( CLOSED ) | How can I answer my heart?
WHO: Mio Sonozaki & Leon Zhong
WHERE: Starting at Leon's apartment then a fancy hotel!
WHEN: 2/15
WHAT: Late Valentines Day date that starts off with pain
WARNINGS: Mentions of suicide. I'll edit in case anything else pops up!
[ They had twenty four hours for themselves. Admittedly, Leon was surprised when they were granted this day. It did kind of (actually majorly) frustrate him that they were stuck in the pits of hell for Valentines Day, but he made certain to make it up to his girlfriend. She deserved that much because he loved her and she's been through so much.
As much as he wanted to take her out starting early in the morning, he figured they both needed some time to do their own things. Leon spent the beginning of the day restocking on supplies and checking up on Jasmine. Being away from his dog princess was heartbreaking but he fully trusted her in the care of Sakura. By the time he was finished tending to everything he needed to do, it was a little late in the afternoon.
With the hotel room booked and all the presents gathered, everything was set! He also made sure that he was well dressed for this occasion. The last thing he needed to do was pick up the girl.
...
A sigh passes through his lips as he finishes straightening his tie. Mio's gone through so much and he was fully aware that she was suffering. But there wasn't a damn thing he could do to prevent any of this from happening. He closes his eyes and sits down on his bed, covering his face while looking defeated.
He's never felt this powerless before in his life. ]

'A- A hotel room?! Wait, wait, wait, this is way too fast... what does he plan on doing, he's not going to try that this soon, right? And we're even going back to that hell tomorrow! I mean, I don't mind, it makes me really happy, but my heart isn't ready for something like that!!'
Oh my god. ]
Okay, okay... I mean, I should probably change anyway, it's really cold outside.
[ A finger twirls around a strand of green hair, just a little bit nervous. ]
I need to grab my stuff, but I'm already packed, so I just need to get properly dressed. Thank you for coming, by the way.
no subject
Well, he's still distraught but for a completely different reason. Now he's screaming inside his head. He's completely frantic as he quickly responds to that thought. ]
I-I-I swear that's not my intention!! I simply... want to spend time with you for the day, just the two of us. I-It's hard to do that with your family and Xiaolang.
[ Oh my god is right. He swears that his intentions were pure!!! A small exhale escapes from his lips and he stands up, holding onto her hand in the process. ]
Take your time getting dressed. I have my stuff ready and packed as well so we don't have to go back to my place. [ There's a slight pause in his words as he laces his fingers in-between hers. ] You're welcome, Mio. I couldn't bear it if something happened to you.
[ While still grasping onto her hand, he leans down and gently whispers into her ear in Japanese. ]
You're my everything, Mio. I love you so much.
no subject
[ Her words pause almost immediately because she's shocked that those thoughts were heard. It makes her heart race and she almost wants to bury herself as he takes her hand, lacing their fingers together. She squeezes his hand tight and smiles rather proudly, pleased but embarrassed. ]
Sorry, sorry... I was just really surprised. I didn't think you'd go as far as to rent a hotel room just for a simple reason like that.
[ She says 'simple' with hints of adoration and affection, but what makes the blush spread from her cheeks to her ears is when he says those few words in her native tongue, causing her expression to become rather dumbstruck. ]
Idiot... [ Mio murmurs those words, soft. Warm. There's clear love in them, too. ] Now you're being an embarrassing romantic. But.
[ If he's going to do that, she only has to repay the favor, doesn't she? So she stays close to him, clearing her throat as she whispers soft words in his ear, in his own native tongue. ]
Even if I had feelings for someone else as 'Shion'... I think we were meant to be together. I don't have words to describe how much I love you. But as long as you stay with me, I'll be happy. I love you. I really do. So please, love me more than anybody else ever could.
no subject
It's... it's fine. It might be simple but I'd do anything for you.
[ His heart is filled with joy upon listening to those heartfelt words. There's so much love poured into them and he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world. His own chest was fluttering and this is just another reminder that Mio is the best thing to happen to him. ]
I feel the same. I believe that we were reincarnated so we could meet and be together. You have my word, Mio. My love for you is eternal and not even a thousand words would be able to express it. You're the only one for me and I promise that I will love you more than anyone else. If we are ever reborn again, you will be the the one I love most.
