I knew...Our love was not like the others... Because I knew our love was eternal...I know that we'll come looking for each other...even if it's in another life...

“I love you...” Izumi Kei said with tenderness while tearing up a bit as he looked into his partner's eyes.

“I know that idiot!” Yamada Kou, crying as he held tightly onto Kei's fragile hand.

Kei used all of his strength to laugh trying to brighten up the mood “Aren't you glad...?” He said as he wipes Kou's tears. “I can finally stop my sufferings...I can finally rest in peace and you can finally escape the society's criticism...You can finally go back to your parents...and you'll finally be free...” In a melancholic voice, Kei tried to convince his partner of four years that everything will end all well.

“But being with you is my freedom...I also don't want to go back to that hell! I'll visit and take care of you for the rest of my life if it can assure that you'll stay alive! Please! Kei...Don't leave me all alone... Don't break your promise...”

Kei just smiled bittersweetly, perhaps he was happy to hear this words, but at the same time he was afraid of leaving this sensitive, frail boy...

.

.

.

As the night came, Kou had no choice but to leave because visiting hours has already ended.

"I regret that I love you..."

The hospital room dark, empty and quiet, The lonesome boy muttered in remorse, tears fell down his pale cheeks.

.

.

.

.

.

‘Everyone meet your new classmate, Yamada Kou.’ The teacher said as she introduced the 14 year old boy. ‘Introduce yourself...’ She said.

Kou just stood in front of the classroom frozen and stone-like, beads of sweat rolled down his flushed red face...The young boy is scared of speaking infront of a large amount of people.

Suddenly a person laughed, two people followed it and just a few seconds later the whole room was echoing of laughter, He cried and immediately ran outside...What he was afraid of just happened...His new classmates laughed at him. "This is embarrassing" he thought as he was sitting by a bench still crying, his face buried in his palms.

‘Tsk. What a coward.’ Kei said, his chin resting in his palms while his eyes was fixated outside the window where Kou can be seen crying.

‘ARE YOU ALL LISTENING?!?!’ The teacher scolded the whole class for laughing at him.

.

.

💢(What came into my mind and I volunteered to get this coward back?!) Kei scratches his head out of frustration.

‘Oi loser!’ He called out to him, Kou immediately raised his head.

‘M-Me-Me?’ He stuttered while pointing at himself.

‘No I'm talking to the tree behind you!’ Kei said sarcastically and Kou didn't respond but look down...Kei threw a bottle of water he bought from the vending machine and sat down beside him ‘Listen...this is a prestigious boy's school do you actually think you can survive if you're a scaredy cat?!’

Again, Kou didn't respond but looked at Kei confusedly. ‘Are you a mute or what?!’

‘I-I-I'm no-not...’ He answered while trembling in fear.

‘Stop stuttering will you?!’ Kei raised his voice making Kou more nervous and eventually he started crying again making Kei panic. For once he was worried and felt pity on someone he is not well acquainted with. ‘Look los- I mean Yamada-kun let's go back to the classroom and maybe I can help you with your introduction...’

‘Tha-Thank you...’ Kou said while wiping his tears.

‘First! Stop stuttering! Do you have a disorder or what?’

.

.

.

Well, After that incident, Kou was glued to Kei, they would even walk home together, eat lunch together, study for exams and so on.

‘Then doesn't that mean you like her?’ The 16 year old Kou said. The both of them were alone, eating their packed lunch in the rooftop.

Flustered, Kei's face turned bright red ‘No I don't like her! What were you thinking?!’ He said bashfully.

‘But you said...that your heart races when you see her or even just hearing her name...you also feel uncharacteristically happy around her and all you ever think about is her and her happiness...’ Kou pointed out.

‘Tsk. I said I don't like her!’ (Besides it's a HIM!) He said and started eating his food aggressively, After finishing his food he stood up not waiting for Kou to finish his. ‘Don't talk to me! Don't come near me ever again! Avoid me! Ignore me! You got that?!’ Kei said and left Kou all alone in the rooftop.

Shocked, Kou didn't say anything nor did he move. 'Did I do something wrong?' was what he was thinking.

