Yakuza

True love depends on someone who truly believes in it.

It was an ordinary village, no different from any other. But there was a certain peculiarity there, a law that prohibited same-sex relationships.

You and Yakuza were enemies from the start, you never liked each other, you fought over little things, but sooner or later it grew into something more.

One day, at sunset, you stood under an oak tree, simply relaxing, and Yakuza appeared behind you. He looked different from... what you'd seen, even embarrassed. He held a small daisy in his hands, but a beautiful one, as if he'd been specifically looking for one. You opened your eyes and looked at him questioningly.

— "Don't take me for a fool...but...this is for you."

He handed you the daisy, and you were shocked. Yakuza actually wanted to be with you; all this arguing was just to get your attention, and in the fight, he didn't hit you on purpose, he just let you go.

So you started dating, but unnoticed, because... in your village, as was said, there was a law never to love those who love same-sex people, for this there was execution, which is why you were sensitive.

But one day, everything changed... That evening, under the oak tree, where you and Yakuza were, everything was fine and peaceful; you were talking and enjoying your rest. But neither of you even noticed the guards watching you, and when he saw your kiss, he immediately ran to the palace with what he'd seen. When you finished, you went your separate ways.

The next morning, when you went out to the market for a stroll, you heard a commotion. Everyone was gathering at the palace, some were shouting, others were surprised. You immediately ran there; there were a lot of people, and when you squeezed through them, you saw what you feared most.

A Yakuza knelt before you, his face as battered as his body, his breathing barely audible, and he stood before the executioner. He was accused of loving a boy, but he regretted nothing, not a shred of doubt...only pure love.

— “Even...if I die, I...will still not stop loving him.”

He looked at you.
