The gaze fixed, the mouth dry and fingers trembling, Y/N had a hard time conceiving the image facing her. Her brain was agitated, desperately trying to offer her an answer which, she already knew, wasn't going to satisfy her.

She hadn't seen him since their last date, his departure announced by Shoko. So what was he doing there, sitting on the edge of her bed, a smile crackled along his thin lips? He was supposed to have left her life yet it was that familiar adoration she recognized in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

Geto didn't answer. Under the light of the moon, he rose and advanced with slow but great steps. He extended his hands before letting them fall, his gaze running on the beauty of her features.

"Why didn't you ever come to me?"

Love was a strange feeling, misunderstood by all. One day, it forced us to leave everything to protect the origin of this feeling. And the next day, you found yourself running through the dark streets in search of affection to feed it.

"Why didn't you ever tell me? You didn't-"

Geto interrupted her words filled with insecurities, with a gentle kiss, the movement of their lips slow to give themselves a moment to cherish. His hesitant hands regained their courage and placed themselves in such a way as to make the distance between them disappear.

"You know Y/N, I've learned one thing since I left." each of his words tickling her skin, his breath warming her cheeks "Love is eternal. It doesn't go away."

He kissed her again, this time with a greater intensity that pushed the woman against the wall. His hands did not leave their positions to prevent their bodies from detaching even for a moment.

"Don't ask me why I'm here because I don't know myself." He took her hand and pressed it against his heart "that would be a question for him. I just know that you never left me."

Geto let his head fall into the crook of her neck and he continued "You're always with me. Everywhere I go. You're there, nestled in my heart. You're the very reason it's still beating."

He raised his head to slowly place his forehead against hers. His eyes were shining under the tears. And with the same broken smile he wore a few minutes ago, he repeated "You're always with me"

The tears fell, the smile collapsed.

Love is eternal. It's always there. In the heart, in the mind, or in the soul. But love is also naive. It forgets how cruel life can be. And often, love is reduced to a burning feeling that one carries and lost its true purpose; to be a passion that one shares.