[ While still holding onto her hand, he bends down, bringing his lips to meet with hers for a tender kiss that's filled with all his love. He lets the kiss linger on for a few shorts moments before he breaks away, switching back to English. ]
Come now, go get dressed. You're going to enjoy the hotel room I picked out for us.
no subject
[ Her voice is soft, but she can't help that her heart's racing quickly when he's saying those words of his. It's the most embarrassing thing he's ever said, but she can't help but be happy about it. Maybe this is what it's like to be truly happy.
Because she wasn't happy in her last life...
That she made so many mistakes......
This is what she gets in return? She's happy, but at the same time--
'Do I really deserve this?' ]
Alright. Let's go quickly, then. [ Mio squeezes his hand tightly before walking back inside and into her room. ]
no subject
So when he hears that thought, he gives her hand another gentle and loving squeeze.
Since it's a thought that he wants her to hear, it's not heard but through this method he hopes that she understands.
'You deserve a happy life, Mio.'
With his hand still holding onto hers, he follows Mio into her room and closes the door behind them. He lets go of her hand so she can change and he quickly turns his back to her but it still doesn't prevent him from blushing. ]
T-Take your time changing....
no subject
[ She's joking of course, but she'll easily strip down, the sounds of clothes shuffling as she puts on something nice just for him; it doesn't take too long, though before she calls back to him. ]
I'm done now, so you can look. I have a jacket that I can put over it since it's cold, and I have extra clothes in my backpack, too, just in case.
no subject
[ Despite... that they've talked about being intimate before.
Still, even as he hears the clothes being moved around he's blushing. He claims to be a proper young man but when one has a girlfriend that's as attractive as Mio, the temptation to turn around and watch is real.
Luckily, he's able to hold in that urge and only turns around to look when she tells him too. The sight takes his breath away. She's so beautiful. Mio looks good in anything but he swears that she gets more stunning with each and everything she wears. There's a fond smile on his face as he walks closer to her and strokes the side of her face. ]
You look beautiful, Mio. I'd say you look like a Chinese doll but you're far prettier than any doll.
no subject
[ She's blushing hard, primarily out of embarrassment at that compliment, although she doesn't know how to feel, being compared to a doll. ]
Anyway, I'll grab my things. And a jacket. [ Which she'll go ahead and open the closet to grab a matching green jacket along with her backpack full of what she believes she'll need for going back to hell. When she's ready, she'll walk her way towards him grabbing his hand with a smile. ] Let's go?
no subject
[ Seeing her backpack causes a proud smile to curve on his lips. As always, she never fails to be resourceful. He's proud to have her as his girlfriend. His fingers intertwine with hers and he leads them out of her house and to his car. He opens the passenger door for her and playfully extends his arm towards the seat. ]
Your chariot awaits, miss.
no subject
'Not now. I don't want to remember something now!'
She spaces out so much that she doesn't even enter just yet or even say a single word. ]
no subject
Mio?!
[ He grabs her shoulders and looks at her with a desperate plea. Why...? Why did she have to remember something now? ]
What's wrong? What are you remembering?!
no subject
[ Her voice shakes slightly as she closes her eyes and shakes her head. There's a part of her that wants to pull him into her arms and hold him close, but she stops herself. ]
Let's go to the hotel first, though. Then... I'll tell you. You don't mind that, do you?
no subject
[ He fully respects Mio's wishes and understands. He wasn't fond of talking about his own memories to other people. The last thing he wanted was for someone else to eavesdrop on their private conversation and learn about the memories that she wasn't comfortable sharing to most people.
So once they are in the car, he quickly makes his way to the hotel (of course, he's trying his best not to speed). It's about a twenty minute drive to get to their destination. Just the exterior of the hotel is enough to wow anyone, it's certainly not the usual inns that people stay at. He steps out of the car, picks up their bags and gently guides her inside. Even the hotel lobby is quite fancy. Of course Leon's life is nothing but over the top, so when he picks out a fancy place... it's go big or go home.
