Requested by MIUUZICK

A soft chilly breeze swept across the already cold winter air as you walked down the crowded street. It reminded you of your heart, of how cold it was.

Let's just say you kept your walls high. You were infamous for not talking to anyone or being too friendly.

Everyone got out of your way and didn't bother being nice to you. Even the Christmas season couldn't stop all the looks and stares you got.

Christmas didn't even matter to you. You had no one to share it with. No family or friends.

You told yourself you didn't deserve friends. You didn't need them.
But yet deep down inside you needed someone to love.

You felt tears roll down your cheeks and you hastily wiped them away.

Thud!

You accidentally ran into a person and you got knocked back.

"..ah sorry."

You widened your eyes at the person before you.

It can't be...

"F-fuyu-kun?"

The blonde, freckled faced teenager narrowed his eyes.

"First of all, watch where you're going! Second, how in the h*ll do you know my name?" His hands clenched into fists, ready to take a swing.

"I-I..um I.." You stuttered, your brain not processing what to say. The words seemed to be stuck in your throat.

"ANSWER ME IDIOT!" He yelled.

"Please Fuyu stop." You whimpered.

"Stop calling me that stupid nickname!" He attempted to punch you-

"Master? Who is thi-" A gray haired female appeared from behind him, preventing him from picking a fight.

You knew that ash gray hair anywhere

"P-peko?"

"Y/N?"

"What is going on?!" Fuyuhiko yelled again, wanting some answers.

"I didn't think you would actually show your face again. After what you did." Peko snarled.

"Peko please. I didn't mean too! I promise! It was a mistake!"

"It doesn't matter anymore Y/N. You tried to interfere with the clan once." Her glare seemed to look straight through your soul. "I won't let you interfere again."

She grabbed Fuyuhiko's arm and pulled him away.

"What are you doing? Peko! Let me the f*ck go! PEKO!"

You stared at Peko drag Fuyu away as you stood there, frozen.

Fuyu.....

You suddenly remembered why you were so cold in the first place.

(A long time ago)

"Y/N...I love you. I haven't wanted to say it before because I was too afraid but now I want to say it because you are the most amazing person I have ever met and I know I'm not your ideal guy but-"

You put a finger over his lips.

"Fuyu-kun, ever since I have met you, you were always there for me. Funny. Smart. A little rough around the edges but cute at the same time." You looked at him with the utmost admiration. "I love you too Fuyu."

You shyly kissed him, closing your eyes.

His lips were slightly chapped and tasted like honey.

You pulled away as he didn't seem to respond to the kiss.

"Are..you okay?......I'm sorry. Is it too soon?"

He looked flustered, his face beet red.
"I-I'm fine...it's just I wasn't expecting you to do that."

"...Well I did."

"Do it again."

You obliged as you touched your cold lips to his warm ones.

"FUYUHIKO! Come here!" That voice belonged to none other than Fuyu's father.

The kiss was abruptly interrupted as Fuyuhiko gave you an "I'm sorry" look. He ran to his father, still flustered from the make-out session.

You knew his father wouldn't like that you two were together. You knew he was in the mafia and was quite aware of the dangers of being love with the heir of the Kuzuryuu clan.

You loved him. You didn't care if he was apart of the mafia. He was still the kind-hearted person you always had known.

You watched from afar as his father scolded Fuyu.

You saw him give you a side glance.

You sadly smiled.

He walked away with father, smiling back at you.

He mouthed: "meet me at the tree."

You nodded and turned away.

You were determined to make this relationship work.

You had an idea

The crickets chirped loudly as the sun sank into the dusk sky.

You awaited Fuyu at the tree.

The tree was special to you and him.
It might just be a willow tree in the middle of the park but you two always met under it secretly at night when you needed to talk.

"Y/N!"

You heard your love shout and you stood up, looking around to see where his voice came from.

You suddenly felt him behind, wrapping his arms around you. His nose nuzzled you on the crook of your neck.

"Fuyu..stop." You slightly chuckled, turning around to face him.

".....Y/N...we need to talk." His voice suddenly took a more serious tone.

"W-what is it Fuyu?"

"My father..doesn't want me to see you again."

Silence filled the cool night air.

"What? Why?!"

He looked solemn. "I think you know why. My father has already engaged me to someone else."

Tears spilled from your e/c eyes as you hugged him, almost afraid to let go.

"Y/N....I don't know what to do. I'm afraid." His voice sounded shaky, like he was crying too. "I don't ant to be apart of the clan. Not if it means losing you."

"I have an idea." You whispered.

"What?"

"I have a plan." You said, pulling away from him. "What if we ran away?"

"Ran..away? Are you crazy?"

"That's coming from a future clan leader." You muttered. "But if we run away we can be happy. Together. I know an abandoned house in the woods that we can reside in for now."

"Y/N...are you sure this will work?" Fuyuhiko asked you.

"I'm certain Fuyu." You reassured him. "As long as we don't get caught we will be fine."

You kissed him gently.

