Overcome

“Hello Nee-san, it’s been seventeen years…how are things up there? The world was saved in the final battle. Our thirty-fourth birthday is today.” Mismatched eyes closed and the male slowly started to walk, gloved hands in the long coat.
‘Sumeragi-Sakurzuka-kun, do not forget your job later.’
Subaru sighed, it was hungry again. But what choice did he have? He was surprised the Tree could reach him despite being in Kyoto. Then again, he never bothered to ask Seishirou how strong his link with the Sakura was. Then again, why should he have? It’s not like he had ever planned on feeding the Tree, just being fed to it.

Subaru stood in Ueno Park putting a hand on the Tree. “Seishirou-san…why did you…? It’s been nine years so why..?”
“You know the answer to that Sumeragi-Sakurazuka-kun, do I need to tell you why?”
“You can shut up.”
“But it’s true, the Sakurazukamori can only be killed by the one they love the most.  Him by you, his mother by himself. Seeing as you lost your only love, you’re basically immortal aren’t you?”
“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?”

After the job Subaru curled up in the branches of the Tree and slept. This was the only place he could sleep since he felt close to Seishirou this way.
He heard several admirers of the Tree in the park, namely senior citizens and young teenage girls.
Below him he heard a young girl’s voice. “The sakura on this tree are lovely!”
“You like cherry blossoms huh? Do you know why they’re pink?”
That voice…impossible.
Subaru clambered down and saw a young man talking to the little girl. “They’re pink because—”
“Because underneath each tree is a corpse and they drink the blood of the corpse.”
The child took off scared and mismatched amber and emerald met two golden amber eyes. 
“How long I wonder has it been since I said that to you?”
“Twenty-five years but none of that matters…how?”
“I can’t say I know myself. Last thing I remember was being impaled by your hand but since you accepted my eye I guess it let me restart...I haven’t a clue on my age though.”
“As if any of that matters Seishirou-san…let’s go home…oh, and one more thing...I love you too.”