He makes his way over to the girl who was standing behind the counter to check in and receives their room key in the process. ]
Our room is at the top floor.
no subject
Nevertheless, she gets into the car and the entire time she's. Eerily silent, as if she doesn't know what to say during those twenty minutes.
So she's just left with her thoughts. And none of them are pretty.
'I tried to kill myself before. But that's not a surprise, since I said that I needed to find a way to die. But... now I understand that memory now, too. I wanted to die because I sinned. I killed many people, didn't I? Even my sister.
The "me" in my memories... did all of this for Satoshi-kun. I was desperate. I wanted him to love me. But I made a mistake.
But that memory... I wanted to die to join him. Because I was left behind. I was alone. It hurt to feel abandoned. Knowing about these feelings terrifies me. And there's so many other things that scare me.
I'm scared that maybe someday I'll find out that all my memories before I got the application were all fake. But, I like the "me" right now more than anything. And I like Leon so much too, that's why I'm scared of what might happen if we do find out the truth about everything.
I just want to love Leon. Why are my memories making it so hard for me to do even that?'
But eventually she's snapped out of that as she's guided inside, and honestly? She's in awe - she can't help but gasp in amazement as she smiles at him, but it's a little sadder than usual. ]
The top floor, huh? So you must have gotten a really expensive room just for one day... I'm really honored that you'd do all of this for me.
no subject
[ Even though Leon is trying his hardest to keep his cool, his mind kept running back to the car trip to the hotel. He could hear them. Every single one of those horrible recollections.
It hurt him. It was painful to learn that Shion wanted to kill herself . His heart ached that she was left behind all alone. Even more so because he's worried that it might happened to him; that he will end up all alone.
Leon's own thoughts were irrational and petty but he hated Satoshi and utterly despised retrospec. Stupid, stupid Satoshi... why must that fool keep appearing in his Mio's memories. If it wasn't for that god forsaken application, then he and Mio could live happily together without having to worry about anything else. It's their faults. It's all because of Satoshi and retrospec and he hated them.
Though to be fair, it wasn't
that damnSatoshi's fault and he deep down inside, he knew it. It's just so hard to be rational when he heard 'I just want to love Leon. Why are my memories making it so hard for me to do even that?' It felt like a stab in the heart to hear Mio say such things.Since they were at the top floor, the elevator ride takes a bit of time to get there and throughout the journey, he's quiet. He hated this. Why couldn't they just be left alone to live their normal lives? Once the elevator reaches the top floor, he leads them both out and to their designated room. Taking the key card, he swipes it and opens the door for them to enter.
Even with the tension, he can't help but be somewhat amazed by the luxurious room. There's a huge walk in closet that's more than enough for them to leave their bags inside. In front of the silky smooth bed is a big screen TV and a mini fridge right besides it. The large window gave a beautiful reflection of the giant city that laid below them. In the bathroom, there's a typical shower but the most noticeable thing inside is a huge jacuzzi big enough for two. ]
... It's not bad.
no subject
[ Mio raises a brow, looking at him as if none of those thoughts in her head were there to begin with. She can't help but smile rather proudly as she takes off her shoes near the entrance of the room before taking her bag off to put it into the closet before hopping into the bed, laying down and staring at the ceiling. ]
This is so nice, Leon. I'm happy. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living here. Well... if there was a kitchen, it'd be perfect.
[ Since she likes to cook, alright? She pats the side of the bed. ] Hey, you should join me here so we can talk.
no subject
[ The thoughts he heard from Mio earlier had dampened his mood, so he accidentally sounded less enthusiastic about this room than intended. It truly is a really nice room and he appreciated that he was able to grab such a luxury for the two of them. ]
Sorry, I was thinking about something. You're right, though. It's really nice. [ He makes an attempt to smile, trying not to worry her. ] Of course since I picked it out, it's bound to be good. My standards are quite high.