School ended and Kou ignored Kei just like what he asked him to (He really did avoid me...) Wanting to take his words back, he found himself standing infront of Kou's classroom door while watching him draw. (I do need space...If I don't stay away from him...I'm afraid I can't control my feelings...I also don't know if he's gay or not...) He left without hesitation, thinking that his annoying and clingy friend will finally stop pestering him.

...Or so he thought

💢‘Didn't I tell you to stay away from me! Do I have to repeat myself?!’ Kei said when he noticed that Kou has been following him.

Kou just smiled and shrugged ‘I don't think I can...’ he said warmly while scratching the back of his head.

‘Ha?!?!’

‘Well...First off...I can't focus on studying this afternoon because all I think about is you...Second off...I didn't really do anything I just answered your question...Third off...I just can't...I just can't avoid you! You seem to be my everything! You're my only friend and you're the only person who listens to me and my problems! And I feel like you can understand me! So please don't leave me alone and ask me to avoid you! Because I can't do that!’ He said, which made Kei's eyes widen and unconsciously he walked closer to Kou and hugged him.

‘Stop blabbering! Do you even know what the meaning of your words!’ He said all flustered, unpredictably, Kei seems to be easily nervous when it comes to this kind of things.

‘Kei-chin, your grammar is all broken...’ He giggled and hugged him back.

He pulled out from the hug and distanced himself and held both Kou's slim shoulder, He looked at him in the eye with pure sincerity and smirked like an idiot, he's so happy he can't even hide it ‘Listen to me Yams! Do you mean every word you said?’

He nodded not showing any sign of hesitation ‘I said it because I mean it...’

‘Okay...You won't take your word back right?!’ Kei said, seemingly jumping in joy.

‘...You're scaring me...’ he paused, thinking things out, Although he was sure of what his answer is. ‘no...I won't take it back... because like I said...I mean every single word...’ he added.

‘I won't apologize so don't blame me, okay...’

He leaned closer, Kou was bewildered of what his best friend is about to do, still he closed his eyes, He felt Kei's hand grabbed his small waist and instantly he opened his eyes in surprise as he felt the warmth of Kei's lips on top of his. He tried to resist and push him but infront of this blonde-haired boy he was powerless and helpless, knowing his faith he closed his eyes and kissed him back. (Does this mean the "girl" he was talking about was me...?)

The two felt as if time stopped...The only thing they can hear was each other's heart pounding crazily even their heartbeats and breathing are in unison and in rhythm.

.

.

.

Tired and exhausted from school, Kou threw his bag and sat on the couch.

It's been two days since he visited the hospital because Kei kept telling him to do so. But today was a little different...for him...that is, He seems restless than usual and his heart felt heavy for some reason. He kept looking around his once lively apartment.

‘What's for dinner?’

‘College is tiresome...I should've took a easier course.’

‘Attack! Cuddle time!’

‘Like I said! I'll only love you! So you have to do the same thing for me!’

‘Can't you wear a jacket or something?! Your clothes are too revealing!’

“I'm not a girl! Idiot!”

Kei's words kept echoing in his head repeatedly, he even started hallucinating all the times they were together inside this small apartment but was brought to reality when his phone started ringing.

“Mom...?” He mumbled trying to reach his phone from the coffee table, hesitant to answer the call, he finally swiped it. “He-Hello? Is something wrong...?”

“Kou...” Kei's mom suddenly burst into tears.

“Honey...Calm down...” Kei's dad was heard from the background. “Let me talk to him...” He said and took the phone “Kou...Remember to be calm...Stay in your apartment, we'll come and-”

Those words made Kou's heart sunk, he knew where this is going. His whole world falling apart, ignoring his sorroundings, his mind was blank and all he has in his mind is "I need to get there" so he stood up and wore his jacket, ran as fast as he could and slammed the door leaving his phone behind.

'Kou? Hello? Kou...'

"I have to see him...Even if it's the last time." He thought while crying.

It was snowing heavily today which made it harder to win, roads are also very icy and slippery, a fitting day for accidents.

“LOOK OUT!!!” A man yelled.

“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!” Kou screamed when he saw a a truck coming in his direction as he was about to cross the pedestrian lane.

‘GAHHHH!!!’

