imnotreadyimnotreadyimnotreadyimnot- I'm literally panicking. DO I REALLY WANT TO LET THIS ONE GO YET?
[APOSxIS]; Modern AU; This one will be a long story with a lot of chapters~ I've been trying to think of a prompt in which I could write a long story with this pairing but I couldn't think of any. So, instead of thinking of a new prompt, I'm using this one; this one was supposed to be for DiExIS. v-v I'm changing a lot of things and such. No lie, I think this is going to be tough. But I'll try my best and I hope it'll turn out okay;;;
About the Story: I'll be using the transform classes. (DiE, IS, APOS, NW, VC etc.) For Rose, I will be using CR.

Chapter 1: Nothing
Black.
Gray.
Drab.
Dark.
Silence.
Nothing.
This is all what Ain saw, breathed, and lived every day.
Black.
Gray.
Drab.
Dark.
Silence.
Nothing.
Over and over almost every moment, every hour, every minute, every second, and every millisecond.
There was only a short moment where the nothingness paused in time. Everything would still be black and would still be dark but there was something; someone with a beating heart.
"...How are you doing today, Ain?" A voice asked, piercing through the empty chasm that lay between Ain and the world.
"...Same as always...Elsword," Ain stated mundane as he always did every day. He felt Elsword's warm hand grasp his. Many bandages were taped on Elsword's fingers. "...Did you get hurt...?" Ain tightened his hold but his grip was weak.
"...It's nothing to worry about. I brought your food. Are you hungry? I also bought some bread for you." Ain heard Elsword rummage through his bag. Bread was then placed in his hand.
"...Thanks..." Ain nibbled on the bread. It tasted sweet and fresh. Ain's bandages soaked up tears that welled from his eyes. The doctors forbade both him and Elsword from taking off the bandages that covered his eyes. It had been about five to six years since he last saw the world.
Elsword would often tell Ain how he hated the doctors here.

"I'm telling you, Ain, these doctors are no good! They barely even take care of you properly! They refuse to even see or touch you! We should sue them! They even keep your food outside, waiting for a nurse or me to take it in. But not even the nurse would come in here...Doesn't that bother you?" Elsword had ranted one day.
Ain didn't care. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered. "...It doesn't matter...I'm better off dying...I'm just a waste of space..."
"Don't say that! Of course it matters! At least to me! You matter to me...So...don't say things like that..."
-/-/-
If it weren't for Elsword coming every day, Ain would have given up. He would lose that very tiny spark of life and hope he had left in his heart.
"...I don't get why you can't get discharged...you feel nothing wrong, right?" Elsword asked.
"...I feel no ailments..."
"Shitty doctors. What's there to be afraid of?" Elsword grasped Ain's hand once more. "I'll always be here for you, remember that."
Ain's arms were splotched with patches of a different skin color that made them look like they were suffering from a rash. Everyone but Elsword were afraid to touch them. The doctors even said that the sickness had spread through his eyes and parts of his face. They didn't even know what was wrong with him. Ain's negative attitude also repelled them to even try to do anything to help. "...Why do you keep coming...?"
"Because you're my friend, Ain. I'll never abandon a friend." The words were firm and pricked the surface of Ain's heart.
"...Will you be back tomorrow...?" This, Ain also asked every day.
"Mmm, of course." There was a slight hesitation before Elsword let go of Ain's hands. "...Wait for me..." Ain heard Elsword pick up his things. He never said those words before. But, it wasn't like Ain could leave this place anyway. "...I'll see you later, Ain." Elsword stood there awaiting an answer.
"...I'll see you tomorrow." Satisfied, Ain heard Elsword's footsteps exit the room and the door close behind him.
Everything was nothing once more.
