SUMMERY: A heartfelt song shared between two Asian brothers. First story I have done. Please read and review :)
You'll be in my heart
Arms were wrapped around the Japanese nation as he was covered in blood and limp, he didn't know what was going to happen next. It would've been great if a miracle happened and poor Kiku wouldn't die, what did it matter anyway? He was obviously going to die. He winced when he felt the arms raise him up and start moving, the next thing he knew he was in a very familiar house, then he knew right away, he was at his older brother's house.
The arms let go of him and laid him down on a bed and he heard footsteps leave then came back a bit later with bandages and a blanket. The arms sealed most of the sore bloodied areas and wrapped Kiku up in the soft fabric that he could have sworn he would've fallen asleep to.
"Does this feel a little bit better for you, aru?" Kiku heard a familiar voice say,
"Yes," was all he could reply,
"Good," he heard the voice say back,
Kiku looked up at his older brother, Yao, with tearful eyes, eyes that would say "Thank you" every time you would look at them. Yao's amber-colored eyes started to fill with tears and he started to wrap his arms around the smaller one in a cradle-way and placed his lips on Kiku's soft forehead, giving hope that just maybe, Kiku would live.
"Yao..." the smaller one said softly,
"Yes Kiku?" Yao replied in a small tone,
"Remember that song you use to sing to me when I was little?"
"Which one?"
"The one you would sing to me, when I was lonely,"
"Yes, why did you ask?"
"Can you please sing it to me? I want to hear it at least, one more time," The Japanese nation begged.
"Yes Kiku," Yao replied wiping his tears.
Kiku halfway closed his eyes when he heard Yao's soft, flowing voice start singing away.
Come stop your crying
it'll be alright,
just take my hand
hold it tight
Kiku freed his hand from the blanket and gripped Yao's hand and tightens the grip just a small bit.
I will protect you from
all around you
I will be here,
don't you cry,
For one so small,
you seem so strong,
my arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us,
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry.
Kiku, tried his best to hold back his tears on that part, hoping Yao wouldn't see them.
'cause you'll be in my heart
yes you'll be in my heart
from this day on
now and forever more
you'll be in my heart
no matter what they say
You'll be here
in my heart,
always...
Yao started rocking back and forth, in a way to trey and relax kiku.
Why can't they understand
the way we feel?
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
we're not that different at all
Kiku smiled at how true that was
and you'll be in my heart
yes you'll be in my heart
from this day on
now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'cause what do they know?
we need each other
to have, to hold
they'll see in time
I know
when destiny calls you
you must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
they'll see in time
I know
we'll show them together
'cause
you'll be in my heart
believe me, you'll be in my heart
from this day on
now and forever more
Ooh, you'll be in my heart
no matter what they say
you'll be in my heart
always
always...
Kiku snuggles closer to Yao, thinking how true the song was.
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
always and always
just look over your shoulder
just look over your shoulder
just look over your shoulder
I'll be there
always
Kiku couldn't hold his tears any longer, he let them roll freely down his face, with some drops landing on Yao's shirt.
"Kiku, you really will be in my heart, aru," He heard Yao whisper
"I know, and you'll always be in mine," the small one replied
Yao hugged Kiku and ran his fingers through Kiku's jet-black hair, thinking how much he'll miss it after tonight, he heard Kiku finally sigh in a way that was never heard before, his heart stopped, he wouldn't move, it was official, Kiku was gone. Yao wasn't going to get rid of the body tonight, he laid the lifeless body down beside him, and he cried himself to sleep.
The next morning was unexpected, Yao woke up and felt something in his hand, he moved his eyes and saw another hand on top of it, which was warm, his eyes followed to where the arm led to and he saw Kiku, sores gone, and breathing. Kiku's eyes fluttered open and widened when he saw Yao's eyes, who's eyes were widened as well. The both of them felt tears rolling down their faces, yet again at how happy they were to see each other again. Yao yanked Kiku into his embrace, feeling his heart moving again.
"I thought you died, aru," Yao whimpered through his tears.
"I did, but I don't know how I..." Kiku couldn't find the words to finish his sentence.
"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that you're alive," Yao sighed and kissed Kiku's forehead once again.
There was a small silence in between the two until Yao heard Kiku softly humming the same song that was sung to him last night. Yao couldn't help but sing it to him again.
