Work Text:
momo wonders why she always travels to the past. maybe it's because it was simpler back then than it is now. or maybe it's because she hated how in her time, it isn't how she planned it to be.
either way, those two answers were somewhat correct. but the real truth is, she just wanted to escape her reality.
it has been tough for her recently, due to her being a freshman at college, everything was new to her.
all her high school friends went to different colleges which often made her feel alone in this crowded hell of a school.
she would contact them every now and then, but she knew that they had drifted apart ever since the first semester started.
she was lonely, yes. without her friends, her other half, being here, momo felt so lost.
the bell rings which indicates that school was over, which took momo out of her train of thoughts.
she was thinking about them again, about her again.
momo sighed as she packed her things and went straight home as soon as she finished.
what was she gonna do when she gets home, momo wonders. perhaps do her homework? or practice her new choreo for dance?
nope, she's gonna travel back in time to see her.
momo smiles excitedly as she skips back to her place. she was happy to see her again, even if she can't speak nor touch her, she's glad that momo can get to see her bubbly self once again.
as she enters her front door, she dashes to her bedroom and presses the button of her own machine to arrive back in time and there she saw her, sana.
she was giggling as usual, with her hair being a mess from the wind and her hazelnut orbs reflecting the sun, it was a view like no other.
in that moment, momo knew that she fell inlove with her again.
she knows that she needs to move on. momo knows.
but why is she back here looking at her best friend lovingly knowing that she's already dead in her time.
it hurts so much.
if only momo could've done something to save her. if only momo was there when the accident took place then maybe, she could have saved her best friend, her other half.
but no, it's too late for that. it has already been two years and yet momo is still grieving over her death, is still hoping that maybe she could still save her.
but how?
it's impossible. she knows.
as momo's thoughts consumed her mind, she didn't notice sana coming in her direction.
she was too busy thinking of the what ifs to notice that sana had just walked through her invincible body.
momo froze as she felt the electric bolts go throughout herself as sana went directly towards her.
she turned around slowly to look at sana, only for her to see that she was staring right back at her.
that's when momo realized that she fucked up.
momo honestly did not know what to do, she just stood there, frozen in place.
"momo...?"
her breath hitches. because damn, it's been so long since sana called her name face to face.
tears started to fall as she was overwhelmed with emotions but hid it.
sana was startled as to why momo was crying. she knows that momo isn't much of a crybaby but why was she crying exactly?
furthermore, sana was merely confused.
the first reason being on how momo got here. she didn't feel nor see momo when she was walking, only stopped in her tracks as she felt some powerful energy that went throughout her body and then momo popped out of nowhere.
sana questions herself, how, how, how did momo get here? that's when sana gasped quietly.
"no way..."
her eyes looked at momo as she started shaking.
momo understood what went through sana's head. she is also aware of the consequences that will happen to herself.
"why? why did you come back in time? you know it's risky so why?"
sana threw in a handful of questions with tears in her eyes, she couldn't believe what was happening. she can't lose momo, not like this.
momo smiles gently, she was calm about the situation unlike sana. she took a hold of her best friends hand which sana gladly held back.
"if this is what destiny wants for the both of us, then i hope in our next life we could be happier."
sana couldn't stop her tears now, it was overflowing and it won't stop.
"at least here i can finally confess my unsaid feelings, am i right?"
momo just smiles as she saw sana's dumbfounded expression.
"you see, i liked, no, i loved you for quite sometime now. let's say about 10 years?"
momo giggles as she recalls exactly when she fell for her.
"i wanted to confess to you in my time but you see, i lost you."
momo's tears were also endless now. the day sana died flashed before her eyes once again before she continued,
"faith is really being unfair to us isn't it?"
sana couldn't hold it in anymore as she lets go of momo's hand and goes to hug her without hesitation.
"momo i love-"
though it was too late.
momo's body was already vanishing.
"no! don't leave me like this! not yet please!"
momo broke the hug as she stares lovingly at sana once more.
"live your life happily without me ok? i'll always watch you from afar so take care of yourself for me alright? even when i'm not here, my presence will stay with you at all times."
half her body was gone now, it's almost time.
"i love you, sana!"
almost there.
"momo i-"

"too"
momo's body disappeared.
sana stood there, unable to move from her spot.
"i love you too, momo."
she said in a whisper once more, as if she were still there.
sana smiles sadly.
with her tear stained face, she walks back home.
while walking though, sana wasn't thinking properly.
her mind, her body, her heart was craving for momo.
sana heard something, was it a car horn?
she turns to her right only to see a truck going directly towards her.
without moving, the truck hits her and the last thing that she saw before her mind blacked out was,
momo.
