The word family brought a bitter taste to his mouth. Family, it seems innocent at first, but before you can be pulled in deep, remember this, no one will live long enough to see or remember your existence. People will tell tales of how you were and what you did after years have passed since your last standing.

Everyone will soon die, so try to live life to the fullest. All of this is supposed to happen to everyone eventually, yet it  didn't cross the mind of a few unfortunate beings. You can't call them humans, because what humans lived long enough till the beginning of time or even over 400 years?.

Kazuo on the rooftop, looked up into the many stars scattered across the night sky. Hands behind his head for a cushion, he couldn't help but feel alone despite the many people supporting him. None of them know the real him. Basing it off prejudices everyone just assumed he was naturally good hearted.

Kazuo thought back to his life on earth....

Walking through the streets with bruised feet and arms he just wanted to live, live, live that's all he wanted. Not some money to buy a new house or something but a real home he could walk into and be greeted by his family.

Family, tiny Kazuo gritted his teeth in envy as he saw a kid walk with his parents looking down at him with smiles.  Looking down at himself he wanted to live, live long enough so he can find his fated pair.

"Long ago, there once lived a princess in a castle, alone, she wanted to talk with someone, someone she could relate to. But her sisters and mother were jealous of her beauty so they sealed her up in a tower.  A man came to her rescue, saying nothing he beat down the evil sisters and mother. Only asking for her hand in marriage, she said yes and they lived happily ever after!",closing the book she looked down at the child who had shimmering eyes in anticipation.

"That means soon I'll meet a princess!", jumping up and down he giggled excitedly unable to wait. The woman could only chuckle before ruffling his brown hair, "Yes, but it's too soon for you to be thinking about that", "I can't wait to be with my fated pair!", the woman froze at the words 'fated pair'.

Little Kazu could only wait before the time comes when he meets his fated pair.

Though it was a made up sappy romance story his mother read him, he couldn't help but feel the word 'fated pair' resound in his soul.

Back to the present

Kazuo slightly remembered 'fated pair', still feeling true to it now, he still has to wait who knows how long before he could meet his fated pair. Hearing the rooftop door slowly open and close, someone loomed over him blocking his sight of the shining stars. Staring at the intruder in surprise he only gave a smile after sitting up. The person stood by his side, also looking up into the night sky. Motioned the person to sit next to him, kazuo urged them.

"Omnivore...", hibari muttered out looking at the  broken expression Kazuo made. Reluctantly hibari sat next to him, a arm curled around his shoulder suddenly making him stiffen. Kazuo noticed the stiffness hibari created and chuckled. "I used to do this with my lover", hibari looked up at him with narrowed eyes, continuing on he released hibari's shoulder.

"She was the most kindest woman on the planet, but.....", kazuo gnawed a his bottom lip not wanting to cry in front of the demon of Namimori.

Hibari just stared at Kazuo before getting up, he wanted to leave this pitiful soul alone. Kazuo noticed he's going to be left alone again, so he grabbed hibari's wrist desperately and pulled him into his chest.

Hibari pulled out his tonfas but didn't strike. With his face in hibari's neck, he could only quietly mutter out, "Please let me stay like this for a little longer". Hibari hesitatingly complied with his one request and put his tonfas away.

Hibari slowly brought up his arms and hugged back. "Hn", staying there the only ones truly feeling the world turn in their direction were embracing each other on a rooftop with stars shining down on them.
