You had been one of the first cursed children, due to this you were no longer a child yet you still bared the same powers. Nowadays people held somewhat respect towards you despite the discrimination towards your kind. However back then when you'd found your powers no such thing as respect was ever given to you. All human beings knew were that you were part gastrea and that seemed enough to make a hatred for your kind grow.
You'd met the hazel eyed boy in those times , you were both mere children at the time. Your first encounter was short yet at the same time it could have meant both of your deaths .
You couldn't have been more than five when all of this happened, your father had taught you how to hide amongst regular humans so you hadn't yet felt such discriminatiom.
However as time went by, more cursed children were being born and not all of them had been privileged enough to have a father as good as yours. Once humanity found out, they created scanners amongst other advancements in technology, including more modernized weapons to kill your kind, to kill children, the thought made you sick.
Police would go on endless searches for cursed children, barge inside homes to find them and they would even kill any person who associated with them for they considered it.... Treason. Treason, such an odd word, treason could mean good or wrong. A person could betray someone for the greater good however someone could betray, for the whole opposite of good... Evil. Rentaro was someone who betrayed their kind for the greater good.
The time you met him you'd been running away from the cops, they'd shot him.... They'd shot your father, the man who'd taken care of you and would work for endless hours just to provide you with bread. Tears had threatened to spill from your eyes, while they changed color from e/c to red, you couldn't control your powers at the moment , you were in despair. If anyone were to see have seen you then, they wouldn't have had a single doubt that you were a cursed child. You'd reached an alley and stopped to a halt, you sobbed your eyes out that day until you heard rattling in the trash cans.
Aware of the cops being on your tail, you'd quickly scrambled away, to the nearest wall. You had waited to see whether it'd simply been a cat looking for food. The rattling sounded once again, you spoke up, your voice not being as confident as it once was. "W-who's t-there?" Rentaro peeked through a few of the trash cans, feeling relieved once he'd seen it was just a girl.
However he then noticed the girls eyes, they..... They changed color. From e/c to red... Red he thought, wasn't that the color the cursed- his eyes widened as fear took over him. He fell back and began crawling away until he noticed the bags under your eyes and your tear stained cheeks. He no longer felt afraid, for it seemed as if you were more afraid than he was.
He stood up and shyly walked towards you " I-I'm Rentaro" he muttered, extending his hand while a slight blush covered his cheeks. "Nani?" No one ever wanted to be a friend of a cursed child, not only were most people afraid of them but they were also afraid of someone finding out they'd associated with them. " I'm Rentaro" he muttered once again thinking you hadn't heard him " I know, I just wasn't sure whether you were talking to me" you'd muttered, while hesitantly shaking his hand, he smiled warmly at you " wanna be friends? " you looked at him suspiciously, why would he want to he your friend? He seemed to have noticed the look on your face and quickly explained himself "It doesn't seem like you have much so I guessed you could use one"
It made sense, you thought. Having a friend would be.... Nice , you glanced at him one more time, trying to see whether you could find some sort of sign that he was joking or making fun of you, but there was no such thing. You nodded " let's be friends" you smiled at him, as your eyes stopped changing, becoming the beautiful e/c that was usually there.
It's been years since that day, and that memory had always made you smile. He'd taken care of you and as time went by you noticed how he'd gotten more mature and brave however he'd also noticed that you were becoming stronger and became more than capable to take care of yourself yet he still did anything he could to protect you. He almost died once just to save you, you'd scolded him for risking his life yet at the same time you admired and appreciated what he'd done.
A few years after all those events, you'd realized just how much you'd fallen for the hazel eyed man and before you knew it he had asked you out. You chuckled at the memory of his blushed cheeks and the way he diverted his gaze from your eyes. You felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist " what you thinking about,babe?"
You smiled " nothing... Just us" a smile spread across his lips while he nuzzled his head in the crook of your neck. " what about us?" " you know how we met.... And your blushed cheeks when you'd finally gotten the courage to ask me out." He pouted " we promised not to speak of my blushed cheeks again" you giggled " you promised Rentaro, you even made an oath while I was laughing my ass off" he fake gasped " don't you dare make fun of my oath, it took me ages to come up with it" "I know, you spent an entire month in your office, trying to come up with a oath" you laughed" that's done it. This is war" he tackled you and began tickling you.
" Ren... Taro ... St..op"you said between laughs while he shook his head " never" your eyes flashed red while you turned the both of you around. Meaning you were now tickling him, he laughed " please... Stop" while you grinned " never"
After a while you'd gotten tired of tickling him and he'd gotten tired of laughing and thrashing so you simply sat on the floor besides each other. He caressed your hand with his thumb while you smiled. " I love you y/n" you placed your lips on his, you both moved in sync until you broke apart for air " and I love you Rentaro-kun" you leaned your head on his shoulder while a smile spread across his lips " I know"
