Akaza's pov:

Fireworks...the only thing I might e scared of are fireworks. Not even Muzan, or Kokushibo can scare me more than them. However...am I really...scared? They are not scary, like at all. They just wake up in me some kind of a nostalgia, and I strongly believe they are connected to my past life. When I'm watching them, it reminds me of someone, someone I think I used to love...
Dammit! No matter how hard I try, I can't remember her! And I know it wasn't just her, there were some other people I loved and cared about. I can't remember anything, the way they looked, the way they talked, none.

And today's the festival. As far as I knew, the sky would be filled with fireworks, and it would light it up so much that people will believe it's still daytime. 

I wish I could go, but I don't have the courage to do so. I feel so pathetic whenever I see them, pathetic and stupid for not being able to remember anything. This feeling is so unpleasant, it makes me wanna walk out in the sun and turn into ashes. 

Will I always be like this? I really, really hope not, I really do, because otherwise, I will go insane. Only if I'm not already insane enough. 

,,Akaza-kuuun! What are you waiting for? Let's go to the festival! It's starting soon..."

,,Daki...I'm not going..." I said, for the first time rejecting her.

Daki looked at me shocked.

,,B-but why?! I swear it'll be so beautiful!"

,,I said no"

I walk annoyed to the door, and shut it down. Cuss me harder than ever for acting like that to a lady, but if I wouldn't, Daki won't leave no matter how much I would beg her.

I lay in my bed, looking at the wall. I guess I have nothing much to do, except to hunt humas down. But I'm not in the mood for it. I don't want to do anything this day. All I want to do is to see the fireworks. And I can't because I'm afraid.

***some time later***

,,Knock! Knock!"

WHO TF IS AT MY DOOR NOW?! Can't I have a piece of peace in my life?!!? I try to ignore the knocking, but then I hear a voice say:

,,If you don't let me in, I'll enter myself!"

To my disappointment, Douma entered the room right away, only to find me laying on the bed.

,,What are you doing? The festival is about to start!"

,,I'm not going."

,,Why, Akaza-dono?"

,,BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO! Understand already, for God's sake!"

Douma looked at me speechless. His expression turned into a worried one soon. Why can't he just leave? I know he really wants to see the fireworks, so he better leave now if he doesn't want to miss them.

,,Alright, I'll stay here until you'll tell me why you won't go!"

He crossed his arms, making a stupid puppy face. It took my brain a few seconds to proceed what he had just said. But when I finally understood, I got out of bed and punched his head. Blood splattered everywhere. 

,,That wasn't very nice...Akaza-dono..."

I got more annoyed.

,,Don't call me names! Get away!"

I reach out for his head again, but this time, he actually blocked my attack. Looking me deep in the eyes, he made me instantly calm down. I don't know how...his eyes actually have this power.

They are mesmerizing, deep, they are so...

   My thoughts are interrupted with him pulling me into a deep hug. A deep, caring hug, full of compassion. My eyes water at the amount of affection I get from him. I can't hold it back anymore. I just...need more hugs from him.

I hug him back as if he was the only thing left in the world. I'm scratching his skin, while also hugging the wits out of him.  Douma, on the other side, with his free hand, starts rubbing my hair, playing with it.  He dugs his face in it, making me blush. I hear him mumbling.

,,It's alright. Do you want to see the fireworks now? Just us two?"

I say yes without even thinking, all the fear that corrupted me went away, leaving space for Douma's affection to occupy. I hat to admit this...but I love cuddling him. I really do.

No one's pov.

Akaza's response seemed to please Douma enough. He picked the piklette up, caring him. Akaza wrapped his arms and legs around Douma's body, digging his face into his chest. 

They walked round through the forest. Akaza didn't know where Douma planned to take him, but as long as they were together, it didn't matter. They stopped at the end of a hill. 

Douma lied Akaza down, and soon joined him. For some time, nothing happened. The sky was still black, full of small, beautiful stars that watched both of them. Then suddenly...

Bum!

Akaza started getting nervous as the first blue firework colored the sky. And soon, other colors joined it, coloring the sky together.  The lights were dancing with one another, combining and pleasing everyone's eyes. The fireworks were so much more intense now, and, as they kept destroying themselves into the sky, something unexpected happened. One specific firework, was in the shape of a snowflake. A blue, crystal, snowflake. That firework tingled Akaza's mind, getting nervous and nervous by the minute. It was painful, yet incredible to watch. He was so fixated on the show above him that he didn't realize he was holding Douma's hand tightly...

*Back home*

,,See, it wasn't so bad!"

,,Mm...yeah. Thanks, I guess."

Akaza closed the door, throwing himself on the bed. He was exhausted from watching the astronomical show. He was also super relieved that it had finally ended. However, the same feeling came back again, the feeling of not being able to remember a single thing from his past life. 

He closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep. A really deep sleep.

It was daytime. As Akaza was admiring the flowers in the glade he was in, a feminine voice could be heard:

,,Hakuji..."
