Chapters are never meant to be read again, just left behind with their memory imprinted like an oath of the heart, so why did you two keep running into eachother?

it’s been 7 years since your worlds came tumbling down, he was adopted, chosen, and you watched him leave.

it’s been 5 years since you were found and taken in by a man whom you could’ve sworn fell from heaven. Oda Sakunosuke.

it’s been 4 years since you joined the detective agency after your stubborn refusal to further your studies, you were smart enough.

The moon hung over like a silent promise, the night’s opaque curtains have been cast on the earth long before, the bustling city had quieted down, but between you two, it was the pure opposite.

It was static, a spark waiting to burst forth into its truest form.

Here he stood, the boy whom you cared for, thought of every day, loved.

But now, he’s different, no longer the timid, naive boy.

Wrapped in a dark coat like even the night worshipped him, eyes half-lidded and devoid of everything you once knew, hair trimmed, his signature side piece bang no where in site.

But he was your Atsushi, that you were sure of.

You weren’t suppose to be here, it was against mafia and agency rules, anything could happen the moment he opened the door, but he did anyways.
