It was summer… the warmest time of the year, where grass was a more vibrant shade of green, where the sun rays at you wherever you may be, where the breeze softly ruffles your hair. This season is typically loved by many. It was loved by you. Walking hand in hand as you spoke about how much you loved this time of the year, and every time you did I couldn’t help but look at you and think how much I loved you, as you looked at me with so much gleam in your eyes as you happily spoke about what you loved. I, on the other hand, never liked summer—it was too hot. The light from the sun angrily aims its rays at you, as you can barely see whilst the heat is drowning you from sweat. I hated summer, but I came to like it because you did. Every summer time we came to this small hill. It wasn’t far to the point where it was too quiet, nor was it too loud either. You can still hear the trains, and the cars passing by. The tree formed a perfect shade for us to sit under as the wind was blowing just right–you loved it, and I loved you.

It was fall… It had turned a lot colder than you’d imagined. The leaves were auburn as they fell to the ground, everything looked a lot more orange, red, and brown, no hint of green ever since summer had passed. You loved the idea of fall, just not the cold and flimsy weather that kept messing up your hair due to the rain. Fall was my favorite season, the coldness was just right as I typically am rather fond of the rain. It gave me a reason to stay inside with you, as we slept through the rain in each other's arms. The raindrops formed a euphonious melody outside. The blanket provided us the right amount of warmth, as you laid in my arms and everything was just right–I loved it, and you did too.

It was winter… the snow poured in, as the time of our favorite season has come. The season of joyfulness and holidays. I loved the cold, and you loved the snow. You loved Christmas music, and I loved hearing you sing it. I loved hot chocolate, as you loved the little marshmallows on top. You loved building gingerbread houses, as I loved eating them. You loved receiving gifts, and I loved giving them to you. You loved Christmas, and I just loved you. I decided right then and there, New Year was when I was gonna propose to you, and I bet you’d love that too.

It was spring… gardens were in full bloom, as the flowers in my hand were too. It was the perfect weather. The breeze blew just right, as the pink tinted leaves fell gracefully; it looked like a scene from a movie. I loved meeting you by our spot, as it reminded me of the memories for when I fell for you first spring. Up on this small hill are the memories of all the seasons I loved you. Every conversation we had filled with all the things we both loved, and I loved you the most. The blooming blossoms landed perfectly alongside you. I sat beside you as I took out the small box from my pocket, as I placed it right by your grave. You loved the idea of marriage, as I just loved the idea of being with you. I would’ve loved to marry you, and I bet you would’ve loved it too.

“COMFORT”

‼️ANGST‼️

this is my first fic and its very rushed so :’(

I looked at passerby as I continued to make my way home, something I couldn’t even call mine anymore as it felt like nothing but an unfamiliar melody. The air felt heavy, every time I breathed, I felt my lungs grow full of water instead of air. “I should move back to Sendai”, I thought. Tokyo was a beautiful place but a change of pace would be nice.

I made my way back to my apartment as I dropped my groceries on the floor, laying on the pile of clothes on the floor. My house was nothing but a mess. I could feel myself getting drowsy, slowly my eyes shut—not too long after my doorbell rings, “Yuuji!” I said happily jumping into his arms. “Heyyyy!” He smiles happily, scoping the scenery behind me, he frowns. “How long are you gonna live like this?”, “For as long as I can move on.” I buried my head into his chest, as he rubs my back for comfort. “I missed you, where have you been?” he lets out a soft laugh, “Sorry, Gojo kept us for a long time. He says the longer we stay the more disciplined we get..whatever he means..😒” he scoffs then he puts his hand to his head and smiles, “We have an upcoming mission, so that's probably why.” Whenever Yuuji has a mission my heart drops as he would come to my house looking like he’s on the brink of death, yet smiles at me and asks if there’s anything to eat. During those times I could only give him a teary-eyed smile back and say there would only be ramen, and he’d say “That’s perfect”.

