Love Youuuuuu
Four years ago, on a freezing winter afternoon in Tokyo, the chill in the air cut like invisible blades through the thin coats of passersby
The year-end winds howled through the narrow streets, carrying with them an icy breath that made everyone huddle deeper into their thick jackets
Bare, brittle branches trembled by the roadside, as if shivering under the harsh weight of winter
Yet, in the midst of all that cold, Suzuki Reita, a young man who had just turned twenty-eight, felt an inexplicable warmth—as if winter simply couldn’t touch him.
Suzuki Reita
//Smiles brightly//
Reita was nestled in the arms of Shinichiro Sano, the man he loved more than anything else in the world
They were sitting on an old wooden bench in a small park near Shinichiro’s house
The sky above was heavy with gray clouds, pressing down upon the city in a blanket of gloom
Bitter winds swept through, tousling Reita’s jet-black hair, but he didn’t seem to care
Shinichiro, with a radiant smile that rivaled sunlight, held him close—and the warmth of his body was enough to chase away all the cold.
Reita spoke up, his voice soft but laced with playful mischief.
He looked up, his clear eyes gazing at Shinichiro’s chiseled face, where that smile always made his heart skip a beat.
Sano Shinichiro
What is it, my love?
Shinichiro replied, his deep voice laced with teasing warmth
He tilted his head, dark eyes glowing with gentleness, like he was looking at the most precious thing in the world.
Suzuki Reita
What if... one day you leave me?
The question slipped out before he could stop it, a sudden surge of invisible fear rising within him.
Shinichiro froze for a moment, surprised by the sudden question
Then he chuckled, his laughter ringing like a chime in the stillness of the park.
Sano Shinichiro
You little idiot.
He scolded fondly, reaching out to pinch Reita’s nose, earning a playful “Ouch!” in return.
Sano Shinichiro
Silly boy, what kind of unlucky question is that?
Sano Shinichiro
Of course that won’t happen!
His smile beamed like sunlight breaking through the gray clouds—lighting up Reita’s entire world. Reita looked at him, his heart dancing in his chest.
He whined, pouting dramatically, then snuggled deeper into Shinichiro’s arms, seeking warmth and safety
He pressed his cheek against Shinichiro’s chest, listening to the steady, strong rhythm of his heartbeat—reassuring him that Shinichiro was real, and here.
He whispered, his voice so soft it nearly vanished into the wind
He could feel Shinichiro’s breath, warm and gentle, brushing against his hair
With him, everything felt perfect
The cold, the loneliness he once endured before meeting Shinichiro—they all melted away
Shinichiro was a fire that warmed not only his body but lit up his soul.
Reita spoke again, his tone stubborn but his eyes glowing with quiet sincerity.
Suzuki Reita
I’m really greedy, Shin-kun
Suzuki Reita
I want to keep you all to myself, never let you go
Suzuki Reita
You know… I’m scared
Suzuki Reita
Scared that one day, you’ll disappear and I’ll be left with nothing.
Shinichiro burst into laughter, a low, comforting sound that echoed in Reita’s ears like a lullaby
He leaned down and kissed the messy top of Reita’s head, the gesture so tender it made Reita’s heart melt.
Sano Shinichiro
You’re such a dramatic kid
Sano Shinichiro
But I want to protect you too, Reita
Sano Shinichiro
You know, I don’t even understand how I ended up falling for such a mischievous brat like you.....
He paused, locking eyes with Reita—as if trying to burn this moment into memory.
Sano Shinichiro
Love doesn’t need a reason
Reita blushed, happiness flooding his entire being until he was left speechless
He could only tighten his arms around Shinichiro, holding on as if afraid he would vanish.
Suzuki Reita
Promise me you won’t leave, okay?
Suzuki Reita
You have to promise!
His voice trembled a little, half-joking, half-serious
He looked up, eyes sparkling like stars, filled with hope and affection
Sano Shinichiro
Okay, I promise
Shinichiro replied firmly, like he was vowing something sacred
He tightened his embrace, pulling Reita closer
Sano Shinichiro
I’ll stay by your side, forever
Sano Shinichiro
Nothing can tear us apart, Reita
Sano Shinichiro
I promise...
