"I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me when we're alone, you can hold my hand if no one's home."

Been listening to this song for days now for hours on end. That part really makes me think of Tsukasa. Please do read the author's note at the end of the story.

LINE WITHOUT A HOOK

*

You were "different" from the others. Well, the only significant difference you have is that you could see ghosts. And right now, there's this desperate ghost wanting to be noticed so badly by you. He kept on stopping you - you didn't, though, because he always moved away once he sees your indifference - and floating all over you as you walked down the corridors. You didn't understand why, but the small ghost boy seemed attached to you.

When you saw him, you did your best to ignore him, but you made a simple mistake which resulted in this sadistic ghost following you everywhere. You looked directly into his eyes. You didn't mean to; that was a rookie mistake, except you weren't even a rookie. You've been seeing ghosts since you were a kid.

It's his fault. He stared at you without blinking. It creeped you out, hence the small mistake resulting in this big problem.

You've decided that you're going to talk to the small boy today. You went into one of the old classrooms inside the abandoned building. You breathed deeply as you closed the doors and sat. The boy followed, sat, and stared at you creepily again - of course.

You moved your eyes away from the windows to briefly glance at the boy in front of you. You just wanted to know why the heck he went along with you everywhere.

It's time. You gazed straight into his eyes then spoke, "hey."

His eyes widened and for the seemingly first time in forever, he blinked. "You can see me?" He asked. Oh. You thought he knew that and that he followed because of it. Welp, never mind then.

"Yeah, I guess..?" You replied, acting as confused as he is.

"Hey, hey, is it really you, (Y/N)?" He asked excitedly. How did he know your name? You had no friends so no one really called you in the corridors and he was never around whenever you're in class.

"Yeah, that's my name..." You mumbled and he rushed over to you to hug you tightly which shocked you and caused you to backed away from him.

"You can touch me?!" You shouted, each word expressing your confusion.

"Yeah, it's 'cause you're bound me to me, you know..." He replies while looking down. You could see the sadness in his eyes and something in your heart felt weird. You felt guilty for making such a sweet-looking boy like him sad.

"B-but.. when? I've never seen you before in my life, so how?" It was true. It has only been a week since he started following you around and that was the first time you saw him.

"Hmm... 30 or 40 years ago. I-I just wanted to confirm my suspicions because you looked so much like my (Y/N).." You looked into his eyes and felt longing. Tears were rolling down his cheeks as he spoke and you could only feel the sincerity in his voice.

"Are you saying I'm... reincarnated?" You weren't 30 nor 40.

"Yes, I'm Tsukasa. Do you remember me? Please remember me."

"I-I'm sorry, Tsukasa." You couldn't. Though something in your head throbbed when you said his name, yet you couldn't quite put your finger on it.

"It's okay, (Y/N). I won't force you to remember anything." He sounded so sweet, now you kind of want to remember what happened between you two.

"I- Thank you Tsukasa... It feels weird knowing I was reincarnated, you know... Uh- if you don't mind, maybe tell me all about how we met?"

He stood up hastily and floated over you, finally his eyes showing happiness and he actually seemed overly excited. Your eyes soften at the sight, he just looked so adorable, and knowing you are the reason for it made your heart skip a beat.

"So, it started when-"

I've published the book, you can find it on my profile! Of course I added more words to this part in the actual book.

Edit: I unpublished the book since I haven't been able to write more chapters for it. I'll probably continue it when I finish my other story.
