That Time

*Things will be all over the place

Someone was here recently as well... these petals are nothing but fresh despite the cold

But who would come visit you this recent...?

You pay it no more attention, not for now at least. Just continue to silently stare away into the dark sky as you lean against the back of the stone, watching as the snow came down with tranquility

It was a beautiful night indeed, it was peaceful. There was a silence that fulfilled that what you wanted, just simple peace. Because never again would you let that incident of last year happen again

Shivers ran down your spine just thinking of those moments. Shaking down the thought, you stood up and sighed, letting the cold wind wrap around you. You knelt down and took another glance at the bouquet, letting your fingertips brush at the blue petals

"Could it be that the girls dropped by?" you ask to nobody, but once again you shrug off the unanswered question and stand back up and pat down the stone

"Until another time, Sugu..." you say softly, breathing in deeply and start leaving the cemetery

Let's not dwell on it too much today, you tell yourself

"Y/n, if I ever died would you go visit me?" He said leaning onto my shoulder, squeezing my hand

"Why the sudden question?" I ask, frowning at the thought

"Just saying, but I hope I don't die anytime soon.  I love you too much for that" he smiles and takes me by surprise as he kisses my cheek, he never fails to make me feel so...

"Exactly, I love you a lot more and besides, you are one of the strongest right?"

Just as you start walking amongst people you see in the corner of your eye what seemed to be a potential grade 3 cursed spirit in an alleyway. Should I just let it be?

You want to just let it be, it wasn't going to affect anybody that greatly... but in the end you walked up to it and bringing your right hand up you did as if chopping something in mid-air and snapped at the end.   Instantly it vanished into thin air

"There we go" you smiled,  a curse is a curse and in the end it was still a bother to the world. And the instinct of being a good sorcerer never went away

You take in a deep breath and sigh.  Putting your cold hands in your pockets you blink against the cold and walk back home

Your eyes struggle to keep awake and yet they don't close completely.  Like always, all you can do to help is toss and turn and wait for hours to pass by until the next thing you know, you have woken up to a couple hours of sleep. A routine that only got worse over time