[ Likewise, he takes his shoes and leaves them near the door. He then walks over to the closet to hang up his jacket and leave his own backpack inside. Once he's done, he walks over and sits down next to her on the designated spot. ]
It would be nice to have a house like this. [ Maybe one day in the future, he can build a home for the two of them. Of course, that's for the far distant future. ] ... I'm ready to listen to you, Mio. Don't hesitate to share whatever is on your mind.
no subject
What were you thinking about, by the way? [ But she gets that his standards are high. Mio's standards, on the other hand, aren't as high as his. Rolling over to her side, she smiles at him. ] I'm a little... curious.
no subject
I...
[ He closes his eyes and lets out a sigh, before he's finally able to look at her directly in the eye. ]
During the car trip to the hotel, I heard what you were thinking. About... Satoshi.
no subject
... I see. Are you mad, Leon? It's pretty weird, honestly. A lot of my memories are tied to Satoshi-kun, [ she says it with the honorific because it feels natural, even as she's speaking in English, pulling her legs closer to her chest. ] but that's probably because I loved him. No, I definitely did.
[ But there's something about the way she says it that seems sad, melancholic. A touch regretful. She's using past tense, though. ]
Um... don't tell Xiaolang about this, but. While we were going down the ladder, I remembered two things. I'm concerned that he might be worried about me because I kind of froze up in the middle of it, though. I can't tell him what I remembered. The first memory was me, talking to my younger sister.
I said horrible things. That I didn't kill her friend [ she's pretty sure she knows who 'Kei-chan' is referring to, after all, and it's here when she swallows hard. ] so I could kill her, instead. I think I came up with some sort of plan where my sister would be disguised as me when I pushed her off, so everyone would think that she's......
[ She's finding it difficult to say. At least, while looking at him. So she immediately casts her gaze towards the ceiling. ]
So everyone would think that she was the serial killer that I actually was. And even though she was crying at me, even though she was begging me not to kill her, I pushed her anyway. Ahaha, I'm cruel, aren't I? Killing my own sister. It's disgusting.
[ Her hands tremble, and the laugh she made was cruel, but there was something about it that seems... almost hollow. ]
The moment I fell down the ladder and managed to catch myself after the fall... I remembered something else. I... [ She interlaces her fingers together, tight. And she then looks at him straight in the eyes, tears already trickling from the edges. ] I died. I remember dying.
[ ... ]
And the last thing I recalled, just now. I... was planning on killing myself. I wanted to jump into the well because if I did that, I would be able to join Satoshi-kun. Because I was left behind. I don't really know... what I meant by that, but I think I was probably living by myself, away from my sister, and the rest of my family. Because there's no way I'd say that I'm lonely if I was living with them, right?
Um, so...... what do you think? About all that?
jfc this wins for the longest tag i've ever written
... No, I'm not mad. It's something that was in the past and so long as it doesn't effect our future. I have no reason to be mad at you.
[ Even with his doubts, he just had to keep trusting in Mio. He believes that their love will be able to overcome this situation.
He's completely silent as he listened to her story. Though Leon's heard glimpses of her memories through their telepathic link, actually listening to them coming out of her mouth is a whole different story. It made his heart ache even more as he watched her tearful expression and heard her sad voice.
It's a lot to take in. To say he's horrified would be an understatement but it's not directed towards her. He hated that she had to endure such a terrible past life and recall every single one of these awful memories. It really takes a toll on someone. His heart ached for Mio. She's just a seventeen year old girl trying to live her life... and this is what she gets.
She doesn't deserve this.
He mirrors her and also rolls on his side, facing her while also tenderly placing one of his hands on top of her trembling fingers. Leon places a soft kiss on her forehead as his other hand slides over and starts brushing his fingertips through her hair. ]
I promise I won't tell Xiaolang about any of this. Truth be told, I heard some of your memories while we were apart during that time. [ As he stares at her, his facial expression is soft but his eyes were filled with sadness for her. ] It's shocking to hear but my heart is in pain for you, Mio. It hurts me that you have to recall all of those terrible memories. I am relieved you are telling me this, I was quite worried after we had that conversation when we got back from our missions.
