Meto POV
Mejibray has just released our latest single "To Be Or Not To Be" so that means, a break! I'm finally able to go on a date with my girlfriend (Y/N)-chan after a long time. Sure we hang out but it was always only for a little while since Tsuzuku kept wanting new songs back to back, robbing me of my time with her. I'm surprised she had put up with me. But now that I have a day off so we can finally have our first summer together. I actually had proposed that we go to the beach but she seemed really against it for some reason, so we decided to just wander around in Harajuku for the day. I don't mind where we go, as long as we're together. I washed up and just threw on a white oversized graphic T-shirt, black pants and my favourite sneakers. I made my way to the station where I would meet her and as expected, the train is packed to the brim. "Hope she's fine… Can't wait to finally see her again."
(Y/N) POV
After what seemed like forever, Meto and I can finally have some alone time together. He was actually really hyped up about going to the beach, but I had to oppose, and I felt terrible. But the thing is, I have a reason. A secret. And due to that, Meto can't have that "beach date" that most other couples like Mia are having. I hope he's not upset. I spent most of my time picking out my outfits, since I have some personal requirements to meet. After quite some time, I picked out a crop top paired with a cardigan and a knee length Jean pants, simply threw my hair in a high ponytail and slipped on my high top converse. I rushed to the train station and waited for the train. I wasn't late per say, but I sure didn't want to be. And boy was the journey uncomfortable. It felt like I could finally breathe again when I exited the train. We both arrived at the same time and he looked spot on effortlessly. He pecked my lips and we made our way hand in hand.
We did random things and walked around aimlessly but around 2 pm, the summer sun was getting to me. Usually, I stay indoors during this time of the year, but for Meto's sake, I'll stand the heat. sweat droplets were forming at my forehead and I must have looked really stupid in a cardigan. "Um… (Y/N)-chan, don't you feel hot?" I told him that I was fine, but it was probably a really bad lie. The sweat was a dead give away. "Why don't we get something cool to drink?" I nodded and he brought us to a cafe around the corner. I ordered an iced tea while he got a caramel latte. We were chatting and laughing till our hearts content when everything went downhill.
"Oh shit!" I cursed as I accidentally tipped my drink onto myself. I grabbed some napkins and dabbed but my cardigan was pretty much soaked. Meto tried to help me get cleaned up and started tugging the neck of my cardigan. "No!" I yelled without thinking and stopped his hand. "But it's wet. You're going to get sick." His voice was apologetic and together with the soft tone he speaks in, it tore my heart. All he did was try to help me and I had hurt him. "Sorry… It's not that I don't trust you or anything, I do. It's just that… I have my reasons." He just kept quiet and avoided my eyes, obviously offended. I don't know what has gotten into me, but I suddenly felt the need to tell him the truth. He needs to know what kind of a monster I was. He deserves to know!
"Meto, there's something you should know. You'll probably look at me differently, and you might not even love me anymore."
"That's crazy! I'll love you no matter what."
I pushed up my sleeve, exposing my forearm, revealing the deep cut scars all lined up, some overlapping.
"And I have them on my thighs too.… I'm sorry."
He reached over and held my forearm, gently stroked my ugly scars. He turned back and looked at me blankly, still somehow so composed, not even the slightest rise in his voice.
"Do you still do it?"
"No! Ever since I met you I stopped. I promise."
Surprisingly, Meto smiled back at me and clutched my hands in his. His stare was so deep, I'm pretty sure he could see into my soul that was scared like hell.
"That's all that matters. We all have a dark past, but we must learn to embrace it, not be ashamed of it. Okay? It shows that you've grown. I'm proud of you."
He ruffled my hair and I felt so relieved by his words. I never thought that this would happen. I never would have expected someone who would still love me dearly even after knowing what kind of a soul I was. The feeling was so overwhelming, my eyes welled up and my cheeks dampened. He leaned across the table and wiped my tears away, leaning over and kissed my forehead.
I promised myself to never hold a secret from Meto anymore, because no matter what, his love never stops, unconditionally.