Reita smiled, his expression radiant like the morning sun
He believed him. Believed in that promise, in the love they shared
In that moment, he thought nothing could ever separate them
Their love felt like a perfect romantic novel—sweet, fated, and destined for a happy ending
He was greedy, selfish, wanting to hold onto this moment forever
Wanting time to stop so he could stay with Shinichiro, just like this
Suzuki Reita
Shin-kun, did you know?
Suzuki Reita
When I’m with you, it feels like the world only has you and me in it
Suzuki Reita
Everything else… doesn’t matter.
Shinichiro laughed, ruffling Reita’s hair
Sano Shinichiro
You really are such a foolish kid
Sano Shinichiro
Makes me want to protect you even more
Reita looked up, meeting Shinichiro’s gaze.
Suzuki Reita
You better not be lying!
Sano Shinichiro
I’ll never let you be lonely, Reita
Reita nodded, pressing his cheek once again to Shinichiro’s chest, listening to the rhythm of his heart.
Suzuki Reita
That’s good...
Suzuki Reita
Because I don’t want to be lonely either, Shin-kun... //Whispers//
They sat there, in the cold of winter, but their hearts were warmer than ever
Reita closed his eyes, letting Shinichiro’s warmth wrap around him
He wanted time to stop.
Wanted this moment to last forever
He didn’t want to think about the future—about what might happen
As long as Shinichiro was here, everything would be okay.
" 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 "
Chapter 2: " The Unspoken Goodbye "
The day Shinichiro died, Reita’s entire world collapsed.
It was at dusk, when the crimson sunset stained Tokyo’s sky like spilled blood
The news came from one of Shinichiro’s close friends—Akashi Takeomi.
Akashi Takeomi
[ ☎︎ ] : R… Reita…
Akashi Takeomi
[ ☎︎ ] : Sh-Shin… He’s… he’s been killed…
Reita didn’t remember how he got to the scene
His legs moved on their own, carrying him through crowded streets, past flickering neon signs, to the place where Shinichiro had fallen.
The shrill wails of police sirens blended with the cries of Shinichiro’s friends and family.

Shin-nii...

Sano Emma Children ]
Waaah… Shin-nii!!
Baji Keisuke [ Children ]
OAAAA!!
Baji Keisuke [ Children ]
Hanemiya Kazutora [ Children ]
Wh… Why…?
Hanemiya Kazutora [ Children ]
I did it for Mikey…
Hanemiya Kazutora [ Children ]
It’s all… it’s all Mikey’s fault...
Hanemiya Kazutora [ Children ]
That’s right… it’s Mikey’s fault…
Hanemiya Kazutora [ Children ]
He has to die… Mikey has to die...

Reita stood in the crowd, staring at the body covered by a white sheet
Blood stained the pavement like fallen petals—deep red and cold.
Suzuki Reita
Sh… Shinichiro... //whispers//
He dropped to his knees beside him, hands trembling as they reached out for the fabric—but he couldn’t bring himself to pull it back.
He was terrified of the truth
Terrified to see the face of the one he loved… now reduced to a lifeless corpse.
Tears fell from his eyes, dripping onto the frozen pavement, blending with Shinichiro’s blood.
Suzuki Reita
No… this can’t be happening… //murmurs//
Suzuki Reita
You promised me… //choking up//
Suzuki Reita
You said you’d never leave me…
Suzuki Reita
Shin-kun, you lied… You’re a liar…
Suzuki Reita
//clutches his head//
Memories of Shinichiro came flooding back, a wave that drowned his thoughts
His smile, his warm voice, his comforting arms—
—all of it, now gone.
He wanted to scream, to cry out to the world, but his throat tightened, and only broken sobs escaped his lips.
A deep, weathered voice came from beside him
Reita looked up with tear-streaked eyes
Standing before him was an elderly man with a worn face and eyes heavy with sorrow
It was Sano Mansaku, Shinichiro’s grandfather.
Suzuki Reita
W-Who are you...? //shaking//
His mind was blank, eyes blurred with tears, silently pleading for an answer, a miracle, anything that could bring Shinichiro back.
Sano Mansaku
You’re Suzuki Reita, right? //gentle//
He stepped closer, placing a frail, comforting hand on Reita’s shoulder.
Sano Mansaku
It’s going to be okay
Sano Mansaku
Don’t overthink
Sano Mansaku
Shinichiro… he wouldn’t want to see you like this
Reita lowered his head again
Tears dripped onto the cold stone beneath him.
Suzuki Reita
Why… why did this happen?
