This takes place two years before the canon.
It's something I made while waiting for my beta to show up and help me with Black and White.
I do not own Love Hina.

He came to forget:
He had to get out of the house with his parents constantly nagging about going to another college and his little sister trying to cheer him up.
He had to get away from it all.
So he took the first train away from Tokyo he could find.
But his parents voices kept ringing through his head and now she also started complaining.
And he came to forget so that's how he ended up here in Nagoya in a sleezy bar, drinking to much.

She came to forget:
Her beloved, her husband died during their honeymoon.
And she couldn't take it anymore so she left Kyoto to try and forget.
For over three months she hadn't been home to her mom and her sister.
For three months she had been travelling but still she couldn't forget.
That's how she ended up here in Nagoya in a sleezy bar, drinking to much.

They came to forget but would always remember:
He stood up a bit unsteady and walked to the bar to get another drink.
She was at the bar getting another drink.
Their eyes met and they instantly recognized each others pain.
After he got his drink and walked back to his seat, She followed and joined him in the corner.
No words where spoken but they didn't have too, their ki spoke for them.
One gentle and caring but loaded with a big sadness.
The other strong and beautiful but even more shrouded in sadness.

They ended up sitting next to each other for much of the night,
Quietly drinking and looking almost like statues for the other people in the bar but unseen their ki was touching and both felt it but where not objecting.
After several hours of sitting in peace and finding some comfort in each others presence they stood up at the same time and left together.
They walked to the same hotel and ended up in the same room.
But still no word was spoken.
And when they retired to their bed together still not a sound would be heard.
It wasn't perfect by all means but to them it was: They could forget even if it was for a short time.

The next morning they said goodbye without words.
They didn't have too, their Ki had spoken for them.
And they seperated without having said a word to each other and without knowing if they would ever meet again.
But at least they forgot even if it was for a short time, but would they forget each other?

I'm really not sure if this is going to be a oneshot, a standalone prologue or a short series written in the same style but in the mean time r&r and I hope to get back with the next chapter of Black and White soon
