Reader x Daniel Henney Characters

Tadashi Hamada x Reader: In the Next Lifetime

Ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin kong mahalin, sa susunod na habang buhay. 
I will still choose to love you, in our next lifetime. 
________________________________________________________________________________

It has been eight years. 

That night of November 6, 2014 marks the day you lost your boyfriend, Tadashi Hamada. What could have been the joyous celebration of Hiro getting accepted in San Fransokyo Institute of Technology turned into a nightmare everyone wished did not happen. You could remember how peaceful and comfortably silent things were as you, Tadashi and Hiro hanged out by the bridge that leads to Ito Ishioka Robotics Lab. 

You stood in front of his grave, feeling the sun caress your tan skin as the day passed by. Pain and sadness panged your heart as the reality hits you: Tadashi is not here anymore. What makes the pain worse? You've never revealed your true feelings for him. You never took the chance to tell that you love him more than just a friend. You were not able to express your love for him verbally. 

"Hey, 'Dashi." You smile as you sat on the mat you laid on the grass, placing the flowers you got for him next to the candle you lit near his image that was engraved on his still-shining tombstone. All the fond memories you have with him start to flash back in your mind, each memory like a scene in a movie you never dare to miss. 

Where to even start telling your best friend about what's going on in your life now? You feel that he seemed to know everything already; you got in your dream job as a robotics scientist in Stark Industries, you took up masters and doctorate in SFIT, Hiro graduated and got in the same job as yours but as a junior associate, Aunt Cass's business grew and already has branches all over San Fransokyo and Los Ioko, and so many more milestones you could tell him. 

Oh, yes, those darn feelings you bottled up in your heart for God knows how long. You never took up the courage to tell those to your best friend, who you didn't know had growing feelings for you since that first day in college. You weren't able to catch on what we wants to tell you through actions; every single hug with matching kiss on the forehead, every single "I made you coffee" as he places your mug next to you, every single time he softly smiles at you, and many more things he does to make you feel his utmost love for you. 

You helplessly gaze at his tombstone, his smiling image looking back at your sadness-clouded eyes. Your warm hands touch that cold stone as you crease on his image, imagining it was his face you are holding on. Next thing you know, you started to talk about that dreaded confession. 

"Dude... It really feels lonely being alone in my lab, y'know." you playfully say as you gave a little smile. "You would've loved being in that place too. But, I think you got a bigger lab up there as you work on whatever things you wanna work on." 

You sigh. The words you wanted to say doesn't come out of your slaughterhouse of a mouth. It feels like beating around a bush; the capability to tell what you want to say is unavailable at the moment. You helplessly look at the sky.

"Dashi... I've been wanting to tell you how much I love you." you sadly smile. "I lost my chance to tell you back then, and I never will get another chance. Please, know that I love you more than just my best frenemy. If God gives me one more chance, I'm taking that and I will still choose to love you." 

You feel a cold breeze envelop your body as if Tadashi is hugging you. You cannot help but feel your tears fall down your cheeks as the weight of guilt about not telling Tadashi what you really feel be lifted up like a stone you carry for such a long time. 

"I will still choose to love you, Tadashi Hamada. I will still choose to love you in our next lifetime."

A/N: Hello. <3

I'm back after such a long time of hiatus. It feels refreshing to write again about Daniel Henney and some of his characters. 1st semester of my journey in first year Bachelor of Science in Nursing is done, and I can finally take a breather and rest. I have been checking on my old profile and I cannot help but feel happy for the love you have given Tadashi Hamada x Reader Imagines! A big shoutout to all of you who read all of the stories contained in there. 

I will be opening up requests until January 23, 2023. This is to ensure that I can keep my workload healthy for me and my physical, mental, and emotional health that I want to make sure is on good maintenance while I take on the road to becoming a Registered Nurse. 

Rules on requesting: 

Open for: Daniel Henney and Tadashi Hamada (I'm not quite familiar with how Daniel Henney's other characters work yet)

Genre: Fluff and Angst

You can drop a message in my inbox if you want to request for something :> However, please respect if I won't be able to open it immediately because I too must allocate bigger amount of time for my studies compared to Watty. I am a college student who still is navigating through college life and is at the verge of losing sanity XD

That's it for now, see you in our next imagines!