“You just bought groceries? Does that mean we're eating good tonight?” He gleamed happily, I let out a giggle and said “Of course, gourmet even.” We made our way inside my house, it was kind of embarrassing to show him such a messy home yet knowing him he wouldn’t have a care in the world. “How have you been doing, pretty?” He says laying his arms on the other side of the counter, as I prepared the ingredients on the other side. I closed my eyes and smiled, “Well, as you can see the state of my home—I’ve been doing amazing!” I sarcastically said. “That’s why I’m here to make it even better.” His hands make their way to my waist and lay his head on top of mine, “Would my lady be interested in having a little date today?” I could feel my ears get red, as I tried my best to focus on cutting onions in hopes I wouldn’t cut myself. “Do you even need an answer to that?” He chuckles in response, “I know you need a change of pace, my love. Just relax today.” He kisses my cheek, “If you need any help let me know.” I hummed in response as I continued to focus on cooking. His footsteps got farther as I could hear him open the bathroom door, aaand…close. I stopped cutting onions and jumped in glee. I put my hands to my face, feeling the extra warmth of it. I practically screamed internally. “Oh! I should probably finish cooking before he comes out!” I thought as I rushed to finish.

“Hey pretty, ya’ done yet?” He grins, “Yup!”, “How about I go pack up this food and let's go out for a picnic, yeah?” I smiled shyly, “Sounds good to me!”. We made it under a perfect tree that covered us with the right amount of shade, all of a sudden the air that was once thick finally lifted and gave me a breath of fresh air, and he was what made it better. We laid out the blanket, and the food. I couldn’t help but take a picture to capture this moment, showing Yuji in the frame. His hands laid on top of his legs as it showed him intaking the scenery, his face wasn’t in the picture yet it was the best one I had taken in a while.

The entire day was perfect, I had forgotten all my troubles having his hand in mine. It was as if the silence had finally been lifted with nothing else but our laughter. Catching up on the things him and I missed while he was away. The moon illuminated our pathway back to my apartment, we giggled like we were children again back in Sendai. His pinky intertwined with mine as we walked slowly down the pavement. “I had a lot of fun today, Yuuji.” He smiled widely, “I'm glad! Hopefully you forgot about everything and will move on forward after this.” He stops and smiles gently, “—Wouldn’t want my pretty girl to always be sad now.” With my face flushed I didn’t even realize we were finally home, “Can’t you stay for the night?” He sadly smiles, “I wish but I have training tomorrow, pretty.” He caresses my cheek, “I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep.” I lit up in delight, “Really!?” I smiled widely as I hugged him tightly. I quickly went to go prepare for bed before he could say anything, he giggled and closed the door cleaning a few things up while I skipped my way towards the bathroom.

He laid in bed with me playing with my hair, humming a tune. “Oh I almost forgot, I think I lost my phone in your house—”, he frantically looked through his pockets searching for his phone “—Could you ring it for me, pretty?” I nodded my head, grabbing my phone and searched the ID caller, ‘Yu Yu 🤍’ my phone vibrated as it rung, bringing it up to my ear, yet it went straight to voicemail, you called, and you called yet the call went straight to voicemail “Baby, did you pay your phone bill?” You looked up at nothing but an empty room, you looked around in confusion, “Yuuji?” You called out his name yet all you were met with was silence yet again. You frantically looked for him around your house yet it was empty. You stopped to look at your front door…shoes…there was only one pair. You dropped to your knees, as tears welled up in your eyes. Bringing your phone back up against your ear as it rang..and it rang..and it rang. “Sorry, your caller could not be reached at this time—“ you looked down at the ID caller, bringing down your phone and opening your photos app. The photo you took earlier during the picnic, surely he was there—yet you were met with nothing but an empty sky. Memories started flooding back as to why you were in the state you were at in the beginning

riiinggg…riiiingg..

Your phone rang. Not even looking at the ID caller in hopes you picked up wishing it was Yuuji, though you were met with a womans voice. “(your name)?” It was Nobara, “It’s been 5 months, how long are you gonna stay there?” I leaned my head against the wall, I couldn’t answer her. “Yuuji is gone! When are you gonna move on?!” Silence. Nobara stayed silent as well for a while until she finally spoke up “He was my best friend too, y’know? Knowing him he wouldn’t want you to stay in that hell of a place you have!” She screamed “He would want you to move on—“, “What the hell is it with you and moving on?!” I cried out, not being able to hold it back any longer, “I fucking miss him! I couldn’t even say goodbye! How am I supposed to move o—“ I stopped, as I realized. I hung up the call with Nobara as I couldn’t contain my tears any longer. 5 long months of having him gone, this was the first time I finally cried. “Today..”, “You appeared in my dream to spend one last moment with me, didn't you?” because you couldn’t say goodbye, because I couldn’t move on. The closure you gave me, I could only smile bitterly with tears streaming down my face. “You said you would wait until I fell asleep, Yuuji.”
