Reminiscent Butterfly - Totsuka Tatara X Female Reader

Prologue

The night sky stretched across the distance with the guidance of the full moon. It was beautiful and quiet. No sound, except the howling wind. The stars gently glistened, contrasting to the darkness above. “(Y/N), can you tell us how you and Tatara met?” asked the little white haired girl. Everyone gathered around smiling. “Well, I met him 3 years ago,” (Y/N) sadly smiled but continued, “He helped me out knowing I was struggling... but then... that's Tatara for you. That's all I will say.”

~ 3 Years Ago ~

(Y/N) took a stroll along the streets of Shizume City. The sky was blue and the sun beamed against her delicate skin. She sighed thinking back to what happened the day before. She lived with her aunt and uncle but the shouting and screaming wouldn't stop. It was something about being skint and so her aunt decided to help out an illegal organisation for money. But of course (Y/N)'s uncle would disagree saying how she would need to pay them back even more than she gained. He was right. (Y/N)'s parents didn't want her so she lived with her aunt and uncle as they were the only family willing to take her in. “Am I the problem?” she asked herself.

“Hey, it's a nice day isn't it? It's surprising to see someone who is unhappy when it's sunny.” (Y/N) turned around to track the voice to see a male with light brown hair, who had a optimistic expression. His piercing shimmered as a pinkish red butterfly circled him, leaving dust-like traces. He looked friendly, anyone could tell by his benevolent smile. He also wore a plain white shirt unbuttoned at the top. That was the fateful day when everything transformed abnormally. It was the day when Tatara met (Y/N).

~ Current Time ~ 

Time flew past and it was extremely late. The members departed the bar awaiting a new day after a while. Before (Y/N) left, the girl called out to her, “(Y/N), do you want to see the memories Tatara left behind?”

(Y/N) smiled then settled back down saying,“Of course.” The young child ran off to gather the tapes, later coming back with the first video recorded. It was about a new arrival in HOMRA - Akagi Shohei. 

The memories came flooding back.

“You really are similar to my flame butterflies. You and the butterflies keep fluttering your wings, even when you're trapped in that mind of yours.”
