Year: 1900’s
You packed what was left of your clothing into your old, worn out suitcase. You’ve had it since as long as your young mind could remember. You always wanted a new start. Especially away from this orphanage you grew up in your whole life, but new starts never come without a price.
Everyone at school was excited for you. Except for one.
“What the hell you mean you’re leaving?” Kanchan huffed.
Even though you both are only eleven years old, Kanchan had quite a potty mouth with a short temper.
“I got adopted, Kanchan! Isn’t that exciting?!”
“Yeah.. exciting.”
“C’mon, Kanchan, let’s play on the playground. It is recess after all.”
You and Kanchan have been friends ever since kindergarten. It started off with him getting the adult scissors and cutting your ponytail. You cried, the principal was involved, and you both were not allowed around each other for the rest of the school year. Then, you got put into the same first grade class. Even though Kanchan still bullied you, at least he didn’t cause any destruction to your physical features. He only would take your juice box instead.
Once, Kanchan lied and said you were an accomplice to him doing something bad so you both had to stay in during recess and write sentences. What should have been punishment turned into fits of giggles as he found ways to annoy the teacher and cause more trouble. Even though it cost you both a few more recess days this brought you two even closer.
Throughout the years, fate would put you two in the same classes. You would always play on the playground together and work on group projects. Even traded lunches at times. You were inseparable.
Kanchan pushed you on the swings as you sang your infamous lullaby. You have sang it ever since you could talk. Your caretaker would always sing it to you and the rest of the orphans. Kanchan would pick on you for it, but he secretly loved it. It always made him happy.
“Let me sing a lullaby
As you close your eyes
And as you're drifting off to sleep
How I hope that the dreams that you find
Are bright
Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies?
Where a tomorrow waits for you and I
So hold me tight one more time, but don't kiss me goodbye
'Cause I know that I'll see you on the other side
I will think of our song when the nights are too long
I'll dream of you for that's where I belong
Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies
Only, in my dreams, do we meet again”
“Recess is over!” The teachers called.
All the children rushed to form a single file line to go inside. Kanchan couldn’t help but fall behind as you ran ahead.
“C’mon Kanchan! Don’t want to be late!” You giggled.
Kanchan faked a smile.
“I’m right behind you!”
The days seemed to fly. For you, you couldn’t ask for any better. For Kanchan it felt like the world was against him. How could this be happening? As happy as he was for you, he sure as hell hated that his best friend was leaving. He doesn’t get close to anyone else. He doesn’t want anyone else as his best friend. He just wants you.
Kanchan came to the orphanage to reluctantly say his goodbyes. You made sure you had all of your belongings while happily humming your song.
“I get your leaving, but could you not act so damn happy about it.” Kanchan states in aggregation. It was to mask his pain.
“Oh, Kanchan. I apologize. I am just so excited!”
“I’m aware.”
You take a quick glance around your old room.
“Looks like this is what is left of my belongings. Will you help carry my stuff to the car?” You asked, sweetly.
Kanchan nods, taking your heavy suitcase and carrying it to your new parents car. He put it into the trunk and aggressively shuts it. You were saying goodbye to everyone else before you turn to him. You and him were close, but Kanchan wasn’t the PDA type. This time was an exception as you hugged him. You felt his warm embrace around yours.
“I’ll miss you, Kanchan. If you ever go to New York City one day, come find me.”
“I’ll always look for you.”
The hug seemed like years, but you both did not mind. Behind that happy smile of yours there was sadness. As much as you wanted to be adopted, you also didn’t want to leave your friends behind. They were like family to you.
You pull away to meet his gaze and you gently placed a kiss on his cheek. Kanchan was taken back by the sudden action of yours as his cheeks glowed a crimson red.
“Do me a favor and one day when you someday have a wife and a family, will you tell them about me?”
Kanchan processed your words.
“As long as you do the same.”
You held out your pinky and he connected his pinky with yours.
“Promise.” You both say in unison.
You said your last quick goodbyes before you hopped into the backseat of the car. You looked out the window to see everyone telling you goodbye. You could not help the tears that fell when you looked at Kanchan, looking sad. He stood there until the cars taillights were no longer in sight and then some. The caretaker had to convince him to go home.
Life goes on. You both live a happy life with beautiful families and homes. It took you both some time, though, as a tug was always on the both of your hearts. Some say that means your soulmates, some say it’s just a crush, and some say it’s just sadness over a friendship. You both never met in this lifetime again due to you both being so young and so far apart. You both always had dreams of seeing each other again and speaking, but it just never happened. You both were perished by the time the internet came around. Even on your death beds, some of your final thoughts were each other. Both of your children tried finding a way to get you both together, but it wasn’t possible.
Still, you both kept your promises.
Year: 2020
“Class, welcome our new student, Y/N!” Your teacher excitedly greeted. You nervously waved.
“Hello Y/N!” Said the class in unison.
“Y/N, take a seat next to Katsuki Bakugo and we will get class started.”
You looked to see where the teacher was pointing. You saw a ashy blonde hair boy sitting at his desk with a scowl on his face. He did not look like the friendly type so you did not even try to get to know him today, but for some reason, your heart raced at the sight of him. He was not your type so it seemed a bit off for you to feel this way. You decided to ignore it as you took your seat next to the blonde.
“Okay class, we are going to have group projects! You are paired up next to the person you are sitting next to. The project is due in two weeks.”
“Great.” Katsuki groans in annoyance.
You were taken back by his sudden rudeness, but tried to brush it off. You would probably have the same reaction as him if you were lured with the new kid. Plus, you came into the school year late due to the fact you just moved to Japan from New York City. It was a great opportunity for you to study abroad.
“If it makes you feel any better, I am really good at History.” You say nervously.
“It doesn’t, nerd.” Katsuki insults.
The teacher finishes teaching the lesson and the class is dismissed. You gathered your stuff about to leave and Katsuki follows closely behind you. He stops you by handing you a piece of paper.
“What is this?” You ask.
“Open it, dumbass.”
You opened up the folded paper to see it is an address and the words “meet me at my place after school.”
Before you could even question anything, Katsuki was gone. You rushed to your next class as you heard the bell ring. The high school does not give you as much time as you should have to get to one class to another.
School was finally over and you made your way out the building. You noticed Katsuki waiting at the entrance.
“Took you long enough. Got lost?” Katsuki teased.
Your cheeks went red because you actually did get lost.
“You didn’t have to wait for me, you know?”
“I’m aware, but we are going to the same place. I don’t need you getting lost and I fail this project.”
“Fair enough.”
You and Katsuki began walking towards his place. Awkward silence overcame both of you so you started singing a lullaby that calms you down. Your mother sang this song since you were little.
“Let me sing a lullaby
As you close your eyes
And as you're drifting off to sleep
How I hope that the dreams that you find
Are bright
Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies?
Where a tomorrow waits for you and I
So hold me tight one more time, but don't kiss me goodbye
'Cause I know that I'll see you on the other side
I will think of our song when the nights are too long
I'll dream of you for that's where I belong
Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies
Only, in my dreams, do we meet again”
Katsuki stopped dead in his tracks. He has never heard of this lullaby before, but the song sounded so familiar. So did your voice and the feeling in his chest. He has never seen you a day in his life and neither have you, but the familiarity feeling in both of you said otherwise. You both have heard rumors of this feeling before, but you both have never experienced it until now.
You turned to face him.
“Something wrong?”
Katsuki shook his head no. You held out your pinky finger.
“Promise?”
Katsuki contemplated before wrapping his pinky finger around yours. He usually would have laughed or insulted someone for doing that, but this was different.
“Promise.”
