Summary: Alice loved all aspects of her nursing job, except for just one little area of discomfort…
Blood
Blood was her secret dislike.
Suffice to say, as a nurse, she had many patients who suffered from severe terminal diseases, and most of them often coughed up blood. But she had never felt the warm vitality of life gushing out and sliding through her slippery fingers in a bright red torrent. And the compassionate young woman certainly had not been burdened with the arduous task of watching her lover die right before her view, fading away in her arms. Her crimson eyes glistened with tears of melancholy as she gently cradled his head in her hands, desperately clinging to his bodily heat and comfort even though he had already left.
Deep scratches were embedded all over the front of his body – she shuddered to think of what his back looked like – and his clothes were torn in some places. A quick inspection told her that the fatal blow had been the puncture directly into the artery of his neck. Upon first sight of his form, the horrified nurse had immediately worked to stop the flow of blood, but he had already lost too much. She could only hold him comfortingly and whisper supporting words of love and devotion into his ear as he drifted in and out of consciousness. Her brave and valiant boyfriend… how deeply Alice adored him, and the two years they spent together as a couple had been so short… she had wanted to be with him much longer…
They shared a short conversation before he passed away, and the words would forever remain in her mind, regardless of what happened in the future.
After her initial bout of hysteria, the young woman had forcibly calmed herself down to speak with him for the last time, "Y-Yugo, I'm going to get help…! I-I'll bandage you up and… and you'll just need to rest…!"
The fallen warrior spared her a weak smile and hoarsely denied her illusion; "A-Ally… don't… leave me alone here… please… I know… that I'm dying…"
She couldn't lie to him, and so the distraught nurse nodded slightly in reply, and then she began to sob as she lovingly tightened her hold on the dying man.
"Alice… stop crying… I want to… see your beautiful smile… before I go…" he whispered raggedly, his eyes full of emotion even as he gave her the command.
"Y-Yugo…!" She cried shrilly in mild chastise, but she tried to smile as he wanted her to, finding the action terribly difficult as it contradicted the overwhelming grief that weighed down her heart. "Hold on, Yugo… please, hold on…"
"G-get those ZLF bastards for me… will ya…? And… and please… save my brother… Save Kenji…"
Alice nodded hurriedly, willing to promise him anything and everything if it would help him to survive the night… even though she knew full well that it was impossible, due to the severity of his injuries.
Coughing in his effort to stay awake, Yugo lifted his eyes to glance upon the radiant face of his beloved girlfriend, and he whispered his final words, "A-Alice… I love you…"
Wet drops of happiness mingling with sorrow slid down her cheeks and she parted her lips to reply, but just then, she felt the last breath leave his body, and the devastated nurse broke into a fresh found of tears and fiercely held onto him, the pair staying frozen in that position for quite some time.
Hours later, Alice was finally found by her sister and their friends, still clinging to his bloody form.
End Request 1
Author's Note: Here is the first request! I decided to upload this as a separate series from the AKS Side Stories because I didn't want the short stories to get out of order. All the themes there are pre-set and numbered, and besides, I think it's easier on you readers to differentiate the two separate series. Oh, and IndigoSiren, because this one was specifically for you, please let me know if you like this story. I don't know what you were expecting exactly, but I hope you weren't disturbed by the blood and the violent mentions. My other readers, I would love to hear all your feedback, and feel free to leave requests in the reviews of this story.
With love for my fans,