‘Call 119! Hurry!’

‘Tsk. Tsk.’

Was what he last heard as he tries to stay awake and keep his eyes open...His mind slowly blacking out, his body slowly became numb, his heart slowly stops beating, his oxygen slowly runs out.

"My hands are warm...Is it you...Kei-chin?"

'Although we didn't agree on anything...I know that we'll unconsciously keep looking for each other even if it's in another life...and...this time, I won't let you go...Trust me on this one...I know it because destiny has its eyes on us...'

Year 2035

.

.

It was spring season and the cherry blossoms are arguably beautiful this season... Maeda Haruki ditched his class to watch the falling petals and overall just relax. he went to his school backyard and laid on the ground slowly he fell asleep but was awoken when a paper landed on his face.

“What the...?” He mumbled and sat down and rubbed his eyes while clenching onto the paper tightly.

“Hey! Come back! Where are you?! Come back to your master! My precious drawing!” Satou Mizuki, worn out from chasing his drawing which apparently flew. He ran towards Haruki when he saw him holding a piece of paper.“Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!” He kept bowing.

“This is yours?” He asked and handed over the paper. “Not bad...” He complemented him.

“Thank you...I guess...” He laughed awkwardly, averting his eyes while scratching the back of his head...Indeed, the drawing was nicely done but the boy in the drawing was quite similar to Haruki...Too similar...

‘MAEDA!!! I SWEAR TO GOD! IF I FIND YOU I'LL CALL YOUR PARENTS!’

‘Satou-san! Please come back already! I won't force you to sing anymore!’

‘Oh! Shimizu-sensei! Did your student escape class?’

‘Hahaha he was embarrassed to sing infront of everyone so he ran outside...I'm guessing Haruki ditched class again?’

“Oh no...I-I have to go back...” Panicking, Mizuki bowed to say thank you, took his drawing and was about to walk away.

"I can't let him go..." Following his instincts, he held his hand to stop him. “Do you actually want to go back?” He asked, Mizuki shaked his head saying 'no'. “Let's go then!” He stood up and started dragging him and ran.

.

.

...It's only starting'

.

.

“You just saved me from the embarrassment!” Mizuki trying to catch his breath said. The both of them were in the old and shabby storage room which is not that packed.

“Oi!” Haruki called out to him and Mizuki looked at him, confused. “My name's Maeda Haruki from Class C... Let's be friends!” He introduced himself and offered his hands.

.

.

"This time...I won't let you go...So just hold onto me...tightly..."

.

.

Flustered, he shaked hands with Haruki “Sa-Satou Mizu-Mizuki...Class A.”

.

.

"This time...I won't let go...So don't let go of me..."

A/N: Hey guys!!! I'm so sorry if this is such a trash story😓 it's my first time to write a short story and I really don't know how to write one...Also I apologise for the repetition of words, grammar mistakes and misspelled words...

I am VERY VERY embarrassed about the kiss scene🤧 I asked my mom some phrases to add but she said "Why would you want that? Do you know it's rated PG?" Little did she know I do much worse than that😂😂 so yeah it's a bit cringeyyyyyyy...

...I'm 12 and English is not my first language, My vocabulary is also not that big😅 Please give me your HONEST opinion on this and I'll try to improve more! I'm also sorry if I didn't make you cry...I'm still practicing on how to manipulate people's feelings just by writing...This is not like the story but this was inspired by the fanfic "In another life by Little Luxray on AO3" It was such a masterpiece (u have to know how much I cried, BokuAka bby) if you have any questions just comment down below😆

Btw, I kept laughing midway writing this story 😂... because of the names...I swear it wasn't intentional I just did it unconsciously... If you didn't know "Kei" is Tsukishima's first name (Haikyuu!!) And he's ''bestfriend's'' last name is Yamaguchi which is quite close Yamada (and yes I ship Tsukkiyama, I stan Salt and Potato )

Which is also the reason why Kou's nickname was "Yams" because that's what the fandom mostly call him...

Anyways...If you didn't get it...Yamada Kou is Satou Mizuki in his second life while Izumi Kei is Maeda Haruki...

Thank you very much for reading!❤️🥺❤️
