My Own Version Of Love

I Don't Believe in Love Anymore

Katsuki POV

It's been 3 months since my first arrival here at okinawa. It's the middle of december now. Everyone's been preparing for christmas so the town is very lively first thing in the morning. I bought a small house near the beach. Since it's the countryside, the land is not that pricey.

I also visited the place where my previous house stood but an inn now stood where it was. It's a shame but it can't be helped since it was sold a long time ago.

I met the residents here and they've been so kind to me. Some of them recognized me and asked about my well-being. I also visited my parents' graves. I brought flowers and incense and talked to them in silence.

Right now, i am working part-time jobs all around town as errand boy and store helper during weekends, waiter/receptionist in an inn and a clerk in a convenience store during the weekdays.

"Christmas, huh? Before, my parents would decorate a giant christmas tree and accumulate presents underneath them."

"Should i buy a christmas tree?"

The days passed with no problems and today is now christmas day. There are a lot of visitors and people who got back for vacations.

I went and bought a small tree and decorated it with cute little balls, stars, and garlands. In the morning, i visited and cleaned the graves of my parents. On the way, i met my neighbors who greeted me with happy faces. All around, i can hear the music that plays in each houses and the happy voices inside their homes.

"Mom, dad, merry christmas. I've been doing well these past few months since i came back. Everyone is also very good to me. Idk if you'll like it but i brought you presents."

I put down a small plate of cake in front of their graves.

After a while, i started cleaning the surrounding areas.

In the afternoon, i went to the beach and just stare at the ocean.

"It's cold."

There are a few people here drinking by the beach. I tried to avoid them and put distance as much as possible. I sat down behind the rocks, in my usual place. I discovered it when i was strolling by the beach. It's peaceful and quiet here since no one comes.

When night came, i heard fireworks in the distance. I turned my head and watched the fireworks blast off and bloom in the sky. There are all kinds of shapes and colors.

However, i heard a rustling sound so i turned to look at the source but was so shocked by what i saw.

"Kacchan?"

"De...ku?"

We stared at each other for a while.

"H-hello. It's been 5 years isn't it? Uhm. How have you been?"

'Why is he here?! I never saw him once during my time here so i thought he moved away? I saw his parents but i avoided them in every possible way so they don't know i came back.'

"Uh. Yeah."

A little flashback:

Deku and i are childhood friends however, ever since my parents died when i was 16 years old, i was taken by my uncle and moved to tokyo. There, he let me study for uni. It was good but when he died, i was chased out by his son and so i worked to earn for a living. That was when i met kirishima and my misfortune continues. And this deku here, confessed to me before i went away so it's very awkward between us.

I liked him too but I do not believe in love anymore. Actually, it's disgusting. But it's been a long time and i'm sure deku just said that because he's confused about his feelings. That time, i just brushed it off and that was the last time i've seen him.

"I did not know you were here in this town."

"Ah... Yeah. I just got back since it's a holiday."

A long silence embraced us even with all the fireworks going off.

"Why are you here?"

'This is a secluded place that is hard to find and no one comes near here so i'm sure he did not get lost. That means he knew this place from the start.'

"I just... I didn't know someone would be here because it was such an unnoticeable place."

"That's not what i asked."

"I'm glad i came here."

He smiled at me so brightly. I noticed that his timidness has reduced and his body has become a little muscular. And most of all, why is he taller than me?!

"K-kacchan! Are you here for a vacation too?"

"No. I live here."

"What? Really?"

I frowned at his stupid question. I sighed before i turned to the exit.

"Then i'm going home. Bye"

I waved my hand as i walked but i was stopped because he pulled it back.

Deku is holding my wrist with him behind me. I was shocked that i was stunned for a moment.

"Kacchan don't go."

"What?"

"Could you please stay for a little bit longer?"

"Huh? No. I'm going home."

I pulled my wrist to get away from his grasp and continued to walk without looking back.
