles, pure memories.

"[name], [name], [name]," Kazutora kept on stating your name, making you confused. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to say your name aloud." He blatantly replies, saying your name all over again and again.

A bothred look on your face, "Can you stop it."

"Not until you say my name," What a cheeky bastard he is.

You were doubting if you should call out his name or ignore him again, maybe walking out of the classroom but that'll only end up with a bad ending.

And so, you opened your mouth, calling his name hesitantly. "K-Kazutora..."

Hearing your voice made the young man made him feel relaxed. He could fall asleep by just listening your voice calling his name on repeat.

"[name], I really-" The sound of your phone ringing cut him off. Kazutora found it infuriating that someone disturbed his and your moment.

You took out your phone from your pocket, taking a look at who called this time of the hour. "Sorry, I have something to do."

Taking a stand from your seat and quickly gathering your things, before walking out from the school door, you gave Kazutora a word of an advice. "Be careful out there, Kazu-chan."

You left, making Kazutora being the only person inside the classroom. His face flushed, burying it onto your desk. He didn't expect that you were going to use the nickname you gave him.

Kazu-chan, Your voice played on repeat.

His heart beating rapidly. A teenager inlove without a doubt, he wants to stay with you forever. He doesn't wanna leave you alone, he'll hug you and give you kisses everyday.

'Until everything's at rest... [name] and I will live in a place where no one can find us...' Kazutora couldn't even wait that long.

He's Valhalla's Number Three, and he's acting like a hormonal teenager falling deep. There's no use to it, he is still inlove with you.

"God... stop making me feel this way.."
