Little Kazu - Satoshi's Birthday Wish Part 3
When Satoshi woke up the next morning, Kazu was in the kitchen, eating an apple. He was once again back to his human size, which was a delight for Satoshi. Of course, Kazu looked cuter when he was smaller but seeing him like this made Satoshi think of him as a normal human despite the hideous outfit he was wearing.
“Did you sleep well last night, Kazu?” Satoshi asked. He was tempted to kiss the pixie but that would be inappropriate. Kazu might freak out if he did that.
“Un!” Answered Kazu. “Did Satoshi call Matsujun-san yesterday?”
“Yes, we will go to a movie tonight after eating dinner together. So, I will be home late. Do you want to follow us?”
Kazu responded with a small smile. “Satoshi is going out for a date. Of course, Kazu will not bother him. Satoshi might kiss Matsujun-san and Kazu doesn’t want to see it,”
Okay, Satoshi didn’t know what to say about that. So, he would just change the subject.
“You will follow me to work, right?”
Kazu shook his head, which surprised Satoshi.
“Kazu will be bored if he goes to the office with Satoshi. He will stay home today,”
“Oh, okay. I guess I will see you later tonight,”
Once again, Kazu only responded with a smile. It was unsettling for Satoshi to see Kazu like this. He wanted to ask Kazu, wanted to know if something was bothering the pixie. But, he didn’t think Kazu would answer him. So, he stayed quiet.
Then, Satoshi went to work. Before he left, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this would be the last time he saw Kazu.
And…
It was true. When he got home that night, excited to tell Kazu about the date, Kazu was nowhere to be found.
And, Satoshi felt empty, knowing he would never meet Kazu again.
Kazu watched the couple from afar. Both Satoshi and Matsujun smiled happily. He chose not to hear their inner voices, afraid that he would be heartbroken if he heard it. They looked genuinely happy so that would be enough to end his mission. He didn't need to rely on his ability to make sure Satoshi gets what he wished for.
Satoshi would be happy, Kazu convinced himself. Matsujun would treasure him. And, Kazu would be happy to see a happy Satoshi.
But, is that true?
He had been watching Satoshi for a long time. Long before he appeared in front of Satoshi to fulfil the wish. He had admired the human all this time. Perhaps he was even in love with Satoshi. But, Kazu had to suppress the feeling. They’re different. They cannot be together.
This would be the last time he came to see Satoshi. He would go far from here. Having done his job of helping Satoshi find love, it's time for him to move on. Satoshi would be happy with Matsujun, he was certain of that. And as time passed, he hoped Satoshi would also forget him. Admittedly, he shouldn't show up in front of Satoshi. That was against the rules. But, he couldn't stop himself from getting closer to his favourite human. If he had the power to erase Satoshi’s memory, he would do so. Not only Satoshi's memory. He would also erase everything about Satoshi from his memory. Unfortunately, he didn’t have such power.
"Bye-bye, Satoshi,"
After looking at Satoshi for one last time, he flew away.
A/N: First of all, Happy Birthday, Ohno Satoshi! Stay happy & cute! Thank you for spoiling us with your soothing voice, amazing talent and awesome personality. I will love you forever and support your decision.
Anyway, onto this fic. Well, the initial idea was to write a continuation of Chibi for Satoshi's birthday. But, nothing comes into mind. So, I did this instead. A pixie Kazu. If anyone wants to draw a picture of pixie Kazu sitting on Satoshi's shoulder while eating an apple for me, I will forever grateful for it.
Well, I guess the ending is unsettling, right. It's cruel to write a birthday fic with this kind of ending. As I wrote this story, I already set my mind not to give them a happy ending. At least, not now. I will revisit this fic later, probably writing from Kazu's POV this time. I want them to be together but to make that happen, Kazu should be a human first and it will be complicated to write from Ohno's POV. That's why I will settle for this ending first. I hope you're okay with it.
Let me know what u think of this fic, okay? Your comment and thoughts are very much appreciated :)