[ As he continued to string his fingers through her hair, he pulls her in closer to his body, so she can feel his warmth. ]
I'm not going to condone or reprimand on killing. You... already know I've killed people in my past life as well. Just remember this, you are innocent in this lifetime and you didn't do any of those things. Mio, to say that you have made people happy in this life would be a huge understatement. You're a smart, kind and charming girl. You have a lot of friends that care about you, parents who love you and myself who loves you as well. So don't forget any of that.
[ He understands how it feels. Fortunately for him, his memories aren't near as terrible as Mio's but if it ever gets to that point, he feels like he would have a hard time separating himself from his past life. ]
What hurts me more than anything is you remembering your death. No one should have to relive something so horrible. You don't deserve that in the slightest.
[ There is something he needs to address, in regards to what he heard during the car ride. ]
I will say this. I'm... also secretly terrified that everything before this application isn't real. It hurts to think about my parents whom I care about might not be real. However... [ His hand that was cupped over her hand, begins to lace his fingers with hers. ] What's happening right now is real. My love for you is one hundred percent real. Even if my memories before this application are fake, it's not going to change how I feel about you. I love you for who you are and if there's one thing I'm grateful to this application and city, it brought us together.
You make me a better person and your presence brightens up my day. So no matter what happens, I'll always be here by your side. I'm absolutely determined to bring you happiness in this lifetime, Mio. Of course, I can't say how Shion would feel but I like to think she would want you to be happy as well. You are my reason to smile everyday and healed me in ways no one else can. So, I want to do the same for you.
[ After that long monologue, he finally manages to smile at her; it's one that's filled with nothing but love for the girl he's fallen madly and deeply in love wiht. ]
Your happiness is my top priority.
this deserves a fucking trophy, also i think i might just match it.
But there's still things she doesn't recall. She remembers her feelings, her sister talking to her all night about Satoshi as she asked questions about him. About how she pitted revenge for him. That she killed people for him.
It's because of that, however, that she wounded up dead, she's sure. She doesn't want to make that same mistake again. Which is why she promises herself that she won't. That she'll be the happiest in this life. It's probably what her past self would have wanted, right?
Lips part slightly when he finally rolls on his side on the bed, his hand on top of her trembling ones. It's that warmth and comfort that allows her to relax, just a little bit. Her lips quirk upwards into a smile. One that's full of so much emotion that she can't exactly place it into words. They're sad, but happy at the same time. Relieved, yet completely and utterly terrified.
But it's all fine, really. Especially when he runs his fingers through her hair. ]
I know. [ Her words are soft and she buries her face in his shoulder so he can't see her shed more tears. Even if he can feel them, all the same. ] I know we talk about these as our past lives, but... what if they're not, Leon?
[ It hurts to say those words, but she can't help but wrap her arms around him tight. Almost too tight that it's probably painful. It's surprising sometimes, just how strong her small body is. ]
What if they're our memories, as they are? That means any innocence doesn't matter, because I've already sinned. I killed, and killed, and killed... all for nothing in the end... I'm a horrible monster. A demon.
[ Yeah, that's right. She called herself that before, didn't she? She remembers the thoughts that she had, back then.
'Shion begs with tears in her eyes.
That would have affected me if I was still Shion's sister.
But I don't feel anything now because I am a demon.'
She feels so much self loathing for herself that she wants to die. It makes her almost sick to her stomach. So when he say that she's made people happy, that she's smart and kind, and charming, and that she has people who care about her, she's crying for a completely different reason altogether. And she lifts her head to look at him, to see his expression. ]
My parents, huh... they don't even know the real Mio Sonozaki at all... But then again, how could they, if I don't even know?
[ It's already so hard to separate her own self. And now with the whole Shion and Mion business, it's even harder. ]
The way I died was pitiful. But it was a death I deserved.
[ Her words turn as cold as ice as her expression hardens. It was a pitiful thing. It was the best way to get rid of the demon. ]
But. Leon. I... [...] If everything before this application isn't real, and that my memories aren't real, then how can I say that any of my feelings are real?!
[ Shit. She didn't mean to burst out like that with watery eyes, but it's happening regardless. ]
I didn't start loving you when I had the application. I've loved you even before then, so-- so--!