"Ok. Let's do it." He nodded.

"Good. I have brung this," you held up a backpack full of food and supplies, "this will satisfy us for a few weeks or so."

"Alright. Lead the way."

You both sneaked out of the town and ended up at the promised abandoned house where you believed that you could escape both of your problems.

But you knew deep down that you could never truly evade it.

That was confirmed when you heard Fuyu scream from inside the house as you were gathering firewood.

"Got ya! You little brat."

You rushed inside and saw a big scary looking man beat up your lover.

"FUYU!" You screamed.

The man scowled at you, ready to knock you out as well.

But before he could he collapsed on the floor.

Peko stood behind him, holding up her katana in her hands.

"Peko!" You sighed in relief.

She didn't even glance at you as she checked to see if Fuyuhiko was alive.

"Good. He's not dead." She looked up at you with fiery eyes."HOW could you?!"

"What?!"

"You thought that running away would keep him with you? You are selfish and ignorant! You only think about yourself and not of the safety of Fuyuhiko." She yelled at you.

"I-I'm sorry!"

"Never and I mean never come near our clan again." She picked up Fuyuhiko and walked away.

You collapsed on your knees.

What have I done?

A day later you found out that Fuyuhiko had amnesia.

He doesn't remember me...

I guess..I deserve it.

This is why..I can never let someone close to me.

I'll just hurt them.

Like Fuyu.

(Back to the present)

You wanted that memory to go away. So desperately. But it always came back to bite you in the end.

It would forever haunt you and slowly eat away at your sanity.

You decided to walk to the park, looking for the tree.

And there it was. Shining beautifully in the light of dusk.

As it always has.

"Hey!"

You tried to turn around but as soon as you did you got pinned to the tree.

You were face to face with him.

Fuyuhiko.

"Fuyuhiko? What are you doing here?"

"No nickname this time?" He growled. "Good. Now, tell me because Peko won't. Why in the f*cking h*ll does she hate your guts?"

You sadly smiled.

"You have forgotten."

"Forgotten what?"

"That you have loved me."

" I think I would know someone like you idiot."

"No. You had amnesia."

"...amnesia?"

"Yes. You don't remember me. And it should stay that way." You whispered.

"No! Tell me! What happened in my past that I have forgotten?" He urged.

"...look at the tree. Do you..remember anything about it?" You suddenly asked.

He looked up at the tree for a few seconds.

"No. I don't."

"Just...look a little harder."

"What am I supposed to remember from this tree anyway?"

"We met here. Some nights when we were lonely and needed company. It was for secrecy so your father wouldn't find out."

He looked up at the tree again.

"I...don't remember that."

"This tree holds so much memories. We became friends under this tree, laughed under this tree, joked, and kissed under this very tree." You sobbed. "You just don't remember."

"That doesn't tell me why Peko hates you."

"She hates me for a good reason. I made a stupid decision and dragged you along, not thinking about your safety. An enemy of your clan found us and attacked. That's why you have amnesia."

His eyes seemed to be troubled. He wanted to remember. But he couldn't.

"I'm sorry....I don't remember."

"Of course you don't." You weakly smiled. "It's better that way."

"How can you say that? Don't you love me?" He stared at you intensely.

"Of course. But our relationship will never work out. So it's better like this. You having no feelings or memories of me. So that you can achieve your dreams and goals for the clan." Your eyes betrayed your words, spilling tears over your soft cheeks.

Fuyuhiko wiped away your tears with his fingers gently.

"Fuyu?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

He stayed silent.

You nodded and broke away from his grip.

"I understand. I'll get going now."

He stood there, by the tree as you walked away.

He looked up at the sky.

Stars speckled the night sky as the wind blew the willows of the willow tree toward him, like it was reaching out to him.

He realized something.
Even though he only knew her for a few minutes in his memory,
He could feel something toward her.
This rush of adrenaline.
The rapid heartbeat.
Hidden nostalgia.
It was there.

"I love you too." He whispered.

Immediately, everything came rushing back like a tidal wave.

The laughter.

The love.

Y/N.

"Y/N wait!"

Fuyuhiko ran.

He ran as fast as his legs could take him.

Right toward the woman he loved most.

You.

You turned around.

"Fuyu?" You whispered as he leaped on you, tackling you to the ground.

"I remember Y/N."

He kissed you.
His lips were the same as before. Slightly chapped and the taste of honey.

When he pulled away he brushed away the hair behind your ear.

Ding! Dong!

"I love you." He said as the clock in the middle of the town rang.

It was midnight.

That means....

You cupped his cheeks.

"Merry Christmas Fuyuhiko."

"Merry Christmas Y/N."

The both of you spent the rest of Christmas together.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I hope you get tons of presents and food!
I worked really hard on this chapter and I will edit it later.
It's a good example of how my love life will always be sh*tty.
I got rejected a week ago by my crush.
They did like me but they liked someone else more :(
But Anyway have a very merry Christmas and a good night 💜💜💜
