Async (Ryuichi Sakamoto x Reader)

Present Day : Memento

~Your P.O.V~
I woke up the next morning and I felt something fuzzy on my neck. I got up and realized it was the scarf that sensei sent yesterday. 'I thought I told you to forget me, sensei.' My lips formed a teasing smile at the thought. I took it off and plugged in the iron while I make breakfast. I finished breakfast and check the iron if it's well heated. I straightened the scarf and took a shower when I done. I changed my clothes and on my way to the university.

I arrived and went to my class, the usual activity. I sat down and daydreaming to pass the time. "Morning, (y/n)!". "Morning, Akko—-Oh, it's just you Maya..." I snapped back when I saw Maya's face. "It's me alright!" she chuckled and sat next to me. "Who did you think was going to greet you?" she teased. "Sorry. I'm still used to hear Akko-san greeting me every morning.". "And Sakamoto-san too?" I nodded. Maya softly smiled and put her hand on my shoulder to comfort me. "Thanks."

"You wear your old scarf!" I giggled at her joke. "Yeah. I didn't realize I was wearing it to sleep.". "You really miss them, don't you?" I sighed and nodded. "If you don't mind me asking, how did you really end up in the river?" Maya asked. I started telling her the story, "We were taking an evening stroll and we sat by the river. We were reminiscing on when he first found me and I asked what would the future him do when meeting his younger self.". "What did he say?" I told Maya that he would punch himself and Maya laughed.

"What's next? What's next?" Maya sounded interested while I wasn't. I sighed, "We were in silence again and our eyes met. Before I knew it... I kissed him.". "Wait what?" she was clearly surprised. Maya asked how was sensei's reaction and I answered, "I felt that he was surprised at first but he returned it. It was nice but it didn't take long until I realized what I did."

"But how did you end up in the river?". "He pushed me." Maya had a look of disbelieve. "How?!". "I asked him to. Well, not directly." I explained that I want them to forget everything about me since I wasn't from their era. "I'm so sorry to hear that, (y/n)." Maya gave her condolences. "Thanks, Maya." I softly smiled. "You said that you want them to forget you, but how come he knew your scarf?". "I... don't know. I thought it was lost or something from all over the years." The class professor then came and we began the day's lesson.

The day went as usual and we had an assignment to make an essay about history of music. We can choose any genre we want and the deadline is on Monday. "What are you going to write, Maya?" I teased. "I'll do a bit of reading about classical music then I'll squeeze everything I know to one perfect essay!" Maya confidently explained. I giggled at her enthusiasm, "Of course you'll do that..."

"I'm guessing that you're going to write about the trio.". "Yup! Better not let those years of experience to waste." I somehow was excited. "Wouldn't the result sound a tad too personal since... erm... you know...". "I know. But I think I can manage it." I felt like I've said that before. "Alrighty then. See you at Monday, (y/n)! Don't forget to tell me when you have a gig on weekends!". "I won't. See ya!" we waved and went back home.

"I'm home." I exclaimed. "Welcome back, (y/n).". "Uncle? What are you doing here?" I was surprised to see my uncle. "I'm here to check on you and I'm sorry for the sudden visit." He apologized. I gave him a hug, "Thank you for coming." He pat my back. "I'm glad that you're doing fine."

I let go and went to my room first to put my bag. "I like your scarf, (y/n). Where did you get it?" asked my uncle about my scarf. "I dug through my closet and I found it so I thought I wore it for the day." I gave an excuse. "What's that?" I pointed to a package on the table. He took it and unwrapped it, "It was mailed to me a long time ago but I couldn't find the name of the sender." He unfolded the fabric and I recognize it. It's my outfit from the wedding.

"I thought it was weird that I never ordered this. I tried to gave it to my sisters but it didn't fit either of them so I kept it." he explained. "How did you find it?" I asked and my uncle gave the same answer I told him. "I think it suits you. Give it a try." He gave me the clothes and I went back to my room to change. I remember the exact order on putting it on and I remembered something, "Where's the hairpin Hosono-san gave me?" I found it and tied my hair to a bun.

I walked back to the living room, "How do I look?" I asked for my uncle's opinion. "You look beautiful!" he complimented. "Can I take a picture of you with it? Your aunt and parents are going to love it." I nodded. "Sure! And can you use my phone's camera too? I want to save it." he agreed and I lend him my phone. He took a couple of snaps with both of our phones and he gave mine back. "The kimono's pattern is quite unique but it matches the color of the hakama. Must be custom made." He commented on the outfit.

"Yeah. Whoever came up with this idea has a great taste of fashion." I lied although I knew that Takahashi-san who designed this. I sat down and scrolled through the pics my uncle took. "You're right. I do look cute in it." my thought slipped out. "Is that Ryuichi Sakamoto?" my uncle asked when he noticed a picture of sensei with Akko-san. 'I forgot that I took this.'. "How did you get this?" I told him that I found it on a website but I lied that I forgot the site's name. Actually, I was there and I took it secretly. "Maybe the site is already closed by now." I added. "That's a shame..."

"Do you know him?" I was curious to know. "I know that he got famous back in the 80s with his band if I remember. Why do you ask?". "Just curious." I answered innocently. I went back to my room to change back to my casual clothing. "I'll take them to the laundromat tomorrow." I told my uncle and he didn't argue back about it. He stayed for lunch then left after helping with the dishes. I gave him one last hug and thanked him for returning my outfit before he left. I went back inside and opened my laptop.

"Yellow Magic Orchestra... where do I start?"

A.N : Hey, guys! I'm feeling better now! Well sorta... Still have a  bad taste in my mouth... But anyway... This is the second and last chapter that I preemptively wrote and if you can guess when I wrote it then great! You found my foreshadow. I'm still debating if I should end the book with this chapter or I should make an epilogue or something. Well, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Sorry if it's short and I'll probably see you in the next one! RD out!! Boi!!!

P.S : It's funny that I actually had the essay but I wrote it BEFORE the assignment was announced in my class. XD
