Until We Meet Again... (Huedhaut x MC)
Inspired by I will go to you like the first snow - Ailee
“Your grandma is such a lucky person to have you taking care of her” - The middle-aged nurse smiles while looking at the dark blue hair man.
“She’s the one i love most in the world after all, but i should say that i am too lucky to be able to live with her” - The man, who is actually the god of Aquarius gives out a faint smile, holding the old woman’s hand, his eyes are somehow filled with overwhelming sorrow.
“I will leave you two here, call me if you need anything, okay?” - The nurse smile, steal a glance at the life monitor before she walks away.
“Haha, did you hear that Hue? You definitely make a good grandson” - The old woman let out a weak smile on a once youthful face
She remembers herself at 25, successfully follow her dream, live a memorable life, meet the her destined one and live with him for the rest of her life. Everything was so magical, reincarnated goddess, marrying a god, her life was basically fairytales in real life
But every fairytales have to end, she knows that, a human with finite life and an immortal god, everyone knows how it would end.
“I can’t imagine how you feel being with an old woman like me, i do not look the same anymore, people in the heaven must talk in and out a lot” - She jokingly smiles
“Please do not say that, you are still as pretty as ever, where in the Earth and Heaven could i find someone like this” - Huedhaut gently strokes her wrinkled cheek, just like they said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, 25 or 85, human or goddess, she still remained the most beautiful person in his eyes, physically and spiritually.
The old woman glance at the old couple across the room, holding hands although they are lying in two different bed, she have always feel insecure when she is getting older day by day when her lover stays as a young man, and it got to the point where they cannot even remain as a couple in public anymore.
I wanted to live with you, grow old with you
And tell you how warm my life was
But she cannot bring herself to tell her loved one that, she feel like it would be too selfish. Huedhaut knows that just by looking in her eyes when they are together in the street, but what can he do? Fight back the flow of time? That is more than impossible, even for a high-ranking god like himself. He feel so helpless but the only thing he can do is love her to fullest, like he has always did and will always do.
“You would not have to suffer this much if i was still Clotho, Hue” - Self-blaming, like she always did, even though she did nothing wrong
“Clotho, [MC], or any name you decided to go with, it does not change anything, it was you and it will always be you” - Huedhaut tighten his lover’s hand when he feels that they are getting weaker, his voice shivers as the tears he was holding back starts to flow out because the one he loves so much is about to leave him again.
“I can never be thankful enough, i get to love you in my past life and even in this life, isn’t that a miracle?”
“I really...” - Her voice starts to crack
“I really appreciate the lives i got to spend with you”
“They said every person has 4 lives, one that sows, one that waters, one that reaps and one that consumes, my supposed to disappear soul is saved by your stars so i don’t even know i can get reincarnated again...”
“But with all my heart and mind, i will definitely return to you, so, can you grant me a one last wish?” - She looks into his starry eyes
<Find me in the future, okay?>
A long beeping sound comes from the life monitor as the straight line appear, along with doctors and nurses rushing in. The dark blue hair man hold the woman tight as tears streaming down his face.
After that short encounter
It’s been exactly 127 years since the day you left in this world, but i still embrace the hope of you coming back, a never-ending wait, but for you, it’s always worth it.
Today i stroll pass the planetarium that you worked at, now it has all the new technology to make people feel like they are flying through the sky, i can help wondering what face you will make if you get to see this.
Lost in thought, suddenly a voice pulls me back to reality
“Mister, i’m Hoshiko Tomoyuki, an Astrology student at Tokyo University, would you mind doing a little survey of what people think about the universe?”
Brown hair, kind eyes with one Aquarius sign on it, after 127 years...
“Mister, umm, can you hear me?”
“Nice to meet you again, Hoshiko”
<Find me in the future, okay?>