Suzuki Reita
He promised he wouldn’t leave me…
Suzuki Reita
I don’t… I don’t want to lose him… //whispers//
Suzuki Reita
Grandpa, how can I bring him back to me?
Suzuki Reita
What should I do...? //sobs//
Sano Mansaku
...... //gently strokes Reita’s head//
Sano Mansaku
Life… is often cruel, Reita.
Sano Mansaku
//trying to hold back tears//
Sano Mansaku
But Shinichiro loved you
Sano Mansaku
He’d want you to go on, to live well—
Sano Mansaku
—for him, too
Suzuki Reita
//shakes head//
Suzuki Reita
I can’t do it… Grandpa.
Suzuki Reita
Without him, I don’t know how to live
Suzuki Reita
I just want him back… just one more time…
Shinichiro’s funeral took place soon after, under a heavy, suffocating atmosphere
People came to say goodbye—but Reita stood alone, silently staring at the casket
His heartbeat felt like it was breaking.
Each throb, each pulse, only reminded him that Shinichiro was gone
He held a photo of Shinichiro in his trembling hands, his fingers tracing over the smiling face frozen in time.
Suzuki Reita
Just yesterday…
Suzuki Reita
You were holding me…
Suzuki Reita
//muttering//
Suzuki Reita
Why didn’t you say goodbye, Shin-kun...?
Suzuki Reita
Why did you leave like this?
He stood there among strangers, feeling more alone than he had ever felt before.
Shinichiro, the light of his world, was now just a nameless grave.
But all he could do— was let his tears fall, silent and full of pain
Chapter 3: " Salvation in the Snowy Night "
Tokyo was still as radiant as ever, but for Reita, this city had become nothing more than a graveyard of painful memories
He walked down the snow-covered streets, snowflakes melting into the strands of his jet-black hair
The biting cold of winter no longer made him shiver—his heart had frozen long ago, ever since Shinichiro left this world.
Suzuki Reita
Wow, snow's falling early this year...
He murmured to himself, his voice tinged with a forced optimism
Tugging the collar of his coat higher, he walked slowly along the sidewalk
Cars passed by, and neon lights from tall buildings danced across the wet pavement
Tokyo still buzzed with life, still bathed in glamour—but to Reita, it all felt distant and cold
He felt like a ghost, drifting unnoticed through the crowd.
Suzuki Reita
I should head home soon...
He thought, eyes scanning unfamiliar faces
For seven long years, he had forced himself to keep moving forward, yet every step he took was a painful reminder of the one he lost
Shinichiro—the man who once lit up his world—now existed only as a scar in his memory
Reita had vowed loyalty to him, refusing to open his heart to anyone else
His love was eternal, like a vow he’d never break.
His footsteps scraped softly against the snowy ground, creating tiny, crunching echoes.
He whispered, his breath turning into pale wisps of smoke in the frigid air
Stopping, he looked up at the sky
Snow fell silently, like the tears of winter itself.
Suzuki Reita
Shin-kun... can you see me?
Suzuki Reita
I still miss you... every single day...
Elsewhere, hidden in one of Tokyo’s shadowed alleyways, Mikey curled up, his empty black eyes staring into the void.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
......
He wore a torn T-shirt, his once-shiny platinum hair now dry and brittle from the cold
Exhausted—physically, mentally, spiritually—he had nothing left, neither warmth nor will
Once hailed as the "King" of the underworld, Mikey had abandoned it all: gangs, power, and the loyalty of countless subordinates.
Now, he was merely a shell of what he once was.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
It’s almost over...
Just a few hours ago, he’d stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper, watching the tiny people scurry below
He'd thought of jumping—of surrendering himself to the icy embrace of the ground
But something had stopped him
A faint, inexplicable feeling.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Boss!! Where are you?! // Frantic voice //
His voice echoed through the streets, yanking Mikey back from his thoughts
Mikey opened his eyes again, a sharp glint returning to his dead stare.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
......
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Move it!!
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Why the hell are you all just standing around?!
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
We’re on it, you damn ogre.
Their voices overlapped, urgent and annoyed
Mikey sneered faintly—just a twitch of the lips.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
* Still searching for me, huh...? *
But he had no plans to return
He wasn’t hiding out of fear
The alley stank of garbage
The concrete was cold and wet
No one would think to look for him here
Meanwhile, Reita—wandering with no destination—happened to turn into that very same alley
His footsteps halted at the sight of a curled figure in the shadows.
