A Kagerou Project One Shot
Somewhere along the line, Kenjiro starts remembering. It's not much, and it's only snippets, but he knows this has happened before. Today, it's early in the day when it hits him, the clock showing off on another August fifteenth for who knows what time.
Sometime in the past, he thought about it for a bit, and realized it's because the Snake remembers that he does. And, so, it's only going to be a few hours before Kenjiro needs some sleep and the snake takes over and starts the whole thing over again.
But until then, Kenjiro can at least attempt to get a few words in. In the past, he'd try to put a stop to it. That never ended well. The Snake just laughed it off. There's nothing that Kenjiro is capable of doing that will stop August fifteenth from coming again. So, instead, it's better to go for something else.
Three years ago he died. Three years ago he lost Ayaka. Two years ago he lost Ayano. But still, three years ago, on this day, he was brought back to life.
"Happy birthday," he murmurs, "Partner."
Inside of him, the Snake scoffs, the sound mixed with a hiss. You're an idiot.
Short little thing I wrote 'cause I woke up this morning, remembered it was August fifteenth, realized that it's technically Kuroha's birthday, wanted to write something, thought of something for Kenjirou and the Clearing Eyes Snake first, had a happy moment 'cause I melt when characters refer to each other as Partner/Aibou, and decided to post.
Kagerou Project has been a giant part of my life. Thank you, Jin.
Happy Kagerou Day.
Thanks for reading.