[ Her expression is written with terror and she's scared of herself. Of her thoughts, her feelings and she feels like her heart is about to split into pieces, shattering like glass. ]
Please, Leon... make me love you more. Make me love you more than anyone else. Let me fall in love with you more now. That's okay to ask, isn't it?
I'M SO GLAD we both deserve trophies
If that's truly the case, then way I see it, you've been given a second chance with this application. I know there's no way to undo the past, but maybe you can strive towards a better future? Focus on yourself and improve. It's the best thing you can do for yourself and the people in your memories.
[ It wasn't his intention to lecture her, but he felt as though this is what she needed to hear. His words are also a reminder for himself as well, he might have been in war but he still killed people. There's no way around it, innocent people died at his own hands. ]
... If what you said is truly the case, then I have to live with the fact that I killed people in war. So, I can sort of understand. [ Of course it's definitely not to the extent of Mio's memories because hers are far more worse than his own. ] It's going to be a tough road for both you and me, but... I'm going to do whatever it takes to become better than the person in my memories. So, I believe in you, Mio. It still doesn't take away from the fact you've made me and others happy.
[ His hand continues to run through her hair, in an effort to soothe her. ]
It's going to be hard, but you also need to be honest with your parents. Tell them exactly how you feel. Even your parents don't support what you want, then I will. So, please don't hesitate to fall back on me for anything.
[ While he's not exactly sure on the situation with her parents, he's more than willing to offer her a home if she needed it. He wants to think that her parents would love her no matter what, but he didn't know them very well to say.
Both of the things she says breaks his heart. It hurt him to hear her say that she deserved her death and to top it all off, hearing her doubts on her own feelings destroyed him even more. ]
I'll do it, Mio. It's not too much to ask and I promise. So, can you do this for me in return? Please believe in our love, believe in us. The idea that your feelings are possibly not real hurts me, Mio. I.. refuse to believe that's the case.
[ This time, it's his turn for his hands to tremble and he could feel some tears welling up in his eyes. ]
I'm not going anywhere. No matter what lies in our future, I'll always be here for you. What we have right now is real. Our dates, all the times we hugged and kissed, every single one of those moments are real. There's a reason I fell in love with you and it's not because of this application. I truly believe that we were destined to meet and be together.
puts a trophy on this thread
Yeah, maybe he's right about that. It's something that Shion wanted, after all. She remembers that much, now. That she wanted to redo her life, that she wouldn't make the same exact mistakes that she did. That she'd live a happier life. She closes her eyes for a moment as she relaxes in his touch and listens to his words carefully.
The touch of fingers on her hair is comforting. She loves it so much, when he touches her like this.
Has anybody touched her like this before...? Ah, that's right. She remembers, a little. Not the situation itself, but Shion had thought about it before, hadn't she?
'I don't remember it, but... Satoshi-kun stroked me on the head before, probably... that's what I thought before, right? That I fell in love with Satoshi-kun because he had his fingers on my hair. It's a little selfish of me, but I want to know if Leon's better at it than he is. Ahaha, if he heard all of this in spite of me not wanting him to, I bet he'd probably compete for some sort of weird headpatting competition to make sure that he's better.'
Mio, please. Eventually she opens her eyes and pulls away to look at him directly. They're still red and a bit poofy, but she totally understands. She swallows hard and glances away, a little hesitant. ]
Even if that means telling them I don't want to be the heir anymore?
[ There's only one person that she's vaguely talked to this about, and that's her sister, Kotone. To be fair, she... kind of feels bad that she hasn't spoken to her lately. But she's been wanting to keep her distance, ever since she recalled that memory of killing her own sister.
She doesn't think she can actually stomach facing her right now. She needs some space.
But what surprises her the most is that he asks her to promise her own thing.
To believe in each other. Their feelings. And that he truly believes that this was fate. But... there's a part of her that's terrified that it's all scripted out for them, like a storybook. Which is why she reaches out to him, putting her hand on his cheek, smiling rather fondly. ]
I want to believe that. I really do. So... I'll ask you, then. What's the reason you fell in love with me, Leon? I want to hear your answer.