Under the dim streetlight, Mikey's platinum hair shimmered faintly, catching Reita’s attention
Something about the figure pulled at him—a strange, quiet familiarity.
Suzuki Reita
Uhm... // hesitant //
Suzuki Reita
Hey, are you okay...?
Mikey slowly raised his head, his pitch-black eyes locking onto Reita
That gaze—so empty, so sharp—made Reita shiver despite himself.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
Get lost
The words sliced through the cold air
Reita blinked, surprised by the harshness.
Suzuki Reita
Are you... really alright?
His voice stayed soft, filled with concern.
Suzuki Reita
It’s freezing out
Suzuki Reita
You shouldn’t be sitting here.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
// Glares sharply //
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
Don’t make me repeat myself.
But Reita, somehow emboldened, crouched beside him, studying the boy more carefully.
Suzuki Reita
Don’t you have a home...?
He asked gently, like he was speaking to someone long forgotten but still dear
He looked at Mikey's dry, tangled silver hair—beautiful, even in its ruin
Something about him stirred something deep within Reita… something he couldn't explain.
Mikey didn’t respond, his eyes once again void of life
Reita hesitated, then continued.
Suzuki Reita
You don’t have to be afraid.
Suzuki Reita
I just want to help.
A soft, warm smile—like sunlight breaking through the harshest winter
For a brief second, the air around them felt a little less cold.
Mikey stared back, no words, but not entirely emotionless either.
Suzuki Reita
Come on, get up // Concerned //
Suzuki Reita
You’ll catch a cold out here
Suzuki Reita
Are you hungry?
Suzuki Reita
There’s a ramen shop nearby
Suzuki Reita
I’ll take you there
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
.....
He should’ve been annoyed
Should’ve shoved Reita away
Should’ve said something cruel.
As Reita offered his hand, with eyes so honest and smile so kind—
Mikey, almost unconsciously, stood up... and followed him.
At a small roadside food stall, the rich aroma of ramen mingled with the freezing winter air
Reita excitedly ordered two bowls while Mikey sat in silence, his dark eyes fixed on the steaming noodles in front of him.
Suzuki Reita
Two bowls of ramen, please!
The stall owner—a kind-faced middle-aged man—nodded warmly
? ? ?
//Places two bowls down//
Reita turned to Mikey, the smile on his face unwavering.
Suzuki Reita
Hey, white-haired guy, this is seriously the best ramen I’ve ever had!
Suzuki Reita
I always stop by here whenever I need something warm in my belly
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
.......
Mikey said nothing, silently picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
He had always been picky with food—dishes like this never even made it onto the menus Sanzu used to prepare for him.
But with that first bite, something warm began to spread through his body, melting away the frost that had long since encased him.
Reita watched him eat and couldn’t help but smile.
Suzuki Reita
* Look at him eat… he’s really enjoying it *
A small, quiet joy stirred in Reita’s chest.
Suzuki Reita
So… what’s your name, white-haired guy?
Mikey paused, looked up at him.
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
Mikey
Suzuki Reita
Whoa, that sounds kinda Western! //grinning//
Suzuki Reita
It really suits you, y’know
Suzuki Reita
Totally cool-sounding! //sparkling eyes//
He didn’t understand why he’d followed this kid—why he was eating cheap ramen he once would’ve scoffed at.
But the warmth… from the broth, from Reita’s persistent smile… it made something inside him loosen, even if just a little.
Suzuki Reita
Where’s your family? //innocent tone//
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
......
Suzuki Reita
Eh… you don’t have a home either, huh?
Sano Manjiro - Mikey
......
Reita looked at Mikey, and something in his chest tightened.
He didn’t know who this boy truly was—didn’t know the heavy past he carried.
But he recognized the pain in his eyes.
It mirrored the sorrow he’d felt the day he lost Shinichiro.
Suzuki Reita
Then come stay at my place!
He said it without hesitation, grabbing Mikey’s hand and pulling him to his feet
Suzuki Reita
It’s freezing out here!
Mikey let himself be pulled
His feet moved on their own, following Reita’s light footsteps
And for the first time in years, deep within his frozen soul,
Mikey felt something strange bloom—something fragile but real.
A sense that maybe, just maybe... he wasn’t entirely alone anymore.
