Title: Love which surpass time
Chapter 3: Just want to leave you
Shusei's POV
It was around midnight when I left as I took quite a while packing my belongings. And I was so glad that Hotsuma and the rest did not come and knock at my door. As quiet as I could, I made my way to the metal gate. Placing my hand on the gate for a while, I asked myself once more whether I really wanted to do this. After hesitating for a while, a bitter smile appeared on my face.
Shusei, since you had already made this choice: to leave the Twilight Mansion, to leave Hotsuma, don't change your mind at this point of time. I chided myself and lifted my hand to push the gate. But before my hand got into contact with the gate, someone had grabbed my hand.
"Where are you going in the middle of the night with a suitcase, Shusei?" It was Hotsuma who was calling out to me, I knew it from the moment he touched my hand.
"…" Instead of responding to his question, I just stared at his hand that was covering mine.
"Have-have you remember the memory of the past life when you were a girl?" There was some hesitation in his voice.
"Just leave me alone," I begged.
Then, Hotsuma remembered when Shusei had died in that past life, she said, "You don't love me, Hotsuma! To you, the most important person is …not me but Yuki."
"Is it because of Yuki?" Hotsuma made a guess.
"…"
"Don't run away, Shusei! No matter whether it is in the past or the present, the feelings between us will never change," Hotsuma shook my shoulder.
"Never change? It means that in your heart, I will never be the one you love," I chuckled.
"What do you mean? Besides you, Shusei, there is no one else will I open my heart…"
Before Hotsuma could finish his words, I cut him off, "Don't lie! In that past life when I was a girl, you had also said that. But I can feel that I am not the one you love. You only…love Yuki," I hesitated at the last part but nevertheless, I screamed it out.
"It's not like that," Hotsuma retorted, then his eyes widened with disbelief, "Have-have you decided…not to become a girl again after that life because of this reason?"
"…"
"Don't you dare to keep mum about this! Tell me your reason!" Hotsuma grabbed Shusei's collar.
Looking straightly into Hotsuma's eyes, Shusei said, "That's right! It's what you have thought. Actually, I have forgotten all about that life after so many times of reincarnation. Just because of the stupid 'Dear, I love you' which caused me to remember everything of that past life including the agony and misery…Now, I just want to leave you as I could no longer bear to feel the heartache and sadness of not being the one you love. Please let me go, Hotsuma. Let me be spoilt for a while," I removed Hotsuma's grasp on me.
Hotsuma's POV
No…,cannot let him go. Panick struck me and before I realized what I was doing, I pulled Shusei into my embrace. And before Shusei could react, I pressed my lips onto his. Shusei tried to push me away but instead of loosening my grasp on him, I pulled him deeper into my embrace. After struggling for a while, Shusei gave up….and soon the kiss ended…
Shusei's POV
"I know about the past life of you being a girl all along. I didn't tell you or do anything which will trigger that memory because I know that you want to forget about it. Yet, I neglect about the possibility of you remembering about it because of that four words. Shusei, I did not lie to you. You are the only one I love as a lover while Yuki is family who I have to protect. What are family and lover? I guess I can differentiate between them very clearly. So, please don't leave me, Shusei," Hotsuma panted.
"Can you let go off me, pervert?" I mumbled.
"Then, you will not leave?" Hotsuma's eyes brightened with happiness.
"I-I won't leave already! Go away!" I started hitting him with my fist to hide my anxiety.
"Haha, when you were a girl, you used to do this," Hotsuma chuckled.
"Sh-shut up!" I used more force to hit him but that only drew more laughter from him. Maybe after many reincarnations, I will still remember the agony and misery I had experienced in that life but right now, I just wish to cherish this love which surpass time…
