'Just Another Love Story'

❤Valentine's Day Special🖤

*before getting put into UA*

"Valentine's Day is seperated into 2 different catergories." Akamine says to Kimiko, who just looks at him with much confusion.

"What?"

"It's split into 2 catergories, those who are single and those who aren't." Akamine then points at himself. "I'm one of those single men and one person who quite frankly doesn't give a *beep* about this so called speacial holiday."

"Akamine, it's ok that you're alone on Valentine's Day." Kimiko pats him on the head as she looks through some papers.

"No, you don't get it do you, I'm trying to tell you some random person sent me a Valentine." Kimiko looks at him with astonishment. "I was trying to see if you got me it just so I wouldn't be what you call a miserable *beep*."

"I definitly didn't send you it Akamine, I gave up from last year and what you did."

Last year, Kimiko got the boy a Valentine hoping it would cheer him up from his busting mood. Long story short, she got herself handed to her when Akamine asked to get some training in. He ended up hating the fact she got him something and he wanted to repay it.

"You learn, good for you." Akamine scoffs.

"I really still don't understand how you've come to hate the holiday though." Kimiko puts down her papers, actually looking at the young man. "There is so much about it you can celebrate without thinking of having love for someone else."

"Do you know who sent it or not?"

"I don't know who sent it but I will say, please don't beat them up like you did to me last year."

"There are no certainties on that!" Akamine calls out as he leaves, Kimiko giving a small sad sigh.

Akamine walked back to his office in hopes the Valentine was completely gone from the room but yet he walked in there to still find it sitting on his desk how he left it.

He never actually celebrated the holiday at all, but in fact, it had such a painful meaning to him. He could never let that one go at all, the fact that she had to die this certain day on him, leaving him to juggle the needs while their father just brought acid rain.

His mother died on a day of love, Valentine's Day.

Kimiko didn't know this, only Akamine himself knew the day and what it meant to him. It's why he brings it as such a pain not only to himself but on others who tried to make him love it.

He isn't sure who was planning their funneral deciding to send him that Valentine but he knows that he will find out who did this, he just doesn't want it.

Throughout the rest of the day, he asked around who gave him the piece of *beep* on his desk (the Valentine) but no one said it was them and none of them were lying.

It was around 7 o'clock when he was just about done, he couldn't get a single clue to who it was.

He reterated back towards his office, where the gift still lied there unwrapped. Yet, only he entered it was very odd for him to find one of his co-workers inside the room already. Akamine had many words and thoughts, but yet what he said explained too much.

"It was you?!" He pointed at the guy in astonishment, clearing about to punch ghe living daylights out of him for it too.

"Yes, but-"

He stopped talking when the gift was shoved at him, silenced by the confusion and astonishment.

"I don't want it, take it back."

"Did you even open it?" He asks the younger male as he hands out the box yet again.

"No! You would think if I even wanted it I would've actually opened it and probaboy thanked you in this sappy voice but, guess what? I don't need your stupid valentine gift and I don't want it!"

"Can you at least open it, please?" He continues to hold the box in front of him, wanting Akamine to take it.

"Fine." He takes it out of his co-worker's hands, opening it vigorously. "You just tell me to open this box even though it probably has *beep* chocolates inside or some other *beep* that people give on this day. What is even the point of getting someone something when-"

He stopped talking when he found what was inside, which he wasn't sure how to feel about.

"I saw you at the graveyard while I went to go visit my best friend's grave, I noticed you left some white roses before you left." In that box was a pair of sliver earings wih white roses on them, embellished beautifully to Akamine's style. "This is a gift to remember whoever they were."

Akamine had zero words to explain how he felt, all he did was point to the door of his office.

"Leave before I change my mind." Akamine didn't even look up as the guy left, still staring at the earings.

Akamine's ears are indeed not pierced, so in order to wear them, he would have to punch a needle through his ear. He didn't mind the idea of wearing the earings at all, and found a single tear make its way down his face from how much he was smiling.

But it didn't last for long, unfortunately.

"Akamine, what are you doing?" Kimiko stood there as she looked at her friend, suprised and worried.

"I change my mind," he let's the box with the earings fall out of his hand, landing into the trash bin on top of everything else. "I don't want them anymore."

He walked out, shoving Kimiko away as he left. She felt her own heart fill with sadness as she walked over to the bin, looking at the earings as they sat there to be forgotten. Her hands moved to pick them up, unable to leave them there to rot and to never be seen again.

It was sad to see his happy mood go away, his little smile he had from every moment from that until it left 10 minutes ago. He looked like a normal kid once again, but, it didn't last forever.

The reason for his actions was out of pure hatred for the guy he had now, since he was no longer alive. The man died 13 hours after from a car accident, those 13 hours Akamine had that present in his hands and was in love with it, adding another 4 hours he didn't know about what happened.

Kimiko held onto those earings knowing one day Akamime could possibly want them because he knew it was a mistake to throw them away. Yet, he more days that passed, the more she told herself that mabye she should've just left them there to begin with.

I know this is a little sad but I had to.

Yet, Valentine's Day is a day where you can be with your significant other or just love yourself. If you don't celebrate it because you don't have a soulmate, then just celebrate the love you have for your family and friends, amd also yourself.

I wish you all a great Valentine's Day and just remember that someone out there loves you.
