"The heart valve's tissue are becoming very weak. As you can see, the outline is even fuzzier than before. I'm afraid that the tissues around the heart are fattening because of it. The possibility of it improving by itself is none. There are cases where the patient has lived to thirty without the operation, but your girlfriend's defect is deteriorating too fast"

Laito glared at the doctor "So you're saying that there's no hope for her and she's going to die?" he hissed grabbing the doctor's collar "There's still a chance if she takes a surgery, right?"

"Sir, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do without the patient's consent" the doctor replied "Nevertheless, the chance of her surviving after the operation is very low"

Laito clicked his tongue "Are you telling me to sit and wait for her to die?"

"Sir, there are many case-"

"Spare me the nonsense"

Laito Sakamaki is a debonair gentleman with a collective and vivacious demeanor, but the person he was earlier is quite the contrary of that. For a minute he lost himself there, anger and exasperation took over him. Those emotions he detests to feel surfaced the moment he heared about his bitch-chan's lethal condition. Who would expect that her heart helds an unpredictable time bomb that any minute might detonate, luckily it didn't went off yet. He never considered that she has a crucial secret.

Everyone there seems to know her, it made him wonder if those times she ardently beseech for his permission to let her go downtown was because she had a consultation. Heck, he never let her go once, a pang of guilt lingered in his chest. He has been walking along the streets impassively with no direction. His mind kept on picturing the face she would make, considering he already knows her little secret. How awkward it would be.

"Laito"

He heared a soft feminine voice called his name, his head jerked towards the direction of the owner of the voice. He was surprised to see Yui standing infront of him with her goofy smile. She giggled as she saw his mouth slightly parted, it's very rare to see him in a state like this. She wonders what happened.

"Reiji called the hospital, he says he'll send the limo to fetch us" she informed, but Laito just stared at her dumbfoundingly "Laito?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Am I not allowed here?"

"You're not allowed to go out" his voice was soft, but annoyance is above it "You just had an attack and now you're acting like nothing... Like nothing happened"

When she decided to look for him she was expecting to see the usual cocky and seductive Laito Sakamaki with his froth complex, but this my friend is a stranger. Her heart almost assumed that he's concerned, but that would be an understatement. Her mouth parted to respond, but no words came out.

"If bitch-chan wouldn't take care of her self, then I would be force to..." the hint of concern he has seconds ago is now gone "...take care of her"

"N-no" she stuttered "The doctor says I'm fine now"

"I doubt that, bitch-chan~"

It would be better if he would just drop this argument and move on like he usually does because Laito isn't the type who shows affection and sentiment, what he has is lust and false love, It's agreeable to the eyes of many.

"It's the truth"

"I don't remember ever giving you the authority to go out" he giggled "You're still defining me despite all the punishment I gave you. I wonder if bitch-chan really learned her lesson"

"Y-you didn't told me that I wasn't allowed to go out, and besides I have the doctor's consent"

"Now you're talking back" an eerie forced smile curl up in his lips "I wonder what punishment I shall give you"

Knowing that she couldn't do anything against him she shut her mouth and looked at the ground beneath her feet. He only listens to what he wants to hear, and is a deaf to her pleads.

"Hold my hand"

She looked up at him, a frown creased her forehead "Pardon?"

"This shall be your punishment"

He smirked as he held her hand and entertwined it with his into a lover's hold. They began walking in uttered silence. She has been blushing furiously as red as the hue could be. She's totally okay with walking forever holding his hands, but it's embarrassing. His behavior today is quite strange and the atmosphere around them is different from the usual.

It's astonishing and quite woeful considering by the time they arrive their hands would part. The warmth she gives and the rhythm her heart beats is stupefyingly comforting and it eases his mind, he wonders how he'll handle himself when it's all gone. The thought of his bitch-chan's death gives him a deplorable feeling, but the thought of her dying in his arms also gives him a pleasurable stimulating ecstasy.

A/N: R&R ;) So, should I continue?
